Does anyone know of a decent couch to 5k programme? 🤣 (Long way from all those 'short runs' of 10k a lifetime ago) Did my pt after the run! Swimming on the other hand isnt going so well #couchto2k #jogging #marathonswimming #soltosil

IMMENSE amble half a mile from home as t'crow flies (or more if it's scaring a buzzard off)

Dead bracken in the foreground with a yew casting a shadow on it, and your truly wandering into the distance

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

Moved house in October and winter has not been without challenges. However....

Beauty and the beast (it's not, theyre both beauties)

White blackthorn blossom with a backdrop of a field and blue sky with a white clous

Orange slime - (Fusicolla merismoides).
It is not a true slime mold, but rather a fungus and yeast complex that colonizes sap leaking from wounds on hardwood trees or stumps. This one is on a tree stump

What can you find flowering in woodland? That’s the challenge this week from Wildflowerhour! Post your finds using the hashtag #WoodlandPlants for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm. Happy flower-hunting!

Pictured is the beautiful Wood Sorrel, Oxalis acetosella. Many of the gorgeous plants to be found in woodland are ancient woodland indicators, as they grow and spread slowly over many years. Why not visit your local patch and see what you can find for #wildflowerhour this Sunday 8-9pm!

Within 200 metres of home. The beauty of nature - life and death 😔

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Top day seeing l'al sis and the Cumberland/Westmorland wrestling exhibition at Grizedale! Including some amazing stuff from mates @chrisroutledge.bsky.social @lizziwake.bsky.social!

A black and white photograph shows two wrestlers at Grasmere sports day with a referee looking on and a large audience in the background

Series of paintings in vivid colours depict cumberland and westmorland wrestling. Amazing that seemingly blocky images can portray movement

Spelk is strips of oak woven together. Probably got that wrong and sister will kick me... but theyre amazing tactile pieces of functional craft

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Imagine the worst tourist attraction you've never been to. A mining museum, petting zoo, gift shop, and café, mixed with some mild peril and a dollop of Welsh weather. Welcome to Valley World. There are no warthogs, it's a spelling mistake.
