He didn’t set out to come to the UK, he says – he wanted to stay in Sudan and become a doctor – but that wasn’t possible, and he left to save his life. Making this journey is how he survived. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I recently learned about Russian painter Ivan Aivazosky and I may never recover. I don't think I've ever seen water done like he does it. I don't think I've ever felt an artist loved water as much as I feel he must have. It's so incredible I could vomit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Ai...

Dover Bronze Age boat. Excavated in September 1992, the boat it thought to date to 1575–1520 BCE, which may make it one of the oldest substantially intact boats in the world. The boat was constructed using oak planks sewn together with yew lashings.

Wild is a remarkable exhibition and worth a visit. The RAMM team even shipped a bison all the way from Manchester for it (it was easier than getting our bison out of its case!). My favourite exhibit is the beautiful wolf though. #museums #Exeter

The Māori word for #autism is takiwatanga, ‘in their own time and space’ I for one think it’s lovely to describe the condition I can relate to this as I find focusing on one thing at a time works better for me.

Happy World Turtle Day! 🌊 Have you ever seen a turtle skull? This is the skull of a loggerhead turtle, the world's largest hard-shelled turtle. The lower jaw bone is missing. Sea turtle skulls vary depending upon their diet, but all have the same basic bone pattern. All sea turtles are toothless.

This popped up on my timeline and I had to share. It's Scarborough beach on 1st Jun 2021. There was a sea fret but people were determinedtohave fun. #photography #beach #Yorkshire #donkeys
