Rather wonderful brooding and beautiful photo of my walk in Essex today.
Southern England has some really lovely countryside, not necessarily dramatic but perhaps more touching for that.

November 3rd, is Sandwich Day, a day to celebrate the glorious sandwich.
Named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu who was said to have been so engrossed in a card game that he ordered his servants to bring him meat between two slices of bread.

The grave of William Blake, Bunhill Fields, London.
Interesting fact, Bunhill is a corruption of 'Bone Hill'. It was a famous non-comformist burial ground.
If you're ever in London I'd really recommend exploring the cemetery and the surrounding area (ask if you want some tips).

Recently visited Welsh Patagonia.
I wondered what could have persuaded 180 Welsh people to travel halfway around the world to settle in a bleak, unfriendly land.
Then I saw a photo of their leader. I think anybody would do anything for this man.
