Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

The evidence for more 20mph zones ‡️

βœ”οΈ Cut deaths and serious injuries by 1/3
βœ”οΈ Protect children
βœ”οΈ Reduce crashes
βœ”οΈ Lower noise

Just back from a swell week in Orkney. Probably 3 seasons in one week! Sad to miss the Island Games but loved the history, the beaches and the Cathedral 😍

Christmas tree.

Still going strong!

I read that Imbolcβ€”a festival of light and renewal -is celebrated on February 1st or 2nd and it marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
