I’ve just been looking through some old b+w film photos I took a while back, before being seduced with the immediacy of digital. I really should start using film again.

Was told I needed brighter clothing whilst cycling today. I pointed out I have five reflective items facing back on the bike.
“They didn’t shine in my headlights”
Maybe because it’s 9am and altho cloudy still bright enough to see for miles.
“But you *did* see me!” was my reply.

Still available. If you don't want Forest Green I also have one in Traildust White although it has a few more miles (less than 50) on it. Same price. It's in my profile pic. We don't need the two so either one can go.
Whichever one goes it will come with original saddle and standard bag.

FOR SALE - the OH has decided to sell his electric G Line. He has the small Forest Green one and he has been out on it once for less than two miles. Ongoing problems with his knee force an end to any cycling ambitions for the foreseeable.
£3000 no offers, it is mint condition

Oxford is to get a congestion charge of £5 per car per day, starting this autumn. Charges will be levied for driving past one of six camera sites. The decision, intended to accelerate bus services and encourage cycling/walking, was taken at an Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting this morning.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.
Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.
Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?

This photo of Cissbury hillfort dig © Sussex Archaeological Society is one of our favourite because:
a) it's from 1875
b) it has a scale and a broom in it
c) it shows a key stratigraphic relationship (Iron Age ditch cuts Neolithic flint mine)
d) there's a man in a pith helmet

The needle shaped menhir of La Pierre Longue de Sale Village in St-Georges-des-Sept-Voies (Maine-et-Loire) is 5.5m tall. In one tradition it was Gargantua’s whetstone which he lost when he bent over to empty sand from his boots. #StandingStoneSunday.
