Looking back on the golden october days. The storm and rain of the last couple of days made the leaves fall and left the bare branches

Crow over bare field

The recent rainy days made the woods a mushroom heaven

There’s mist on the mountains and the trees have started turning their autumn colors on. Beautiful hike. Started raining halfway and I was wet through and through when reaching the car.

Bright sunshine and very warm this morning. Now waiting for storm Detlef and hoping it won’t hit too hard

Highly recommend this new song by Aleksi. Nearly crashed the video shoot twice on the way to my sunday hike and back. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OUz...

Upcoming Norwegian shows and more. If you know anyone in the Trondheim area who needs a bit of Northern English Folk in their life, please share this with them! Tickets below! www.johnnycampbell.co.uk/tour

The new school year has begun. Time to prepare new tunes for my accordion tutoring (my tutor gives me free rein). So why not throw in a few favorites?

It’s the first time I’ve seen a concertina on stage here in germany.

It’s Folkival in my favorite venue.

Got my first conkers 🤩

Don’t forget: the @bellowhead.bsky.social Sea Shanties playlist is great for saturday morning chores

The horse chestnut trees all around look pretty sad. The combination of heat, drought and leaf miners made the leaves turn brown and crumble away.

Been hiking around very old vineyards yesterday. This house once belonged to one of the wine makers. The winepress is just next door. All‘s now a museum

Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz hat heute mal eben im Vorbeigehen seiner eigenen Bevölkerung den Krieg erklärt

Tomorrow will be the last day of my summer vacation. Two and a half weeks gone just like that. Did less hiking than planned because of the heat.

The famous old town of Tübingen facing the Neckar river. Stocherkahn (punt) included

No perseides yet but a beautiful moon

A duck and a joyful lion for tuesday

The new camera is doing nicely

Treated myself with a new (second hand in fact) camera to fill the gap between ‘the phone camera isn’t enough for this’ and ‘but I don’t want to carry heavy photo equipment’ Let’s see how it goes

The moon shines bright tonight

Butterflies butterflies. The woods are still brimming with butterflies 🦋
