@impq.bsky.social chapeau to @andymch.bsky.social . I can confirm his lovely jingle was spot on and exactly the one I was referring to. (I think there were versions with other djs too but I might be wrong)

@willdalrymple.bsky.social oh William. William. Shame on you! 😃 youtu.be/WjYEyENr6c8?...

A look up the Upper #Eden Valley, #Cumbria

The #Faversham Fleur de Lis Museum re-opens tomorrow from 11am - 3pm and a fabulous exhibition is ready to kick off the year. The The Kent Archaeological Society community excavation at Front Brents, Faversham exhibition will run until the 18th April.

You'll have to take my word for it with this old pic, but my photos app memories tell me it's 10 years to the day since I had the fortune to be at the first Reeves and Mortimer comeback show after Bobs heart problems. What's Bob been doing since then? #allgoneabitquiet

Got my copy of @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Everything Will Swallow You the other. Fortunately I have quite a pile of books on the go, coz Henry is a slow reader and keeps getting distracted by the lovely cat bookmark. He may be a while yet, the idiot.

Morning. Had a foggy start in the #Dale, but there is some sun out there somewhere

Love the bright colours of London. It was a bit more grey when I was last there, but this is what London looks like from the revolving restaurant. youtu.be/pbx3MbiPWGA?...

So today (26 January) is the 100th anniversary of the first demonstration broadcast of television by Logie-Baird. It's also the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of the colour version of Ivor the Engine. So, today at least, Ivor (in colour) has been around for exactly half the life of TV

No Dogs? No Dragons? No happy!

Hey look @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social - found a small golden version of you at the weekend at Lowther Castle

RIP Alex Pretti November 9, 1988 - January 24, 2026 A nurse who exhibited bravery and kindness. Murdered by U.S. government thugs.

@daveyjones.bsky.social I see @vizcomic.bsky.social liked your piers Mears and Tears for Fears episode so much that they have published it in 2 consecutive issues 😃

Made my first visits to Glasgow on a couple of occasions in the last year. Had a great time exploring the city and seeing so much great street art in all corners. Why spoil it with this slop?

@impq.bsky.social have you seen this quality bit of guardian journalism? www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Leaving #KingsCross @lner.co.uk

The Telegraph (usual fare: “The Car of the Year is the Mercedes CLA – here is why you should want one”) has an article on “Britain’s 20 prettiest streets”. _15_ of them are car-free (and 4 of the others are very quiet). Restricting cars makes for better towns. www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti...

Decent way into one of the best unsung bands...

The #deer of #Raby #Castle

Learned of Terry Yorath's death a couple of days ago. Had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times (and Gabby on occasion) in Henry J Beans bar in Beirut in 1996 when he was managing the Lebanese national team. He was always friendly to us even though we were a lairy bunch of Archaeologists

It's cold. It's snowed overnight here in the #NorthPennines which is just covering the sheet ice. It can only mean one thing... It's @spinerace.bsky.social week #dotwatching Good luck folks and hope to see some of you up here at halfway soon

It's #Fairytale Day. 25 years today since Kirsty was killed. Stick it on loud, raise a glass, and sing along. youtu.be/j9jbdgZidu8?...

A rainy night in #Coventry

A piece of #streetart in #coventry. One for @coolbikeart1.bsky.social I think.

A rather impressive #Rainbow this morning on #Teesdale between Hamsterley and Woodland. If I say so myself, it's worth clicking on the image to see the full width of the rainbow

@willdalrymple.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social I think you'll need to do an @empirepoduk.bsky.social update to the Orwell series after you've seen this....

Hurry up Come on through the #stile. There's a stream to scramble through next.

Listening out for ghost trains. On the old #Teesdale #Railway path at the Balder #Viaduct

Having expressed his dismay at learning there are still a couple of #Teesdale #TrigPoint that he hasn't visited, we set out to correct one of those oversights

Second breakfast after a good walk to Grey Carrs trig point. I get the feeling I'm being watched

Handy of the Romans to build #HadriansWall right next to the A69. Easy to get to

It's my final one of these posts for 2025 with pint no 85 delivered at the Newcastle Donor Centre but there will be more to come in 2026 (hopefully!). Until then you know the drill. If you can, please do. www.blood.co.uk #giveblood #blood #nhs

Well that's that ruined. I even made a special trip. Thanks #Hancock #Museum #Newcastle

Cracking afternoon at the #snooker in #York this afternoon.

S’cuse me guvnor? Spare a little cash for me Christmas offerings? A plethora of possibilities, all of them silly, sweary, naughty but niche… Oh. And a fat redbreasted BORB… All drawn by me using me paints and stuff (with some nods to pop culture here and there) Dippyfishcards.etsy.com #bsnm 🎅

One from the recent snows of one of my favourite Teesdale views. In the foreground is Falcon Clints and the river Tees. Beyond is Meldon Hill, Great and Little Dun Fell, with Cross Fell on the right of skyline. #teesdale #landscapephotography #winter #snow #countydurham #northpennines #durhamdales
