Been reading a memoir from Greenham Common this morning and it's only making me even more excited about reading the new novel from @eanstruther.bsky.social Fallout, coming to your shelves next year. Check out the trailer! #nukesky

Wanted to share this unbroadcast clip from my film of the inimitable Pete Wilkinson discussing (in trademark style 😄) how @greenpeace.org founder David McTaggart plucked this 'ornery sonofabitch' from a Somerset post office to help start @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social in the late 1970s. RIP Pete 🕊
