Sunny day, dry roads, no urgent deadlines… vroom vroom. A quick blast through two of my favourite dales.

The much missed Wilfie, who toddled off to moggie heaven a couple of weeks ago.

We have our first customer of the evening. #hedgehog

A beautiful evening for a stroll through a deserted Blea Moor. Nothing to disturb the birdsong.

Lots of hedgehog visits every night now. They’re eating me out of house and home.

A few photos from the fine city of Lincoln. Really enjoyed our time here.

Some ,ahem, experimental photos from this morning’s jaunt round Ingleton’s waterfalls trail.

Winter not quite over in the Dales.

Fraid not. I’ve been elsewhere today. Wish I had though. Those 37s look great in that livery.

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Thoroughly enjoying the audiobook of “With a Little Help from Their Friends”, but did you catch a horrible cold between narrating chapters 84 and 85? I thought there was a change of narrator!

Some day, the world might make sense again.

Perhaps my favourite bird photo of the hundreds/thousands I’ve taken.

The one small bird that we see in our garden all year round. Tough little things.

Cracking hike home from Ribblehead up and over Ingleborough. Nice views of the viaduct.

An evening stroll round my home village thanks to the skies suddenly clearing.

Superb. Such graceful birds.

Blink and you’ll miss it, but today was not a good day for one sparrow in our garden.

A bugbear of mine too. So easy to get right too. Just take the “… and” out of the sentence and it’s crystal clear what the right pronoun is.

Always a good day when it’s time to start a new @stuartmaconie.bsky.social audiobook. Especially with views like this to accompany.

Grand. I’ll look out for it.

A good illustration of how history books needn’t be dry and humourless. I’ll look out for more of your audiobooks.

@jonnelledge.bsky.social Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed “… 47 Borders”. Enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.

A fun day doing vintage Yorkshire in grim weather.

Yeah, basically a telescope with a camera mount. 200-600mm zoom.

You could say that!

Beautiful views across the bay and over to Ingleborough from Morecambe this afternoon.

An eider having a paddle in Morecambe Bay. Such nice colours on these birds.

HONK! This lad had a lot to say for himself. #goose

Nice to get together with this bunch. Rare to find so many JPN<->ENG translators in the same place.
