No longer posting here. Find me @timeonfeet where the sky is blue.

@UkStarlings @Natures_Voice @BBCSpringwatch Great, thank you!

[Sam Pyrah (was Murphy) @SamMurphyRuns]

There are still a few good people on here who haven't yet gone to where the sky is blue, so I keep popping back. It's nicer over there though @AndyLane27 @sweatscience @Ekkekakis @PaulTonkinson

Hello @Keir_Starmer I hope you’re having a good start to Christmas . I didn’t know who else to write to so I’m hoping you can help . Please make some calls & get this poor woman out of prison for Christmas . This doesn’t reflect well on the UK . Thanks #loveactually Please RT

I wrote this piece for today's Guardian, on whether physical activity guidelines are 'fit' for mental health gains. Free to read on Guardian website.

@phoeb0 Great piece Phoebe, really interesting - and balanced.

Less and less engagement on here (apart from a steady flow of new followers, none of whom have a bio, nor have ever posted; many who appear scantily clad). I'm having more fun at @timeonfeet.bsky.social

I've just published my second piece on Substack and I would love some people to read it! #naturewriting #placewriting #runchat

[Sam Pyrah (was Murphy) @SamMurphyRuns]

@DaveGoulson Me too. It’s hard to stomach starting again but staying here is also unpalatable!

Clear night, northern light in the Cairngorms.

@ttyEngland @LittleStourOrch @B_Strawbridge The fieldfares have arrived! There were already lots of redwings but I hadn't heard that chack-a-chack of the fieldfare until this morning...

[Sam Pyrah (was Murphy) @SamMurphyRuns]

@LittleStourOrch @B_Strawbridge And an incredible year for rowan berries up here in the Cairngorms.

@kerriandrewsuk Hi Kerri, I've signed up. Thanks for your useful email response.

[Sam Pyrah (was Murphy) @SamMurphyRuns]

@scotlit @bwpublishing @LindaJCracknell Beautiful covers. I only heard of Jessie Kesson through @LindaJCracknell's Doubling Back. Keen to read these!

I think best when I'm on my feet. My new Substack explores how movement (and sometimes, stillness) is a way of deepening our connection to the environments we move through - and knowing ourselves better. Join me as I find my feet in the Cairngorms. #ukrunchat #nature

WHY do we allow multinational-owned super trawlers to extract all the wildlife from our waters? What’s in it for us? It’s legalised ecocide. Get them out.

Autumn splendour is what’s happening in the #Cairngorms - I can’t quite believe I live here…
