LISTEN to this. Every damn minute. That’s all.

#MakeShakespeareAntipodean “Et tu, Bruce?”

Now over 100,000 signatures! By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK - now let’s have that debate and an honest and open discussion about this petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I have a tradition on FB of making my predictions for the new year. They are hit and miss TBF but I thought I’d share them on this platform too.

How festive 🎄. I’m sitting in the front room of our apartment and can hear the York Minster bells ringing, calling the faithful to the Christmas Day service. Bloody annoying, I’ve had to turn the Iron Maiden up. Seasonal cheers to all 🥂

Some overnight rain made for a squelchy #ChristmasEve walk this afternoon. This is a ploughed field near the village of Crayke in North #Yorkshire. #photography #landscapephotography

Just caught up with James Fox’s “The Program” 🛸 Excellent documentary. Highly recommended. youtu.be/neZf96sTa8w?...

I got the Escape from Colditz game for 🎅 1975 (I think). It took most of the holiday to read and understand the complicated rules & nobody ever wanted to be the German guards. The board was so big you needed a large family table to set it up on (fortunately I was part of a big family). Great game 👍

I was reading that this 2001 rendition of Fear of the Dark by #IronMaiden is widely regarded as the best recorded live rock performance ever. 250,000 fans singing along, it takes some beating. Feel free to convince me otherwise. #UpTheIrons youtu.be/PpbnubVOjPY?...

I like December light in northern England. You go for an afternoon walk and the sun is already thinking about setting (assuming you can see the sun because it’s usually too cloudy). #photography

Finally got to catch-up with Ian Beesley’s exhibition - “Life Goes On” - at Salt’s Mill near Bradford. Well worth a visit. Some great work in an inspiring space. #photography

I’m finding these #drone incursions, over military bases, increasingly interesting. Turns out it’s occurring across the world and, “some of them are as big as houses”. A real mystery which doesn’t seem to be getting as much mainstream attention as it should. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...
