There’s so much on social media about planting trees and not enough about how we need wood/timber products. Remember to thank a forester every time you wipe your bum.

@PaMemorial @jeelyeater1 @perthacademy @PAS1FrenchTrip Ha! Must share with Max! Happy days!

[Dr Nicky Small @nmsmall14]

@OpPsychologist @giuliaevolvi Songs for me too! @SongPlaid is my creative part, mixing our research with music, we do sessions but explain the history behind the songs as well as being inspired by scots noblewomens letter and work of Lady Nairne, Violet Jacob. Lovely way to do History!

[Dr Nicky Small @nmsmall14]

Great article @C_GRitchie really hope Balloon Tytler makes it as a movie!
