A favourite local hill never disappoints ❤️

Well played England and France. It’s going to be an awesome final between England and Canada #RWC2025

This bumblebee disappeared decades ago from England and Wales and is now Scotland’s most threatened bumblebee ⚠️ Once found across the UK, the Great Yellow bumblebee is now found in the far north and west of Scotland – and only in very small numbers. 1/5

🤦🏼More access problems in Glen Lyon, Perthshire. North Chesthill Estate is trying to stop access to 4 popular Munros for all of Sept & Oct. #ScottishOutdoorAccessCode accepts managing routes on specific days for 🦌 stalking, but NOT unreasonable blanket bans. We've asked council staff to intervene.

Trump is coming to the UK to AVOID the EPSTEIN story. Unfortunately the British public just crowdfunded the WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTO of Donald with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. And here is right outside Windsor Castle, where Trump is staying with the King this week.

Beautiful orange moon above the Berkshire Downs tonight. Reminds me of this painting I did called Glimmering Moon. The title comes from a John Masefield poem. This painting looks over Lollingdon Hill - home and loved landscape of Masefield back in 1914.

I love where I live. I go to sleep listening to the sound of tawny owls calling and wake up to them too. One has just called now .. simply delightful ❤️ (yes I’m having a lie in 🤣)

Not many farmers would tell you that we need to eat less meat; that wealthy landowners shouldn’t moan about inheritance tax but should “pay the whole fucking lot”; & that Reform UK are “a load of rich rightwing toffs” 😂 But Devon farmer Guy Singh-Watson does: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What was the Charter of the Forest and why was it so important? The Charter of the Forest restored rights of access for freemen to lands that had been used exclusively by the king and the nobility for almost 200 years.

What better way to start the day than taking the Office Assistant (retired) aka Otto, for a walk involving a cooling pool to play in … and blackberries for a snack

This Meadow Brown butterfly was far too flighty to manage to get a shot of in full! That’s one of the challenges of using a Sandmarc macro lens with my iPhone 16 - the lack of quick zoom/autofocus … I’ll get my new camera & macro lens out next week :)

I always wonder where people are heading to and what adventures await them

Too hot for a long walk today. So I took a bimble over our local hill - an iron hill fort founded around 550BC. This walnut tree is one of my most favourite trees ever - I love its structure, the shade it gives on hot days like today .. folks picking the walnuts .. kids playing on it

@timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social is still very much missed

We are riding LEJOG to remember @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social who tragically took his life earlier this year. We wanted to do a ride he would have loved in a way he would have done himself: plenty of stops, lots of food, & good beer. You can support/donate here: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Fasinating thread by Philip about our cultivated landscapes since Neolithic times. I am working on a 10 metre panel of public art as part of The Springline Project. Depecting a 4 mile walk in Oxfordshire but also acting as a visual 'baseline' of 2025 for biodiversity, surveyed by scientists.

Just behind yours @annadillon.bsky.social

Loved seeing this young hare last night on a local walk .. best shot I could get before it bounded off .. just a beautiful thing to watch

A favourite hill. Just wonderful to be out. Changing landscapes - harvest time

Had a client meeting today. Figured I’d ride there on my ebikes as it was a nice afternoon and cheaper than driving. Well that was a mistake. How the hell is there no secure parking at the Albert Dock in Liverpool, particularly outside the building doors? Cc @merseycyclists.bsky.social
