Special day yesterday, celebrating the #PennineWay 60th. I sang about my dad, the dalesman hefted to the hillsides. Great to see how the "Long Green Trail" continues to "inspire and invigorate". @yorkshiredales.org.uk @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @anitasethi.bsky.social @nationaltrailsuk.bsky.social

This is simply gorgeous. Thanks Ben's Dad for caring for our paths.

Good advice Mike. With this in mind it's been great to make this video with my dad over the last few days. A song about him and the Pennine Way: youtu.be/zpvMzoebdvA?...
Any xmas folk session planned?

YouTube video by Ben Avison Making Memories on the Pennine Way

I made a song and video about where I grew up, on the Pennine Way. With a cameo from dad, who maintained the path for a living. It was quite emotional making it; I hope you like it.

Today’s poem is called ‘Monetisation’.

Well done Prime Minister for reopening constructive dialogue with PRC. We have to keep talking with all our trading partners, despite differences.

Oops, I must have ticked the box that said I like pictures of cats. Tell me it gets better.
