Happy birthday Sir 🎂 On a day we should be celebrating the greatest environmentalist of our time, the UK has shown it would rather support a party that has no environmental policies whatsoever ...🤔
Many people will recognise these Goddess figurines but how many know which one was found on the shores of the River Severn at Aust, South Gloucestershire? #riversevern #afonhafren #austgoddess #archaeology #sabrinariverfolk #sabrinagoddessoftheriversevern

Great to watch independent film, ' Jo in the Water' last night at @wshed.bsky.social, and to meet Jo Bateman herself and director Pip Piper. Lots of screenings around the UK, go and see it if you can. Together we are stronger 🌊🌀💦 #stopsewagepollution #jointhewater #surfersagainstsewage #riveraction
A huge privilege to meet Peter Hammond and Ashley Smith, the two gentlemen behind Channel Fours Dirty Business docuseries. Heros in my humble opinion 🫶🏻 @ashsmith43.bsky.social @petehammond.bsky.social
Yesterday, myself and Julia went to the Houses of Parliament to represent our organisation, Sacred Severn. We met with other water activist groups to put pressure on our MPs to act on the desperate situation with sewage in our rivers. It was wonderful to meet Fergal Sharkey 🌀🌊💧 #protectourrivers
Mistletoe on a willow tree. It is believed that the mistletoe takes on some of the qualities of its host tree. Always better seen in the winter when the deciduous trees are bare.
