@JamesWD29 Well done! This is what running teaches you . The pain is only temporary. The post run feeling is fantastic. Keep at it one run at a time

Start of week 4. Kept running at end of final 5-minute set and ended up running for 15 minutes straight, and for just over a mile. I thought I would never run a mile ever again #couchto5k

Beekeepers, have you lost many hives to damp this winter? Hearing of losses of 40-70% in my area. If replicated across the country, could be one of the worst years for hive losses in years.

@JamesWD29 Yes . We’ve lost 50% . We aren’t out of the woods yet.The remaining ones look weak . We are in the Pennines . It’s not starvation as there are still plenty of stores on. It’s the damp. We are on commercial hives. We’re thinking of putting a protective jacket on for next winter.

My fave things out of the glaze firing today.I was getting pinholes. I researched why. I then programmed the kiln to do a drop hold. It worked! Pottery is complex. Learning by mistakes. It challenges my brain. I learn by myself & I love the solitude of making. #pottery #ceramics

@annbates15 @carl_thompson70 Ann that is a marvellous photo. I love Lowry’s work. First seeds are in! Don’t know whether bees have survived winter yet. March can be the toughest month. Hope you are still busy potting

@carl_thompson70 @AllotmentHelen Thought you might appreciate this marvellous image, as I do! Hope all is well and plans afoot for planting/growing in the allotment, also that Bees are thriving.

L.S. Lowry died on this day 50 years ago. I recently read a biography of this wonderfully ordinary chap. He turned down five major honours including a knighthood (more than anyone else). He couldn't do with the mither. He owned just a couple suits, one of which he painted in.

Many years ago, my wife said to me “Make our Valentine’s night dinner memorable.” I did my best.
