Beautiful snowy scenes up here in Scotland (looking towards Ben Lui near Crianlarich).

Love travel? Love adventure? Intrigued by cultures that are unfamiliar? Looking for Christmas gift ideas? I thoroughly recommend this book by @helenwatsonwriter.bsky.social

Schade

I love strong coffee - and the cake looks good.

Do you know the work of Morag Paterson and Ted Leeming? I love their abstract/impressionistic photography. They're on Instagram @leemingpaterson.

Hi, I've emailed you.

A fictional illustration: The Monumental Arch Palmyra, Syria with high mountains behind it and a sunset made out of a Central Asia tile design with a hoopoe flying next to it. Two heavily laden bicycles with red panniers are cycling through the arch.

Congratulations on the TV series of Leonard and Hungry Paul. I absolutely loved it and will get the book now!

I need to get a copy. Enjoying the televised series. Not sure how true to the book it is, but I will find out!

Irish English? I ask as an Irish person. I don't remember many dialogue words in it. Just curious!

Not quite. Broughty Ferry. Love Angus.

Exciting to see my latest edition of Slow Peak District guide hitting the shelves. Huge thanks to @bradtguides.bsky.social for their contribution to bringing those edition to fruition; a pleasure to work with as always.

Happy International Beaver Day! 🦫 Beavers are more than just adorable faces; they’re true eco-engineers! In the wild, beavers build dams and lodges and help create wetlands that support hundreds of other species and improve water quality.

Interesting place. The original wooden structure was burned down l, allegedly by locals if I remember correctly.

St Cyrus Beach in Aberdeenshire. The sun fought the haar but the haar won! Still a great day out with a bacon roll at Johnshaven to set us up for our beach walk.

Ah, beautiful Schaffhausen

Opposite the port of Montrose in Ferryden (Angus), there are washing lines adjacent to old fishing cottages stretching out over the South Esk Estuary. Is there anywhere else in the UK with such an unusual wash-day setup?

Well done!

Oh no. Get well soon.

I'm not abandoning FB but I'm hoping Bluesky will be less toxic.

Me too. I'm on my second course of antibiotics. Slowly get some energy 🤞

Great. That's what I was hoping for!

Thank you Sophie. Looking forward to seeing your fantastic photos.

Hello Bluesky. Hello spring!

Hi Pete. Found you!
