I think it’s been about 11 months since I posted anything here on BlueSky. My husband died suddenly just before Christmas. It’s been a tough year and I’m only just starting to interact with the world. Here’s Venice from late October’s solo trip🧡 #Venice #travel #photography #sunset #Italy

My favourite drive home from work a few years ago. This road over the Kirkstone Pass towards Ambleside in the Lake District is called ‘The Struggle’. Aptly named. That’s Windermere in the distance #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWhite #photography #lakedistrict #nationalpark #cumbria #snow

The Floating Heads art installation at Kelvingrove, Glasgow. This one dug from the depths of my camera roll on my phone to try fulfill this week’s #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWhite #photography #art #glasgow #scotland #museum #mobile #iphone

A room full of Buddhas at Wat Samret temple, Koh Samui, Thailand. Discovered by accident when left to wander while our taxi driver nipped to pay respects at a funeral. An amazing sight🧡 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVivid #photography #travel #thailand #buddha #temple

Must be time for some flowers. This was the last picture I took on my dog walks before we went into lockdown in 2020 and our world’s contracted to those places near home. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVivid #flowers #nature #photography #mobile

Spot the lazy cat snoozing in this #windowsonwednesday A bit of retouching of the paint on one of the colourful houses in the backstreets of Panjim, Goa. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVivid #photography #travel #iphone #mobilephotography #goa #india #incredibleindia

Time for some more vivid blue from Oia, Santorini. Taken before the new fad of the ‘flying dress’ photoshoot, with women in acres of fabric stood on church roofs🫣 No edits, it really was this blue #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVivid #photography #travel #travelthroughphotos #greece #santorini

Vivid skies in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. A quick snap rather than a considered composition as I had a rather good margarita in the other hand! Recommend Malaysian Borneo to all sunset hunters🌞 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVivid #photography #sunset #travel #StormHour #Malaysia #travelphotography

The start of another week of #AlphabetChallenge. This is my first go at #WeekVforVibrant These are the vibrant blue roofs of Oia, Santorini taken early morning before the cruise ship hoards arrived #mobilephotography #photography #santorini #greece #iphone #travel #architecture #mobile

Well the Woodpecker post went wild!! I don't want to get a reputation for "comedy" photos but I can't resist this. Robin sitting on my garden table in a hollow in the snow couple of years back! #birds #ukbirding #uknature #ukwildlife #photography #canon

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

It has started snowing. I look forward to the return of long days and golden sunsets. #photography #wales #sunset #sea #ceredigion #nikon #photo #cardiganbay

Today’s #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder is another London shot. Us Northerners occasionally venture to the capital for the photographic opportunities. This is under the roof of the Natural History Museum #mobilephotography #photography #London #architecture #iphone #mobile

It’s a good job I’m off work at the moment, I’m spending way too much time looking for more entries to the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder This is under the ornate ceiling of the Leadenhall market in the City of London. #mobilephotography #photography #London #architecture #iphone

Children are poor because mothers are poor. If we don't address the drivers of women's poverty and earnings - including barriers to flexible well paid work, transport and unaffordable childcare - it's harder to tackle children's poverty. An astonishing 5.2 million children in poverty in UK.

Couldn’t have put it better👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Under the clouds When you booked a holiday on the sunrise coast in Thailand rather than sunset, so alarm set for 5am to capture this Another go at this week’s #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder #mobilephotography #iphone #StormHour #landscape #photography #travelphotography #travel #clouds

What a woman she is

Any else settled in really nicely and considering deleting the other account? Obvs we won't for now, but come on, it's nice here.

Well it had to happen sooner or later. Just had my first DM calling me sexy and asking how I’m doing. And not in a Joey Tribbiani way. How do I block on this so far refreshingly un-pervy platform?!

Underneath the arches. Gothic vibes in Edinburgh underneath the Scott Monument. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder #mobilephotography #monochrome #photography

Lets see what people think. If Bluesky is better than Twitter LIKE If you have stopped using Twitter RT

If you’d rather stick needles in your eyes and cut your spleen out with a rusty knife then eat it, rather than vote Tory after what they’ve done to the country then we should be following each other. See you soon. 😀

Finding so much more fun stuff here than on the other place! So here goes with my attempt at #AlphabetChallenge #TforTransport #mobilephotography #photography #thailand #boats

A throwback to when I lived in the Lake District and this road through Patterdale was my drive to work some days. Sheffield isn’t quite as pretty. #iphone #photography #lakedistrict #landscape

I would have preferred to give up my UK passport rather than my European one. I cannot fully describe my hatred of Brexit.

If you are anti-Brexit and pro EU and want to find some extra followers. RT and reply to this post and add each other. No fun speaking to yourself.
