Raj was the most sought after session musician around, and has played with all of the greats. Miles Davis called him "One of the coolest cats around."

Father James Carey claimed to have been visited by green-skinned and moss-haired representatives of the legendary King of Oaks petitioning for ecumenical support for woodland conversation. Concerned parishioners reported him to the deanery. No action was taken. #WyrdOTD 6/11/1957

Beech is more expensive and is also slower of growth. Both hornbeam and beech share the pleasant habit of retaining their brown leaves throughout the winter until the young green leaves come to poke their desiccated parents away in the spring. #gardening

Caffè Nero charging five quid for a 'Billionaire Snowflake' is bold when it's just dry puff pastry in edible glitter having an identity crisis.

'An insult to his culture': Italian chef loses job after refusing to put pineapple on pizza

A beautifully gentle story for Bonfire Night; "a night show of fair fire flowers as quiet as a summer breeze"; mulled wine and warm blankets; to delight & entertain even the most world-weary soul.. 🍵🔥✨

That morning, the morning of Guy Fawkes night, the frost was as hard as iron and as white as swan feathers, but Old Fox had a wonderful breakfast with the Newcomer by his wagon - coffee so strong it made their whiskers curl and scrambled eggs and salty fried potatoes.

#FridayFryup Aunty Delias soft scrambled eggs, baby pots, tomatoes, air cured smoked streaky, plus Jason sprouted seeds sourdough...with a large cup of builders T 😉. Happy Friday all 😘

Kev from Air Traffic went to a concert last night. He said it was so posh even the urinals were gold. Anyway, turns out he was hammered and the saxophonist is suing him.

I bet he's trying his best though....

Perfect for Guy Fawks Night & easy to make with simple ingredients. Spicy Lentil Sausage Rolls www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2021/09/spic... Are there bonfires or firework displays near you tonight? All cancelled here, but I think that's a squeeze on the budget which is sad #dairyfree #vegan #vegetarian

It's bonfire night tonight. Here's a picture of our largest bonfire in the collection - celebrating the relief of Mafeking in 1900. It's on Midsummer Common, which is where they'll be celebrating later today at 7pm.

'Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.' Used to hear this old rhyme a lot in my youth, not so much now. Back then, Halloween hardly got a look in - Bonfire Night was the big thing... #Photography #History

It's 5th November - Bonfire Night and we remember the failed attempt to blow up Parliament. But we don't want to talk about York's Guy Fawkes today. No, we want to know why Thomas Bates didn't get a hat?

Mr Fawkes is here, time for Bonfire Toffee, treason and Plot. Along with Maypole dancing I'm probably the last gen (with others in this place) to remember that and urchins peddling their "penny for the guy". May even have done it myself rather unsuccessfully...
