🚨 AURORA ACTIVE 🚨
Clear skies? Get out and look north! Aurora is very active and is starting to be seen across the UK where weather allows.
Good luck!

Always find it striking seeing the remnants of what was before in dense-planted forestry plantations.
On a gloomy day, this mossy old-growth tree almost had a sci-fi radioactive glow reaching out from the dark.

Northern Dartmoor. To be honest I can't remember quite where but does it matter? Low cloud, rolling hills, winter grass. North Dartmoor being North Dartmoor.

Made it up to the remains of Laughter Hole Farm from Bellever today.
Every time I go there it seems to be have regressed further into the surrounding dense. lichen-clad woodland.
Even the steel security fence around the farm buildings is now being colonised!

Funny, isn't it?
All the loudest voices shrieking on about sovereignty and democratic independence back in the Brexit years are EXACTLY the same ones now saying we need to bend over backwards to appease the capricious halfwit currently occupying the White House.

Anyway, Dartmoor has a face on today, I've not taken any photos in an age so I'm going to attempt to take my camera for a (v slow and wobbly) walk for the first time since my mountain mishap.

A parable for our times.
A cast of libertarian, free-market techbro chancers with huge wads of cash but no actual clue how the real world works meet the harsh wall of reality.
It'd be funny if such people weren't actively shaping global policy now...

Oh yeah they are truly beyond the pale. Reminds me of the time a bunch of these fools bought a cruise ship to set up a ‘tech utopia’ . Unsurprisingly it didn’t go well www.theguardian.com/news/2021/se...
The disastrous voyage of Satoshi, the world’s first cryptocurrency cruise ship
The long read: Last year, three cryptocurrency enthusiasts bought a cruise ship. They named it the Satoshi, and dreamed of starting a floating libertarian utopia. It didn’t work out

This didn't get a lot of attention when it was first reported but it seems relevant to reshare it now.
At this stage I really don't think we can overestimate how utterly batshit the people pulling Trumps strings are.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

If Dominie is playing anywhere near you, then you should definitely go.
"In This Body Lives" is one of my favourite records of 2025, and the launch gig at the Drewe Arms was genuinely one of my live music highlights of the year too.

Not normally a huge fan of 6Music retrospectives, but today's 90s Forever is delivering some properly Proustian moments - particularly some of the dancefloor orientated stuff (I wonder why that is 🤔?).
I know nostalgia is a terrible thing, but when I look back - we had it pretty good, didn't we?
