Plus it’s the 145th anniversary of a ship called ‘Visiter’ running aground in Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire, leading to a daring rescue, and two permanent memorials to the event, one a conventional plaque telling the story, the other… a now Grade II listed cast-iron fish

A light in the darkness. This morning on Glastonbury Tor. at about sunrise time. It seemed to take a long time to get light today due to very low cloud blanketing the Tor. It was eerie but really quite beautiful.

Believe it or not, it is time to start work on my Glastonbury 2027 Calendars. I do votes so that people can help me choose images. So I thought we could start with one of the most challenging months, May. In May the light can be quite harsh and4am starts every day makes it tough going up for sunrise
