And now we’ve all been sent to a hotel that has no rooms….. disgraceful.
Queuing here for an hour to be told there is no where for us

What a joke
Absolute chaos @emirates at Birmingham airport.
400 people waiting and no form of communication or plan….. we’ve been here for six hours!
First time doing @Southseaparkrun and absolutely bloody loved it!
(Mainly due to the lack of hills …. Not the pouring rain)
Congrats to the @parkrunUK team tor the 500th one here! 👏🏼🙂 – at Portsmouth, England
Species 58!! The stunning high brown fritillary - one of our most endangered butterflies, at Heddon Valley @NorthDevonNT @BCDevon 😲
