We ❤️ our #solarsheep. Thanks to @JamesReaderFRF for getting this great video of sheep sheltering after the recent storms at Park Farm in Leicestershire, a 12.9MW solar farm our team developed in 2014.

"I know they will remember the experience for many years." Brilliant feedback from @PythonHill who were the first school to take part in our #education programme since we reopened with COVID precautions in place. We're so pleased you all enjoyed your visit & thank you!

Sir Antony Gormley came to see our Ice Age cave art last week, and was moved by the experience. Experience this 'precious place' for yourself. Come and visit us - book a cave tour to see the cave art, or just enjoy the magic of the gorge. #AntonyGormley creswell-crags.org.uk/visit/…

And we're closed, at the end of Day One! We'll have a staff debrief now, to see how it went for visitors & staff, to make sure everything is as good as it can be tomorrow. THANK YOU to everyone who visited today, listened to our staff & followed our signs. You've been brilliant.

Brilliant filming with @JamesReaderFRF on Monday. Look out for the video coming soon! It was great to get back in the caves too. We found these two having a sleep in there... We'll get them out before cave tours start again on 10th August!

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
