Many villages across the UK have repurposed iconic red telephone boxes into tiny community libraries, where you can take a book and leave one for someone else to enjoy too if you want to

We grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.

Divine intervention? The sun came out just in time for @mikron first outdoor performance of Wensleydale Whey. Such a ' grate' production - loved every minute!

“Find joy in the little things.” 🌼 Happiness doesn’t always come from big achievements or perfect moments. Sometimes it’s hidden in simple things — warm sunlight, fresh flowers, a kind word, or a quiet peaceful day. Life feels more beautiful when you slow down enough to notice the small joys around you. The little things may seem tiny, but they often become the moments we remember the most. 💛 What’s one small thing that brought you joy today?

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years? Yes, forty, forty five years. Happy birthday Paul 🤘

@HullTruck facebook.com/share/p/1EDrwn… #teachers Any teachers out there- particularly those who've just had an Ofsted inspection - if you're able to catch this totally relatable reset of @jgodberco 's Teechers, it's well worth seeing. It gets a 10 out of 10 from me! 😉

Lest we forget...

@TheRepairShop that soap in the snake skin leather case belonging to the elderly gentleman prisoner of war Japan made me cry tonight. And the lady’s special doll. All those details 🥰

@tweetsue13 Lovely photos! 😊

Hunting for bluebells walk today… love them 💙

Oliver Postgate was born 101 years ago today Ivor the Engine – “The Dragon” (1976) There’s something truly magical about Ivor, especially Jones the Steam’s adventures with Idris the Dragon. Ivor's more than a locomotive, he's a childhood transportation system. Thank you, Oliver

Still Here, Still Selling 🍎 Not every street keeps a traditional greengrocer going. This Wellington Road shopfront feels like a small reminder of the everyday businesses that give places their character.

Good to see Mikron back out on tour again.

It's 1976 and I'm 8 years old. It's that beautiful summer and the school holidays. I've made a makeshift tent in the garden from an old bed sheet and a few wooden poles. Dad has just finished his shift at the factory. He's worn out, but he comes into the garden to see my brother and me playing. We're eating cheese, tomato and salad cream sandwiches, made with Mothers Pride sliced bread, and drinking orange squash. The ice cream van will arrive at 4pm on the estate. Our garden is our world. All of the windows and doors are open in the house. The heat is stifling. Ladybirds roam free. Dad has fallen asleep on the sun bed. That tent would remain in place for weeks to come. These are childhood memories. We must hold on to them.
