Dipping back in here after a looooong break. Partly to say I’m travelling with @LNER today and wanted to shout out to the professionalism of their people on what must be a very sad and difficult day to be at work for them

Brilliant this was funded in full via @CFTyneWearNland from the unparalleled generosity of NE donors and philanthropists, and those no longer here with a passion for giving back.

It’s a year since the deliberate felling of the Sycamore Gap tree.

I still feel its loss when I walk that section of Hadrian’s Wall or see an image of it under the Northern Lights. It meant so much to so many.

But our great north community won’t forget. I can’t wait to visit the exhibition at @TheSillNland and hear where it’s Sycamore saplings land.

The tree was iconic, but it’s the connection between people and nature that will prevail.

Thank you @nationaltrust, @NlandNP and all this sharing ideas of how to keep this wonderful landmark alive.
