@TravWriters On the hunt for a writer with good recent knowledge of Spain's Basque country - Bilbao, San Sesbatian and the interior. 1500 word guide for Boundless magazine (print) for a Jan deadline. Please reply to THIS account (@danlinstead) with creds.
3/3 Yet another example of the embarrassingly poor transport infrastructure this city suffers. No wonder everyone drives, making an already polluting trip even worse @BristolAirport @darrenpjones
2/3 In Bristol I have to wait 45 minutes for the next ‘flyer’ bus which meanders through the city taking over 30 mins to the centre.
1/3 Just flown from Edinburgh (pop roughly 500k) to Bristol (pop roughly 500k). In Edinburgh I hopped on a super frequent, modern airport tram for £7.50 and was at the airport in minutes.
#journorequest Seeking an established personal finance journalist to turn around a short consumer piece on alternative investments (whisky, art) in 10 days. 50p a word. Anyone out there not maxed out writing about the budget / COL crisis?
@TimesRadio Madonna’s new look reminds me strongly of Cate Blanchett’s climactic makeover as Elizabeth 1 - an exercise in power projection on a historic level. Could the Like a Virgin singer be channeling the Virgin Queen?
@WoodlandTrust There are a number of these trees in the woods in North Bristol where I live, leaves yellowing and falling now. Are they elms and is this a sign of disease - or heat? Or normal? Thanks

My 17 yo spent all day at a UCAS event with 143 universities and this is the only bit of marketing he brought home. Carbon efficient and just plain… efficient. Hats off to @UniofNottingham #weareuon
Had a great evening last night at the always incredible @NHM_London for the launch of beautiful (and important) new photobook Fox by @AldridgePhoto @MattMaranPhoto @andyparkinsonp1. Be nice to foxes. Buy a copy of the book. Thanks.

Travel quiz. “Just occasionally you find yourself in an odd situation.” Great first line of which classic of adventure travel, 70 years old this year? (Have just read it for the first time.)
Nice latest issue of @Riverford magazine. Sustainability taken seriously, but not too seriously. Bravo @nina_pullman
Important - and really positive - new RSPB campaign to #reviveourworld. Takes 15 secs, please add your voice or get involved. Politicians WILL listen.
