Really enjoyed my visit to the Castle Park Energy Centre (a huge water-source heat pump on the harbourside) with @bristolcityleap.bsky.social. The plan is that this will be the first of many in Bristol, as part of Bristol's low carbon heat network.

The innovations coming out of the electrification of transport are not only exciting and inventive, they can make a real, tangible difference to our world. Check out the Vessev VS9. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oun1...

I'm overtired from dealing with 9 snowfalls in 16 days and feel like little kids do when they're rosy-cheeked, a bit cranky and in need of a nap. Snuggling in with the cats now, to dream of pepper-scented fields of lupine and the gentle warmth of a sunny June morning. 🌱 Rest well, friends.

🌱 "I think I ca n, I think I can!" Echinacea hybrid "Pretty Parasols", seeds from my own plants. I believe the variety is a hybrid of E. pallida and E. purpurea. I don't know if they'll come true from seed, but I really like the variety, so it's worth a try.

#WeAreAllZoey has achieved a new level of Velcro-ness that I am calling “cantilever booty”. Her behind is literally floating in space but she will *not* give up the snuggle. She is the Fallingwater of dogs (well, her roof doesn’t leak). #GardenDogs #ACDLife #Dedication #DogsOfBluesky #ValentinesDay

Happy #bloomscrolling More from the archive until spring more here #gardening 🙂 🌱

For valentines, here’s a snowdrop with heart-shaped markings. Galanthus elwesii ‘Fred’s Giant’, growing at Cruickshank Botanic Garden (Aberdeen) was discovered in the 70’s by Fred Sutherland who was then head gardener. It’s a real big beauty 🤩 🌱

🌱 As it’s snowy with blustery winds outside I needed some colour to look forward to! Look at those jaunty striped petunias 😍 #flowers #bloomscrolling

Well deserved Doechii. Congrats

Great to visit the Atmospheric Chemistry Research Group at @UoBChemistry this morning and hear about their internationally important work monitoring emissions. They tested me on my memory of some equations I haven’t used in a few years!

Really enjoyed recording a podcast with the brilliant Adam Chapman, aka 'The Heat Geek.' I learned so much listening to him, he's passionate, realistic and incredibly knowedgable. He knows heat pumps work and he knows the genuine benefits of living with them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dpq...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
