- I’m deciding on the range of face pulling I need to do when accosted by flat Earthers. That’s right. They still exist! We found one in our garden the other day. The poor thing. We gave it flea and worm treatment and sent it on its way… 😵💫
- Working on a VFX project using the fastest PC and the most powerful GPU on the market. The project I'm working on is making it chug like the PC I had in the year 2000. It will be worth it. Big things coming soon ;)
- If you fancy coming along to one of my shows, especially in February. You had better hurry! Both Shrewsbury and Woking dates are almost sold out and the rest of 2026 is selling fast. Come and have a fantastic night out with me. 😀 Book here: www.nightskyshow.co.uk
- Just been out in a biblical rainstorm. It was amazing. The light, the sounds and the sensory overload really floats my boat. If it keeps on raining like this, I’ll definitely need one. I love days like these. Storms are such organic and incredible things 😊
- More stargazing stuff coming soon. It's in the oven and needs a little while longer before serving. I promise it will be delicious! 😉
- The one thing I've noticed over my years on social media is: When someone decides to tell you they are unfollowing you, it always sounds like it's being said by a 14 year old. Unfollowing is fine, just do it. The people you are unfollowing usually don't know who you are 😂 😂 🤣
- I LOVE SCOTLAND AND SCOTTISHNESS! I love the country and the people, but unfortunately I missed Burns night yesterday. So, I'm having my neeps and Tatties with a wee dram today :)🏴
- Meanwhile in the deepest darkest parts of my secret lair... I'm busy making things. Things that will blow your mind. Tickle your fancy and fill you with awe! I've just finished one of these things and when I look at it, it makes me all tingly inside :)
- You don't follow me for political stuff, but sometimes things need to be said. I really don't want my country being run by a bunch of cheating fascist racists, who will eventually bring the country to it's knees. Please sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
- Another RSPB #BigGardenBirdWatch complete and a very successful one for a change. Loads of birds. Missing some old favourites which were replaced with some birds I haven’t seen since I was a child. A wonderful thing to do 😄 Www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch
