Today might be a good time to tell you of my new blog Stone Diaries, detailing my thoughts during field trips to ancient sites. Entries are being updated with details of myths and pubs for each site, so do join me on my travels 🙂 stonediaries2.wordpress.com #StandingStoneSunday

A happy Spring Equinox to you! #SpringEquinox

After 15 years as a listener, I now find myself playing an active role with the station as a volunteer and learning new skills. I’ll always remember the first time I heard Resonance and how my enthusiasm for it grew throughout the years… 🧵/11 fundraiser.resonance.fm #radio

With a week to go on @ResonanceFM’s February 2026 fundraiser event, here’s my personal perspective and journey with the radio station, and why I believe it’s worth listening to and supporting. A thread… 🧵/1 fundraiser.resonance.fm #radio
