With @ResonanceFM on a summer break until September, comes the eerie period where live broadcasts cease and the ghosts of radio past seep through. On the airwaves between 4-10 August is an opportunity to revisit output from the @radiophrenia festival earlier this year #radio

Red brick, yellow brick, grey brick, home. Reading houses are renowned for distinctive brickwork. Did you know this is achieved by adding chalk during the brick-making process?. @Berks_IA_Group charts the history of brick-making in the town #rdg #rdguk

“The ground which a few months ago was boggy and squelched beneath our boots is now concrete-dry under flattened wisps of crisp yellow grass.”. Summer arrives in ‘The Naturalist Letters’ series from @danielandclara #MailArt

I support the proposal by @the_stone_club for a campaign promoting greater care of ancient sites. From careless littering to wilful damage, our access to land is at risk if we don’t look after it. Be respectful, enjoy your visit and allow others to do the same. #LeaveNoTrace

A chance to revisit television from 45 years ago with an episode of ‘Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World - The Riddle Of The Stones.’. Moodily shot, Gordon Honeycombe narrating with gravitas. And that theme tune? Chef’s kiss . #StandingStoneSunday
