Bigger is not always better…. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Who is driving the boom in cruise holidays? The older generation? That’s what I thought - but I was wrong. I loved writing this with the excellent @cleaskopeliti.bsky.social Thanks to all who spoke to us for it theguardian.com/environment/20…

He decided to become the sea’s protector…The first feature in our week long focus on the cruise ship industry. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@LJHall101 Thanks Laura!

@lisabachelor This is fantastic. I’m so glad someone is actually running this story, which is utterly relevant and timely. I don’t understand how people can’t see the impact that cruising has on the planet...

All week this week on Guardian Seascape we are going to be looking at the real cost of cruise ship holidays with a series of reports from around the world. We kicked off this morning with this news story theguardian.com/environment/20…

I put this supplement together for this weekend’s paper. It’s primarily about how to protect our coastline, with lots of ideas for projects to get involved in. But also best beaches as picked by people like @SteveBackshall and Michael Morpurgo

Remember this film? Here's what happened next...

It's 20 years tomorrow since the tragic death of the cocklepickers in Cumbria. @karenmcveigh1 spent some time up there to examine the lasting impact ‘It’s going to finish the village’: how Morecambe Bay’s tragedy changed cocklepickers’ lives for ever theguardian.com/environment/20…

@Moooknayak @karenmcveigh1 lisa.bachelor@theguardian.com please

@lisabachelor @karenmcveigh1 Congratulations Lisa :)) What is the best way to reach out to you for pitches?

Some exciting news for me for 2024. I move from the Observer's news desk to editing the Guardian's Seascape, all about the state of our oceans. I am working alongside excellent reporter @karenmcveigh1 but will also be looking for freelance contributions from around the world

@FelicityHannah @Moneybox @SarahRogersNews @JessQuayle Congratulations Felicity! This is great news. Good luck!

Some news that is both personal and professional. I am so incredibly happy to have been made the new permanent @Moneybox Live presenter. Working with its new producer @SarahRogersNews and fantastic editor @JessQuayle, I am really excited about the programme's direction

@stu_turton Congratulations! Just finished re reading Seven Deaths for the second time - for book club this time. Discussion Monday! As fabulous as I remembered it. Enjoy your new edition, special times.

I'd like to introduce the latest member of our crack marketing team. This is my daughter, Emilia Allegra Turton, who'll shortly - and shamelessly - be using her face to sell you my books. Please welcome her to the team everybody. She's trouble.

@HouseofHelpers you dispatched the item I ordered for Father’s Day two weeks ago and it has been stuck with the courier for 11 days. They say I need to ask you. You don’t reply to emails. Please could you help

@hansummers @freelancingfor @ptr_yeung Congratulations Hannah. Brilliant news!

Thrilled to win best specialist journalist in the inaugural Freelance Journalism Awards. Big thanks to @freelancingfor and all the judges and congrats to the other winners including @ptr_yeung who was commended in this category. You can read my submissions below. 👇
