It's 75 years since our National Parks and National Landscapes were created. Today we announce new laws to boost their protections and increase access to the great outdoors. Read more: defraenvironment.blog.gov.uk/2024/12/16/75t…

Created alongside the NHS, National Parks were envisioned as a “people’s charter for the open air." On their 75th anniversary, England’s National Parks are calling on government to back our plan to become beacons for a sustainable future. Read more 👉 tinyurl.com/3kwncbae

@MsYellowHat I bet she doesn’t say lounge.

@sarahvanpelt Haha same!

@sarahvanpelt I don’t understand time at all, god help me if I ever cross the international dateline

@kateStrasdin @mfaboston Fully here for a Margot exhibition!

Adding to my fantasy Margot Leadbetter wardrobe, an exhibition that I have been dreaming of for years now, featuring all of the polyester chiffons that the #1970s can offer. If you are unsure, just search for The Good Life. Dress by John Nates for Jean Varon @mfaboston

@PaolaOeste @sarahvanpelt Apologies for butting in but I love saying hinny! I’m not an actual geordie, I sort of adopted it when I starting working in the city centre!

@sarahvanpelt I’ve had a big dinner and hot bath, I’m all set!

Well I definitely did the great north run - I’ve got a medal and everything - but I’ve not been given a result so no idea what my time was (v slow, that’s for sure!)! #GNR24

@Great_Run hi, I’ve just finished the great north run but no one was able to track me and I don’t have a finish time?

@sarahvanpelt Next level organisational skills

@MsYellowHat There must be a better way! Plus the amount of people reselling on here!

@MsYellowHat 5 hours in queue, selected seats, wouldn’t let me check out, booted me to back of queue.

My partner has just said ‘why can’t we go back to queuing outside the shop for a ticket like back in the day?’ To be fair, sat in a queue just to open the ticketmaster site does feel a bit like that. #Oasis25

@LizLongstonePR I’m not at all surprised!

@ali_bax It's my ringtone!

I did not know this was a thing @LizLongstonePR @GeorgeCaulkin

@Danny_McMoomins Yep, one time in Orlando we couldn’t get the sat nav working in the hire car and I got us to our hotel from memory by doing this beforehand!

Anyone else do a 'preview' drive on streetview before you go abroad? Airport to the hotel, every time. Don't care if it's hours of clicking. Like a mini holiday for dads in itself.

@Plum_of_Duff Ah really sorry to hear this, cancer is such a load of bollocks. Hope your doing ok under the circs

Goddamit. Mum has cancer for definite. Results came in today so GAH. We know it’s not operable and not curable so now we wait to find out what CAN be done for the old bird. Imagine never drinking more than a glass of wine a year and getting living cancer. Only my mum…

@sebschmoller @HCFEprincipal @bphillipsonMP Have never understood why the FE sector has been neglected over so many years - how will we ever fill our skills gaps if it continues? Colleges are the engine for societal change, serving young people from complex backgrounds and giving them purpose, we need this more than ever!
