A few days of sunrises and sunsets. Faraway spring tides, ice pops, warm pack ups, factor 50 and beautiful, beautiful North Yorkshire. Reighton Gap is a slice of perfection 💙

Dear Spaceman, what brings you to Hornsea? I’m here for the charity shops and a bite to eat Floral Hall isn’t far, their cheesy paninis go down a treat… @holdernessnews.bsky.social

🥶One of my favourite photographs I took of St. Mary's Abbey in York reminds me of Camus: "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." 🌞

It's difficult not to have a spring in your step on the snowdrop walk at Burton Agnes Hall 🤍
Loads and loads of snowdrops on the floor of the woodland.Somemore bright white snowdrops in the woodland.An entire carpet of snowdrops.

Spurn making my heart flip.
An empty, rubbly beach that leads to Spurn Point. The North Sea to the left and sun to the right, just breaking through a cloudy sky.

I'm eating toast with the ferocity of an 18yo me who's just got in from a house party after Spiders. Shout out quick if you want any. I'm making my way towards the crust with alarming speed.

Two outstanding bookshouts, both recently listened to on Audible. 'Ootlin' by #JenniFagan narrated by Isis Hainsworth and 'The Coast Road' by #AlanMurrin narrated by Jessica Regan. Both incredible, palpable and necessary.
The front cover of 'Ootlin' by Jenni Fagan shows a toddler in a winter coat and bobble hat.The front cover of 'The Coast Road' by  Alan Murrin shows an isolated single house with the backdrop of the sea.

Happy Imbolc! This old Celtic festival marks the start of spring, the beginning of the lambing season, and may have been dedicated to a goddess called Brigit, later St Brigid - the first female saint in Irish literature.

I'm sorry in advance if I offend anyone, but I severely dislike the word 'gifted' as a verb. It provokes bubbling feelings in me. This is about as controversial as I'll get, bluesky followers.
