Views from part of my cycle ride to the half way point on my journey home on to the #BlackdownHills this evening. 8.95 miles in 61 minutes, which for me is good, this includes the stops that I do, otherwise the actual cycling time was 47.12 minutes. One stop was to wait for the bus to go through.

First light, yesterday and then from my cycle 🚲 to work yesterday morning off the #BlackdownHills, such an easy journey in, but more effort needed going home #uphillalltheway

Big clouds around the area on the #BlackdownHills, hoping that they'll still be there at sunset.....

As mentioned on page 114 of @jpwarchaeology.bsky.social Historic Building Mythbusting book, the Devil's Stones at #StapleFitzpaine #BlackdownHills, stopping off first at the #GreyhoundInn for a bite to eat.

With a frost on the cars and clear skies this morning, the temperature ranges between 2° to 10°, but windchill makes it feel colder. Wind speeds around 19mph and there's 56% chance of rain as there is showers in the vicinity. #BlackdownHills. Sunrise 05:59, sunset 18:38.

Been writing about the experience of the Triskele Heritage online talks, which I started 5 years ago, for The Buildings Archaeologist book. Its been amazing. Directly led to getting published, touring, broadcasting & fieldwork. The next talk is in a week: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-folklo...

I'm really looking forward to talking folklore at this online event on 2 April. I've found an understanding of folk tradition hugely enriches the study of ancient buildings because it informs us about how people thought about them. Bookings here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-folklo...

Not that long before sunrise this morning, it didn't last long #BlackdownHills.

A long-held tradition maintained that the Tower of London was built by Julius Caesar. It was even referred to by Shakespeare in the 1590s. To find out why, and much more about The Folklore of Ancient Buildings join us for an online event, 2 April: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-folklo...

No walk tonight at sunset for me, but I did capture these from my front window. #BlackdownHills

Frosty start this morning on the #BlackdownHills I didn't charge #Wilmainthewild #KiaNiro2EV overnight, so a bit of de-icing was needed before I left for work.

Nice to see the crocuses open and facing the sunshine with a bumblebee having a feasts. This one is the first I've seen this year. #BlackdownHills.

At home, on the #BlackdownHills, this morning, the sun was shrouded by a misty fog, but down in the valley of #TauntonDeane it was clearer. Taunton has just had a 2 hour rain storm go over, this didn't happen on hills, or at least the little patch where home is.

Woohoo! This picture has been voted picture of the week in the #SomersetLeveller Sunset on the #BlackdownHills.

It's been lovely to have a day off with some sunshine today. A short evening walk at sunset. #BlackdownHills.

The next Triskele Heritage online talk is Reinterpreting Listed Buildings. It looks at why buildings were listed, what conditions were like for listing investigators, why many listings were short & inaccurate, plus how new research is pushing back dating. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/reinterpre...

A foggy start on the #BlackdownHills yesterday, but it turned out to be a fabulous sunset.

It was nice to be able to walk through #VivaryPark #Taunton this morning, after it had been locked due to flooding for almost a week.

Flooding has gone in #WiltonLands but there's still some in #VivaryPark and Taunton Cricket club. #Taunton.

A new river on the #BlackdownHills, due to all the rain we've been having lately. There is also chances for rock pooling.

A heads up for speaker bookers, festival organisers, conference wranglers, & other events folk... I am getting a LOT of offers to appear all over the country. If you are thinking of booking me for something in 2026 please do holler soon as dates are getting scarce😎

Despite it being almost 2 hours after last light, there was a bit of light in the sky. The red light was from #Wilmainthewild #KiaNiro2EV & there's a car travelling on the road I'd turned off of #BlackdownHills.

These shots are ones that I've wanted to take for ages. The Crescent #Taunton looking almost like it did in the early days. #TrafficFree
