I've been thinking of leaving Twitter (I still can't call it X) for some time. I've had a BlueSky and Mastodon account for 18 months and a large number of the people I know here are on one or both of those platforms. @NellytheWillow

I'm not going to close my Twitter account immediately, but I won't be posting or giving likes on here any more. Thanks to anyone who has given me follows, likes or reposts. After 15 years of Twitter I hope to see you on the other side.

Zennor Quoit - the exterior stones are believed to have been for resting dead bodies against for the flesh to be devoured by birds before burial. The chamber dates to between 2500 and 1500bce and is one of 8 remaining quoits on the W Penwith moors #Cornwall #StandingStoneSunday

Lanyon Quoit - originally dating to about 3000bce. After collapsing during a storm in 1815 it was reconstructed in 1824 when the uprights were shortened and squared off. It now has a different alignment, is shorter than the original and is missing one of the uprights.

This is the HQ of Avis Capital. It claims to be one of the largest companies in the UK, with Β£58bn in assets and 31% returns promised to investors. Except it's all a lie. Here's how regulatory failures are letting international fraudsters create massive fake UK companies.

The Longstone or Long Tom Cross stands on open moorland just under 1km SW of the Hurlers stone circles on Bodmin Moor. It is possibly a Christianised menhir and the wheel-head cross probably pre-dates the Norman conquest. #Cornwall #StandingStoneSunday
