Thoroughly loved our recent trip to Rotterdam, Delft and Efteling! Fantastic places to visit, and so much fun round the theme park at Efteling.
Efteling bosrijk lake with castle for the ducks in the centre, low light. Surrounded by trees.

#eclipse photo from yesterday. Taken on my phone through solar eclipse glasses. Many thanks to the person in the park who gave us their glasses as they were off to the pub!
Trees in silhouette at the base of the photo, and a small sliver of red sun in the sky, and a bit of moon in front.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

I'm not a spokesperson, but I can give my personal opinion. More renewables are generally a good thing and something I would usually be supportive of, though it's obviously important to look at detailed plans for any project. What would you think about it?

Hope is a starting point. It's why I'm also a member of our local Green Party and get involved in helping out where I can. I've also helped to write the Green Party policy for heritage and tourism, as I agree that solid evidence based policy is vital too.

It's taken Labour nearly two years to scrap the two child benefit cap keeping 500,000 children in poverty. Reform and Tory MPs plan to vote against it. Ending the scandal of child poverty harming 1/3rd of children demands more action- including free school meals for all.
Which Parties Support Lifting Two Child Benefit Cap?
Greens- YES
Reform UK- NOPE
Labour- 2 YEARS TOO LATE
Conservatives-- NOPE

A new report shows the US’s super-rich are burning through carbon emissions at 4,000 times the speed of the world’s poorest 10%. Some would have you believe climate action has to cost you money. They're lying. Tax the polluters. Tax the super-rich.

A statement in support of our colleagues in National Trust properties and conservation studios around the country. #conservation #culturalheritage #heritage #objectconservation #conservator #textileconservation #textileconservator #objectsconservation #nationaltrust @jimchesh.bsky.social
Beige text against a burnt orange background reads: As individuals and a team, the academic and technical staff within the University of Lincoln's department of Conservation are shocked and saddened to learn of the redundancies taking place within National Trust conservation studios and properties.  The National Trust has been a sector leader in the care and conservation of our shared cultural heritage for generations, and a beacon to which our students look for inspiration, guidance, and experience. We are concerned for what the cuts may mean for emerging professionals and the conservation sector, but we send our heartfelt thanks to each and every National Trust colleague - past and present - who has supported us in our educational and research aims over the years. We are standing with you in solidarity, as one conservation community. October 2025.
