Love Glen Affric. Remember a sign next to a tree saying when it was young bears and wolves roamed free :-)
Music, dance, and love is the best protest 😍

International eyes needed on Ecuador rn, where an organised assault on constitutional integrity, land- & water-defenders, the rights of nature & Indigenous rights is currently in full swing, as directed by the newly elected president Noboa.
Excellent piece here:

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part
Lived gatley for a long time and walked it a lot from Stockport to Sale. Really nice
People who are ok see through it. People who are not, want change.
Hard to talk ill of the dead. Has family so will keep my thoughts to myself. Not a good legacy though :-(
I know. Sometimes back to basics works and just forget the noise. If only that simple! World is in a mad place I feel :-(
How do you control a narrative with social media. So many people with power basically telling lies to divide. Also fins it exhausting but I guess that's what they want.
Brought up surrounded by hippies. Its not just music but how you view the world. Punks were just angry hippies as nothing had changed :-)
Europe has history in this game :-)
At some point Europe will need to stand up to Russia. All games at the minute but will happen. Who thought we would be at war again. Trump thinks Europe will buckle but has history in tis game. Sad but inevitable

Russia has lost. Can't win on its own against Ukraine. Everyone knows they are weak. Owes a lot to other countries. Hawks will be circling. Good luck with your borders, Russia.
I live in UK and still landowners from days of Henry 8th collecting ground rent. Its not new. France got it right, but still the people who go into politics are of a certain mindset. Need to get youth to aspire to power and rule differently. No easy answer :-(
Orange Gibbon missed the ball. Must be a blip as won so many tournaments 😂. Idiot
Don't think about the ideology. Think about the nutcases. Always there :-)
If we went through history I am sure this has been going on for thousands of years. Decent minded people get in power, think its gone,, then comes back. Going forward we need to fight the right always. In power or not.
Used to go there a lot. Canoeing on river is fun. Nice walks as well
Never heard them before. Amazing. Going in X
