Wonderful organic, evolving set from @loulayorke.bsky.social in the stunning setting of St Mary’s church, Woodbridge. A memorable experience 🙏😊🎶 #LoveLiveMusic

At the Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival on the banks of the river Deben in Suffolk. Listening to a performance of Steve Reich’s Piano Phase in this beautiful place, gorgeous 🙏🎶 #LoveLiveMusic

Memorable Women’s Rugby World Cup Quarter Final this afternoon at Sandy Park, a real privilege to see the Haka, spine-tingling! Great atmosphere, good effort from South Africa but New Zealand far too powerful in the end 🙏🏉 #RWC2025

12:50am and I’m trying to catch a mouse that the cat brought in, using the patented “cheese on a ruler and Tupperware box” method ☹️🐈🐁🧀

#NowPlaying Superstar ⭐️🎶

Day out in Plymouth, favourite pub, excellent beer, cheers & happy weekend everyone! 🍻 #LoveBass

Fine, fine, fine album, what a high to bow out with. I can’t believe I’m hearing Sarah singing “for the very last time” 😭 Don’t it make you sad, but don’t it make you glad 😌Thank you so much Saint Etienne for being there through our lives, don’t know what we’d have done without you ❤️🎶🙏

#JustArrived thought I’d go all-in on Saint Etienne’s 13th and final (😭😭😭) album. The singles so far have been amongst their best IMO. Back in a couple of hours.

A lovely walk today around Ottery St Mary, Tipton St John and along the river Otter, managed to avoid the deluges thankfully. Summer is ending, though all the seasons bring good things 😊🙏

Souvenir socks 😊👍

Super day aboard the PS Waverley, the world’s last ocean-going paddle steamer. Torquay to Weymouth and along to Durdle Door and back, such a beautiful coastline!😍 An absolute joy, so glad she has been preserved for generations to come 😊🙏 If you get the chance, don’t hesitate 👍

Here’s a clue! 😊

Torquay marina, looking splendid! Got an exciting trip planned today, more to follow!

Worcester v Somerset on the telly (One-Day Cup Semifinal) and a Bloody Mary, cheers all, enjoy your Sunday 🏏😊👍

Luke Haines, Peter Buck et al in a very hot and sweaty Exeter Cavern. Excellent, though my ears will need a few days 👂

Exeter Morris dancing on Budleigh Salterton sea front, right now 😊👍

Well I did not know that #StandingStoneSunday was a thing, but here’s a photo I took today of Scorhill Stone Circle on Dartmoor. Seems like this scene could be exactly the same thousands of years ago 🙏

🎶 I’m looking at the big sky 🎶

Went to the Honiton Show and saw: prize sheep and cattle, agricultural machinery, vintage tractors, ferret racing, sheep shearing, tug of war, scurry competition, motorbike freestyle jumping and lots of flat caps. A wonderful Devon day out 😊

Having a picnic for tea at Orcombe Point above Exmouth. It’s breezy 😂

Got a long weekend in Manchester coming up so I thought I’d better prepare! Many thanks @totalcurtis.bsky.social 🍻

Today is #HiroshimaDay, marking 80 years since the devastating atomic bombing. My song Paper Cranes documents an emotional visit to the peace museum and an encounter with a survivor. Today and every Aug 6, I’ll donate any profits to a Hibakusha charity. sitenonsite.bandcamp.com/album/hirosh...

A long, exhausting hike along part of the East Devon Way today, 11 miles from Newton Poppleford to Sidford. Beautiful day and gorgeous scenery. Feeling happy 🙏

A Sunday afternoon of live music at 12 Bar in Exeter, celebrating their first birthday! First up, Francesca Brown, who also works here - beautiful voice 😊

Pippin’s not so good at hide and seek 😂❤️🐈

Approaching lunch here at Taunton, where Durham Women are setting a big target for Somerset. Suzie Bates scoring an incredible 163. Going to be quite the chase, we can do it Somerset! 🏏

Bike ride to Budleigh Salterton, lunch at my favourite spot, 50 Degrees North, on the beach. I might have mentioned their excellent crab sandwiches before! 😂🦀☕️🚴

I’ve chosen Vocation Life & Death to accompany the football, but as we all know it’s much more important than that! Come on Lionesses, make us proud, one final push! 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️
