‘These murders still live with me’: the show that goes inside Fred and Rose West’s ‘house of horrors’ https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/may/13/documentary-fred-and-rose-west-a-british-horror-story-dan-dewsbury-netflix #Television&radio #Gloucestershire #Documentary #Television #FactualTV #Culture

So we've had distant rumbling all afternoon here, but now that thunder is getting closer and much more obvious, and steady rain has just started.

After going progressively darker for the past hour, it's finally started raining quite heavily. No thunder yet though.

It's really quite stifling weather this afternoon. 22C under heavy cloud cover.

Either that or my end is coming.

This walk in the #Gloucestershire #Cotswolds takes you to Upper & Lower Slaughter, collectively ‘The Slaughters’, are quintessentially English villages & very pretty. Interesting buildings and a great pub! What’s not to like? Walking route from Naunton at https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/Cotswolds/Naunton%20to%20The%20Slaughters/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Naunton%20to%20The%20Slaughters.htm

Dammit. Gloucester was 1 seat short of being a Lib Dem strong hold. Never thought I'd be glad my little area voted for the Cons again, but good to see us surround by a sea of yellows and greens! #UKLocalElections #UKCouncilElections #UKElections #Gloucester #Gloucestershire #FuckReform

One of those heat-induced rain showers just started here.

No thunder.

Probably won't last very long either.

A picture of Gloucester from above, from the Cathedral all the way to the A38 on the east side of the city and beyond.

I think the Malvern Hills is in the background here.
