Automatic translation across Twitter is amazing . Some may tell us we are opposite of each other, that ‘others’ hate us and we must hate them in return. The truth is so different. We all love deeply - our families, our pets, our homes, nature, music, books, gardens, dance, tea, coffee… and that is what unites us. Love. I’m reading wonderful, ordinary stories from around the world about everyday things: a favourite meal, a cup of tea in a garden, a beautiful old, beloved dog, a grandmother’s plate - in a post written in the author’s own words. I can answer them as if we shared a common language and, suddenly, the world is smaller. Communication - real communication about the things that matter - is a wonderful thing. Forget borders, markets, oil, weapons and just ask someone (in another country, speaking another language, whom you have been told is your enemy) what their favourite food is. It’s liberating. With a sweep of a translation app borders are down and kindness, acceptance and friendship is in. Hello world! It’s so lovely to meet you all.

Lovely, thank you

Oh how I wish 💔

This is my son Oliver, these are our woods 🤗

For all my dear Twitter pals who cannot get outdoors today, come on a walk alongside the River Wensum. A storm is coming in and the trees dance to the sound of the wind, the birds are singing and the reed quietly hisses in the background. Happy Easter my friends.

This evening, as I listen to the wind howl around the farmhouse, the fire crackling away the sheep will be seeking shelter from #stormdave they have the shelter of the barn to escape if they wish from the inclement weather. Bracken & Houdini under darkening skies a few days ago

"I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds." - Mary Oliver It's easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed by the world right now. I want to watch the news like I watched Doctor Who when I was a child, from behind a cushion. I can't change any of it or stop any of it. The only thing I can do is retreat to where the blackbirds sing, where the morning dew sparkles in the lanes, and breathe it all in, live in this immediacy, here, now. Nature comforts. 📍 Peak District, England

So lovely to see a spread of Primroses this afternoon. Such cheerful little flowers.

Woodland wildflowers appear in their thousands just as soon as people stop walking on their homes

I had a loved one in my family choose MAiD when he was in the last months of painful bladder cancer. I see a lot of people on this platform calling it immoral. The only immoral thing I see is making people suffer. MAiD allows people the choice die on their own terms with dignity.

I finally did it, I picked up the backpack of someone taking up two seats on a standing room only train, handed it to them and said “you can hold this so someone can sit, thank you.” A woman immediately sat. I will absolutely keep doing this
