Northumberland.
Mostly books, music, landscapes, and cake.
At the back of my mind, I was always hoping I might just get by.

The low morning sun really brought out the cup and ring marks on this boulder near Lordenshaws this morning

Almost at 9K, and then very nearly 10,000 signatures in Day 1 of this petition!

It's about time driven grouse shooting was binned off, don't you think?

First post on Bluesky; I’m hoping for a more civilised forum than the dreadful opposition. Finding it difficult to find people I know but I’ll be patient. 🤞

We’ve had/are having a bit of snow this morning #Northumberland

A flash of colour among frosty trees,
Pink on my chest, a sight to please.
With a cap of black, and wings of blue,
A shy delight in winter's hues.
Who am I?

One of my main work perks is getting a slice of cake with my coffee. Polenta with orange and cranberry today.

BREAKING: The latest #COP29 text falls woefully short.

The finance package is too low, too weak, while critical acknowledgement of nature has been entirely erased.

This is more than disappointing, it's dangerous. 🚨

Leaders—don't walk away without fixing this.
A lone Puffin stands in silhouette on a grassy cliff, framed by a vivid orange sunset. Its distinctive beak and rounded form are stark against the fading light, evoking both beauty and fragility. The scene captures a quiet urgency, reflecting the gravity of nature's erasure from the latest #COP29 text.

I’m listening to @emmanewman.bsky.social perform her own audiobook, Atlas Alone, and I’m enjoying it so much I went out for an extra walk so I could hear another hour or so. The afternoon light was just beautiful, and I saw a small flock of redwings, and took a not very good photo of them.
Colour photograph of a field of Barley stubble in deep shadow from neighbouring trees in the foreground, bathed in sunshine further back. There is a small copse of trees on the skyline and the sky is a pale wintry blue with some light streaky clouds. The winter sun is low and the light is very beautiful. Colour photograph. The bottom left-hand quarter is full of the winter branches of an old Hawthorn tree. Sitting on the top branches are three or four redwings. The sky behind is a clear blue.
