Máret Ánne Sara - Sámi artist from a reindeer herding family in Sápmi. Wonderfully evocative, sensory, with story telling about the connection between Sámi and the reindeer. Tate Modern

Nature connection - it felt good to be in this woody glade, with beautiful snow drops, the rooks high above exploring the rookery, and squorking away to each other, oblivious to my chopping wood below in the baker tent. A few hours well spent in a woodland flow 💚💙💜

The Sacrifice of the Danes After September 11, Denmark fought alongside its ally. The families of fallen soldiers have a message for Trump.

Trump’s coup in Venezuela didn’t just break the rules – it showed there aren’t any. We’ll all regret that | Nesrine Malik It’s not just the triumphalism in the White House. Leaders loth to oppose this gangsterism must think how that looks to Putin, Xi and in the UAE, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

“Lying low and hoping that this too shall pass is cowardice, denial and historical illiteracy” - spot on from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social

Only a few tickets left for Cambridge gig at the end of this month.

THE MAKING OF A RENOWNED EXPLORER: Mr. Croc recalls his early years...

"Yet in truth, there was always something a little different about me. I seemed to need a little more... well, ADVENTURE."

(Your cheery sandwich wrapper of the day to help you on your way.👍🏼😃)

Oh, yes, as I eat cheese on toast with salami for lunch, no not just one piece 😂

Dancing Flames - it sure is nice in the woods, those flames flickering around the kettle, whisps of smoke swirling around, the sunlight shining through between branches, slowing down to feel the calmness in the woods, the refreshing breeze, taking it all in, life is good in the woods.

Choose wisely...

Make Life Memorable - it's lovely to be back in the woods, it's good for the mind and soul; warmth of the fire, a brew, leaves dancing in the sunshine, the sounds of birds seeking out a meal, and the fresh breeze blows the worries away. Yes it's good to be in the woods. Wishing you well 💚

A beautiful, broken America: what I learned on a 2,800-mile bus ride from Detroit to LA Gone are the small, clean, cheap motels and public spaces where anyone can find a place to nurse a cup of coffee. Yet the camaraderie of the Greyhound is hanging on

A little taster of my book to come...

Simply inspired to paint - a friend's beautiful photograph provided that inspiration to splash some colour on the page...

Painting in the woods - just a little part of enjoying time in nature with friends 💚

Absolutely - feral goats on the island of Thassos in Greece ate a nightmare, they destroy / munch through so much of the natural environment. Feral goats can't be hunted on Thassos. They are out of control and a disaster for the environment.

Cool - hope those talks go well and they enjoy your storytelling 😎

Exciting - where is your next presentation going to be?

Poll showing labour and greens neck and neck.

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

If you're left leaning and haven't really considered the Green party before, there's some serious momentum behind them right now. They could actually make a difference. I became a member about a year ago.

Think about it, at least
