Celebrating 72 years as our beloved Dartmoor National Park. Lets celebrate the natural beauty that is this wonderful place 💚

Let there be peace
So storms can go out to sea to be
Angry & return to me calm

Peer through his window & see Addis
So his thrilled outstretched arms become frames
For his dreams

Working on a modern version of Faust in which he promises to let his children die in a fiery arid wasteland in exchange for short term political gain.

After a summer of wildfire and floods, and records broken here in the UK, yesterday's announcement is barely fathomable. Future generations will ask why, after these stark signs, the government would put this country’s global leadership on climate change into reverse.

MP says it’s not government’s job to fix schools, whilst getting renovations on her office

Here is the current sentencing guideline starting points for simple possession of drugs. The proposal is that this stuff will be Class C. Cannabis is Class B. (In 13 years I have never seen *anyone* go to prison for simple possession of Cannabis as a sole offence).

We all did our homework on the last day of the summer holidays lads, but the Department for Education tweeting out reminders for the LETHAL CONCRETE QUESTIONNAIRE at 8:02pm the Sunday before term starts feels a bit dicey.

First nation to land on the south side of the moon! What a proud moment for all of us. No praise high enough for the brilliant minds at ISRO 👏🏽👏🏽🇮🇳 #Chandrayaan3

The people who took us over the moon could also be the most down to Earth people you'll see. And that's the beauty of Indian culture 🙏🏽 🇮🇳 #Chandrayaan3
