A little bit of googling whilst I sip my wine over looking this view resulted in this provence-alpes-cotedazur.com/en/things-to... Never heard of coexist before and a little bit suspicious now Tony seems to have landed key job in difficult peace settlement - maybe Cherie will be a good influence!

Coexist -Came across this water fountain on a walk in Cape Ferrat today If you look hard the C is a Muslim moon , the X is the Jewish star and the T is the Christian cross - a message that is never more needed in the world today

Moved to see @talkingmats being used in Jailed: Women in prison on Iplayer.Remember when it was unusual to have a SLT in prison - good that communication issues are being recognised- but the lack of support for those women as they come out is woeful, will sadly lead to revolving doors #mentalhealth

Moving celebration of Appeltree today at Scottish Parliament. Great to see Louis’ journey from trapped in a locked ward to flourishing in his new community. The culture of statutory services needs to shift dramatically for the 1000+ still locked away & denied their #humanrights #learningdisability

My beautiful mum’s jam pot doesn’t work on my new electric conductor top . Using it is a ritual that connects me to her . Think I might have to get the camping stove out that she bought when we moved to Kenya in 1967 . It’s rusty but still works #doubleconnection Will need a lot of gas !
