Spent 10 days, in 2010, ice-bound in Beechy Island. Quite an amazing place packed with history. And the occasional polar bear
Only when I stumbled upon the memorial in BSE Abbey did I realise that 57 Jewish people were killed in Bury in 1190
And the NHS is working ever closer with this company, sharing sensitive data with them…
Annoyingly, it’s an *extravagant* £4.99 on my Kobo, that I prefer as an alternative to Amazon Kindle 😏
Very proud, as always, of @lizoriordan.bsky.social. Despite some major life events has still managed to get two books published. Newest one is The Cancer Roadmap. Pre-order here lnk.to/TheCancerRoa...
That is my usual Saturday routine Was pretty windy and rough overnight in the Irish Sea Also very delayed but worth it for this view, my favourite spot
Being from UK/Ireland, I’d never heard of Terry Fox. Then was sailing in the Arctic and we were ice bound at Beechy Island when the Canadian Coast Guard vessel Terry Fox came in. We were picked up and invited for lunch with the crew + Captain. Incredible privilege
Comes to something if even the Icelandic are impressed! We are very lucky Tonight’s show @lizoriordan.bsky.social not so keen on getting out of bed as can’t match last night
Last night we had a rainbow at sunset (I’ve never seen this before) followed by spectacular northern lights Helps that we’re in Finnish arctic
Should have added this photo of a cycle path. Don’t get me started on the separate issue of the concrete bollard
Was visiting my mum and obviously needed some quality fruit and veg. Had to take some photos of Newington Green shop
That’s a sweeping statement Declared CoI: my 83 year old mum has just moved into a lovely PassivHaus that she’s delighted with & which looks great. And my brother was the architect! 😏 Just received its certificate Would have made a very dull episode of Grand Designs as built on time & on budget
