Very strangely the 10 trade unions calling on the government not to approve the Rosebank oil field are getting a lot less coverage today than the one trade union calling on the government to green light more fossil fuel projects. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537337...

Once again retirement flats are in the news with the Financial Times stating they can be a 'miserable investment' (see 🧵) This was the experience of an Essex investment.

Retirement flats offer community and ease, but rising service charges, exit fees, and depreciation could make them a risky investment

This has gone a bit viral, which is always appreciated, but I still struggle to understand the impulse so many people have to take someone's point and explain it back to them, but less succinctly Do you, like, honestly believe I'd not understood the original post? That I wrote? With my own brain?

This was taken the end of 2025 but I haven't got round to making any prints until now (the season approaches!). So if you fancy a closer look at this natural marvel without spending an hour floundering about in the sea in February, you can pop into my gallery on the beach and see it on the wall.

Thanks for highlighting 😊 In other thoughts, regarding the construction and purpose of causeways, is there any research that includes evidence from all such sites in the country? I’m thinking of at least 2 sites nearby here at Beccles, Suffolk 👍 @markknight63.bsky.social @mattpope.bsky.social

Around 3,500 years ago, people at Flag Fen faced a changing climate and an increasingly wet landscape. Their response? A monumental timber causeway across the marsh. Now environmental change threatens the evidence they left behind.
