Hebden Bridge Town Hall getting ready for our Freedom to Roam conf on Sat week. 25 years since the last access legislation, time for a new Act! @righttoroam.bsky.social @ramblers.org.uk @openspacessociety.bsky.social @philbrickellmp.bsky.social @andymacnaemp.bsky.social @guyshrubsole.bsky.social

Celebrate the news! Not only can I not name our local (local?!?) Police & Crime Commissioner, but when the first PCC election was held the vote was won by “Spoiled ballots papers”. This shouldn’t have taken so long. What comes next had better be better.

Actual. Good. News. stageylady.wordpress.com/2025/11/11/v...

Because I am an idiot I decided to photograph all the (visible from the street) Georgian doorways of Liverpool's Rodney Street with a 60 year-old Olympus FT camera. Turns out the half frame format of the camera goes well with the shape of the doors. #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

🥾 Celebrate 60 years of the Pennine Way by joining @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social, @anitasethi.bsky.social & myself at Todmorden Book Festival on 9th November. We’ll be discussing what this remarkable trail means to use & reading extracts from our books. todmordenbookfestival.co.uk/whats-on/

Our books are distributed by Cordee if bookshops are struggling to find our stock. But you can also order direct from us, with free p&p, and we have a fantastic range of outdoors titles gritstonecoop.co.uk

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Looking forward very much to hosting this symposium at our Ambleside campus tomorrow. We have a fantastic line up of speakers including Dr David Cooper as keynote and a number of our MA graduates who are giving papers 📚🍃 #LiteraryLandscapes

Fabulous review of a fantastic show at @tbtlake.bsky.social Theatre by the Lake in Keswick. The highest standards at a great regional theatre stageylady.wordpress.com/2025/09/26/t...

Points out the facts, not the right wing racist lies.

On Saturday @drdavidcooper.bsky.social is keynote speaker for the 3rd Norman Nicholson symposium @cumbriauni.bsky.social Ambleside Campus. The theme this year will be Place, Space and Time in Norman Nicholson’s work. #AcademicSky #Poetry #LakeDistrict www.normannicholson.org

Authors should _never_ look in bookshops for their titles. That way lies despair. But my eye was nevertheless caught in @waterstones.bsky.social in #York by my latest book peeping out at me. Books by my @gritstonebooks.bsky.social colleagues also on the shelves. Nil desperandum.

Belatedly watching Mahler 5 at the Proms, Klaus Makela/Concertgebouw Orchestra, the most astonishingly wonderful performance of the greatest piece of music ever written. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

There are 'flags' flying all along the main road in New Earswick, York, historic model village founded by Quaker philanthropist Joseph Rowntree whose lifelong principles were of inclusivity + kindness. It's bringing shame on the community now. I've asked parish council if we might add these 👇
