the South Pennines have been enchanting us lately

ghostly posts in the corner of a field, among them, an old concrete streetlight. Fog so thick the road falls away into nothingness in front of you

Who knows @natalan.bsky.social @bobfry.bsky.social, if you're really lucky you might even encounter the Rolls Royce of grit bins, the incomparable and wondrous #Glasdon #Orbistor 😍

Here's one I saw in Knighton Radnorshire earlier this year:

a grit bin with a view in Sheffield, for @marcpetty.bsky.social / #GritSaltBinMonday

a yellow grit bin on a steep slope, in front of a row of houses. in the distance there's a view of green hills across a valley.

a close up of the same yellow bin. it's lopsided due to the steep hill.

oh yeah #inktober i guess

a drawing of a pigeon with a quizzical and maybe accusative expression. i messed up the line of his head then corrected, so it looks a bit like he's wearing an eye patch. there are scribbles of pigeons in flight in the distance beside him.

@natalan.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 4:22 PM

a notebook lying in a colourful carpet. there's an ink drawing of a plump pigeon huddle up sleeping.
