Dad. Husband. Dog wrangler. Planning Silk at Kings Chambers. Occasional punster. Living with bowel cancer, which I'm hoping will f*** off. Views are entirely my own, which should be pretty clear from the nonsense I spout 99% of the time.

🧵1 New followers: welcome! Lovely to see you all. Thought you ought to know that I have Stage 4 #bowelcancer. As well as posting dog & landscape pics and musings on #planninglaw I sometimes share my #cancer experiences. I haven't been that forthcoming recently as things have been tough.

Damn, I knew this guy was good but it's well worth watching and paying attention to @ishankolhatkar.com's sage advice. 👇🏽 Even seasoned (sage being a lovely seasoning) advocates should be able to set aside their curmudgeon sticks and learn a thing or two.

🚨 Planning x health 🚨 In our plan-led system there are many moments we can design-in things that can improve the health of communities. But too often we're not joining up these dots. These excellent research papers by Chang & Hobbs et al show that perfectly. Link: www.linkedin.com/posts/michae...

⚠️ This amazing new collection of aerial photos may cause you to lose a large chunk of your day looking for your Nana & Grandad ⚠️ 📷Considering that they were taken by a chap leaning out of a 1930s biplane, the quality of the pictures is astonishing. 📷 historicengland.org.uk/images-books...

#RecipeOfTheDay is a bit of a blast from the past: Gin and Tonic Jelly! I’m afraid those beautiful whitecurrants adorning it are impossible to find, now, in shops. They were rare enough when this photograph was taken, but no matter www.nigella.com/recipes/gin-...

This is so far from being the sort of jelly you'd expect at a children's party as can be imagined! The white currant decoration may be unavailable, but what matters is the drink-made-dessert itself! ...

Making space for play in Paris. Love it. Cities are as much for children as they are for adults. We must stop erasing space for them to learn and play, and must proactively create these. @alisonstenning.bsky.social thought you’d appreciate particularly.
