A little more of our brilliant #Norway #kayaking trip last weekend! Aurlandsfjord and #Naeroyfjord, 150km east of Bergen. Calm water and idyllic, stunning scenery - could spend a lifetime here… but it also reminded us of the power of #nature, as the wind later blasted down from the #mountains.

Voringfossen, near Eidfjord, Vestland, Norway.
Zoom in and check out the scale! Falls themselves are 165m high - and some very precipitous viewing platforms… #waterfall #norway #autumncolours #cliffs #vestland #voringfossen

Quick dash up to the Lake District ready for a day working with @nationaltrust.org.uk tomorrow - nice pub in #Oxenholme and just had to stroll out to The Helm to walk off supper in the 9:30pm dusk.

Surveying this week at Caister Castle in #Norfolk - early brick structure from 1432, but ruined by 1600, still with moat and a climbable 100ft tower! Overnighting with old friends in the lovely Aylsham, which is the final resting place of Humphrey Repton-hope he approves of his landscaped memorial !

Coming out of ‘the office’ this evening and found myself inside the #VE80 security cordon…. So unfortunately had this view all to myself!

Out on the Thames again - dodging the rowers. More like a mid-summer morning than an April one. Light haze burning off to warm sun. #kayak #London #RiverThames #kayaking #putneybridgecanoeclub

Low sun, evening sunset, South Bank London. Time to look up and outwards, not down and inwards with the longer Spring evenings..

Sometimes, just sometimes, @bsky.app is a bit like the very old days on Twitter. On your phone on your way home on the top deck of the 77 bus to Tooting, and you can have a brief ‘chat’ with Mike Scott of the Waterboys! Has made my evening 😅 👍@mickpuck.bsky.social

Damp, cold and drizzly on the Thames this morning- but good to get some fresh air, exercise and paddling chat. And try out the new-ish club P&H Leo - nice! #putneybridgecanoeclub #RiverThames #kayak #kayaking Hot shower time now!

Wonderful evening of stories and music at @greennote.bsky.social #Camden with #TheUkrainians band - and a chat with Len Liggins & Peter Solowka after, discussing the last time I saw them in the Acoustic Tent @glastonbury.bsky.social 1992… see you in another 32 and-a-half years….

To the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for The Tempest - Sigourney Weaver is fine, the rest of the cast great (esp Matthew Horne) - and the staging is exceptional - a cinematic production. Rather worth a trip if you can get the tickets!
