Visited Copenhagen for Culture Night again and the highlight was the astonishing Gundtvig’s Church. Built entirely of brick 100 years ago. The organ is huge and makes the whole building resonate. An amazing place. #kulturnattten

The very curious but beautiful Nyboder neighbourhood in Copenhagen. Originally built in 17th and 18th centuries as naval accommodation. Feels a bit neglected today. #copenhagen

Very windy but sunny at the end of the Stone Pier - the best place in Weymouth.

Nice day out at Hillier’s arboretum in Hampshire - good to see a local authority still involved in supporting this much loved site.
