A favourite memory from my Manchester days, observed as I was waiting to get on the bus one morning: Student: Do you go to the university? Bus driver: No, I'm a bus driver. 😆

One of my favourite photos of us 🥰from a wonderful evening at Jon's inns of court dinner at Middle Temple Hall. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was premiered in this very room on 2 February 1602! 🎭

We're 1,337 days into Wordle and my lovely Mum still gets close to reporting me as a missing person whenever I forget to send her my daily score.

I'm 39 next month. The final year of my thirties is underway. And I just want to make this clear: I've never been happier. I actually get happier with every year. Please don't fear getting older. It's a privilege denied to many.

Well, now we’re all a bit more fully here, I should really pin my Burger King menu post from the other place.

Seriously. No one on this earth has any business being a billionaire. No one. No one needs to be that rich.

Tree day #10. All trees have personalities but there's something about the Ash tree, it has a stoutness and presence unlike others. They've also long been associated with folklore and faeries - looking up at them it's not hard to see why #trees #treehugger #nature #dailytree #treephoto #selfcare

82% on my latest university assignment has got me feeling good – and very deserving of a break from the books and a trip to the local nature reserve this weekend 🥰 Might even take some photos, I've barely touched my camera so far this year.

I think it's really cute when people have to switch their phones to silent mode in theatre, or the cinema etc. No phone of mine has emitted a single sound since 2009.

I love to go to sleep. You can't sleep when you're dead. Better make the most of sleeping while you're still alive.

It's exactly 5 years this month since a pair of Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus) decided to nest on an amber traffic light in Leeds city centre. I'm still amazed that all 4 chicks successfully fledged, but nature is well 'ard 💪 #birds 🪶

Courtship feeding 🥹 A very special moment I shared between the lovely Robin (Erithacus rubecula) I befriended while going through cancer treatment & his partner. He introduced me to her during the breeding season & allowed me to witness such beautiful sights ❤️ I can't wait for Spring. #birds
