Exploring edges of a deep hole with @shinyperson.bsky.social and @bluefox42.bsky.social. One of the seven wonders of the Peak District evidently. Eldon Hole. Insert joke about @jnadin91.bsky.social as you see fit 🤭😘

A gentle stroll through Leicestershire countryside from Groby Pool to Newtown Linford and back has helped recharge the mental batteries. And then there was cake as a reward

Indeed 😝

Lovely afternoon walking our version of the Tramway Trail (shown in pink) around the Calke Abbey estate with @youcancallmemrp.bsky.social and rewarding ourselves with cake of course.
Sorry was too busy chatting to take any scenic pics 🤭

After an 8 mile hike around the Vale of Belvoir, I think I deserve some light refreshment in the Dirty Duck
- cheers 🍻

Great afternoon up the Peak District from Carsington Water to Brassington and back with lovely company @shinyperson.bsky.social @bluefox42.bsky.social @youcancallmemrp.bsky.social

It’s official - I’m a proper grown up 😂

Love my newly acquired painting by local artist Nigel Smith. Been a huge admirer of his work, so after talking to him at this year’s Arthouse Exhibition in Leicester, I decided to commission a piece in memory of my mum who passed away recently.

Yeah one of mine too, last month it was very special at 6pm midweek with no one else there for a change

Repost with you in nature

Lud’s Church - the deep damp chasm up in the Peak District

This must be fake news as not got a bead of sweat on you 🤔🤭

It’s not everyday you take a gondola for dinner in Valletta

Warm n wet

Love the beach vibe here in Rivera Bay, Malta

I’m afraid it’s not for most

Myself and Greg sitting in front of the Triton Fountain, Valletta

At the Triton Fountain in Valletta, Malta - to put Malta into perspective Malta is 0.82 times as big as the Isle of Wight at approx 122 square miles compared to 150 square miles but it’s population is approximately 545,400 compared to 142,000

Checked out from hi-tech, glitzy hotel in Paceville ‘St Julian’s’ and checked into calm quiet townhouse in Sliema as needed some sleep and way too old to hang out with teenage clubbers screaming n shouting all night and then get woken by builders. Warning: Malta has 2 very different vibes

Tomorrow we say a final farewell to my mum.
Two weeks ago the harsh reality of adding ‘do not resusitate’ to her medical notes meant it was a shock, but at least she passed quickly and with dignity from heart failure rather than enduring what her Alzheimer’s had in store 💔

Today have done Wallington Hall and Whitley Bay as we make our way back down south - well to the Midlands anyway

Had a lovely day out on Lindisfarne Holy Island. Thanks @shinyperson.bsky.social for driving

Looks like a new gay TV show is starting soon 🤣🤣🤣

Proof that we’re proper up’North

Hello Durham. Taking a little pitstop on our way up North

After a 2 week COVID lockdown, saw mother in her care home this morning and heard her chattering away - all in gibberish of course, thanks to Alzheimer’s. At least she seems obviously happy.
She would have loved the show of roses in the garden this year and the glorious scent
