Did you know that Woop Woop is another term for #scrubland . What a word !

[Sarah Botfield @SBotfield]

@nationaltrust @NTLyveden Thank you- I will do that

[Sarah Botfield @SBotfield]

@nationaltrust @NTLyveden Visited Saturday. Access changed. Non-powered wheelchair not viable up a steep hill. No access to drive and be dropped off. Surely grounds people have access? Motorised scooter was offered but for personal reasons I cannot use that. Poor show :(

@Jim_Leary Reminds me of Richard Long's art work - A Line Made By Walking. Summer and corn, what and barley fields reminds me also of childhood having high tea in the field during harvesting. Love the picture Jim

@WALKTHEMOONband I love music. First heard it in May and am hooked. Can I pre-order the vinyl anniversary edition? I am in UK

[Sarah Botfield @SBotfield]

@Pottedhistory @HistEnvScot Yay to Grooved Ware (although I may be biased!)

[Sarah Botfield @SBotfield]

@Jim_Leary That is fantastic. Beautiful wood

@TheChloeDuck Making PLANS for Nigel - new wave song by XTC. They were giving Nigel a helping hand to draw his plans so he would be happy :D

@sarahrbockmeyer Sorry to hear this Sarah. It is always my worry too. I had to have a PCR test yesterday. Love to you both xx
