@danny_robins @danny_robins just listened to this week’s super creepy episode of #Uncanny … couldn’t help thinking that the devil is sometimes known as Old Harry! Let’s change the theme tune to “I know who you are”🎶

@WMNP_Lab @BCUPressOffice @BCU_MALA @myBCUresearch @wlandscapearch @KathrynMoore @designmusemoore @IFLA_President @RobinCEDaniels @5andracosta @westmidsparks @WestMids_CA Kongjian's approach to #water, #ClimateCrisis and #ClimateAction is fascinating... he designs urban #landscapes to act as sponges which help control #flooding - and in the process, creates beautiful parks for people to enjoy.

This Wednesday evening online, I’ll be talking of how, each month, nature works on a different aspect of our wellbeing and gifts us insights. I’ll take you through the whole wheel of the year and how to see ourselves through nature if we choose.

@formerplymouth @LeShuttle We arrived about 5 hours early. They offered us an earlier time for about £175 which we declined. In the end the stewards were asking people waiting in their cars in the car park to go ahead and board regardless of their scheduled crossing. We were on a train within 90mins.

[Alex Albans @AlexAlbans]

Happy to report a very smooth journey to Folkestone from the Midlands via the M25 and M20 to @LeShuttle. No queues to check-in either. They even put us on an earlier crossing because we had allowed extra time for the expected delays and arrived a few hours early. Woop.
