Spotted this just this morning when I was going to Manchester Vic by tram. In all these years, I had never noticed it! 😅

It is nice to come to a place where people have gotten to know you because you are always received with a friendly smile, a hug, and several hours of conversation. 😆

Sometimes you just have to accept that you abused your brain too much with sleep deprivation, so it crapping out on you mid-afternoon isn't even shocking anymore... 🙃

For once there were no babies on my flight! I got to sleep a bit over two hours out of the 2.45 hours of flight time. A miracle! 🙌

Bit of a shame that sleep deprivation makes me look like a disgruntled raccoon because I left the house fully reassured that my fit was great. 😞
(Plus, it's supposed to rain a lot at my destination tomorrow... Drowned rat traveller look it is!)

I produced this set of drawings (12 in all) of Ightham Mote in Kent in 1988. They were published by the National Trust then but I still have people get in touch to tell me that they have just bought them. One was in New Zealand, another in Canada.

An evening painting of Whitby, "Baiting the Lines" 1884 by John Atkinson Grimshaw. It was said that he captured the moonlit images of ‘the rain and mist, the puddles and smoky fog of late Victorian England with great poetry’.

St Thomas's Church has stood out like a spiritual beacon looking down on industrial Halifax from the hilltop at Claremount since the 1860s. However, in the 1960s, it lost its spire, then its congregation, then its religious status and slowly began to fade behind the ever-spreading hillside woodland.
