Not a single question regarding accessibility. It feels like you don’t actually want to know. I hope someone is reading and noting my tweets. Which I shouldn’t to make, but then it is York after all. #takingthedis My feedback is simple. Make every sculpture equally accessible.

One of the most common excuses for the poor state of our rivers is that the @environmentagency don’t have the budget. There is a willing army of people chomping at the bit to help them clean our rivers if only they would ask. Over the past few years, we have tended to plaster

When the weather fairs up (and it will) when it’s spring (it’s coming) everyone (me too) needs to take a deep breath, go out and drink a beer, spend some time with proper mates and family and less time on social media because it is becoming harmful to our collective mental health

Brown #Hares from the local patch, from earlier this week whilst the sun shone. I’m curious about the discharge, there’s a whole host of viruses threatening them at the moment but ask if anyone has verifiable evidence of Conjunctivitis in U.K. #Brownhares Mammal Society

Delighted that my hare photo ‘breakfast meeting’ made the final 4 of both this weeks #fsprintmonday and #sharemondays2024 competitions. So here it is together with a tighter crop and two more from the same session. Thankyou to all involved #brownhare

Two close encounters. Working in the garden after tea, bent over & looking down with head about 4 ft from the ground only to see a sparrow hawk fly under my nose in pursuit of a blackbird! Then walking to the polling station I saw a barn owl and called it in to within 20 feet.

Last nights #NorthernLights from near York U.K. even managed to capture the setting moon too…. I think I pointed the camera in every direction except North. #NorthernLightsuk #AuroraBorealis #StormHour
