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.

trying to figure out where photos were taken – your own old ones maybe – is a fun bit of research, but this story takes geolocation from an image to a whole new level 20210505

Blowing away the cobwebs, or maybe just blowing away the packet of whisky fudge I had for breakfast. Though I have frozen my brain coming downhill into an icy wind and now think maybe whisky *and* fudge would make a good lunch? #cycling #ncn68

Relieved to have our ⚡️power back! The humans weren’t allowed near the gas 🔥fire but Ajay 🐈 found her way in. #powercut #stormarwen #hecaresabouttheplantsmorethanthehumans #houseplants

About half a blanket. Made with leftover yarns (and beads) from old projects and patterns from @debbieabrahams_knitting books. Think I’m going to knit another lot like this in slightly different colours and then figure out how to put it all together. #knitting #blanketknitting #blanketsandthrows #afghanknitting #knittingwithbeads

2000 miles on my bike. In just over a year. And just after I got to the top of the hill & hit stop rather than pause by accident. #oxygenbicycles #pedelec #electricbike #huddersfield #castlehillhuddersfield

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
