I saw this incredible Chicken of the Woods growing right on a Yew tree. Most guidebooks say you should never eat it when it grows on Yew because the tree is highly toxic, and the fungus can swallow up poisonous needles or bark as it grows. It's a great reminder to always check the host tree first. Would you ever risk harvesting one from a Yew?
If anyone keeps up with the Big Finish audios, The War Doctor Rises: Fear of the Light dropped yesterday and brings back the Rani for the first time in ten years. Siobhán Redmond is playing her opposite Jonathon Carley’s War Doctor, and the plot apparently forces them to work together against the Daleks during the Time War. Redmond mentioned in the release interview that she loves playing her because she's incredibly clever, naughty, and has absolutely zero empathy. Always enjoy a good Rani story, has anyone listened to it yet?
A photo of King George V and Queen Mary standing on the platform of their royal train during the 1911 Delhi Durbar. The carriage was designed with intricate Indian-style latticework (jaali), blending British royal transport with local craftsmanship. Does anyone know if this specific carriage still exists today, or where it ended up?
I’m finally thinking about trying the Milk Hydro Grip primer, but the size/pricing difference is stressing me out. The mini is around £18 for 10ml, while the full size is about £35 for 45ml, which feels way better value. But at the same time, I’m scared I’ll buy the big one and then realise it pills on my skin or makes me greasy. If you have use it, how long does the 10ml mini actually last? Is it enough to properly test it out, or should I just go for the full size straight away?
Part of me feels like the temporary nature of street art is what makes pieces like this hit harder in the first place. The abandoned farmhouse setting made the whole thing feel unsettling even before it disappeared.
The Too Faced Born This Way Sculpting Concealer genuinely lasts ages and the coverage is so good for dark circles, but I feel like I’m constantly cleaning around the cap 😭 Tried so many concealers lately but I always end up coming back to this one. Tiny amount goes a long way. Does anyone have another concealer they love just as much, or do you always end up returning to one favourite too?

Just found this photo of the Ancient House when it was still a bookshop. It looks so different in the snow. It’s wild to think it's been around since the 15th century. We really do have some amazing history right on our doorstep. Does anyone know if much of the original interior is still left now?

Saw the news about River Island closing 30+ branches and it made me wonder if the Walthamstow one could end up affected too. Between that and some of the empty units in 17&Central already, parts of the high street are starting to feel a bit bleak lately. If more big chains do disappear, what would you actually want replacing them? Personally I’d rather see more independent shops and fewer betting stores.
Didn’t expect to see one this close while walking around earlier.Does anyone know if there seem to be more around this spring or have they always been this common there?
With the ongoing shortages affecting some epilepsy meds lately, I was wondering how people are managing patients who can’t safely switch brands. What’s usually the process in your pharmacy when the wholesaler has no stock but the prescription is specifically marked as no substitution? Are people contacting prescribers straight away, checking independents, owing scripts, etc? Feels like these shortages are becoming more common recently.
It’s great that these were a joint project between the local community and the students at Walthamstow School for Girls. They really brighten up the walk toward the Village and the William Morris Gallery. Does anyone know if there are more of these planned around E17?
I’m planning on spending some time at the Wetlands today since the weather isn’t too bad. I usually just do a quick loop, but I’m looking to head further out towards the Marshes or maybe walk up towards Tottenham Lock. Does anyone have a favorite route that stays away from the main crowds? Also, is the coffee at the Engine House still decent?
This song is my favt, doesn’t matter how many times I hear it, it never gets old. Oasis just had that mix of melody and attitude that made them stand out in the 90s. What’s your go-to Oasis track?
I’ve seen a lot of these PCN roles lately, and while they sound great on paper, I’m curious what they’re actually like day-to-day. For anyone who moved over from community or hospital, is the work-life balance really better, or is it just a different kind of busy once you're in it? Do you feel like you’re actually using your clinical skills, or does it eventually just turn into a mountain of admin and paperwork?
Who else randomly starts singing this? 😂
Toast with jam, tea, and Gromit reading the paper, honestly peak comfort. Anyone else feel like this is the perfect morning?🥰
Managed to grab this quick photo, the rainbow against that pink sky was unreal😍 Walthamstow looking lovely as always.
I’ve been watching back their old live sets and this one is incredible. Jarvis has so much presence on stage, it’s wild to think this was before they really blew up with Different Class.I'd love to know if anyone here saw them around this time!
I put on Boom last night and it’s just such a tight, tense 45 minutes. Having the Doctor stuck on a landmine for the whole episode was a genius move to show off Ncuti’s range. The dialogue is classic Moffat.It also made me appreciate Varada Sethu more, especially seeing her earlier appearance now. Is this the episode you'd show someone who's new to the 15th Doctor?
