Elizabeth The Great.

@Charlesvoicema1 😔

Queen Elizabeth II, moments of the State Funeral. Accompanied by the music of "I Vow To Thee My Country". Be aware, it can hit you behind the eyes....

This will forever be my favorite video of Queen Elizabeth II. Unmatched sense of humour. We salute you, Your Majesty 🫡🇬🇧

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II ♥️ This is one of my favourites, a cherished moment from 2022 sharing tea with Paddington Bear during her Platinum Jubilee. Warm, kind and quietly magical. Simple, joyful and forever timeless.

@ArgyllSeaGlass It’s a lovely crisp and sunny day here. I went for a long walk this morning and now it’s 10°😃

The Ali Cat ferry crossing the Clyde heading to Gourock from Kilcreggan in Argyll Scotland this morning ⛴️ Feels like temps moved up to 2° now 🥴 hopefully gets into double figures later 🤞

@MandyLSimard It was 17° yesterday, and apparently will be 4° on Monday.

Tell me you live in Canada, without telling me you live in Canada 🍁

@ArgyllSeaGlass You too!!

@AnneHenvey Wow Anne, crazy temp swings, hope you have a lovely Friday 💙

Another morning and another dreich start to the day on Loch Long in Argyll Scotland as we near the end of the longest Winter ever 😂 Feels like temps around 3° with rain and wind sticking around all day 🌧️ Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday 💙

A little timeline cleanse. 🥰

@otokyo__ @JohnKish20 Both obviously.

I need to settle a debate

@Davidjsalter @ktboldy I love my little hedge sparrows. Such cheerful little birds! They express themselves quite loudly if I’m late putting out their seeds!

I also draw birds I do love a sparrow, the little brown jobs in the hedgerows are so charismatic

Working on my 2026 Christmas card. Yes I know it’s spring but when the inspiration comes you’ve got to go with it. 😬

@johnkinsella52 @TheRealLeoBrown I’m grateful for you posting your work. And yes, your paintings bring a welcome respite from all the dark stuff. 🙂

Today I am grateful for the awesome people on my X feed. They are so kind, always sending positive vibes. I feel blessed to have this little haven in these often nasty times. I hope my paintings bring you peace. The Mouth of the Madawaska 2026 Oil @AnneHenvey @TheRealLeoBrown

@ktboldy How beautiful England is. I was born in Shropshire, at RAF Cosford. 🥰

April Love Whenever we set off on a long journey these days, I refuse to take the motorway. Instead, I deliberately choose the winding rural country lanes.  Returning from Manchester yesterday, we drove through the beautiful counties of Shropshire and Sataffordshire Turning the drive itself into part of the adventure makes all the difference. There’s something magical about taking in the scenery,  especially at this time of year, when the golden rapeseed fields stretch out like a glowing sea under the sun, brightening up the countryside even on dull cloudy days. And that beautiful crop will eventually become the cooking oil we use every day. Nature really is amazing, isn’t it?

@amazingraceart It’s the same here Grace.

Springtime in Scotland ❄️🌨️💦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@ktboldy Thank you for sharing this Keith. Such a terrifying yet inspiring story. All the best to you both x

"The Angel That Arrived on the Darkest Day" Today marks the fifth anniversary of the day my wife Chris collapsed with encephalitis. She was on the phone with her sister, chatting normally, when she suddenly fell unconscious to the floor. I called an ambulance straight away, and one arrived within minutes. But her condition was so serious that she wasn’t breathing. The paramedics called for a second ambulance with extra help. After thirty tense minutes, they took her away in the first ambulance, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. As it sped off, I was gripped with the fear that I might never see her again. At this point, we go back three months earlier, I had ordered a 2ft, (60 cm) tall “Angel” resin statue for the garden. The delivery had taken so long that I had completely forgotten about it. That same afternoon, while Chris was fighting for her life, the postman delivered a parcel. Inside was an angel statue, but not the one I had ordered. It was only about a quarter of the size and in a completely different pose. Every time I see it, I think it's going to the toilet. I’ve kept that little angel ever since, because it arrived on the exact day I thought I was going to lose the love of my life. I’m not a religious man, nor am I particularly superstitious. Yet that small angel has always meant the world to me. There’s something weird and wonderful about the timing. Chris survived that terrifying ordeal, and in my heart, despite everything I believe or don’t believe, I can’t help wondering if the angels really were looking after her that day. Who am I to say they didn’t? Five years on, life looks very different. The encephalitis was followed by dementia, and Chris is no longer quite the person she once was. The woman I fell in love with has changed in many ways. But she’s still here. We’re still here. And together we continue to make new memories, different ones, gentler ones, but memories all the same. That little angel statue still sits in our home, a quiet reminder of hope arriving when we needed it most. It reminds me that even on the darkest days, something unexpected and kind can still find its way to your door. If you’re going through something similar, a sudden health crisis, a frightening diagnosis, or the long, lonely road of caring for someone you love, I believe that miracles don’t always arrive with fanfare and bright lights. Sometimes, they come in a small, imperfect package delivered by an ordinary postman on the worst day of your life. And sometimes, that’s enough.

@24hrfromcroydon Stunning shots! Agree with using a water mark. Best wishes to her future career!

I think my daughter has a talent for photography and would be interested in feedback as to if that opinion is shared She is unable to work currently due to fibromyalgia and wonder if she may earn an income from her hobby #Springblooms #Naturephotography #Naturemoments #redfox
