I’ve created this little graphic to post as my last ever post on #instagram. Before I do i thought I’d throw it out here first. Any thoughts or tweaks?

The post is based on a quote by @jaz.

Today’s walk with Goldilocks and the bear…

Photo 1: Ted asking us to hurry up.

2: One of us has hurried up.

3. The bear looks for the ball.

4. Although receding, the floods are still with us.

5. The egrets don’t mind.

6. In case you needed to know why I worship him, he can walk on water!

7. A flood line of blossom!

8. Close up of the blossom in flood line with a beetle pootling along.

9. So many dandelions for the bees to bathe in.

10. Detectorists in the distance.

Some pictures of the floods out on a walk today. We’ve had floods like this most years in my lifetime, but it’s usually just for a few days or a week once or sometimes twice per year. This flood has been here for over three months now. Totally unprecedented. #climatechange #floods (Everywhere the water is in the images is usually fields.)

I made a wreath for the #Christmas run in. Willow branches underneath and decorative flora all from the garden and surrounding countryside.

It was only last year, through blood, sweat and tears, that I managed to meet at first hand the incredible tree at Sycamore Gap all those years after having it indelibly painted in my consciousness when Robin Hood Prince of Thieves first came out. I’m devastated to learn that the iconic sycamore tree has been chainsawed down in an act of vandalism. 😫

As part of my commitment to being brave about sharing my creative output I’ve uploaded some sample songs from a demo EP (2008) and demo album (2014) to my #FunkWhale account. 👨‍🎤

You can have a listen at https://funkwhale.our-space.xyz/channels/secretdeal/episodes 🙉

The image shown is where I now make my new music - it’s one end of Ted’s bedroom. 🎹

When I can find some time to get some newer tracks to a presentable level I’ll get them posted on my Funkwhale profile too. 🐳

Governments around the world provided $7 trillion in subsidies to the #fossilfuel industry last year. Up nearly $2 trillion. 📈

That’s $13 million per minute or nearly $1000 per person per year. 💸

Serious about #ClimateChange? 🤷‍♂️

Do you give a shit? Vote the f*ckers out! 🤬

…All of that money goes to an industry that also recorded record profits in the same year and responded to those profits by slashing their #climate targets and cutting funding to their #cleanenergy programs.

Ted 🐾 had some top fun this weekend. We went to visit some of his best friends who live by the sea 🌊 so you can imagine just how excited he was the whole time! It was also his first ever trip on a train 🚞 and I was relieved that he was as good as gold. 😌 #dogsofthefediverse

One of the most powerful steps you can take to help combat #climatechange is switch energy supplier to one who GENUINELY provides 100% #renewable electricity.

Only 3 UK providers actually add sufficient renewable energy to the grid. #Ecotricity is one.

A year ago today my good friend Paddy and I landed in the fog on the Tyne having cycled the breadth of the UK raising money and awareness for the Campaign Against #ClimateChange.

Top research on #ethical #dogfood by @ethicalconsumer: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/shopping-guide/ethical-dog-food

Ted, Ralph (both two years old) & Bob (14) eat #Yarrah #Organic & #Vegan dog food (sometimes supplemented by my home cooked food - also organic & vegan) as have all the other dogs in my life, all of whom lived long and happy lives.

From the article:

In terms of nutrients, the UK’s Pet Food Manufacturers Association endorses nutritionally complete vegan diets for dogs, and says that “nutrients that were previously only available from animal-based ingredients can now be made synthetically or be sourced from novel ingredients”.

There are a variety of ways to fulfil nutritional requirements from different sources, and the nutritional guidelines for dog food nutrition from FEDIAF (the European Pet Food Industry) are seen as a gold standard.

We spent a day in #HayOnWye before coming back to the lovely garden we were staying in, giving me more opportunity to work out the camera.
