All ready to roll in Hackney this evening at the gorgeous St John of Jerusalem. ☺️ Tomorrow: Childrey in Oxfordshire (and just a handful of t|ckets left for anyone hoping to join us! 🎵

🌅 Clavell Tower standing watch above Kimmeridge Bay, with the great sweep of Gad Cliff beyond. Another shot from Heaven’s Gate the other evening. ☺️

Sunset from ‘Heaven’s Gate’ in Purbeck with Kimmeridge Bay in the distance. It’s been a pretty gorgeous this last week hasn’t it?! ☺️☀️

What a joy last night was?! ☺️ Another fabulous ‘Hour of the Blackbird’ concert with the @hartvoices, led by the inimitable Roy Rashbrook at the stunning All Saints Church in Fleet. What a way to start the tour?! ❤️

Hard to believe that this photo was taken at Heaven’s Gate in Purbeck on this day 8 years ago! 😮 March can be a funny old month can’t it?! Quite different out there today! ☀️ 😎

An exciting addition to HQ is coming very soon…! 🎹🥳

Our first viewing at the New HQ bird box location! ☺️❤️

The view from Ballard Down, with Swanage Bay unfurling below, gorse blazing gold, brooding clouds parting for a shy glint of sea light. 🌥️💛 Pure Purbeck poetry. ☺️

Absolutely chuffed to be shortlisted for Band/Duo of the Year at the @Fatea_Magazine Awards!💛 Huge congrats to all the artists nominated! Winners announced live on Folk Friday Radio, 11 Jan, 7pm. 🎶 Pic of us looking awkward & precariously balanced and up a tree for attention.🤣

Soft light, long shadows & the moon setting over Badbury Rings at sunrise this morning.☺️ It’s one of Dorset’s finest Iron Age hillforts which later stood watch over a major Roman crossroads. Jon’s hands are still recovering but the frostbite was definitely worth it…right?! 😅

Sunrise at Upton Country Park yesterday - first light spilling across the saltmarsh of Holes Bay looking towards Pergins Island. Spectacular. 🤩

We had our first meeting to start prepping our 2026 musical walking holidays today! Would have been rude not to have a quick blast out on the hills first though. 🥾🎵☺️ It was a bit breezy. Can you tell? 😂

The last night of the tour has arrived at the beautiful St Endellion Church in Cornwall! Really looking forward to seeing a lovely lot of you shortly! ☺️❤️

Livestream tech rehearsals have a different vibe these days… 😂

We’re struggling to remember where we took this photo. 🤔 It popped up in our memories from a few years ago. Our money is on the New Forest somewhere. We’re always drawn to the Forest at this time of year - to try and catch the last flashes of autumn before winter takes hold. 🍁

A favourite little spot to pause on the ‘Isle of Wight Road’ at Durlston near Swanage. Stone, sea and a view that inspires you to do exactly what the sign suggests — rest and admire. ☺️💙

A quiet moment in Studland village. The Celtic cross standing watch over the lane. We never mind pausing here for a breather. ☺️❤️

Did you know - this ‘winding track’ up the side of Challow Hill near Corfe Castle is the one we sing about in ‘Summer Fires’? 🔥☺️

Morning light on Corfe Castle — standing proud above the rooftops of the village it gives its name to. 🏰 Sunlit stone, drifting clouds, and echoes of history in stone. Dorset at its most iconic. ☺️💚 #CorfeCastle #Dorset

All ready to roll in Guildford for tonight’s Folk Inspiration concert. 🤩 And yes…the PA isn’t set up symmetrically, and yes…this is going to bug Jon all evening. 😂
