Rolling fields stretch towards the distant North Sea, offering sweeping #CountrysideViews and #CoastalScenery characteristic of rural Northumberland. The landscape near Alnwick is dotted with small fenced pastures and a scattering of trees, creating a tranquil #RuralEscape perfect for quiet walks. Clear skies and open farmland merge with the coastal horizon, an inviting scene for #NaturePhotography enthusiasts. The area lies close to several scenic spots and National Trust treasures along the Northumberland coast, making it a quintessential #ScenicLandscape.

A wide rural landscape stretches beneath a clear blue sky with scattered clouds, featuring open fields of green grass divided by fences and hedgerows. A small playground structure and a few scattered trees appear in the middle distance, with a cluster of darker woodland beyond. Rolling farmland extends towards the horizon, where the blue line of the sea is visible. A gravel track curves through the foreground, bordered by neatly cut grass, and a few low stone markers sit along the edge. The scene is quiet and open, with no buildings or significant activity apart from the agricultural layout of the fields.

The Ultimate Act of Petty Justice: Painter Turns Building Into a Viral Call-Out for Non-Paying Client

When "the check is in the mail" turns into a public masterpiece of petty justice: The story of the painter who turned a building into a giant unpaid invoice.

We’ve all been there—waiting for a payment that never seems to arrive. But in 2020, Dean Reeves, a professional painter from Bolsover, England, decided he had enough of the "I'll pay you tomorrow" routine. After allegedly being stiffed on a £500 ($645) bill for painting the exterior of the former North Star Club, Reeves didn't call […]

Whitby Harbour stretches out beneath a clear sky, where gentle waters reflect the colourful fishing boats and the bustling quayside. The historic buildings lining the waterfront evoke the town’s maritime heritage, blending with the charm of a classic coastal town. Visitors strolling along the pier are treated to a serene #HarbourView, with #SeasideScenery framed by the distant cliffs and the North Sea beyond. The working harbour, dotted with #FishingBoats, is a picturesque reminder of Whitby’s long-standing fishing tradition and enduring appeal to travellers seeking #HistoricBuildings and coastal charm.

A quiet harbour with calm water reflects a line of historic buildings with brick and stone facades, some topped with red-tiled roofs, stretching along a wooden quay. A few small boats, including a bright red vessel, are moored in the sheltered water, while wooden pilings and sea walls frame the harbour. On the left, a row of shops and houses sits close to the water’s edge, with steps leading down to the quay, and a gentle slope of green hills rises behind the town. Clear blue skies and sunlight highlight the contrast between the calm water and the bustling waterfront.

Any other #Nascom or #Gemini #vintagecomputing geeks out there? I inherited a rather large collection from my late dad, but so far I've only found a handful of people why are into the #Galaxy computers made by Gemini Microcomputers Ltd., and none in the Fediverse yet. The Geminis were made in #England and mostly featured the #Zilog #z80 although they very briefly ventured into Motorola 68K world before throwing in the towel.

Say no to #Palantir in the #NHS

NHS #England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass #deportation in the US & enabled #genocide in #Gaza

One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. #PeterThiel claimed it “makes people sick” & that the British people love NHS because we’re suffering from Stockholm syndrome
