I'm a #readingambassador for @Literacy_Trust and as it is #NationalStorytellingWeek it seems a good reason to remind everyone about my #childrensstory which is brilliant to read aloud and has places to add your own #MONSTERS #stories #readmeastory #GoAllIn

The most ancient of trees, the Yew symbolises #Saturn & death, but also the rebirth of light at the winter solstice. It is Old Magic, dark dreams, Otherworld journeys & connection to ancestors. It is perseverance leading to transformation. It is renewal. #FairyTaleTuesday

Even in winter, the wood calls out to be walked. Its paths tell your boots to ignore the mud. Its occulted roots whisper to your bones with promises of clearings you've never encountered before. The way into it is a seduction that makes even the oldest of us young again.

While you lovely, fantastic people helped to raise the money for #SkiddawForest back in October, there were still a few things to sort out before it was truly ours. But we can finally say...WE'VE BOUGHT A MOUNTAIN!

Jeremy Corbyn is suing Nigel Farage.
RT if you can’t wait to see Nigel Farage bankrupt
I found this talk wonderful - sad that the correspondence book had sold out but had to sneak round,booklets to say I enjoyed it. And I had been ##openwaterswimming- the room wasn't THAT cold!
Thank you so much to @kerriandrewsuk for tonight’s absolutely mesmerising Cultural Landscapes talk on Nan Shepherd and the power of walking. A really special event, during which we were immersed in Shepherd’s private and public writings on mountains and place 📚🍃@CNPPA_UoC

This is the lovely Jeremy Clarkson. He’s used his show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ to vilify Badgers as responsible for the spread of bTB and has shot all the Badgers on his farm
He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull..

"We put food on your table."
"Well, we teach your kids, look after you when you're sick, clean your streets, empty your bins, deliver your shopping and your mail and care for your parents. We pay our fair share. Why shouldn't you?"
