Spring Equinox bike ride blessed with sunshine 🌞

A bicycle leans against a sunlit wall, with a medieval abbey belltower visible over the wall beyond some trees.

This was a most excellent book to be snowed in with in the Highlands over the tail-end of Yuletide. A gift from @laurakaykelly.bsky.social at Christmas 2025. Maybe this is my new tradition: re-read it every year in the dark days, to remind myself the storms pass and frozen days melt away eventually.

Trip to the giant Roman soldier Silvanus' iron head at Croy back in March with @davidtdunlop.bsky.social and @laurakaykelly.bsky.social Laughed so hard I could hardly breathe. A good day. #metal people are the best 🤘

First new #UrbanPrehistory blog post for a while. Here, I reflect on two fake 'megaliths' I recently saw at a prog thrash metal gig in Glasgow, Blood Incantation. 'Because allusions to prehistory, however wrong or baffling, seem to be everywhere' theurbanprehistorian.wordpress.com/2025/12/08/b...

Not planning to overload this account with pictures of bikes (there's plenty of that elsewhere) but I like how the brittle winter trees came out against the sky in this pic during a frosty quick trip to the shop before dark this evening #trees #wintersky #eveningsky #cycling

Tree silhouettes against a fading pink and blue dusk sunset sky with a bicycle light faintly visible on the ground

A blue sky, a blue sea and my beautiful bike for my first post on BlueSky. No idea what I'm doing or how anything works on here, but life's all trial and error, eh...

A photograph showing the horizon between a blue sky with light white clouds on it and a calm blue sea, pebbles on a shingle beach, and pointing towards the shoreline the handlebars of a mountain bike
