Here

Lately this is mostly a feed of no, I have had it with feeds, let’s make this site actually have the things I get up to, and find interesting, amusing or timewasting in other places.

There

You can find me on goodreads, flickr, twitter, facebook, ravelry and pinterest among others, but I’m more at home here in my own space than in those other places.

Table runner with 🇯🇵Japanese fabrics & #sashiko embroidery. From a kit by #eurojapanlinks bought at the #festivalofquilts a couple of years ago. I made it reversible by making up a similar pattern out of some @modafabrics #modaelementary fabrics. Think it probably needs a little more quilting for longevity. #patchwork #quilting #tablerunner #sewing

I almost forgot to take any photos; here’s an action shot of me flying over the handlebars though 😃 Wasn’t impressed with #ncn62 north of Oxspring so took a different route; #a628 wasn’t the best choice. #electricbike #pedelec #oxygenbicycles #nationalcyclenetwork #sustrans #cycling #transpenninetrail

Another amble around Leeds. I should have taken a photo of the shiny “cycle superhighway” sign. It was how you could tell it wasn’t just another badly specced cycle path that occasionally turned into a pavement. I jest a little, I’ll take all the cycle infrastructure I can get but I’ll dream of getting back to the Netherlands sometime! #nationalcyclenetwork #ncn688 #ncn677 #cs2 #cyclesuperhighway2 #leeds #electricbike #oxygenbicycles #cycling

Lovely amble around Leeds - almost ruined by finding a huge narrow long set of stairs on #ncn67 thankfully a young woman helped me up with my heavy #electricbike or I think I’d have to have had a very long detour. I thought I was heading towards a retail park at one point but it turned out to be the motorway services (and I wasn’t the only non motorist there!) And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real live Pegasus crossing before. #pedelec #oxygenbicycles #nationalcyclenetwork #ncn66 #westyorkshirecycleroute #leedsandliverpoolcanal #airevalleytowpath #leeds

In a change from cycle path barriers you can’t cycle past, today we have a footpath barrier I could have cycled under 😄 (I walked though 😇) #cycling #ebikes #pedelec

WoW. That’s the Wonders of Wakefield waymarked cycle route. One of the wonders is predictably “I wonder what happened to a lot of the waymarks?”. Actually it was a very pleasant ride! #cycling #pedelecs #oxygenbicycles #electricbikes #ebike #wakefield #wondersofwakefield #yorkshire
