Had no idea Pete's Eats had reopened!
Not sure I've been more sad about a place closing as I was for Pete's, it was a unique place and a local institution, but truthfully it struggled after it changed owners.
Best of luck to the new team! Will visit soon.

Pete’s Eats, north Wales’ famous climbers’ cafe, reopens its doors

This one is finished now…..I think! A few days of fiddling with it, but it’s time to stop.
Now to frame and put on my website.
Titled, ‘Spirit of Winter’ I hope it conjures up the feel of cold darker days on Dartmoor.

The more I read about the Hong Kong fire, the more horrified I am... just awful.
Thoughts with the families affected and the fire crews who responded... dealing with a single high rise fire would be complex and gruelling enough but 7 burning simultaneously is just unimaginable.

A very damp, cold start to today's #MondayMorningBikeClub ride with sheets of grey rain billowing in off the moor and turning the lanes to rivers.
Took the Stooge out for a spin for the first time in ages to turn up the brightness, and it seems to have done the trick - sun is out now.

Those who know me IRL probably know that I'm bit obsessed with this bit of the moor where the vast forestry plantation of Fernworthy rubs up against Dartmoor proper.
It's a weird place of often unsettling contrasts, but that perimeter wall is also a reassuring handrail when the weather turns sour.

100% worth the complete soaking that inevitably follows being caught out on the moor in light conditions like this.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Unlike Gill, Farage is an open-source Kremlin shill.
Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

A big part of my social feeds this week is people sharing anecdotes about Mani's humour, generosity and warmth... music aside, if you're going to have a legacy then that's surely the one to have, isn't it?

For reasons of general crapness, tonight was my first bike ride home from work in the dark this winter.
I stopped in the dark lanes somewhere just outside Chagford on the way back and turned my lights off for a few minutes and oh my gosh, the sky was really quite something...

The Stone Roses came out the summer I turned 17. I'd just started playing bass and tried my best to learn all of the lines from the record.
For lots of reasons that album meant the world to me at the time - it was a soundtrack to big parts of my life and still is.
