#Lunch. #Woolies substituted smoked paprika for the sweet paprika I’d ordered.
Nah. Not a fan of the smoked at all, so I didn’t dish myself up much of the gravy & added #Worcestershire sauce to try & reduce the smokiness.
It (mostly) did the trick.
#Worcestershire Parkway is hosting a vibrant bee skep exhibition, created by local schoolchildren and artists, as part of a bee conservation initiative led by Great Western #Railway, Worcestershire Community Rail Partnership, Platform, and the Bee Friendly Trust. On display until June 2025, the eight decorated traditional skeps highlight the importance of pollinators and environmental education. Pupils from Norton Juxta Kempsey CofE and Honeybourne Primary Schools took part in creative workshops—funded by a £1,000 grant—learning about bees, gardening, and rail safety. Artists including Sarah Hoyle, Maddie Moate, Alice Baker, Lucy Caddel, Hattie Gordon, and Esther Rushton contributed to the display. The project has been praised for inspiring young minds and enhancing the station’s eco-friendly initiatives.

After today’s #election leafleting round for the #greenparty I took the pretty way home, along the Iron Age salt road that runs along the ridge of Oxhill, with fabulous views of the #MalvernHills
Wood Street was part of a network of salt roads fanning out from the brine pits of Droitwich and reputedly crossed the #malverns at Wyche before heading to South #Wales

The Local #Transport Grant (LTG) for 2025-2026 is a one-year capital grant designed to supplement the Integrated Transport Block (ITB) funding for local transport and maintenance in England. It is allocated to local transport authorities (LTAs) in the North and Midlands, excluding areas that receive City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) funding. The funding is calculated based on a formula, with 70% allocated according to population and 30% based on deprivation levels. The total LTG allocation for 2025-2026 is £226 million. Notable allocations include Greater #Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (£25.35 million), #Lancashire Combined County Authority (£34.95 million), and #Hull and East #Yorkshire Combined Authority (£15.63 million). Other authorities such as #Staffordshire and #Worcestershire will receive £15.63 million and £11.13 million, respectively, supporting local transport improvements across #England.

Delighted to have just signed my nomination forms as the #greenparty candidate for #malvern Langland division in the forthcoming #worcestershire County Council elections 
Fun evening last night enjoying Police Dog Hogan at The Regal Theatre in Tenbury Wells!
A tad disappointed they didn't do 'A man needs a shed' and 'Shitty white wine' but a superb performance anyway!
