Occasionally I get sentimental at my Substack. open.substack.com/pub/lloydcol...

Somehow I missed this. I hear it now. It does so many thing I try to, and usually fail at. I'm jealous. So I'm sharing. Merry, Merry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=szC7...

That's me in the grey, with a dark passenger on board. Another 15 miles in virtual Scotland. #lloydscyclingadventure www.strava.com/activities/1...

The FT writes: ‘In Trump’s interview with GB News, its correspondent, Bev Turner, gave North Korea’s broadcasters a run for their money. “It feels much safer here,” Turner said, contrasting Washington to London, though the chances of being murdered in DC are around 26 times higher than in London.

Unlocking the vintage gloves! Another 14 virtual miles up and down a mountain. #lloydscyclingadventure www.strava.com/activities/1...

2/2 In this age where the value of our art is measured by accumulated ❤️s and 👎s we need our critics more than ever.

1/2 Criticism isn't cancelling. When you step on the stage, of course you want the critics to love you, be it Tynan, Kael or Kent, but you know the chances of them all doing so (Kent didn't love me) are slim to none. I'm not sure we need to rush to defend our peers from criticism, however harsh.

Easy (not) like Monday morning. A bit of a struggle TBH #lloydscyclingadventure www.strava.com/activities/1...

Winter golf work begins. www.strava.com/activities/1...

Perspective, from Mark Damazer,former controller #BBCRadio4: “At the end of the programme I trotted back to the newsroom. Two producers held up telephone receivers: one cradling an incoming blast of complaint from Conservative HQ, and one from Labour – about the self-same item.” #BBC

I like this.

Are we so far POST PEEP SHOW that kids are trying the Bristol Student look again, without worry? Bartender in Cranleigh is sporting a bold barnet.

Nothing but Classic Rock in the ‘good beer’ pub in Cranleigh 😂 ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’ first actually good track.

Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general for NOT HAVING ENOUGH RIGHT WING BIAS???!!! 😂😂😂

à bientôt, Rouen. That was the last concert of 2025, for me. Thanks to everyone who came out and kept me in business. See you all in 2026!

Rouen. Last show of the tour is tomorrow night at Le 106. A few (literally) tickets remain. Details at my website lloydcole dotcom / LIVE.

It's a long drive from Marseille to Bordeaux, so we stopped in Toulouse. ❤️ Cassoulet. Shout out to Les Copains D'abord. Fabulous!

Marseille!

Nimes walk. Most bases covered.

My Tour De France has made its way to Nimes. Which is wonderful.

Farewell to the peerless Prunella Scales. Wonderful actress and, of course, style icon to a style icon

Morning off in Paris. Laundry and then reward from Diptyque. The Perfume Museum, if you're thinking of visiting, is more of a shop with an exhibit. I wouldn't go out of your way, but it was close by...
