I put today’s Tree of the Day to a twitter vote and pic 1 won by a mile. 🏴 gets 🥇 for this amazing wall-surrounded tree in St Andrews. North Devon wins 🥈 for 🏴 and Skye led me to the bronze for 🇫🇷
Some days - ok just today - you spot one tree made up of three constituent parts worthy of a full Tree of the Day podium. Left to right gold to bronze. What a survivor the droopy bit !
Tree of the Day is the one that made the bats of Woakes and Buttler. Fantastic partnership. Keep telling myself I will get off the sofa. Impossible. Test cricket at its best and though it would be so much better with a crowd having no fans doesn’t kill the passion in the same way it does football.
Tree of the day 🥇 🇫🇷- same tree different angle
Anyone who doesn’t understand tree hugging show them Pic 1. How could anyone with blood in their veins not want to hug that tree? So it is Tree of the Day 🥇 to Ireland 🇮🇪 Silver and bronze to two old Number 10 colleagues. @peterhyman21 might have won gold with his Whipsnade effort but he tried too hard by demanding extra points for two hippos. Bronze to @patmcfaddenmp for his Royal research in the New Forest - shared between 🏴 (venue) and 🏴 (homeland of photographer)

An early winner in Tree of the Day. Sent to me by Jack Ringland in Belfast where he was out walking yesterday as Northern Ireland and beyond absorbed the news of John Hume’s passing. Made me think of all those times when things seemed hopeless and John insisted there was always hope
My thanks to Mr Neil Atkinson for this beautiful shot of today’s Tree of the Day. A gold for Yorkshire!! Birnham Rocks, nr Harrogate. One day their football team gets promoted to the Football League. The next they win TotD. Can life get any better for Harrogate?
Today’s Tree of the Day winner was so confident of gold he even turned up with his own little bouquets for the medal ceremony #TotD
I’m not big on rainbow shots .... but when it’s a big rainbow ....
Publicly-funded tweet-tracking had me head-scratching. And then a more familiar story halfway down the article: “Faculty, which has two current & former Tory ministers as shareholders, has been awarded seven government contracts in the last 21 months”.
Government hired firm with links to Dominic Cummings to track tweets by UK citizens
The government has paid an Artificial Intelligence (AI) firm linked to Dominic Cummings and the Vote Leave camp to conduct analyses on British citizen...

History! A first Tree of the Day🥇 awarded to a diplomat. French ambassador to U.K. @AmbColonna sends this stunner from Corsica which is not only a survivor but a protector of a bench! #TotD gold for 🇫🇷
If only there was some way of knowing why Health Minister and former head of Public Affairs at Serco, Edward Argar, should be defending the disastrous track and trace performance of companies like - *checks notes* - Serco. #r4today
There is not enough journalism of this sort. In depth look at one case and one family ... too many journalists just move to the next piece of government blah.... Richie Mawson was a beloved dad and Liverpool fan. Did a late lockdown cost him his life? |
