These quotes from Victory in Australia, The Remarkable Story of England’s Greatest Ashes Triumph 1954-55 by @rwhitehead2.bsky.social probably sum up England’s chances for the 2025-26 Ashes, just change Bedster for Atkinson.

Really enjoyed @atticalocke.bsky.social Black Water Rising - brought civil rights America, 80s political intrigue with and corporate oil money alive with a great thriller.

People massively underestimate the importance of joy in life.

Its the aim. Everything else is, broadly, secondary. Joy and leaving the world a better place

In Syd’s Voice with @deanbwilson.bsky.social is a cracking read about a cricketer who made a difference. The exploration of racism is outstanding. Maybe David Lawrence would have had a bigger impact as a fast bowler in a today’s environment. Definitely worth a read.

My first cricket book - Gordon Ross writes…

β€œThe slow over rate has developed into brinksmanship and gamesmanship of the very worst order, depriving the spectator (who pays quite expensively for his cricket, these days) of his proper ration of entertainment”

The Lone Wolf is such an enjoyable read. It’s a thoughtful exploration of the story a Wolf travelling through Southern Europe but also a sympathetic understanding of the complexities facing rural communities, migration, nostalgia, folklore and societal change.

Lots of questions for all of us.

YouTube video by BrynnaCC "Stay Small" - 2025 Music Video

It's been a pretty hard year so this music video took a lot longer to finish than the other ones. My animations just aren't built for the algorithm but I hope you'll take the time to watch this one anyway. πŸ’™

As a perfect companion to my spring effort to climb all the Wainwrights I’ve been reading English Pastoral by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social It’s such an inspiring analysis and manifesto for the beautiful Lake District landscape and beyond.
