Summer’s a great time to read. I’ve been diving into books that explore our connection to place and belonging.

Started with Is A River Alive? by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social beautiful and timely.

📸 Just saw a story about an amazing photo exhibition in Burnham-on-Sea — 140 years of local history on display: from Victorian beach days to 1953 coronation parties to long-lost railways.
