Mmm. I may have been hasty in selecting Tree of the Day winners from Watford bus stops today. I am now some way away from there and this is my view right now. Incredible! Like a painting even on an iPhone!! Free signed copy my next book Living Better for the closest guess to where I am.
After yesterday’s multinational podium, today’s Tree of the Day very niche. Trees at bus stops near open water swimming venues in the Watford area. Despite being so niche this is a strong field, but I think the big guy is a clear winner.
Thank you @tortoise for giving me space for 9000 words to talk about mental health in lockdown, mine and that of people like @damekellyholmes and others from sport, politics and culture. Above all thanks for using this picture and so reminding me of this wonderful moment ..... it’s 💓
Yesterday pic 4 was my Tree of the Day, tho dead, because sometimes it is about shape, scene and setting. Today’s winners are from those sent in by people feeling they had good shape, scene and setting. Gold to the amazing solitary tree close to a near Forest at Mam Tor in the Peak District. Silver to France 🇫🇷 from Marion van Renterghem and bronze to Ireland 🇮🇪 with thanks to Anne Callanan in West Cork.
Sometimes, because of shape, setting and scene, a dead tree can win Tree of the Day, like this poor old sycamore in Notts. #TotD
Some days a winning Tree of the Day is so beautiful you just have to give it a congratulatory hug, whatever the quizzical look of George the dog. Not my dog obviously. Skye loves hugging trees. Glenys Kinnock enjoyed a little tree hug too. #totd
This useless bloody government can’t even put an apostrophe in its own name
A month or so ago, you may remember, I was so depressed I could barely speak. Today I am pretty sure this particular cloud has lifted. Here is one of the reasons why @kennedyfitldn
This is quite weird. And heaven knows why they use those silly bubble machines. Bardsley burst one with a nice little headbutt. A bubble not a machine
The gaffer is in the building. Can definitely hear him .... #whubur
And take a look at the detail in the @FT just now. Red tape nightmare. Costly. Bureaucratic. Job-destroying nightmare. All the things they said would never happen are happening. The liars and charlatans who created this on their false promises deserve to be absolutely destroyed
Isn’t #Brexit brilliant? Spaffing millions up the wall (using @BorisJohnson’s phrase) to let people know:
1. Holidays will cost more
2. Expect delays
3. Buy health insurance or pay
4. Mobile calls will be expensive
5. Leave pets at home
Who’s benefiting from #Brexit? 🤷🏼♂️ https://twitter.com/karlturnermp/status/1282574664418635777

To be fair, it would’ve been hard to get all that on the side of a bus. https://twitter.com/simoncalder/status/1282566953396310016
EU travel after Brexit transition ends on 31.12.20
It turns out the UK voted for:
Higher travel insurance and mobile roaming costs.
Tougher passport rules.
Pet travel rules so complex that BBC man says: "Pets of Great Britain, say farewell to the Dordogne”
