I don't often see squid washed ashore on the North #Northumberland coast, especially when they finish up in Annstead Burn so far back from the sea. The weird aftermath of storm Babet is still playing out.

Proud to have written this for @GrittyTalent on How, and Why wildlife television lacks diversity, from accessibility, queerness and racial diversity...we NEED to change this, but it needs a LOT of dissecting and some uncomfortable conversations... grittytalent.tv/blog/we-need…

I was diagnosed with coeliac when I was 12. I was short, skinny, ate like crazy but never put on weight, always had stomach ache.
So many symptoms are not gut-related - anxiety, fatigue, anaemia, migraines, recurrent miscarriage. If in doubt, CHECK IT OUT. #coeliacawarenessweek
