This Christmas has a very mid-January feel about it.

Currently waiting on four parcels to be delivered before heading down south for Christmas… all of which are with Hermes. Send prayers 🙏🏻

Just discovered brie and grape bagels while desperately trying to get rid of the last of the Xmas/New Year cheese board. What is the tastiest but most bizarre combo you’ve created while trying to use up festive foods?

I still haven’t had Covid. Slowly starting to feel like the final girl in a horror movie.

What jargon phrases are used in your work that you HATE? I'll go first... 'Public realm' 😡😒🙈

As part of our #COP26Legacy work, we are supporting hundreds of pupils across the National Park to plant trees in their school grounds. These mini woodlands will soak up carbon and connect wildlife within the Park. lochlomond-trossachs.org/park-authority…

1/2 Not sure you've got what it takes to stand as a candidate in our Local Board Member Elections? Board member Sarah Drummond is passionate that our board represents a diverse range of people, skills & experience to help restore & protect our National Park...that could be you!

📢📢Especially calling on women, disabled people, people of colour and other under-representated groups. Please consider standing. Our parks should work for all of us, which means that the board should be representative.💚🌲🦫🦋

National Park Rangers & partners shared vital water safety advice with more than 250 people at at Loch Lomond Shores on Saturday. That's more than 250 people who now know the potential dangers, and who can share that advice with friends & family. lochlomond-trossachs.org/plan-your-visi…

It's our birthday! 20 years ago today Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park became operational. From today until Sunday, 20 years on from our official opening day, we’ll be sharing our staff’s highlights & hopes for the next chapter of Scotland’s first National Park.

A very special moment in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs earlier today 🤍💍

Forgotten how to soundtrack my working day now that Christmas songs are no longer acceptable. Hit me with your WFH playlist/album recommendations...

An excellent time in Brum at the BLOCKCHAIN RECLAIM 🏆🏅 #Unawards Masterclass. It’s always fantastic to hear some of the best in the business share their creative magic as well as a healthy dose of strategic thinking. Heading back up north fizzing with ideas 💡✨

….And we’re back! It was wonderful to have everyone together in one place again for our first ‘normal’ Loch Lomond & The Trossachs 10:02 since Feb 2020.

Axl Rose singing a Velvet Revolver song is all kinds of wrong 😑 But always a pleasure to hear Slash rip #glastonbury2023

🧵 Despite being a National Park, nature is in real trouble here and we are losing nature at a scale never experienced before. Addressing this issue and restoring nature is one of three key themes within our Draft National Park Partnership Plan.

The way we live and work in the National Park is changing. Together we have the opportunity to create a vibrant green economy and a new way of living that helps communities in the National Park’s to flourish in harmony with nature and climate.
