Ingleborough and its guardians shining nicely in the afternoon sun.

With his current mental acuity, he’d never know the difference. And no phones allowed…🤭

So, another nasty useless Tory moves to Reform, wailing about “broken Britain”, conveniently forgetting that it was her government that wilfully broke it.

British trains don’t get any comfier or more relaxing than these. Almost hoping we get delayed. London North Eastern Railway

Tourist mode.

Nice to see one of my sporting heroes make an appearance at the Olympics opening ceremony.

How have I never noticed this before on many visits to Carlisle? Dixon’s Chimney. 8th highest in the world when it was built.

Finally had my root canal surgery today. The most unpleasant thing was being unable to close my mouth for even a second for over 90 minutes.

We have a 17 year old! So we had to get a learner-friendly car. Seems pretty good after a whole 0.9 miles in it.

Beautiful views across the bay and over to Ingleborough from Morecambe this afternoon.

Curiosity got the better of us, so the boy & I took the train to one of the UK’s least used (and grimmest) stations. Who recognises it?

Finally got round to attaching my new Insta360 to my motorbike. Here’s a quick poodle round my home village. Too cold for a longer ride.

We had an Abyssinian-tabby cross when I was a kid. Very nice looking cat. Super friendly too.

A day enjoying a bit of vintage Yorkshire.

WTF? Farmer? Him? How? Because he owns a waxed jacket? So do I, but I have no intention of standing in a field pretending to be something I’ve zero experience of. Who’s falling for this shit?

And there he goes. First solo foreign trip. Hoping he has a great time!

Exploring the architectural wonders of Liverpool. Thanks to Liverpool Vista for making me aware of some of these places.
