Too late for #FoxOfTheDay Chris Packham but this was a nice surprise for us RSPB_OldMoor. It was in the distance, apparently he has learned from his mother how to swim across to islands for a snack!!

Well I thoroughly enjoyed this. A wonderful piece of story telling, and what a story.There was no one at the time to close to the cycling record of Beryl Burton and no one since has come close.

I finished this last night. It was a sublime piece of writing. Just magical, with dare I say a little Alan Garner Red Shift influence. A tour de force @BenMyers1 (PS I bet you enjoyed writing the chapter with the Oxford don!!)

Retirement has given me time to start to update my blog. Who knows I may even pay to remove the adverts. More ramblings from the "Fishing around in the world of education" blog agittner.wordpress.com

Very patient driving from an articulated lorry driver for The Range UK coming out of Barnsley this am along Sheffield Road. The central islands made it difficult for them to overtake me on my cycle but an exemplary pass when it was appropriate. Thank you

Now I have more time on my hands I am riding in the middle of the day midweek. The roads are busier than my normal early weekend rides it is nice to see so many drivers who pass appropriately & are courteous. And an exemplary pass from a #ibnscaffolding lorry in a tricky place.

Poignant images from Ian Beesley at Salt Mills. An important record of our industrial heritage. And accompanied by poignant words from Ian McMillan Please zoom in and read the story of Dolly.

Good evening sorry to bother you. Kevin Smith We had a club member pushed off their bike on Sunday by a passenger in a car. Two cyclists down one needed to go to hospital. It has been reported, what is going to be the best way to keep a track on what is happening with this?

Weโ€™ve been in Ripon today. They are posh round here, the pot of sauce sachets came with a little pair of scissors to snip the ends off. And it was super posh as they werenโ€™t tied to the table with a string

As I know he is still on here I just wanted to thank Ian McMillan once again for his funny but thought provoking poetry. Came across this book in a charity shop. It is definitely not just for children. Destiny Girls and Visiting Grandad were almost too much for me.
