Getting older and grumpier. Fed up by the ongoing decline of my world. So I'll sometimes find it difficult to avoid politics.
I do love nature, culture and travel and so that's where I'll probably post most.
Photos mostly taken on my phone!

Reminder that # Edinburgh, when it tries, is magnificent.

It does kinda feel that we are in a post-truth world where nobody (well 2/3rds) dont take any accountability for knowing facts anymore. Just listen to their chosen echo chamber.

Live music, and live theatre, are incredibly inspiring. I can't play any instruments so I'm blown away with the skills of seriously talented musicians. Last night at Southside of the Tracks in @thequeenshall.bsky.social was really special.
Brilliant show.

Winter has arrived in #Edinburgh.
Snow is dangerous and disruptive in so many places just now, but beautiful here...if you don't need to go to work.
We're lucky that we can safely experience a winter walk in the city!

Thank you @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social for cleaning up so quickly.
We live beside a school. Why don't pupils care about their environment? Is it (1) Poor education; or (2) lack of understanding of the social.and environmental.impact of littering? It's both of course, but why does this appear a peculiarly Scottish/UK problem?

I feel quite sorry for our fox friends in winter. They have a hard life and don't have many friends.
This cute guy watched us carefully as we passed by in the Grange area of #edinburgh last night.

For all the beauty of the East Lothian coast, there is the ongoing issue of litter and broken glass on the beaches. It's selfish, reckless, anti-social and ignorant to drop/break glass on the seashore.
Today's small collection from the West Beach at #NorthBerwick.
