Strangers in the Night

A double live album released by British hard rock band #UFO in 1979 that I picked up in a local charity shop. I’ve given it a clean-up with #LegendVinyl, and surprisingly it’s in almost immaculate condition for vinyl that’s not far off being 50 years old!

One of my favourite plants are cacti 🌵 it was great to see the large specimens at @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social. The collection of cacti inside the Arid Lands glasshouse was fascinating.

We spent the best part of today taking a leisurely stroll around @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social. The trees were putting on their autumn show of colour.

Of particular interest was the Averrhoa carambola (star fruit tree), which was fruiting in the greenhouse.

Love seeing the fruits on the Arbutus unedo, they add a little splash of colour to the garden through autumn.

Although edible, I’ve found them to have an unexciting flavour, though they’re often used to make jams, preserves, and liqueurs.

Been listening to #TheSherlocks loads lately, so I couldn’t resist — got myself a ticket for their @boileroom.bsky.social show in December. Roll on gig night! 🎶

Back in April, #BigBoyBloater brought his bluesy rock ’n’ roll to the #WestEndCentre, sharing stories from his career between songs. A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining night!

Native to Japan 🇯🇵 Camellia sasanqua 'Narumigata' is just starting to bloom, looking beautiful in the soft afternoon sunshine.

A throwback to last year when I saw #SharpClass — the trio brought their high-energy, mod-infused power pop to the #PortlandArms, Cambridge.

A June memory full of 90s nostalgia — seeing one of my favourite bands, #OceanColourScene at #SouthamptonSummerSessions. #Echobelly and #Cast were equally brilliant warm-up acts!

It’s finally Friday, and tonight’s soundtrack is ‘The Sun Is Often Out’ by @longpigsband.bsky.social 🎶 This reissue from 2024 of their classic 1996 album is the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

Remembering #TheVonHertzenBrothers at The 1865, Southampton earlier this year. I went in not knowing much about them, and came out a fan!

A little souvenir from Friday night’s #Echobelly gig.

A limited edition signed 30th anniversary vinyl of their superb album ON.

#Sleeper closed the Inbetweener Tour @concorde2.bsky.social last night, pure 90s magic.

#LouiseWener had the crowd in the palm of her hand. Been counting down to this one for months, and it was worth every minute.

Britpop legend Louis Eliot warming up the crowd @concorde2.bsky.social

Until recently, I wasn’t aware of Rialto. But it’s safe to say they now have a new fan.

What a night! #Echobelly brought a high energy set to Chalk in Brighton that had the crowd buzzing from start to finish.

#SonjaMadan stage presence was magnetic.

Great set from #Babybird at Chalk in Brighton last night.

The whole room sang You’re Gorgeous like it was 1996.

🍂 The nursery is bursting with colour right now!

One of the true standouts this autumn is Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’ also known as the Fire Bush 🔥

Perfect for adding a splash of colour to the garden as the temperatures start to drop.

Ripley’s got one mission today: protect the ball at all costs… even if it means zoomies around the house at 100 mph.

Lily beetle spotted this morning. Bright red and eye-catching, but a real menace to lilies and fritillaries. Keep an eye out for them on your plants!

Delivery day at the NEC! This morning I dropped off a full lorry load of incredible teak animals for Art by Nature at Grand Designs Live 🦍🦁🐴

Always great being part of something creative at big events like this.
