7 days in to this Sheffield snowfall, it’s just as difficult to get around the city, but incredibly beautiful as a consolation prize ❄️🥶

An inspirational tale for aspiring journalists. Remember, if you're a sibling of the former Prime Minister, and close personal friends with the current editor of your favourite magazine, and his ex-wife, you too can achieve your childhood dream of becoming its columnist

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

First snow of winter in Sheffield…November snow is quite rare, and from my recall it doesn’t necessarily indicate a cold winter ahead. November snow in some years has been the only white stuff we end up seeing all season. Let’s see what lies ahead 🤔❄️

‘Winter’ morning sunrises are always spectacularly beautiful…reminding me that even in the dark season there can be a few rays of hope. Something tells me, we’ll need a few hopeful rays in the coming dark times, with the haters in the ascendancy.

All the wild moods of North Donegal during an early autumn spell of turbulent weather 🌊

A cold feed of northwesterly winds all the way from the Arctic, bringing pure, crisp air, 50 mph gusts and no doubt a few beefy showers before too long. In the meantime breathing in the September sun in Fanad.

Fanad in North Donegal, during a stormy, chilly autumn blast. My favourite place on the planet!

‘Home’ for a jaunt, and enjoying the view of the River Maine, in Randalstown, its bridge and the railway viaduct above.
