@adamliaw It just tastes much better.

It seems that @Waitrose has stopped selling non-homogenised semi-skimmed milk. It was the only place I could get it. Lost my custom now.

I'm working on an #altered #sketchbook , a woodland scene, pen and ink, layers and papercut. Every page has an illustration, fronts and backs.

I’ve just sent a postcard to my MP asking them to pressure Rishi Sunak to stop blocking necessary green investment and support #GreenHomes.

Will you contact your MP too? Just click here to choose a postcard https://t.co/GmMwg8I2rk

Just read Lyrebird by @Meredith__Clark, a beautifully written and crafted memoir. I do think that poets sometimes write the best non-fiction.

[Alexi Francis @AlexiFrancis]

@QualiaBird Thank you Roselle! That little book we did together was great - I hope you're well :)

Every little helps but @Tesco is doing nothing to stop forest fires in Brazil. Enough ‘targets’ and PR. 

So if you eat meat stop buying it from forest destroyers and stop fuelling forest fires - now! #TescosBurningSecret

Very pleased to have a piece on @tweetbytheriver :)

@JohnSan74367140 @tweetbytheriver Thanks John, although I've read The Rings of Saturn - I didn't remember Covehithe mentioned - I'll look it up and the film by John Piper.

Very pleased to have my piece, A Walk at Covehithe on @tweetbytheriver https://t.co/adbIsuqZpS

@ZakiyaMedia @wildernessflash Thank you!

[Alexi Francis @AlexiFrancis]

@ZakiyaMedia @wildernessflash @BBCRadio4 I'd love to hear this, but it says it's not available any longer on BBC Sounds. Is there anywhere else I can hear it? Thank you.

We MUST #StopHS2 now. 24yrs ago, this was happening in road protests & we thought we’d not see the like of it again. This, in these times, with the scientific knowledge we have, is disastrous. Not all ‘sustainable’ transport is good. The loss of wildlife & habitat is catastrophic

[Alexi Francis @AlexiFrancis]

I'm currently reading and really enjoying 'Dark Skies' by @tfrancisbaker . "..The aurora is a wild, uncontrollable light in the dark....Blues and greens, ... burnt pinks and oranges of grapefruit zest and coral, the violet of aubergines and mallow flowers."

[Alexi Francis @AlexiFrancis]

@tanyashadrick @rcaskie1 That's great, I'll look forward to reading your book! I've stayed in that little hut myself, lovely place :)

[Alexi Francis @AlexiFrancis]

Listen to the people living in the Amazon, it's their home! I've signed the global petition to #StopBrazilsGenocide and #ActForTheAmazon. Will you? #AmazonFires https://t.co/VnAGEZ7SCG via @Survival

@tanyashadrick Your story is inspiring, it's wonderful how things grow. I'm so glad it has led somewhere amazing. Thank you for sharing.
