The season changes and soon the leaves will fall. Yet the forests are already littered with the dried husks of past years and on occasion, far more ancient relics. #StandingStoneSunday #AutumnEquinox

It begins.

“This one’s mine, get your own. Plenty to choose from!” #StandingStoneSunday

A volunteer is running two introductory volunteer sessions at our studio in September (18th and 25th). No experience required. Free session if you are new to Resonance and interested in learning to be a community radio engineer. Sign up here: www.eventbrite.com/e/1679562118...

The end of the summer hiatus and return of regular programming at @resonancefm.bsky.social #radio 🥳🥳🥳

London Road closed in both directions, eastbound traffic being diverted up Wokingham Road #rdg #rdguk

My friends know me too well.

Birthday delights, but probably best to enjoy the whisky after assembling the radio, not before!

Wayland’s Smithy, Oxfordshire #StandingStoneSunday

With #ReadingFestival over, so begins the annual Carmageddon Games, where traffic in town reaches a standstill, while locals point and laugh. This year sees the tactic of walking along the IDR and slip roads, until you see your lift. Bad for safety and traffic flow #rdg #rdguk

A warm evening and waiting for the stars to fall. Currently listening to Jean-Michel Jarre and @psbhq.bsky.social #music #Perseids

Saturday night, Sunday morning

202 years old, untold happy pints and happy nights out. A real community pub. A Community Interest Company (CIC) has been formed to fund the leasehold purchase of The Castle Tap in Reading, and keep it in the hands of the community, where it belongs. www.thecastletapcic.co.uk #rdg #rdguk

With @resonancefm.bsky.social on a summer break until September, comes the eerie period where live broadcasts cease and the ghosts of radio past seep through. On the airwaves between 4-10 August is an opportunity to revisit output from the @radiophrenia.bsky.social festival earlier this year #radio

Only 6 hours to go until our 2025 Rewind broadcast begins! Tune in tonight from midnight on Resonance 104.4FM and Resonance Extra. RADIOPHRENIA - Rewind 2025 4th – 10th August, 2025 www.resonancefm.com

Red brick, yellow brick, grey brick, home. Reading houses are renowned for distinctive brickwork. Did you know this is achieved by adding chalk during the brick-making process? Berkshire Industrial Archaeology Group charts the history of brick-making in the town bit.ly/4ffLC1L #rdg #rdguk

Currently listening to Dexter Bentley’s #HelloGoodbyeShow on @resonancefm.bsky.social. This edition features One Minute Wonders 2025, including my entry, ‘Excerpt From Avenue Moog’ bit.ly/2TucOBG #music #radio

Tomorrow @resonancefm.bsky.social features an excerpt of the soundtrack to my short film ‘Avenue Moog’ on Dexter Bentley’s #HelloGoodbyeShow, as part of the run of One Minute Wonders, from 12.00pm-1.30pm. The film is a psychedelic ramble along West Kennet Avenue in Avebury #radio #music

Every time I pass this mural of Heather Small, I can’t help but think it looks a bit satanic #rdg #rdguk

“The ground which a few months ago was boggy and squelched beneath our boots is now concrete-dry under flattened wisps of crisp yellow grass.” Summer arrives in ‘The Naturalist Letters’ series from @danielandclara.bsky.social bit.ly/4gFnHbc #MailArt

I support the proposal by @stoneclub.bsky.social for a campaign promoting greater care of ancient sites. From careless littering to wilful damage, our access to land is at risk if we don’t look after it. Be respectful, enjoy your visit and allow others to do the same. #LeaveNoTrace

It’s not every day I appear on the same bill as Art Terry, @mccookerybook.bsky.social and other talented artists. I’m in there on 26th July with the ‘One Minute Wonders’ on Dexter Bentley’s #HelloGoodbyeShow on @resonancefm.bsky.social - still open for submissions! bit.ly/40irfuN #music #radio

A chance to revisit television from 45 years ago with an episode of ‘Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World - The Riddle Of The Stones.’ Moodily shot, Gordon Honeycombe narrating with gravitas. And that theme tune? Chef’s kiss youtu.be/0XhICVkU3bU?si=RAy6TKl16-4Cluq2 #StandingStoneSunday

The Bayeux Tapestry is set to be shown at @britishmuseum.bsky.social, returning to British soil for the first time in 900 years. @readingmuseum.bsky.social has a stunning replica created in the 19th century, with the added bonus of the Norman ruins of Reading Abbey nearby #history bit.ly/3TBvX2T

When the night brings coolness and clarity, and the faint glow of the day illuminates the clouds, there’s no better time and place to write than outside.

As if any excuse for an outdoor screening of ‘A Year In A Field’ was needed, tonight is the perfect opportunity @stoneclub.bsky.social

I wonder if the luxury flat owners knew their private forecourt would become a public access route to the train station? #rdg #rdguk

For every portal dolmen not only provides cover for rain-bullied archaeologists, but shelter for folklore. Shelter for people to stand under it and imagine beyond the confines of the now. Here is a safe space to hold hands with the long dead and feel wonder. - Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

A dawn visit to Avebury, a week after the Summer Solstice. Not a soul in sight and fuelled by the biggest portable tanker of hot tea available to mankind #StandingStoneSunday
