At the Art of Tea, having a swift half and listening to the fantastic playing of Olly Hamilton.

Hmm, he hasn't played any Maerlock tunes yet ;-)

Some streets for you to cycle up.

Oh no! Just found out Matt Fox died. The Barely Works were one of my fave live acts of the 90s.

This next tune is called Miss McLeod's Reel. Miss McLeod was... a woman, and reel is... what's out there.

The introduction to this next piece is the apotheosis of my art. So please, be silent while I bare my art to you.

Quite blowy on the ride home. Planes on final approach over Stockport were doing that thing where they come in to land sideways. Had to portage the bike over fallen trees in a couple of places.

Look at all that wood just sitting there by the side of the trail.

Probably get transported to Australia if you take any.

Lovely day for a bike ride with daughter №1. Found a trail in Heaton Mersey that I never knew existed.

(A friend helpfully pointed out, that's how horror films begin.)
