Hi @pottscans , I was very excited to discover your plastic-free sauces in my local @LidlGB and cycled home to make my tea. Unfortunately, when I opened the can it exploded in my face. Thankfully my glasses saved my eyes but the kitchen ceiling will need a repaint! Known issue?

I've finally moved properly to the other place 🦋 where you can find me and the bots can't (for now). It's much nicer over there. I'll leave you with a bit of @matthalsalljazz to say goodbye. It was nice while it lasted, Twitter.

This week @the_DARe_Hub hosted a workshop co-organised with @JonahCycles and @SustransNorth, exploring the role of data in planning and managing active travel networks in the North East. Great to have @NorthEast_CA and @activetraveleng in the room too!

It is always nice to be reminded of an album that you haven't listened to in years and find it's just as good as it ever was. I think I bought this on CD when I lived in Groningen and I am still amazed that Hem were never more well known. Lovely stuff.

Just when I was thinking "please, no more Christmas songs", @cerysmatthews comes along to point me to all of all the good stuff. 'O Helga Natt' by Gjermund Larsen Trio was a particular joy, and then there is of course this beauty from Nine Simone. Thanks!
