š„ A swimmable Thames in 10 years š„
If @SadiqKhan is re-elected Mayor of LDN 02/05, we can finally have a serious conversation about how to make the #Thames swimmable.
There are so many phases to achieving this that we need to start now.

šš¼āāļøMore lido-related good news: The Category A listed Tarlair Pool in Aberdeenshire (1929-31) has to be one of the most spectacular bathing spots in the British Isles.
After a decade long community campaign, in 2024 the Art Deco pavilion & cafe will be restored by @StudioOctopišš»

"I just don't take 'no' for an answer. The more people said that it wouldn't work, the more I wanted to make it happen. And look at us now."
An exciting year ahead for #Tarlair, with the cafe and pavilion to re-open after a decade of community action. buff.ly/3RZxmPB

exciting future ahead, securing a 99-year lease and working with @StudioOctopi.

On Monday we grabbed a few hours with @AgneseSanvito to photograph our extension to a Grade II Listed house in #Blackheath. Very lucky with the weather, felt like spring.
