Thanks for the hint. 👍 😀

A little light Googling led me to this (where your UCL walks get a shout-out) and introduced me to the fab-sounding buildinglondon.blog/2021/12/20/2...

As I have friends in Cambridge, I hope to visit and then check out the Raffaelli table in the Fitzwilliam.

Ruth, thanks so much! Lovely name and lovely patterns. Looks prettier than the red Devonian limestones we have a little south from me in Devon.

Hello, Ruth. I hope you can help ID a reddish stone font & pavement in Villefranche de Conflent, S. France. Tim Palmer said you'd moved to BlueSky and you're the best.

Tim thinks limestone, I guess red gneiss, my sister who posted the pic has NO idea. Lots of it in the hills, apparently.

Thanks so much! My sister will be delighted. (I've told her the RHS says it has sticky leaves so hopefully she will report back.)

I must remember to hang out on BlueSky for #WildflowerHour.

I live in Devon and forage it regularly. It's not rare. and hard to mistake for anything dodgy. Very nice too...

Hello Moira! Is #WildflowerID more active on Bluesky these days?

If yes, any chance of an ID for a pesky furrin plant in S France, near Pyrenees? My sis wonders if it's a linaria/toadflax but the leaves seem wrong but there are over 200 varieties of the damn things. Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting! A favourite flower of my childhood...

Blimey! Did you take a few leaves home to eat? Great with butter and lemon...

Glad you liked it. 👍

Yep. Plus an understanding of the proper use of reflexive pronouns. 😆

Meanwhile, here's a pic of my Gail's cinnamon bun for the apostrophe and bakery fans. Credit to Gail's for their commitment to old-school grammar.

Yes! If I had a pic of the red kites above my Oxfordshire house, I'd post it. Please have some aconites instead. 😀

Point taken.

But I have a feather phobia. I had NO idea I might be sharing a plane ride with feathery things that could flap around in flight. Let alone if they get into the cabin on the approach to landing. Or join their friends outside by diving down the toilets and into the jet engine vents...
