Covid in the landscape. This double path never existed until Covid and we were asked to walk a metre apart. People switch between paths now. How long will it take for those two paths to fade back into the landscape.
Two worn paths parallel each other through a grass field nibbled short by sheep.

Well thank you @cyclingalmanack.bsky.social ! This was a very nice little treat through the post yesterday! Love them! Looking forward to unwrapping the bigger treat in a few weeks. Oooh! a NSF/Road Book Advent Calendar… there’s an idea @nedboulting.bsky.social
A red envelope lies open on a wooden table with a number postcards with black and white linocut prints of cycling inside. A small white coffee cup sits to the side.

So Tide Mill Tuesdays isn’t a thing and there’s not enough for it to run for long. But this is Battlesbridge, Essex (GII). Much of the original 3 storey mill on the left was demolished in the e20c and the single storey element and wheel in its place is a modern reconstruction.

Recent explorations of damp and mirey places. Former Stambridge mills site near Rochford Essex. An 18th c. tide mill occupied the site of the graffiti covered brickwork.
A scene of industrial abandonment. Two square tower rise against a flat grey sky. In the foreground is a marshy creek with a footbridge over a culvert leading to a collection of brick walls covered with bright grafitti.

Taking an opportunity to make the most of the last autumn colours before next weeks frosts. Back from the bike to the books now.
View down a steep lane towards a distant vista of the flat Thames Valley south of Oxford. Above an azure sky with a lone wispy cloud in the foreground. The view is framed by high hedges which cast long shadows across the road from strong late autumn sun which catches the leaves of the oak trees on the right of the picture to make them blaze orange and gold.
