Very goose-heavy walk along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal today.

Ribblehead at dusk. Good for the soul.

Would love to have a pootle round the Dales in this old beauty. Looking very smart for 46 years old.

This fine specimen turned up in our garden a couple of hours ago and has stood there looking puzzled ever since. Lost his flock perhaps?

Grim in the Dales today. Summer feels like a distant memory. The daily walk is getting less enjoyable.

Just rewards following a fantastic season for Ingleton Cricket Club. Head and shoulders above everyone else this year.

Nice spend a few minutes watching this grey heron across the Leeds Liverpool Canal this afternoon. I love their unhurried elegance.

Biarritz. Nice vibe. And excellent food.

Great to spend a couple of hours in the company of these magnificent birds. Could have watched them all day.

Best way to beat the heat? Keep moving. youtu.be/keEz8ZDgaV0?...

Why do I always have the wrong lens on my camera when one of these beautiful birds comes close? #curlew

Very early hog in the garden this evening. Must be hungry. #hedgehog

More aggro in the dining room. Every night at the moment. Lots of hungry hedgehogs about.

A rare pleasant evening in the Dales.

Who doesn’t need a drink on a Friday night? #hedgehog

Slightly different approaches to reaching 214 for 4. #cricket

My new favourite flower in our garden. Beautiful shape and colour.

A white and pink osteospermum (African daisy) flower.

Lovely day to be playing at my favourite ground.

More argy bargy in the dining room last night.

My favourite time of year up here. For a couple of weeks, the Dales are carpeted with millions (billions?) of bluebells, and when the sun hits them, it's just magical. I had Oxenber Woods pretty much to myself this evening too.

Another sunny day… The Thruxton enjoyed its maritime odyssey.

Matt Young @dalestranslator.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Sunny day, dry roads, no urgent deadlines… vroom vroom. A quick blast through two of my favourite dales.

We have our first customer of the evening. #hedgehog

A beautiful evening for a stroll through a deserted Blea Moor. Nothing to disturb the birdsong.

Matt Young @dalestranslator.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Lots of hedgehog visits every night now. They’re eating me out of house and home.

A few photos from the fine city of Lincoln. Really enjoyed our time here.

Some ,ahem, experimental photos from this morning’s jaunt round Ingleton’s waterfalls trail.

Winter not quite over in the Dales.

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Thoroughly enjoying the audiobook of “With a Little Help from Their Friends”, but did you catch a horrible cold between narrating chapters 84 and 85? I thought there was a change of narrator!
