Spotify or Tidal?

I’ve flipped between both over the years, but currently using Spotify as I got a free six-month subscription when I bought a Sonos sound bar before Christmas. That’s about to expire, and it’s time to stump up £9.99 a month. The question is, should I go back to Tidal or stick where I am? I listen to …

Goodbye Evernote, hello Craft. I’ve done what I thought was unthinkable. After using Evernote for over a dozen years, I just cancelled my subscription and started using Craft as my full time note taking application. I tried to stay loyal to Evernote, but feel they are slipping behind and I …

I love the early morning light. I took this whilst out walking the dog about 7am today. The light coming between the trees made this shot. iPhone 11, Lightroom app, processed in Lightroom Classic 📷

It was good to get out on Ruby tonight. Does anyone else name their bike? 📷🚲

Day trip to the coast. It was great to escape and get away from staying at home for the first time in months. We packed a picnic, jumped in the car and drove to Lymington in Hampshire for some sunshine and sea air — great combination! 📷

The inevitable photo of a beer drinker’s first post-lockdown pint in a pub since Christmas Day. 📷🍺

Summer Rose. Another photo from last summer to remind us that it won't be long before we can feel the warmth on our skin again. 📷 🌱

Early morning in the garden. It's not as warm as it looks! 📷🌱

Thanks to everyone that responded to my earlier post when I mentioned that I was struggling with CSS styling for my Archive page, especially @jeannie and @mariovillalobos

Black & White Fishing Gear. I took this photo a few years ago when on holiday in Florida. 📷
