Introducing SWR's new revenue protection officers for the Wessex route.

They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.

Cracking Andrew Weatherall soundtrack. Preferably immerse yourself whilst reading the excellent @garetherees.bsky.social 'Marshland', exploring the wonders of #Walthamstow marshes and beyond. To enter this wonderland you must shrink yourself at the 5ft bridge...

A magnificent crack willow, found in boggy corner whilst hunting for glacial ponds in @herefordshirewt.bsky.social‬ Sturts reserve.

Name is not a drug reference (though willows are valued for their pain-relieving properties), but for its habit of splitting and developing deep cracks.

The demolition of Scotland Yard’s former HQ affords new views of 55 Broadway, Charles Holden’s Grade I art deco wedding cake, with bas reliefs by Jacob Epstein and Eric Gill.

Apparently, one of Epstein’s figures had a key part chiselled down a bit after a public outcry. Beats a flashy sports car…

Too much #heat? 'A Week at the Knees'by Alex Chinneck, Charterhouse Sq, London.

Floppy appearance with a steel core, apparently from the old US Embassy (what might they do one day with the current one?)

The arch invites you in closer but sadly it was gated off when we visited. #accessibleart

Space House. No better name for this 'mid-twentieth century icon'. Grade II listed off, rising to the West of Kingsway, #London.

Centrepoint's little sister, this 1968 #brutalist masterpiece is a machine for working in. Half expect to see worker bees swarming in and out its concrete cells...
