A beautiful morning at Widnes parkrun today, and really easy to get there by train! Happy 22nd birthday #parkrun.

A green lawn in the middle of a park with many trees and the parkrun sign for Widnes parkrun.

The duck pond at Victoria park in Widnes with a fountain in the middle and the sun peeking from behind the trees, under a beautiful blue morning sky.

If people want to drive to the hospital, or if they don't have an alternative, then they'll have to pay for parking, it's that simple. And perhaps pressure their local authorities to improve public transport.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
