Cemetery lurking in Brussels

Broughton Henge, a new stone circle (erected May 2025), the largest stone just over 5m high, just outside Skipton on Broughton Estate. 'The setting is devised to appear to be as ancient as possible with alignments with the solstices and equinoxes.'
Rubbish photos (from two different places) because it's on private land and you apparently can't get right up to it.

January and February in books read. The Godzilla one is both great and suitably-sized, and I picked up the Gil North because the back cover says he was from Skipton - asked my parents if they knew of him, turns out he lived just across the road from us.

Delightful dinner company

New @moloch.scum LP is out now, listen/buy via links in the band bio. New shirts too.

If you're local and don't want to pay postage, I'll have a box of LPs, let me know and we can work it out.

A selection of the many green men lurking in Ely cathedral. Some low quality photos because several were way, way up on the ceiling or otherwise really awkward to see.

Very good

Weird light and some are a bit out of focus, but this is everything I've read since February (not sure why I stopped doing this monthly) - I think that makes 44 for the year all in, which is very poor going compared to previous years. Must do better in future (if not I'll probably drown in my to-read piles..) - certainly need to spend less of my time wasting it on here.
Bonus bit of Monkey off to the side on the blanket she sleeps on on my desk while I work.
