What a treat to have a personal tour around @HarewoodHouse gardens with Head Gardener Trevor - so many fascinating stories! If you get the chance, definitely book onto one of his regular tours. Here's the peaceful Himalayan Garden and a classic view across the lake.
Yesterday I was lucky to join the Storm at Harewood walk, led by the brilliant Heritage Corner. They managed to convey so much about Black British history; it was entertaining, mindful and heartbreaking. https://t.co/4b4wqX3lx1
Imagine, for a moment, if the antisocial behaviour carried out in the name of football was carried out in the name of BLM or Extinction Rebellion or a vigil for a murdered woman and the hypocrisy becomes clear.
Time to share some news - I'll be leaving @JorvikViking at the end of the month to join @HarewoodHouse, looking after their membership and marketing their exciting, forward-thinking programme (and hanging out with these guys). Can't wait!
Any recommendations for gardening for beginners Instagram accounts? Especially those for non-green fingered, time-poor, impatient plant killers (asking for a friend)
@LittleVikingsUK She's off to a lovely nursery so feel good about that - though can already see that drop off/pick up/commute will take military precision!
Back to work in 2.5 weeks! Any tips for returning after parental leave? I feel like society expects parents to just jump back in, full steam ahead. I'd *like* to do that but it's obviously going to be hard - and we don't really talk about that do we?
