First time at Campfield #Manchester when the market is on. Excellent sound system adding to the relaxed vibe.

Christmas reads.
Harper Lee - short stories that I enjoyed, but mainly made me want to reread To Kill a Mockingbird.
Flesh by David Szalay - I read this really quickly, which is a good sign. It is a reflective and thought-provoking read that is often bleak / sad. #BookSky #Books 💙📚

Christmas reads.
Mick Herron and Richard Osman - good - just as you would expect.
The second Full Moon Coffee Shop - OK, but not as good as the first one.
Patricia Lockwood - Odd - still not sure what I read.

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
Think this pretty much sums up now.
William Shakespeare in 1600, a description of a distopian future better than Orwell or Bradbury?

Black-and-white view of Top Withens ruins on the Yorkshire moors, a lone tree beside stone walls, associated with Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.

Once again spoiled for choice after a few days in Pompei... So many wonderful floors, but one never gets bored. Well, this one is a little boar-ing

This is a Deer Park - according to the map... Wonder if anyone was confused?

Historic sign taken from Peak District trail
Volunteers say the sign has a rich history but is worth "next to nothing" in scrap value.

Round walk from Marsden across Marsden Moor and onto Standedge. Middle section all along the Penine Way. Low winter sun (often in shade) made it feel pretty cold. #Walking #PeakDistrict #Landscape

Simonside.
Maybe unfairly, I described this as the Mam Tor of the #Northumberland National Park.
A short round walk of about 6ish miles, with stunning views.
Looking forward to a Happy New Year '26.
