I loved getting the opportunity to play my flute again with the amazing flute choir Flutes and Co for their Christmas concert (even though I only had 1 rehearsal)
I had forgotten how much I enjoy playing with others. I'm looking forward to joining them next term!

A lovely afternoon yesterday visiting the beautiful Rookhow. This meeting house was built in 1725 in a beautiful oak woodland. Groups can stay in the cosy bunkbarn or yurt on site. I really recommend a visit!

Really enjoyed winter at Seizergh Castle @nationaltrust.bsky.social The house was beautifully decorated and the grounds felt really atmospheric with the lights, sculptures and music. I hope they do it again next year, felt like it was a great success.

Looking forward to joining the Seeds for Action session this morning with Museum Dev. Getting my head back into sustainability at the museum.
The museum made great progress this year getting listed building consent and installing an air source heat pump in the café.
But what can we do next ...?
