Morning all. For anyone interested in art or the #RSA #RoyalSocietyOfArts or local #history this is #WilliamShipley from my home town of #Maidstone #Kent I came across the post on FB and it grabbed my attention. He lived to a great age for those times too. Fascinating 🎨🖌️🖼️🖼️ thread..

we speak in undiscovered constellations. Our breath
is cloaked in granite dust,
our lips lifting above the shroud’

I'm so over this cold snap. Nearly slipped over crossing a bridge over the Medway in Maidstone this evening, because the pavement was covered in ice. No gritting at all. The government wants people to walk more or cycle, yet they only grit the roads. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Sunday 10 miles #running #maidstone

Got myself online and now time for #introduction.

Based in #Maidstone Kent, originally from #Scotland and go back when I can.

#Volunteer for the #Scouts, media , video, web, power kiting and rockets!. Great fun supporting some fantastic people.

Mum is in a home in the highlands with #dementia which is getting very hard, especially as she now struggles to facetime me so feeling very distant. Never written this down before 😞

If you are close let me know.
