It’s the knocked over sign for me… and of course, literally no crowds - says it all really. I personally have lost a bit of hope in the CoPs but it’ll be interesting to see if Australia and the Pacific nations are the hosts of 31, it’d help ramp up pressure on our lacking government.

Thank you so much @petallu.bsky.social I’m definitely happiest when I can get out into the field. Here I’m visiting a brilliant regenerative farmer who has drought proofed his property through clever farming techniques, and protects platypus habitat from livestock.

Phew! Would love to be connected if you can recommend anyone to follow? Thanks Tom.

In another life, I worked as a reporter and fill-in presenter at BBC World in London. I worked through the early days of the Covid pandemic which was a really wild, grim and unsettling time. Still, I loved this job and cherish the friendships forged in one of the world’s biggest newsrooms.
