The Doubler Stones are a pair of mushroom-shaped natural rock formations located on Addingham High Moor. The stones are protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument due to the presence of late Neolithic and Bronze Age (c. 2800–500 BC) cup-and-ring carvings.

The French have had enough of speeding car drivers killing people, so now if you’re doing 50mph in a 20 zone or 100 on a Mway, off to jail for 3 months. And a £3,000 fine to pay for your lovely uniform, food and shelter. If only we had some politicians with such courage in the UK.

Good morning, James
@nowthenthee.bsky.social
& thank you. Yes, Cecil Osborne's depiction of the sky in "Farringdon Road" is superb, as you say. Here's a post-war sky-scape for you in "Redundant Vessels at Rye" by Walter Steggles, most likely from the 1960s although I can't be sure.
