Thanks to Dawn @pilgrimtrust.bsky.social for a special day as pilgrims walking from Chilham to Canterbury, learning wassail songs and enjoying the beautiful countryside around the Stour valley
Canterbury Cathedral, lit up with a dappled cloudy night sky overhead. Magnificent Gothic building.

A bright start to a grey #London morning yesterday, enjoying the colour and vitality of Van Gogh's paintings at the National Gallery
View across Trafalgar Square of London's National Gallery. Stone bollards at the front, a fountain and a Christmas tree in the mid-ground. A grand building with done and columns at the rear. Grey sky. Van Gogh's paintings The Stevedores. A heavily laden boat with French flag, men standing on board. A remarkable sunset of yellow, orange and blue, reflected in the water. Van Gogh's paintings Long Grass with Butterflies (1890). Richly textured grass and undergrowth with small white and blue flowers and white butterflies.

And thus panto season begins!
Sign at London Bridge railway station, above a very long escalator to platform 1, which reads 'The lift is behind you'. I know, but it amused me.

It's beginning to feel a lot like... 🎄
The lights are up on Cutty Sark! #Greenwich #London
Masted sailing ship illuminated in the dark and resting within a glass structure, upper deck visible. Flags fluttering. Shape of a Christmas tree picked out in lights on one mast and rigging. Lights of Canary Wharf skyscrapers in the distance.

I love this time of year. A coolness to the air but still some warmth in the sun. Taking a moment to enjoy it #London
A full cup of cappuccino in a china cup and saucer placed on a red table outside on the pavement. Glorious sunshine
