Also well done to @dudleymarianna.bsky.social on Electric Wind, a phenomenal work of public history with great lessons for our times, and nice to meet @noreenmasud.bsky.social whose book A Flat Place was very much a benchmark for Drifting North to try and reach.
Thankyou to everyone who came to the climate and energy discussion at Bristol Bookhaus today. My voice had started to go so it’s onto the ginger tea and night nurse.
