Derek Lawton (1938-2022). My best friend & inspiration, who loved & supported me unconditionally & encouraged my interest in natural history. Put up with me bringing home assorted bugs, frog spawn, fossils & minerals. Proud to call you dad. RIP. ❤️ 💔

In case you fancied a couple of minutes pond side. SOUND ON!

I don't think many of my followers are seeing my posts anymore. 😔 The algorithm doesn't seem to promote photographers like it used to a few years ago.. If you see this tweet, of a Robin dropping from a berry laden branch, please can you let me know in the comments. 🙏🐦♥️

Our dear friend Frank sent us some funny things. Thanks, Frank! Much appreciated always, really! 😸 😻 #RockIsFun #RockOn #Cats #CatsOfX #CatsLovers #Cover #BlackSabbath #WarPigs #Music

@KELVINNODEN It looks like your post is a magnet for dodgy bot responses!

So what do you do? I film a metapopulation of rare, wild Newts that live in my garden, I sometimes add music and sometimes it makes people smile. As Hobbies go I appreciate it's pretty niche!

@TheBrewLady1 Brookfields doesn't ring a bell, but I spent many a happy hour in the toy shop that was on the corner of Burslem traffic lights. Trains & every model airplane the RAF put up against the Luftwaffe!

@CameraObscura Do you remember Brookfields Toy Shop? Bring it back 😃

I feel old. I'm trying to buy a present for my nephew. Everything is pre-order for months away, or out of stock, and bizarrely, invitation only! Looked at reviews, no idea what they're talking about 🤣 it's another world. Bring back the old toy shops please 🙏👵 Help meeeee lol.

@Satani__Cyanide Yup. Not a squeak

The best gig I've been to in ages tonight. Nine Inch Nails. An amazing production, and they played Perfect Drug, which made my night. #NIN
