Black-and-white photo taken from a pedestrian bridge overlooking a road with a single blurred car in motion. Dense trees line both sides of the road, and a tall streetlight stands on the right. A metal mesh railing frames the foreground.

Black-and-white photo of tall grass swaying in the wind under a dark, cloudy sky. A lone tree silhouette stands in the distance, adding depth and mood to the stormy landscape.

Close-up of a bluish-green plant with thick, spiny-edged leaves growing in sandy soil. Surrounding it are dry grass-like blades and straw-coloured stems, suggesting an arid or coastal environment.

Close-up of a rusted metal flange with circular holes mounted on a cylindrical pipe. The background shows a blurred shoreline and body of water, highlighting the effects of corrosion in an outdoor setting.

Remains of the Mary Rose - Henry VIII’s warship that sunk in July 1545 at the Battle of the Solent. Raised in 1982, the ship is located and preserved at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard site. 📸 My own. #Woodensday #MaryRose #Portsmouth

There are no words to adequately do justice to the marvel that greeted me on the latest leg of the north county church tour today. St Mary's #Ellesmere is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING:

#Shropshire 💒

Looking across the churchyard to the cruciform wonderment of the Grade-1 listed St Mary's Ellesmere - which must be among Shropshire's finest. It contains Norman features but was restored in the mid-1800s in a Perpendicular Gothic style.

Yes, it absolutely does... Not specially an Appleton convert either, but not sure anyone would get much return from the budget he seems to have - though playing your two most talented players at wingback is also beyond me!

Wonderful weekend at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social for Northern Eye festival. Lovely to get to know Peter Caton & his long term work in South Sudan, and Kyle McDougall. My highlight though was the talk and work of Margaret Mitchel, including An Ordinary Eden.
