@StDavidsCardiff @charliebarley Almost no movement on level -1 either. People report having paid before 5pm & still waiting to join exit queue 😱

@joehunter I agree - it’s fab!

@JaneEFindlay @landscape717 @talklandscape @landscapecareer @BALI_Landscape @PlaceManagement @openspacessoc @ForestryComm @EnglishHeritage @nationaltrust @theroyalparks @natparksengland 30 years!
I remember the case being made for the Institute to recognise landscape architecture in this way. The #LIAwards have gone from strength to strength over this time as has the impressive range of work showcased 👏

@talklandscape @JaneEFindlay Congratulations, Carolin @landscape717!

@WNOtweet @theCentre Saw it this evening - wonderful visualisation & graphics, stage presentation so imaginative! And of course wonderful music & singing ❤️

@JaneEFindlay @WhichUK @talklandscape @The_SGD @The_RHS 😱having helpfully set out the environmental hazards of artificial grass (https://t.co/dqxF8SNRID), @WhichUK still go on to recommend the “best” kinds.
Surely the recommendation should be “Don’t do it!”!

@JaneEFindlay @jaynesvoice @talklandscape I agree, a fascinating listen. But doesn’t 2030 seem not very far away!

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]

@EmmaDabiri @BishopChalloner “Don’t touch my hair” certainly deepened my knowledge & I look at black women’s hairstyles with interest & appreciation now! I can see the work & loving care that has gone into this girl’s hair

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]

@JaneEFindlay @talklandscape Pleased to be able to join you virtually!

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]

@culturaltutor Fantastically interesting thread. I wonder if all the sites mentioned could be collated into one grand tour of grand fortifications!
I’ve walked the walls of Derry & Lucca - you get a very particular impression of the cities from them

Tim Harford’s programmes are really good explainers. Lots of other good stuff in the rest of the series too!

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]

Brilliant characterisation - and poetic!

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]

@Jem8239 @martin_mckee @ActionLewisham @TheManInSeat61 Was introduced to https://t.co/HHa6w6KJN3 just recently - what a treasure trove!
One thing is that, to get the bargains he mentions, you need to book a good bit in advance. But a wonderful resource for journey planning in any case

[Mary O'Connor @_Plassey]
