Hi there. I’ve started an instagram account to go with my new adventure training to be a Blue Badge tour guide for the Lake District and Cumbria. It’d be just lovely if you followed me over there. instagram.com/p/CQfpsV-MgP6/… #mrslakes

It’s a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas in Arnside. Thanks Elvis.

Christmas 2021. Santa is grounded because he didn’t get his second vaccine. The Elves are running booster clinics. And the stormtroopers think Rudolf looks suspiciously infected and give him a PCR Test. Merry Christmas everyone.
Cor. What a brilliant show. Head over to @hopemilltheatr1 for knockout singing, funky music, and dancing that’ll have you agog. It’s a belter and it’s on into January.
YHA Earl’s Court. A room to myself with two beds in central London. A warm welcome, ultra clean bathrooms and a loan of Uno. All for £36. And every visit helps support young people and their families to get a break. Can’t beat it. @YHAOfficial @YHALondonHostel
Great AGM for the YHA this morning. Very proud of the work this fantastic charity is doing.
At the AGM hearing from our youth advisory team, young #apprentices & #kickstart colleagues.
YHA leading the way on #youthvoice & introducing young people to careers in charity, hospitality and the outdoors.

Nothing quite so tempting as a fell pony auction. Thought my back garden might be a bit boring for her after the fells though.

Hello journalism leaders - or those who want to move into leadership. This is a fantastic course - which I teach on (!) - and there are scholarships available to cover fees. Apply quickly though.
Last week to apply for the @JILeaders PGCert or MA in Journalism innovation and leadership. Truly the best thing I've done this year and has transformed the way I think about the industry and my career, DM if you have questions! uclan.ac.uk/postgraduate/cou…

Great @YHAOfficial Board weekend - back face to face for the first time since February 2020 - rich discussions on planning for short term recovery and longer term growth - in the perfect setting of @YHAChester
Great cause and loads raised already. Well done Faye. Drop her a fiver if you can.
On Sunday, I’ll be thinking of my Uncle Gavin every step of the way as I run the Manchester marathon for @mndassoc Diagnosed 4 years ago, he’s only in his 50s and has so much more living to do. If you retweet anything today, please make it this one. justgiving.com/fundraising/m…
This is a great collection of stories about access to the outdoors and how being ‘outdoorsy’ isn’t necessarily about how many Wainwrights you’ve conquered. Well worth a read … and loads of the stories are from Cumbria!

Here’s the kidney transplant story of our @journalismuclan colleague Fiona and husband Mark. Raising awareness of the work the transplant team do even in a pandemic.
Huge thanks. And excellent work @CameramanST and @MsGillD making our garden look good.
For those who don’t know, about 10 days ago I had a kidney transplant. This was made possible by @lintonell donating one of his kidneys. He’s a bit of a hero really. We are now both back home. It’s early days but the kidney seems to be settling in. 1/2
Thanks for all the good wishes I’ve received. The support has been much appreciated. #kidneytransplant #kidney #renal #transplantuk #kidneymatters

Your reminder that we are recruiting for six new roles. I'm free for a chat about them if you are interested. We will likely start thinking about interviews very quickly, so don't mess about. It's a nice place to work. Thread below on what we are recruiting for...
