@Amelia558rs local cat rescue woujld love them

I finally convinced my husband to get rid of his old towels (some of them are at least 15 years old) and bought a couple new ones. What do I do with these ? I don’t think Goodwill will take them.

#TheBritishHatGuild #milliners We can all relate to this with the likes of Shein selling ready made hats at ridiculous prices Milliners take years to learn their craft and skills, invest a lot of £ in their blocks before they even start to earn anything from a hat they have made

A big thank you to the British Millinery Association today for letting us talk about this year's 8th LIMC. They are sponsors for the competition and if you are not already a member have a look at their site and consider joining they offer lots of benefits! britishmillinery.co.uk

@sharrond62 So you live not far from my friend, how lucky

I am see this from my bedroom window 👍🏾 It’s ribbon by the way not paint … & it wasn’t me….this time 😜

Tonight in London packed buses, dodgy looking bikes, mopeds & people just walking. Night workers heading to their shifts, others struggling to get home, knowing it will be the same tomorrow night. Does @RMTunion care at all?

What an experience is Paris performing with the incredible Julien Cohen. Thank you for the support

Grok: Julien Cohen, a Parisian pianist and social media personality, organized a surprise flashmob on July 10, 2025, at Place de la Contrescarpe in Paris to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." The event featured 30 musicians and singers, including a Freddie Mercury impersonator, turning a quiet square into a spontaneous concert that quickly went viral, garnering widespread acclaim for its creativity and emotional impact. The flashmob's timing coincided with a period of personal turmoil for Cohen, as he was involved in a high-profile divorce from his ex-wife, Karen Ohana-Cohen, which led to the temporary closure of his hotel, Le Relais Fleuri, due to labor disputes. Despite these challenges, the event showcased Cohen's resilience and ability to channel personal adversity into a public celebration of music, highlighting the therapeutic and unifying power of art. The performance not only paid homage to Freddie Mercury but also demonstrated the enduring cultural significance of "Bohemian Rhapsody," a song that has been covered by over two dozen artists and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time, with over six million copies sold worldwide. This flashmob added to the song's legacy by bringing it to life in a public space, fostering a sense of community and joy among spectators and online viewers alike.

Freddie is looking down and giving y'all a standing ovation. That's spectacular!😍💗 The most INSANE Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob you will ever see!! With 30 musicians and singers in the STREET of Paris 😍 Cre : Julien Cohen Pianist
