RT: @Martin_Abrams .@LambethLabour's Empty Homes Scandal

The Council is spending more than £100m per year to private landlords for Temporary Accommodation to house 4,500 people and families in Lambeth.

Meanwhile more than 600 Council Houses sit empty.

This is a scandalous waste of taxpayers

RT: @AllyFogg I keep telling you, you bump into the most interesting people on Stockport Road when the sun’s out.

A shell in the desert ~200 km from the Gulf of California. Shells from the Gulf were trade items for thousands of years across the Southwest. What is the story behind this one? Who dropped it after carrying so far. Was it missed?

I found it today on a desert aid water drop in the remote wilderness in S. AZ, where hundreds of migrants die each year.

On a previous hike, way out in the Growler Valley, I found a perfect, albeit weathered, cone shell.

People have migrated across this desert long before countries, borders, walls, imaginary lines in the sand. They leave trails, petroglyphs, shells, water bottles and, the ones who don't make it, their bones.

Happy World Book Day!

Enjoy your journeys!
