We had such a special day National Trust NI Patterson’s Spade Mill today. I even managed to make a beautiful thing from a chunk of metal - with lots of help from James the amazing spade maker. #heritageskills #placesmatter

At this time of year, look out for swallows lining up on the telephone wires as if queuing up for their epic migration. It's feeding time before they journey 200 miles a day back to Southern Africa for winter! #EveryDayNature Buy Andy Beer's book: ow.ly/6KGT50GarXj

National Trust members please vote online for our Council. This so-called ‘war on wokeness’ is a serious issue. The Trust has served the nation for 126 years by unifying millions.

River rewiggling update (from The Lakes series) @salfordhydro says National Trust #rewiggling of #GoldrillBeck has been completed. It's no longer straight against the road - now it “wiggles” through the floodplain & trees and is a fantastically diverse river channel.

Brilliant couple of days showing Andy Beer around NorthDevonNT and NTArlington. #nature #history #beauty. The #nationaltrust is in safe hands with high calibre individuals like Andy in key positions. Super proud of all the team who hosted so fantastically 😍
