My favourite bridge in Yorkshire. Named on OS maps as Long Bridge but it’s the shortest packhorse bridge I’ve seen. It crosses the infant River Worth near Haworth and since it dates from the 18th century I’m guessing the #Brontes used it #Haworth ⁦⁦ @brontecountry ⁩

I really wish this book didn't need to exist, but what a beautiful job @_BTO has made of #IntoTheRed . It's well worth buying to support the fight necessary to save these birds.

Reading Cocktail Time by PG Wodehouse (1958). This paragraph is so true today - "Have you ever been in the House of Commons and taken a good square look at the inmates? As weird a gaggle of freaks and sub-humans as was ever collected in one spot."

@MikeSegalov I arranged pint with mate in London pre mobile phone days. At pub I saw John Peel! Didn’t know he & mate friends and Peely joining us. He’d phoned Peely to say would be late to pub and described me to him. So Peely walks up and asks “Are you Roger?” Nearly dropped my pint.
