My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
Really struck by how joyfully everyone in session two has spoken about collaborative placemaking projects for flood resilience and other benefits. Designers love to make a difference for communities #FloodResilience2024

In May, I took part in 'Parkwatch', a national 'citizen science' survey of teenage park facilities. Results are absolutely shocking: teenage girls are comprehensively designed-out of play & recreation spaces, & planning policy exacerbates this.

Absolutely delighted to have been gifted this stunning piece for a special birthday. I first saw Andy's work at the 3 Harbours Festival 7(I think) years ago and have been talking about it ever since. Turns out my wife @LesleyMakeNoise does listen to me 🤣
One of the many reasons we recently chose to move our rainbow family to Dunbar. Well done young people of Dunbar Grammar School.
We are starting the year on a high and carrying on the fabulous work of last year!
Hanging the newly signed ‘progress’ pride flag to signify the commit students and staff have made against discrimination within Dunbar. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ #RISE
Yikes
Sea levels have risen by around 16.5cm (6.5 ins) since 1990, but the Met Office says the rate of rise has doubled.

Sometimes there are no words that can adequately capture the emotion and significance of something as horrific as Bloody Sunday or important as the Good Friday Agreement. Liam Neeson does it with no words at all. Floored me. Peace in Northern Ireland MUST be protected #DerryGirls
Well that was emotional. "One day this (The Troubles) will be a ghost story that your wains won't believe."A worthy finale. #DerryGirls
Cool job alert
