More of literally the finest Alfa Romeo content on Bluesky. This lovely Alfasud was basking in the morning sun at Aviemore a couple of weeks ago.

Certainly was a rainy / sunny / misty / clear / chilly / humid evening the other day out at Dalby Forest. The red phonebox at Bickley Gate looked like it had come from another planet in the midst of all the green.

Les Drus under a pristine autumn sky, last year. While the weather was spectacular, I missed the early snowfall from the year before.

The excellent @themodernist.bsky.social shop keeping me out of mischief until train time. I'd better apologise right now if the need to own an Arndale Tower lamp gets a bit too much.

Cool cars redux: random grab bag. The parking ticket on the new Lancia somehow makes it cooler, as did the fact the Interceptor lives down a medieval street in York. Nice little runabout 🙃

You pop out to the pub for a quick pint...But you're in Milan, so the pub is a rooftop bar literally made out of Aperol and mid century optimism which has its own reflecting pool.

You're waiting for the bus... But you're in Milan, so the bus is actually a stately vintage tramcar.

It's been a pleasure to spend time with this beautiful machine this weekend.

The record shop delivered solid gold today. I've been listening to Sibelius's 5th on my phone for the last few weeks, but this is so, so much better. I don't know the science, but this feels like I'm in the room with the orchestra. Beautiful.

Back from the paint shop (WRP Paint and Restoration - m.facebook.com/profile.php?... - who were amazing), and looking like new. I will probably get bored at some point of looking at its suddenly perfect paint. But not yet. #vanagon #vanlife #vwvan #westfalyeah #nationalparks #redwoods #getoutside

On the way home from the curry house: a tree slyly unfurling its leaves, the moon and an airliner crossing in front of it.

Growing up, the cars I loved were basically all Giorgetto Giugiaro's handiwork, although I didn't know it at the time; but I didn't realise these lovely Alfasud coupés even existed until last weekend.

Not all heroes wear capes.

It is 75 days since it stopped being ok to drink this eggy goop. But the job's done at last.

"The perfect Sunday breakfast spot doesn't exi-"

The gentle beauty of breakfast at Sheffield's Cafe #9 on a warm spring morning. Justifiably revered.

The kind of mountain scenery that is so otherworldly it could start a new religion. Les Drus, autumn 2023, looking more like they are suspended from above than supported from below.

Staircase jealousy. The Creative Centre at York St. John at last autumn's Aesthetica film festival (asff.co.uk/festival/) giving off some lovely midcentury vibes.

Before breakfast, which is my excuse for not lining this up properly. Peterborough Cathedral, looking magnificent, milky and a little bit mad in the morning light.
