Most people want a fairer society, a working democracy, a protected planet. So why split the vote and let the far-right in to destroy it all? Sign the @compassoffice.bsky.social open letter urging progressive leaders to cooperate at the next election: actionnetwork.org/forms/unite-...

‪I couldn't make it to #London today for the #TogetherAlliance so I and others in my community held a counter protest against a far right march in our town. It was a particularly nasty one today, but we stood our ground. NO to #Racism #StandUpToRacism #Together #Unity

Good news! Access to nature and especially national parks should belong to everyone in this country not just those who can afford to purchase it. #wildcamping #camping #nature #nationalparks #RightToRoam #UK news.sky.com/story/public...

Public does have right to wild camp on Dartmoor, Supreme Court rules

Dartmoor became the only place in England where wild camping is allowed without permission from landowners in 1985.

Boggle Hole and Robin's Hood Bay, North York Moors National Park. Besides being an old smugglers cove it is rich in fossils especially ammonites. I found none as the tide was coming in so my time was limited. Beautiful and well worth a second future visit. #NorthEast #NorthYorkshire #BoggleHole

View from the beach inland to the path down to the beach and the old boat ramp on the left with the three story Boggle Hole Youth Hostel in the distance between the tree lined cliffs rising up either side. The hostel is painted dark brown and blends in nicely to the surroundings. There is a sandy beach in the foreground with pools of water here and there.

Shale cliffs with a small bank of seagrass at the base to the left and centre and further cliffs in the distance to the right. There are pools of water and sand in the foreground.

View out towards the North Sea. There are rock pools and sand bars some covered in sea grass. The tide is still out but just starting to come in and you can see small waves on the water as it rolls towards shore. The sky is absolutely clear no clouds at all.

View across Robin's Hood Bay with shale and grass covered cliffs rising in the background to the right and the North Sea in the background to the left. In the foreground are sandbanks with pools of water and little currents of ocean water as the tide is beginning to come. In the middle distance and across the view from left to right are rock pools and more sand banks with seagrass. There are very few clouds low above the cliff on the right in the distance otherwise the sky is bright blue, growing lighter as it meets the sea.

The walk to Boggle Hole, North York Moors National Park. Boggles, a type of hobgoblin were said to live in the caves along the coast. People believed the Boggles could cure sickness & would bring their sick children to the caves for healing #NorthEast #NorthYorkshire #NorthYorkMoor

A narrow road or pathway leading through a tree lined woodland. The trees cast shadows on the path.

A narrow road with an old wooden fence to the right and trees either side of the road.

Used by vans and boats to unload their booty

An old boat ramp leading to the sea with the bottom of a cliff to the right. The tide is just coming in so there is partial beach at the moment. The boat ramp is made of old bricks and old timbers.

I was fortunate to visit Durham Cathedral while the Peace Doves artwork was on display. Made of thousands of paper doves many created by children and each inscribed with a message of peace, love, friendship or hope. The artwork was illuminated and set to music. #Durham #NorthofEngland #cathedral

View from a distance of the Peace Dove artwork. Thousands of white paper doves threaded on white strings and hanging from the Cathedral in Durham above the Nave illuminated with pink light. Layers of stone arches either side of the artwork and the Nave has open floor to ceiling stone arches on all 4 sides. The artwork hangs in the middle.

View closer to the artwork. Thousands of white paper doves hanging from the Cathedral in Durham above the Nave illuminated with pink light. You can see stained glass windows in the distance and stone arches going up behind the artwork all the way to the ceiling.

View from beneath the illuminated Peace Doves artwork, looking up at thousands of paper doves all the way to the top.

After watching Kemi Badenoch's spectacular calling out by the Business and Trade Secretary in Parliament I wonder how she can possibly remain in her position. We all look forward to clarity on the supposed deal she did or as the case may be DID NOT do with Jingye and at what cost. 🧐

I planted 5 dwarf apple trees on M27 rootstock in Johnnie Walker half barrels. Not a drinker but they smelled glorious when drilling holes in the bottom 😊🍎 #gardening #containergardening #selfsufficient #apples #whisky

Bardon Mill, Northumberland near Hexham where Errington Reay Pottery is made has firmly landed on my list of favourite places to visit. Bardon Mill is the last commercial pottery in Britain that produces salt glaze pots. I ❤️'d everything but settled for 2 handmade pots. 🥰🪴 #northumberland

Lady's Well at Holystone Wood, Northumberland National Park northeast England.

The pool of water at Lady's Well, Holystone Wood, Northumberland National Park, England. There is a walkway leading up to the pool of water which has grass and trees either side. There is a stone cross in the center of the pool of water.

The stone cross in the middle of the pool of water at Lady's Well, Holystone Wood, Northumberland National Park, England. The stone and trees behind are reflected in the water.

A white metal sign hanging on a wooden slated fence. The sign has a small green oak branch with acorns and written in black letters in all caps is as follows.
The National Trust
Lady's Well
This holy well was once a watering place beside the Roman road from Bremenium in Redesdale to the coast. It was walled round and given it's present shape either in Roman or Mediaeval times. Saint Ninian, the fifth century apostle of the border is associated with the site and with other wells beside Roman roads in Northumberland. The name "Lady's Well" came into use after the first half of the 12th. Century when Holystone became the home of a priory of Augustinian Canonesses dedicated to St. Mary the virgin. The well was repaired and adorned with a cross, and the statue was brought from Alnwick, in the 18th. and 19th. centuries.

Today I woke up with several dozen layers of anxiety re: current world events. It's hard to know how to help beyond liking posts, following accounts etc. I absolutely reject the term doomscrolling in regards to the current situation.
