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.

“Go slowly, go gently, take photos, have courage.” Fab. Also I want a flowered basket now! 20210511

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

Table runner with 🇯🇵Japanese fabrics & #sash 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

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 findi 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
