Despite a rogue fire alarm 'interval' and standing outside in a very cold York for half an hour while they checked the theatre wasn't burning down, this was amazing theatre. And I now have a signed tea towel. Happy days. Thank you @markthomasinfo.bsky.social #livetheatre #Fullmoon #bitchillyout

The first episode of The Clangers was originally broadcast on this day in 1969.

Walmgate Stray, York UK on a #bluesky cold spring morning. There are worse commutes.... #photohour #stormhour #photography #cyclecommute

Just spent a week in Totnes looking at the 'what can we do' question and ended up exactly here. Small actions ripple out. Nothing you can do is too small. Random acts of kindness. Smiling at neighbours. It all helps. #allyoufascistsareboundtolose

A grey Yorkshire day. But the rain held off. Dog walk at Studley Royal, N Yorkshire UK. #photography #photooftheday #stormhour #thephotohour

A leisurely walk home after a long lunch and coffee catching up with a friend. Perfect Sunday. The River Ouse in York seldom disappoints for photo ops. Now to finish making marmalade!! #photography #thephotohour #photooftheday #York

Online meetings are so common now that a face to face feels like an event! Newcastle today. Quick lunch at the Baltic & to see the Sycamore Gap 'Heartwood' exhibition. I thought I'd missed it. It's incredibly moving. Recommended. #alphabetchallenge #weekEforEvent #photography

There was a sugar coating of snow on the North York Moors this morning. With a biting wind and heavy clouds. And still it's stunningly beautiful. #photography #photooftheday #yorkshire

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

It’s New Years Honours day m.youtube.com/shorts/HpVNI...

Sun-going-down light on Lendal Tower next to Lendal Bridge in York #photooftheday #photography #sunset

One of my favourite trees looking majestic in its winter sparseness against the evening sky. We are at the darkest part of the year. Days are short. But only 3 days til Solstice when the wheel will turn & the light will slowly return. #trees #wintersolstice #photography #photooftheday
