Reflections on 8 Years in the Lakes | Winter As I head into my final few weeks working for the Lake District, it’s a strange time of reflection after all these years. The Lakes have always been a special place, but I’ve always adored winter here. It’s a quieter time when our

I have spent the evening scrolling through those people I have followed on Twitter over the years, a mixture of sadness and joy at memories of connection. But I am planning to move where there are no clouds, so look for me on there. I will be deleting my various T accounts soon.

Westmorland & Furness needs more housing as reported in @NWEMlive at https://t.co/WN7sknKhuU But the government is wrong to think it can be delivered by piggling with planning. Councils and Housing Associations must be empowered to build more affordable housing @libdems @aldc

Dear @AvantiWestCoast I am on the train that left Penrith at 17.03 heading to Euston. There is a drip of water coming down from the ceiling grid above Seat 42 on coach E. We suspect that it is from the air conditioning unit? Or is the rain getting through the carriage roof?

Now we are cranking Amazing how many people think endless short grazing is good grazing - it’s the exact opposite If you want deep roots, healthy soil, maximum nature, maximum photosynthesis and maximum soil health then you need the longest recoveries possible

If you ignore LOTS of signs from a landowner asking you not to camp, and then lug your camping gear up, you might find that you’ve got to descend those tricky steps straight away again after one of our team, or our partners, asks you to move on. Landowners understand their

Just look at how the rate of increase in life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.
