The river Tay meets the sea at Dundee. On the opposite bank to the south is Fife. This was home for a decade. I still miss living by the water, and the people who made us welcome. Doesn’t matter that we made #Northumberland home and fifteen years have sped by.

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵

Yes, this. We all get richer from a simple tax code, with well-designed taxes and the right incentives (for everyone) to work and not avoid tax. The UK tax system is one of the worst globally for this. There’s a clear set of recommendations on what to do (by Mirrlees, Nobel economist). From 2010!

Contra some terrible news coverage, IEA World Energy Outlook shows coal near peak, oil peaking by 2030 & gas by 2035 (see chart)

I miss that pond, the wagtails were regular visitors. Even used to see wrens fly fishing.
