I can confirm after my lunchtime walk- winter is here. Spot the black squirrel, or écureuil noir / schwarzes eichhörnchen if you will!

Somers town, London. Community wall, stuff like this is always worth stopping and reading, even on a rainy winter London day.

Pegsdon Hills, just down the road nr. Hitchin. Autumn time 🍂

Lincoln is rather nice. Shame about the recent shift to Reform. St. George flags all over the city's surrounding neighbourhoods. 1215 Magna Carta and 1217 Charter of the Forest saved for rainy tomorrow.

Planning for transport infrastructure isn't the problem. Getting the funding out of the Treasury looks more difficult than ever. www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/indus...

Dublin and its environs 🇮🇪

Brexit can’t break every bond. 🌍🎶 Triorca Youth Orchestra are young musicians from Norwich and its twin cities in Novi Sad, Koblenz and now Rouen. Last month they turned twinning into music, friendship and a stunning Rouen cathedral concert. 🎻 Read the story ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Sad graphs on the squeezing of outdoor play and school playtimes in England. Maybe rather than showing Adolescence in schools we could improve play facilities for young people? on.ft.com/4cx4Rm2

I cannot state this strongly enough: If you are upset about the way this government is treating trans people and immigrants, and you have a Labour MP, for God sake write to them.

Let's see how BlueSky holds up to #eurovision trends, chats and mem3s...litmus test time...

15 years old, but still completely relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we could be creating today would be a LOT better and easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Hello bsky. First blue-sky post is yesterday's winter sun on campus. Apt. Hoping to rebuild my cosy twitter bubble here as best as I can. 🙏
