Although personally I prefer roche moutonnées 😜

I’m also rather surprised that neither of my two offspring, both of whom who have 2:1 degrees in geography have heard of them πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

With apologies to my Threads followers who are on here and will have already seen these, some shots from a day trip to Tenby earlier this week.

The juxtaposition of elements in this shot is quite remarkable!

Ah, @quintinlake.bsky.social!
Missed you since I departed Twitter last year and didn’t think to look here as I’m mostly on Threads !
Looking forward to getting to grips with this!
Spookily, opened at a completely random page - and it was my local bit of coast!

Pleased to have β€œfound” you again.

Well it’s been raining here all morning - and likely to continue all day. We needed this, but no golf, no faffing around in the garden*. Fed up already! πŸ˜‚

* Yes, I could do both in the rain, but let’s face it, it wouldn’t be much fun.

Strange round of golf today. Felt I played reasonably well but the scorecard definitely shows otherwise! One OB, one in the water, one in the woods and a couple of 3 putts will do that to your score πŸ˜‚

Nice (but cautious) drive up the Long Mynd near Church Stretton, to finish off our weekend in the Ludlow area. Fabulous views and friendly horses who thought we might have some food for them (we didn’t).

In Ludlow for the weekend. Been a fab day exploring this lovely town in weather that’s usually reserved for summer!

So far I’ve got them down to an offer of what I pay now for the next 2 years, although I’m almost certainly going to ditch their fibre broadband for another provider which looks like saving me Β£15 a month compared to what I pay now.
Shysters all of them.

Sorry to be missing the comp this year, but I’ve deleted my Twatter account.
Looking forward to seeing the #StileCup make it to Threads, or if necessary Bluesky in the future!
