Derwentwatter yesterday. Autumn is definitely making its presence known.

We've had 5 days of cloud inversions in the Eden Valley. It's a lovely time of year.

100 pro-immigration v 35 anti-immigration feels like a good balance to me.

Demonstrators faced each other outside a hotel used to house asylum seekers in Oxford today. Pro immigration protesters numbered around 100 and bore placards saying ‘Hope not Hate’, ‘Everyone is welcome here’ and ‘The only minority destroying the country are billionaires.’

The passing of Tomas Lindberg is another huge blow to our scene. A true larger than life legend, whose instantly recognisable style was often imitated, but never bettered, he leaves behind a legacy of work that will live forever.
