Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm blessed to have a nearly-15 year old who loves the fells as much as I do, and who is as happy on top of Nethermost Pike in cloud this year as he was in sunshine 4 years ago 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Cousin Ann's ashes laid to rest beside her mother (my great aunt), my grandparents, my father and my uncle ♥️ 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Why yes, you idiot moggy, I do have a friend with a very long ladder, and fortunately he also has infinite patience to wrestle with you 25ft off the ground to get you home safely 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Hello down there! I seem to be a little bit stuck. Any chance you have a ladder long enough to come and get me? Of course I'll co-operate, and not try and escape along a branch not strong enough for my weight, or cling fiercely to the tree with every fibre of my being when you try and pick me up. 110
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Need to go back. The boy's only climbed Bowfell once, which is not enough. 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 30/08/2025An attempt (not entirely satisfactory) at #Haweswater from the Old Corpse Road. 020
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 26/08/2025The Drunken Duck has always been a fine pub, and I started sampling their wares early. Me and my mother, 1977 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Amazing what I can do if I ignore housework, laundry, DIY and other assorted life admin 😂 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Reasonably happy with my use of my bank holiday Monday. Would rather be there in person than drawing it from the Fens, but you can't have everything! 120
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I didn't quite get the same angle in April and August, but I still rather like the contrast of blossom then sloes and the treeless branches in Spring being lush green in Summer 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Sadly I am not here. It was much nicer than work 020
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Fabulous dual-direction corner stile on Walla Crag @lakesstiles.bsky.social 170
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Histon Hornets 5-a-side football tournament... 215 teams, 593 matches, 13 pitches, 30 referees, 1500+ players, 1.5 days. And me at the helm leading an extraordinary gang of volunteers doing it all for the love of the game. Might be a bit tired now 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Birds nesting in ashtrays is going global! Scene 1: Mildenhall Town FC; Scene 2: somewhere in the Netherlands (forwarded to me by husband) 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Fermi is a standoffish and supercilious cat. So, a cat. 130
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Shady spot for the lily of the valley transplanted from my childhood home ❤️ 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Sexy pals are late bloomers. Got 6 altogether, though can't remember how many bulbs I planted 🤦♂️ 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Life as a grassroots coach... One of your players has outgrown his boots and is in pain so you lend him your boots for the game. And he scored with them on 💪 120
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 01/05/2025I've always wanted to have alliums in my garden. Aged 50, and prompted by @silverpebble2.bsky.social telling me I can buy plants for myself if I want, I planted allium bulbs this year. First one is almost out 😍 4881
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 22/04/2025A single ion arriving in our ion detection system. One ion. Been doing this for 28 years and it's still awesome. 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 21/04/2025A beautiful day yesterday at RSPB Fowlmere. Heard my first cuckoo of spring, saw my first swallow of the year and spent a while watching a gorgeous marsh harrier at closer range than I've ever had. Shame it's raining today... 040
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 17/04/2025It was a relief to see they'd dropped the speed limit on Wrynose to 30mph while there were roadworks 😆 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 16/04/2025It's important to detect any free running explosives. 130
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Home again, with a decent internet connection so can start posting photos again 😊 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 08/04/2025The nice man repairing the dry stone wall outside the cottage brought his rescued Harris Hawk to work with him today 😍 120
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Herdwick. The finest of sheep. And Dow Crags are pretty good too. 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 09/03/2025This is not what a knee normally looks like 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 19/02/2025He's a fine chap and always worth a post. Mine likes chasing footballers. 110
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 19/02/2025I think this might have to become A Thing. Development of my boy, with one of the best lumps of rock and water I know. 2011, 2020 and 2024 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Whoever coded the cat got its collision with walls wrong. Can't believe we're in the 21st century and getting such basic software errors still. 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Given you're letting whole albums in... "English Rebel Songs 1381-1914" by Chumbawamba is a fantastic musical tour through English rebellion. Very singable *and* educational (and don't make assumptions if the only Chumba song you know is Tubthumping!) 170
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 31/01/2025A friend and I have a game of "guess the cairn". When one of us is in the Lakes we send the other a photo of a cairn (or trig point) and the other has to guess which fell it's on. I was proud of getting this one first guess. 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Got to work this morning, and pretty certain my phone is giving me some kind of notification about a little cat... 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Curie loves sticks. Curie loves balls. Curie *really* loves snooker 020
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 17/01/2025South African oaks show no such respect. Here's the one in the outfield of the pitch at the Johannesburg Country Club 110
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 11/01/2025The boy's cricket bag ready for pre-season training... 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 11/01/2025The Fens (photo courtesy of a friend who actually gets up early to walk his dog) 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 11/01/2025All our football games are cancelled this morning. Can't think why... 000
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Been cleaning up my father's old watercolor set "Winsor and Newton Box No C20" containing such esoteric colours as Green Bice and Gamboge Tint. 350
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 04/01/2025But you said we were taking the decorations off the tree today. I'm just helping... 010
Caroline Lamont Smith @physicsbear.bsky.social · 03/01/2025#FingerpostFriday from last summer, but a pretty fine backdrop to a fingerpost 050
