The headline news is obviously Labour's victory, but also important is the pathetic showing by racist, fascist, scum Britain First who couldn't even beat joke candidate Count Binface.

Fucking brilliant. London rejects the scum.

I am at a heritage railway today in Loughborough, so I thought it important to stick with tradition and photograph the station clock.

Another one suggested by Misty15 - and can be interpreted in so many ways.

Glass
by Robert Francis

Words of a poem should be glass
But glass so simple-subtle its shape
Is nothing but the shape of what it holds.

A glass spun for itself is empty,
Brittle, at best Venetian trinket.
Embossed glass hides the poem of its absence.

Words should be looked through, should be windows.
The best word were invisible.
The poem is the thing the poet thinks.

If the impossible were not,
And if the glass, only the glass,
Could be removed, the poem would remain.

" The eating of Sage in the month of May, with butter, Parsley and some salt, is commendable to the body: as also Sage-ale made with it is good for teeming women, such as are subject to miscarry through the too much moisture or slipperiness of their wombs.

At all time be sure you wash your sage, for fear that toads (who come to it to relieve themselves being overcharged with poison) should leave some of their venom on the leaves, the danger thereof is on record: therefore it is good to plant some Rue among your sage and then they will not come near it."
c 1657.

"In May be no sluggard, for the bed is unwholesome. Clarified whey this month is a most sovereign drink, and sage is an excellent breakfast. Young lettuce is an approved salad, but the entrails or offal of beasts should by all means be refused: neither go wetshod in the dew in the mornings."
c 1639
