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 & #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

Another amble around Leeds. I should have taken a 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 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
