This brown hare was as surprised as I was when I stumbled across it while trying to photograph swallows. We stared at each other just long enough for me to change settings and record the encounter.
Immediately after, its ears pricked up and it shot into the undergrowth.

A patterned background illustration with a photo of Cryogeyser overlaid. Above that the artist's name in capital letters and at the top of the graphic The End of the Road logo and the dates it's taking place (28th-31st August 2025)

Cryogeyser’s sound is all emotion and atmosphere – shoegaze haze, grunge weight, and trip-hop shimmer. Their self-titled third album floats from heavy drones to whispered vulnerability. Back after four years, they’re heavier, dreamier, and more expansive than ever.

Wonderful to see @abeewords.bsky.social ‘s Displeasure Island on prominent display at The White Horse Bookshop on Marlborough High Street — right at home!

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Technically the UK version of this isn’t for a while but who cares!? My shops are @bertsbooks.bsky.social and The White Horse Bookshop. Both stock my books, which is very nice of them. 📚💙
