Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 2025 British Bishop Wrangling championships.
Let’s go straight to the action where Jeff Sutton has drawn the Bishop of Durham in the first round. This is going to be some top flight bishop wrangling.

I’ve shared this before, and will do again. Even while filling in the form telling them all the exciting things I haven’t done recently, this puts a lump in the thread and a tear in the eye.

Remember when Red Bull came in those funny little cans because it was so potent? Then they did bigger ones which seemed like a bad move, but stuck around.

Looking back at the Race of Remembrance. One of the best car events I've ever been to, but as a wise man said "It's not about the cars, it's about the people." No works teams, no GT3 cars, just lovely people in an amazing place.

For @steelcon.bsky.social this year I did a second round of edits. Of course it's fun to produce the event images to show off what's going on and the speakers doing great work, but the B&W, more behind the scenes images worked well and felt more personal.
