Today is Fibonacci Day.

Introduced to Europe in 1228 by Leonardo Fibonacci, it begins with any number which is then added to its neighbour 1, 2, 3, 5 etc
This spiral pattern often appears in Nature - eg the left & right spiral in a sunflower.
This Fibonacci pavement is at Leicester Botanic Garden

I tell my secret? No indeed, not I;
Perhaps some day, who knows?
But not today; it froze, and blows and snows ❄️❄️❄️

A glimpse of Wingfield Manor in Derbyshire.
Built in 1440s for Ralph Cromwell, Treasurer to Henry VI, it was later bought by Earls of Shrewsbury. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here three times.
And in 1596, one of the first flushing loos was installed!
