Decided to cycle to the garage to collect my car yesterday. What a view! Cycling gives you the chance to see things you miss everyday in a car. How easy it is to just stop and take a moment. #cycling #Bedfordshire #photography

The gate house at Wallington National Trust, Northumberland. Such a great site with a different view around every corner. #photography #NationalTrust #Wallington #Northumberland

'Reclining Nude' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Live Oak wood with keyboard key. And.... another 'torso' spoon carved in Serviceberry wood (very underappreciated wood). #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #woodworking #design #carving #sculpture #torso #nude #woodenspoon 🥄

A Hellebore in the woods at Wallington National Trust in Northumberland. Such a beautiful place. Currently filled with snowdrops and Crocus. #photography #hellebore #NationalTrust #Wallington

'Leopard Lizard' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Brown Mallee burl (if I remember right). Wood is from Australia. One of the 'Lizard Series'. #spoon #spoontaneous #craft #art #design #woodworking #sculpture #lizard #woodenspoon #carving 🦎 🥄

Some of the most striking crepuscular rays I have seen, amongst the company of some old Scots pine trees. #landscapephotography #nature #scotland #scotspine

Hmmm….. just realised that an anagram of MAGA and DOGE is Demagoga - Ancient Greek for mob leader. Coincidence?

That moment when you’re at work and remember too late that your trouser fastening is a button not a popper! 🫣

Latest woodworking session - an egg stand for a friend at work. Beech and reclaimed Meranti (probably). A fun little project with minimal joinery. #woodworking #eggstand #beech #meranti

Light on the land. #photography

Boosting Bikeability with virtual learning 🎮🔧 Thanks to @therstrust.bsky.social funding, we’ve created virtual games to reinforce cycle skills beyond Bikeability. With these challenges, children can stay road-ready after their training, and score their school some points! See the games in action 👇

By me: Cycle paths are pointless if women don't feel safe using them at night. If you want to give people the choice to cycle, there need to be good options for everyone (note: I had the headline amended as research shows almost a quarter of routes are deemed socially unsafe after dark, not half)

@siobhandotblack.bsky.social Have you created any work with Hostas? I love the structure of their leaves especially with water droplets. I’d love to see what you create with that.

Men. Basically, wtf is wrong with you? If you see this, and you must, you have to speak up and speak out www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

More runways , more planes , more fossil fuels . It’s not just sitting idly by , it’s actively accelerating climate collapse in the reckless pursuit of growth in archaic industries instead of a rapid transition to a green economy .

#Fog is quite a rare occurrence where I live. I had previsualized this shot for quite some time, but in the end it took me more than 4 years to get the right conditions. Patience and persistence definitely pays dividends in #landscapephotography! #woodlands #photography #fall #autumn

The sunset from our hotel window in New York a few years back. The colours were just stunning. #photography #NewYork

New York seems to offer something from every angle. This was the view from our hotel room. #photography #NewYork

“The removal of Radio 3 drama effectively wipes out the only platform for 90-minute full-length radio plays in the UK, which the BBC has pioneered for years…”

St Mary’s Lighthouse- Whitely Bay. I lived there juxtaposition of the two jets flying in opposite directions and the old, stone buildings. #photography #iphonephotography #whitelybay #northumberland

Glorious weather this morning. We have a lightning stop in Northumberland this weekend and the lighthouse beckoned. #photography #northumberland #StMarysLighthouse

A little tray for a friend at work. Can’t lie, it’s not been fun in the shed the last few days. I’m off to stand in front of the open fridge door to warm up! #woodworking

I’m lucky to be able to shoot backstage sometimes. You get great stories and another perspective. This was a tech rehearsal for Follies in a regional theatre. Shot on an iPhone. #blackandwhitephotography #b&wphotography #photography #theatre #amateurtheatre

After some careful testing I can confirm that , whilst both are excellent on their own, Guinness Zero and Jaffa Cakes do not make a good drink/food pairing! However, I’m willing to try it again later - for science.😜
