@bluebirdk7 I get the feeling that the Ruskin Museum are trying to prove K7 should only be a museum exhibit and are doing their damndest to make it so

They're still struggling. Solving one problem just throws up the next. Not seen a usable canopy yet either.

I'd like an ID for this small ladybird if possible please. Seen in my NW surrey garden. 10-spot has been suggested. Thanks @wildlife_uk2 @UKLadybirds

Plenty of ice on the lake @Painshill today.

I've seen photos of ice spikes but never seen one. This appeared in a shallow water dish for birds in our garden this morning. #waterspikes #ice #metoffice #bbcweather

A little ice on the lake @Painshill changing the reflection of the Ruined Abbey. Plus a little 'anomaly' in the water - maybe caused by a small spring on the lake bed and a coot on the ice

Good to see the beginnings of the replacement Chinese Bridge @Painshill. All but 2 pairs of uprights are now in place

Nigel Farage wants to take these human rights away from you. Which of them don't you want?

A very different view of the Crystal Grotto @Painshill. Taken while working with the Grotto Service Team to clear silt from the Grotto lake inlet #follies #grottoes

@Tone_Killick @UKgardenspiders I couldn't believe the colours of the first one, in fact I didn't think it was A. diadematus at first. I had to move her as well as she would have been trampled on

@GrahamDash @UKgardenspiders That first specimen is utterly stunning, Graham!!

A pair of very gravid and different coloured Araneus diadematus in the Kitchen Garden at Painshill, Cobham, Surrey on Friday @UKgardenspiders @Tone_Killick

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Our NW Surrey garden seems to have become a 'hot spot' for Jersey tiger moths. Almost every time I go into the garden I disturb one. Last evening I saw 3 at the same time with maybe another 2 @surreymoths

@VirtualAstro Snap

Lady of Shallot rose from my garden

@PaulineRowson There was a bit of matchmaking involved too with 2 of the staff; both called Hillary!

@PortsmouthReads I met my wife in Cosham Library when we both worked there as library assistants in the early 1970s. We both went on to library school with encouragement from Geoff Salter, but moved away from the area when we married in 1974.

Have you heard Cosham Library is 90 years old on 23rd May? We have lots of Birthday plans! If you visit Cosham there are 2 new book displays to celebrate this! There's a collection of novels from 1935, and one of books about life in the 30s. #coshamlibrary #cosham #90thbirthday

@PaulineRowson Cosham Library is where I met my wife when we both worked there as library assistants rather a long time ago (early 1970s). Just coming up to our 51st wedding anniversary.

Nigel Farage has told @itvnews the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY

First sighting of a Misumena vatia spider in my NW Surrey garden yesterday (14th April). Prey is Syrphus sp. hoverfly @BritishSpiders
