Happy New Year to you all!

This will be a year I begin my journey exploring the stories of rock and how they connect us to each other. This is the oldest rocks in the UK. The Lewissian Gneiss at 2.7 billion years ago is metamorphosed from Granite that formed when the Earth was in its infancy.

Metamorphic rocks signal change and transformation. Change that brings forward new qualities that have often have unexpected results.
I hope your 2023 is filled with hope, happiness and positivity.

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Thank you for an amazing year - all your love, comments and support have meant so much to me.

In the NY I will be announcing some exciting news that will help me to bring my knowledge, expertise and passion for rocks to you, right into your hands in a few years! 🥳🥰

Have a wonderful holiday everyone x

A few weeks ago, I saw perfect ripples forming in the clear warm waters of the Red Sea. Last week I saw their geological equivalent at the @LapworthMuseum.

I touched the rock just to feel the warmth of the sun again, to feel the water lapping against my skin.

Happy #FossilFriday 😊

A HUGE day for me!
Today is when I begin to make my book proposal into a book 🥳

#TheWhispersofRock is an exploration of the secret stories of rock, how they connect us to each other and the world we live in. I will reframe how we engage with rocks around us and to see ourselves reflected in their stories. It will take 2 yrs to research & write. Exciting times ahead!

#introduction 😊
I am an Earth Scientist with a love for rocks, fossils & landforms. I pop up on TV as a rock & fossil expert. I am writing my 1st non fiction pop science book called The Whispers of Rock.

I am a woman of colour - proud of my South Asian heritage. I have been a single mum, but now have a wonderful blended family 🥰 I love fashion, make up, baking and running. I am a champion for EDI.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

Hoot! Toot! Did you think you didn't need to see a basket of baby owls (Owlets) today!? I was the same, how wrong I was.❤️😊 #HootToot #Toot #boost #OwlsofMastodon! Pic credit: Ekaterina Gakman.
Hi Mastodoning Mates. Any chance you could boost me a bit as I'm struggling to find folk I originally followed on the Twitter. Is that how this works? I'm ASD and find new systems like this and written-instructions a major headache and very confusing.
