I always wanted one of these mugs, and now you've reminded me to head to eBay and remedy the situation.

On the day the kids break up from school for the summer holidays, there’s something of an autumnal look to some of the hedgerows. #shropshire

Do you ever get the feeling you’re being watched?

Some entertaining acrobatics by a starling on the bird table this afternoon. #shropshire #birds #nature #wildlife

I’ve got to be honest, jackdaws are handsome. #nikon #birds#bird_photography

Had an opportunity to take some shots with a Nikkor Z MC 105mm last night, just as the light was fading. It needed a little more depth of field, but if anyone asks, I'll say it's artistic! #nikon #nikonphotographer #nikonZ8

Good to see the bumblebees returning to the heathers in the garden (although I didn’t get a shot of them unfortunately). Shame the warm weather is coming to an end over the next few days. #shropshire #nature #wildlife

Odd the things you find under the trees in our local churchyard. #shrewsbury #photography

It doesn't look like we will have another colourful sunset over Shrewsbury as we did last night. #shropshire #shrewsbury #weather

My latest post on Substack and my first cross-publishing using one of their shareable assets.

If anyone has lost a (hopefully empty) oil tank on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, I think I might have found it!

Bit busier this afternoon than during our recent visit, Jim!

Wonderful! It's raining again. We could do with some more rain! #climate #weather #flooding
