Charlotte Baker @cb123456.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I happened to capture this photo while cycling to the nearest town to me in the New Forest. It’s a quiet back route between small villages & hamlets - and a great example of what can happen on low-traffic rural lanes. ✅ Walking ✅ Horse-riding/walking ✅ Cycling ✅ Driving - carefully as a ‘guest’ 193

Reposted by Charlotte BakerRobert Knight @rupertairbear.bsky.social · 05/11/2025It's amazing how much of a difference the congestion charge in Oxford has made. The roads are much quieter, it's so easy driving around the city centre now and being able to keep to time. My job has become less stressful. 2667
