First leg of my bus and train journey from Slingsby to Ingleton to climb Ingleborough had to be abandoned when the new bus service didn’t turn up 😡 Had to take the car to Malton. Hope the rest of the journey is more straightforward 🤞

That’s brave minister 😳

Happy National Gardening Day! Did you know that in 1894, GWR started an annual competition for the best station garden? It encouraged staff pride and beautified stations with flowerpots, hanging baskets, and even vegetable patches. #GardeningHistory 🌼🚂

Greetings from Centenary Way. Left a Misty York at 10.00 this morning to walk home to Slingsby 😳 About halfway there. Stopping for lunch just north of Strensall. The banks of the Foss are definitely more Norfolk than Yorkshire!

An exciting discovery from Scotland - this 1800-year-old slice of pizza was recently unearthed in the ruins of a broch. The dish was introduced to the region c. AD 83 by the Romans. Fragments of oil jars found nearby suggest that the Picts deep fried rather than baked their pizza

Lots of trains on today’s train all from Goathland to Grosmont.

Finally managed to submit a book chapter that has caused me so much grief! The editor seems to like it so on to the next stage now! Might be my first CHSTM publication (another also in production) 🧐

If you’re a writer, make sure you join ALCS - they give you money that is yours by right, but you didn’t know it was yours

Today I learned about Barry, the Bravest St Bernard! Though presumably his name is pronounced Baa-ree!

Standing ovation for Ed Davey at the start of his speech! Looks like we’re going to be up and down like the Assyrian Empire! Liberal Democrats spring conference
