From our rivers to our SSIs we need @NaturalEngland to be able to do it’s job to protect and restore our landscapes rather than being undermined by those with vested interests.

#Earth starts tonight on BBC Two & first up is 'Inferno' , where I explore the worst mass extinction the planet has ever seen , when as much as 90% of all species died .
If you're inspired to learn more you can pre-order the accompanying book now at chrispackh.am/earth-book

‘We are damned fools’ says the scientist who sounded the climate alarm in the 80s . . . and now we are globally governed by reckless idiots fiddling with their profits as the earth burns . What will it take for us to wake up and act ? theguardian.com/environment/…
This is John Thomas, @ULASarchaeology Project Manager for Burrough iron age hill fort and also the recently discovered high status Roman villa in Rutland. This was an excellent guided tour of the hill fort before Covid. Let’s hope he’s the guide again this Friday at 2pm.
May 2023 aerial view of Burrough-on-the Hill. The village lies on the same ridge of stone that stretches across middle England all the way up from Gloucestershire. A prehistoric trackway runs along the top of it.
So my friends, I’m no longer an Artist Manager but remain something of a story teller. Stories from the past, present and tales of a possible future, all focussed around my beautiful East Leicestershire village, Burrough-on-the Hill. It’s the people that make the #timeandplace

First time I did #Delusions at @AttenboroughAC a woman reported that a strange man, who looked drunk and dishevelled, was hanging out in my exhibition.
It was, of course, me and that’s what I call being an artist in residence.

@Alan_Measles @Philippa_Perry Please check out tinyurl.com/2kz2exw7 @bethlemmuseum. As well as being a funny/troubling look at #bipolar, the piece is also an unflinching look at sectioning: one of society's last tabboos. Would love some tips about where to take it next!

We're lucky to have Feel Full Falafel selling delicious halloumi and falafel wraps outside the Museum today! Director Colin gives it 5*! Why not pop by, learn about the history of "Bedlam" & treat yourself to some jubilee weekend lunch!
This ‘watching from the edge’ book, full of acute observations and liminal artwork, is at its best when read by a small bedside light in the middle of the night.

This Saturday at 2 at @bethlemmuseum I’ll be chatting to my mum and @newartclub’s Pete Shenton about what it was like to support me when I was under section. We will, of course, be talking about how harrowing it was but also chatting about the funny batshit things I did. #bipolar
Congratulations @maximpetergriff A work of art in word and paint. Can’t wait to disappear into it.
