I’ve stopped using Twitter/X now (as of September 2023) in favour of writing here instead. But one of the things I enjoyed most at the site was the gentle world of #fingerpostfriday run by Hayley Howard. Here is an archive of my contributions to the trend, between May 2022 and August 2023, which also serves as a reminder, to me at least, of some of my many walks in that period and the joys of the British landscape.
