Since my walk on the Cleveland Way in August I’ve been more active on Twitter. I have found some fun things, often with a serious intention like conservation with @Spokesbird or @LostWombats, from Australia. There are accounts I follow about British Wildlife, a keen interest of mine since childhood, and climate change.
Feminism has been my lifeblood since puberty so it’s been good to follow @Dangerouswomenproject.org as well as particular women like @JoanneChocolat and my former research supervisor, Dorothy Bishop (who always fed the body and the mind).

I follow a number of different voluntary organisations: For example, Scope I used to work for, but also UNICEF who we have supported at school.
People of faith of many different paths are kindly following @silcoateschapel, a small corner of dissenting Christianity in Yorkshire.
All this has helped me to feel more connected again after a period of feeling isolated as a result of the recent review process by my local Synod.
One of the most recent examples of this sense of new connection had come through joining the Finnish churches movement Bellsforaleppo.org.
Since the beginning of term, now 7 weeks ago, we have been thinking about the people of Syria, particularly children in besieged cities and towns and in refugee camps. The young people have many questions and lot of compassion so ringing our small bell in solidarity with people in Aleppo was quickly taken up.
We have now been ringing for a few days and many conversations have also followed from this involvement. We also have a lot more followers on Twitter and from many different places. We must remain focused on our aim of supporting Aleppo through our prayers and actions. But another challenge is I need to learn Finnish.

In our life and our believing
The love of God
