@Complicite @SomersetHouse @sashamdavies @RailtonLucy @DanceUmbrellaUK I feel so overwhelming proud & privileged to have been 1 of 200 women taking part in this amazing body of movement. I've been moved to my very core & will miss us all performing as 1. I've absolutely loved every second of every minute of it all! 💘 😊

Sir David Attenborough is right: London is full of natural wonder. We’re bringing back beavers, bees and bats across London - and now, through our Green Roots Fund, we're supporting the first white stork colony in six centuries 🦅 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Almost perfect, heart shaped echinoid. Perhaps 100 million years old.

The holidays arrive wrapped in contradictions—they overflow with togetherness yet amplify isolation, burst with laughter yet echo with silence for those facing empty chairs and quiet phones. For every table crowded with family, there's someone eating alone. For every home glowing with gathered warmth, there's another where the decorations mock the loneliness they're meant to brighten. This video is for them—for anyone who needs to feel less alone in their aloneness, to know that joy can still find them even when celebration feels like it belongs to everyone else. Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer is simply reminding someone that they're seen, that their solitude matters, and that light can reach even the loneliest corners of December. 🙏🏽 ❤️
