Beyond the old Norman entrance of Skipton Castle is the gem that is Conduit Court. This paved and cobbled courtyard, surrounded by a range of domestic Tudor buildings, contains the famous yew tree reputedly planted by Lady Anne Clifford. The courtyard takes its 1/3

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies. Pass it on. #ActOnClimate
Please, please sign this petition. I love fireworks but I'm sick to death of them being let off willy nilly for weeks on end by total numpties. Enough is enough. Tia
In case you haven’t signed the two #firework petitions, here’s the links again. The Parliamentary debate is 19th January, but more signatures would still add weight to the campaign. Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only. It has over…
Wow. This is Nonna Natalina. Born in 1935. She just turned 90. She lived through war, hunger, rebuilding, and a slower Italy that no longer exists. She now does cooking videos on social media. Here she is making ravioli.
"You cannot appoint yourself to our story." Tupaarnaq Kopeck is a Greenlandic Inuk and she has a powerful message for the US president. #Greenland #HandsOff
I’m SICK of people attacking those on benefits. I’ll say one more time. I had a partner and a beautiful family. But sadly he died. I had 4 kids by myself. I didn’t have family to help step in. I ended on benefits because I couldn’t afford childcare. My kids were 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and…
I’m not doing Black Friday this year. I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands. Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business. Shop independent this Christmas. gailmyerscough.co.uk
Agree.
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.
My parents both got skin cancer. I now wear a hat and sun protection on bare skin. Please, peeps, take care of yourselves.
A painless procedure but stings now. Four nasty sun damage lesions removed (head, back & chest). Respect the sun!

What on earth was the reason for the three-line whip to vote this down? The Labour party supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023. Has the government offered an explanation for blocking it now? @WriterHannahBT
I’ve woken up even more furious as I process what #Labour has done. A 3 line whip to ensure swift bricks are blocked after promising to do it? What a betrayal. People power will work. Email me at [email protected] & you’ll get a template to amend & use
I’ve lived with treatment resistant clinical depression since my mid-thirties, (I’m 62 now). Living adventurously has helped me discover my innate desire to live a fulfilling life, even when my illness threatens this.
#birds Swifts fly thousands of miles to breed in the UK—only to find their nest sites blocked up. Their ancient forests with nest hollows now gone, they relied on cavities in buildings, but these, too, have disappeared. To stop their steep 2/3rds decline since 1995, an…
