Birthday 56 at the excellent Bike & Boot in Scarbados

Happy St Piran’s Day! #cornwall 📸 Bedruthan Steps, Spring 2022

My aim today and going forward is to buy from anywhere but the US. No more Amazon, no more Boots, don’t buy US food, with the exception of Heinz ketchup, any alternative recommendation ms welcome. I will be checking all labels. #FuckTrump

Red will make me run faster? #trailrunning ❤️ 👠

Great to be back running after time out due to the weather / illness / a trip to a&e 🤦‍♂️ #trailrunning

Ready for your close up? Boswens Menhir on the Penwith moors. #StandingStoneSunday #cornwall

A friend is tripping around South America and sent me this 🤩

Pause, breathe, reset. Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️ #Cornish #beach #nature #sky #sea #ocean #calm #peace #photography #life

Superb film. Absolutely loved it and he is great 👇

I had no idea (I know I should) that iPhone has a unique "advertising ID" used by apps to track activity, but you can switch it off in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking If you switch off any apps that have permission here, it’s like stopping their access to your phone’s fingerprint

This dog is too long for our current rating system to handle. We are working internally to address this problem, but in the meantime please only send regular-length dogs. Thank you… 13/10

Presumably the result of recent storms (wind? heavy snow?), there are quite a few trees and branches down where I often go running

I miss Terry Hall 💔 Thinking of You is so good #totp

I'm looking at our wildlife collections at work and learn that a flamboyance (yes!) of flamingos performs an elaborate courtship dance, with head flagging one of their signature moves—being the way one flamingo will try to get the others into a dance party! 🦩 🦩 🦩 #turningheads

We made it through another week #fingerpostfriday #threepeaks #penninebridleway #yorkshire

Today's #trailrunning mood 🎶 "When I'm outside in a real good mood You could almost forget bout all the other things Like a big old ominous cloud in my periphery"

Sometimes, against all expectations and a desire to stay in bed, you have a “golden run”. Loved this today #trailrunning #yorkshire

A spring day to remember at Mên-an-Tol on the wonderful Penwith moors, 2021 #standingstonesunday #cornwall

Happy Saturday! 🎶

A Bangles #trailrunning banger for battling today’s horrible freezing cold winds The forecast was a -6 “feels like” and it does feel like that 🥶
