We’ve had some stunning evening skies this October 🍂
Horses graze by a wooden fence with a glowing golden sunset behind Blue sky and a huge pale gold cloud formation are seen over a berry laden hedgerow and a road sign to Broxholme A grey horse grazes in the centre of a green field, while a dramatic gold and silver sunset silhouettes the treeline behind

I’m sorry, were you planning on sitting back down here?
A black cat is luxuriantly washing his belly in the spot where I was just sat reading my book, looking up at me sardonically as I re approach the bed

Today at work I wrote an email, standing by a hedgerow with a robin scolding me. I walked to a meeting with the Finance Dept through a picturesque village in the autumn sunshine. Not a bad day at the office 🌳🍁🍂

Do you remember when we used to call these alligator pears?

Douglas Adams on technology

(from ‘The Salmon of Doubt’ MacMillan, 2002)
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” Douglas Adams (from ‘The Salmon of Doubt’) 2002

Every night I sit with my cat and watch the sunset outside
A black cat seen from behind is sitting on a bed looking out of a bedroom window. The golden reflected light of the sunset bounces off the windows of the houses opposite and paints the folds of the white bedsheets.

Red Sun, Oct 2017
#BlueskyArtShow #Lines
An unfiltered photo of a telegraph pole and phone lines silhouetted against a peach coloured hazy evening sky, with small red coloured sun just visible between the wires. The unusual sky was due to dust blown over the U.K. from storms in the Sahara desert.

This passage struck me to the heart today, reading the terrifying short story ‘Detour’ by Joyce Carol Oates.
Most of her life she'd been waiting— for what, she hadn't known. As a bright and curious girl-child, waiting for her true life to begin. As a restless but shy adolescent, waiting for her true life to begin. Before she'd met the man she would marry, waiting for her true life to begin. And then, in the months before she'd married this man, waiting for her true life to begin. Before she'd had her first pregnancy and her first baby—waiting for her true life to begin. And since the children had grown and gone away-waiting for her true life to begin. Something meant for me alone. Just-for me. That has been waiting for me to arrive. Because I have not been in the right place until now. But now—am I in the right place?

Celebrating our hero David Attenborough’s 99th birthday this week 💚 🌎

He has done so much to highlight issues affecting our natural world, particularly bringing the problems with plastic pollution to the world’s attention via the Blue Planet series.

Happy Birthday Sir David! 🥳

Pic: ‘Britain’s tallest maypole’ (please feel free to offer your lengthier poles into the fray), Maypole Street, Hemswell, Lincs 💈#mayday #maypole #summerisacuminin
A very tall white maypole decorated with red & blue spiral stripes stands in a traditional English leafy street in Lincolnshire. There is a blue sky & fluffy white clouds on a hot day & text on the picture reads “Guys, I think you’ve all Mayday’d too hard. Summer is acumin in at least 10 degrees too high”

When it’s your turn on the catnip scratcher
One black cat (Marley) stands behind his identical brother, who is sitting on a cardboard scratcher that has been freshly sprinkled with catnip. He is waiting as patiently as possible with his front two paws on the scratcher, looking toward me for help hurrying his brother Captain along

I am very lucky to have photos and other family history preserved in a local history book of my great-great grandfather and his family on that side of my family. Knowing the extra info of boat people + brickmakers has made sense of location moves & marriages in other areas from census to census

Images of medieval buildings in Lincoln, taken on this day in 2017. First two are of St Peter at Gowt’s church, the wonderful stonework around an interior window opening in the adjacent Guildhall, and finally the tower of St Mary le Wigford. All situated on the lower High St., Lincoln.
A gilded lectern in the shape of an eagle with spread wings, for holding an open bible to read from, in the interior of St Peter at Gowt’s church, Lincoln. The altar with white carved figures above is seen behind. The exterior of the square stone built tower of St Peter at Gowt’s church, taken in black and white on a cold February day with the bare branches of a tree standing out starkly against a white sky A very dark interior, light from a small window with medieval zig-zag stonework at the sides falls onto a pile of dusty planks on the floor. Taken inside the Guildhall on Sibthorpe St, Lincoln The medieval church tower of St Mary le Wigford, Lincoln. A black and white image of the stone clock tower with bare winter trees either side.

Please excuse my poor phone pics! Here’s a map showing the tomb location in context to the surrounding landscape & water. The Kermario alignments lie a short distance to the west and south.

#TombTuesday inside the woodland Dolmen of Kercado near the Kermario alignments in Carnac, France. The quality of the stonework is beautiful and shows the infill often lost when cairns are uncovered. The interior has serpentine & double axe megalithic art.
A low wooden door, barely more than a hatch, open onto a dark tunnel beneath a huge grey lintel stone of a prehistoric tomb in Carnac, France. The uprights and capstone megaliths of the tomb structure seen from inside with its smaller infill stones filling the gaps between the curved uprights. The gloomy interior of the tomb, with just the giant capstone illuminated with a raking light to reveal its texture A shot of the complete darkness inside, lit only by the natural light from the tomb’s entrance
