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.

I’ve been looking out for Millennium Mileposts on my NCN rides without success. Found a map this week and discovered that these are the closest ones to me; I haven’t been missing them they are just unevenly distributed around the network and I live in a bare patch. These two were sadly neglected with bad paint jobs, and one was missing its time trail disc. I narrowly missed a third but there is a fourth up the same path so I’ll go back another time to look! #ncn #ncn66 #nationalcyclenetwork #millenniummileposts #ebikes #pedelec #spenvalleygreenway #oxygenbicycles
