Greetings from Chelsea Flower Show. I don’t get asked onto the Beeb much t these days to talk about ‘nothing to do with Brexit’-ology but will be on BBC2 Chelsea Flower Show show 7pm tonight talking with @themontydon about the healing power of trees. Pic 3 my Tree of the Day and pic 4 the 10k price tag!!! No wonder @gardener_jamie from @formplants is smiling if he can get ten grand for one of my Trees of the Day!!!
Ok, maybe I was too moved by the morning mist and so too hasty in judging this morning. So though the judges still love my morning snaps they have agreed to a review and decided this one in Kent from Henry Morgan deserves a share of the 🥇today !!!!
Morning mist and blue moon providing some early contenders for Tree of the Day from the train window
Tree of the Day. The picture doesn’t fully capture its yawning ‘must have a lie down’ posture …. but I know how it feels
The Europe energy price map I referred to in morning insta ramble.
This is the front page story that Jimmy Greaves later said was a key moment in his recovery from his addiction to alcohol. Doubly poignant for any colleagues from the Mirror Group of the man who wrote the story, Frank Thorne, who also sadly died earlier this month. A terrific reporter and a great friend to so many. As for Greavesie, great player and great bloke. Scored more goals against Burnley than any player in history - 21 - and also missed a penalty against Phil Mellor! My son texted me this morning to say he had been watching clips this morning and said ‘I knew he was good but I had no idea he was so good!’ He sure was. RIP Jimmy RIP Frank
Tree of the Day contenders all out of train window en route @burnleyofficial game. Momentarily takes my mind off the (undeserved) result. Winner the moodily lit shot.
My God we are blessed to have @parliament_hill_lido on our doorstep. @therealfionamillar and I were in there 7 o’clock this morning and again 8pm tonight as it was the last late summer swim before they move to ‘winter times.’ Bring on the cold water I say. And a big thanks to the wonderful staff who keep the place running
Train moving too fast and my fingers too slow so I only got a quarter of the tree in the shot out of the window !! You will therefore have to use your imagination to understand why it is Tree of the Day.
Tree tree-angle of the day … Haydock Park. Been speaking to head teachers. Fair to say major relief Big Gav gone. And despite the Tory mythology no tears shed for Nick Gibb. But wee Govey still seen as the man who did most of the damage.

Paul Kelley is one of the biggest turkey suppliers in Britain.
He’s given countless interviews with mainstream media about recent supply chain chaos but they refused to air a word of it as soon as he mentioned Brexit.
So here’s the truth.

Petrol and gas and food on supermarket shelves all so over-rated. Give me a blue passport any day of the week …
Very good idea. Unlikely to happen with these charlatans in power. Still no mental health minister after Dorries’ elevation to Cabinet.
What will help people be happier and increase wellbeing? Start by making sure Parliament pays attention to health numbers in the same way we do the economy...we need a Healthy Living Index in law.
