Once again finishing up wine started yesterday. A South Australian Shiraz. Not quite as beefy as I was expecting when I had it with steak yesterday #ConfinedCocktails (now with photo)

#UnconfinedWalks the Thames (with rowers) just before heading out on a Moloko ride to Cobham (and back) this morning

#UnconfinedWalks managed to dodge the rain again. Still quite a blustery wind though

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

#UnconfinedWalks out of the flat at 06:30 this morning to join what definitely felt like winter morning laps. Beautiful though (photos around 8am when I was on my way home again)

#UnconfinedWalks rain stopped just in time. Deer definitely getting frisky

#UnconfinedWalks Cloud starting to build up this evening (after early fog). New park hazard, someone trying to skateboard down the steepest hill in the park on the wrong side of the road. Also saw a rider almost taken out by a stag

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

#UnconfinedWalks today out at lunchtime on another lovely autumn day. Pausing as so often with the view down to Pen Ponds over grassland interspersed with bracken. The deer were elsewhere today though

#UnconfinedWalks Yesterday to St Giles Cripplegate in the Barbican to sing in a concert marking the 150th anniversary of the Whitechapel Mission. Today home across Richmond Park on a lovely sunny afternoon after the earlier mist and fog (around the Thames) had cleared

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

#UnconfinedWalks a lunchtime outing today. One absolute unit red deer stag seeing off a couple of smaller contenders

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks 1st part of journey home completed, riding back to Moreton-in-Marsh and now on a slightly delayed service back to Paddington

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks and finally, a bit more of a look around Stow-in-the-Wold

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks Weather not so good today, but once we’d finished rehearsing I still headed off, and in large part off road visited Temple Guiting and Guiting Power (good hymn tune)

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks yesterday, a ride around local back roads and tracks

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks the rest of the way to our accommodation for the weekend and settling in

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks gravel wheels on ready for the weekend and round the Tamsin Trail

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks a quick sit down to eat a sandwich between a colleague’s leaving drinks and a rehearsal

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Nah. Just a straight whisky thanks

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks part 2 today. A sunset ride over to ringing practice. Complete with sunset colours, a half moon, bellowing stags and chatty little owls. Only sunset and stag pictured though

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks Usual Sunday stuff, plus small group rehearsal for next weekend’s trip so cam back along the Tamsin Trail

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

#ConfinedCocktails finishing off the bottle of wine opened yesterday. An Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon “Zorro Salvaje” (wild fox)

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Bit behind on #UnconfinedWalks posts (and there were a couple of days this week that I was out but didn’t take photos). So, Tuesday, sunset over Pen Ponds in Richmond Park, Thursday just a little earlier crossing over Richmond Lock on my way to a rehearsal, yesterday laps after work and the rut

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

It’s belated occurred to me that yesterday was two months since I visited the Tank Memorial outside Pozières

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#InconfinedWalks yesterday the usual silliness. Today, one last queue of the season, waiting for the doors of Holy Sepulchre London to open before the service of Thanksgiving for this year’s Proms, broadcast as today’s live choral evensong on BBC Radio 3 at 6pm

260

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks yesterday (BBC) shenanigans outside the Albert Hall in preparation for the Last Night. This morning the usual early start to join the Last Night queue

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks and then today I actually had to go into the office for the first time in weeks (big refurb underway, not enough desks available currently) and it was tipping it down. Had cleared up nicely this evening though

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks and yesterday the Munich Phil. Plus Martha Argerich still playing wonderfully at 85

120

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

#UnconfinedWalks from Berlin Phil to Liverpool Phil (the first orchestra I heard live). And from the Beethoven violin concerto to the Britten

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

A day behind but here are some genuine French teasels at Le Tréport back in July for yesterday’s #JacobinDay

@yrieithydd.bsky.social how would you translate the inscription on this headstone (near that of our great-great-uncle). It doesn’t seem to be a direct quote from the Lord’s Prayer, but seems to be referencing “thy will be done” in some way, but I’m not sure of the exact sense

A headstone in Heilly Station Cemetery, Méricourt l’Abbé, Somme. It bears the names of Sapper RJ Parry, Royal Engineers; Private JG Taylor, Northumberland Fusliers and Serjeant Charles William Cole, King’s Royal Rifle Corps. Below Parry’s name is the inscription (in Welsh) “Dy ewyllys di a wneler”

#UnconfinedWalks coming back home through Richmond Park earlier

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks couldn’t entirely avoid the rain yesterday, but a wonderful Prom with the Oslo Philharmonic, conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla and joined by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

#UncomfinedWalks yesterday, mostly stayed dry on my way to the Albert Hall

120

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks back to the Albert Hall for more American music

151

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks a rather ragged robin as I was about to start my ride home

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks no photos yesterday. Today, brief cycle down to Teddington Lock after a quartet rehearsal earlier

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks Last night Glyndebourne came to the Proms, so we went to the champagne bar. Tonight jazz mode, marking the centenary of Miles Davis. Got thoroughly soaked cycling in too, which was glorious!

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks change of office today, singing evensong at St Paul’s at 5pm with Peterborough Chamber Choir so a Monday ride into the City as we’d also arranged to take advantage of the free tour offered to visiting choirs

David Underdown @davidunderdown.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

#UnconfinedWalks today, after my initial journeys to-and-fro across London, taking a quiet moment with a glass of white ahead of today’s Prom
