Taking great photos from a speeding train is easy in Yorkshire. Some of my faves from my commutes and a day trip or two

Recently told my mum that I can't pick up her calls from 9am-5pm unless it is an emergency

So far this month her urgent calls have been to find out:
1. The name of a tune she had no lyrics, beat or melody for
2. How to become a tiktok influencer
3. What a twink is

Sorry to say we're closed today (Tuesday) 😔
Someone has bricked our window, robbed the cash drawer and, bizarrely, the Bluetooth speaker 🎶

All the books are safe! Turns out robbers dont read. If you wanna help out this struggling queer bookshop our website is still open

Merry bloody Christmas 😥

Some friends gave me a pin inspired by The Strawberry Thief, which in turn inspired this embroidery on an old dress

Shark fact: most great white sharks are actually mediocre, just extremely confident.

Baby's first snow. We've had electric tails all morning but, alas, these babies are housecats. We brought them in a plate of snow to play with though 🥹
