Minster Lovell Hall is a ruined 15th century manor House on the River Windrush. And the adjacent dovecot also likely from C15th #MinsterLovellHall #ManorHouse #Ruin #Dovecot #EnglishHeritage #Oxfordshire #Oxon #Cotswolds #RiverWindrush

Groovy! Cutout contour blobby looping textures created using fractal noise. The colour palettes were inspired by different decades #Backgrounds #Textures #Blobs #Animation #FractalNoise #Contours #Cutout #MotionDesign #Loops #Groovy #LavaLamp #Abstract #Shapes

A wander round Minster Lovell. Even compared to the rest of the Cotswolds it has ridiculously chocolate box-worthy views #MinsterLovell #Oxfordshire #Oxon #Cotswolds #Village #ChocolateBoxViews #Cottages #Church #StKenelmsChurch #MedievalChurch #OldSwanInn

The Golden Valley. Along the Sapperton Valley alongside the abandoned Thames Severn Canal. Sunshine, wild garlic and the railway viaduct at Frampton Mansell #Cotswolds #TheGoldenValley #SappertonValley #SiccaridgeWood #NatureReserve #ThamesSevernCanal #AbandonedCanal #FramptonMansell #Viaduct

Stanley Wood, a short walk from Coaley Peak on the Cotswold escarpment. Pretty dappled sunlight and absolutely masses of wild garlic #StanleyWood #CotswoldEscarpment #Woodland #WoodlandTrust #Gloucestershire #CountryWalk #ForestBathing #ShinrinYoku #WildGarlic #CotswoldWay #Trees

Epic views from Frocester Hill and the adjacent Coaley Peak. Looking out from the escarpment to the upper Severn Estuary #Gloucestershire #Cotswolds #FrocesterHill #CoaleyPeak #PanoramicView #PicnicSpot #Landscape #SevernEstuary #Escarpment #CotswoldWay #ViewPoint #WoodlandTrust #NationalTrust

Nympsfield Long Barrow. A Neolithic burial site built around 2800 BC #NympsfieldLongBarrow #BurialSite #Neolithic #Historical #Ancient #Barrow #CoaleyPeak #Gloucestershire #Cotswolds #ScheduledMonument #EnglishHeritage #Archaeology

The Chipping Steps. A medieval entrance to the market of Tetbury. Also masses of cow parsley seen from the Tetbury trail, a converted rail bed path #Tetbury #Cotswolds #ChippingSteps #Medieval #MarketTown #Historic #TetburyTrail #ReclaimedRailway #CowParsley #Woods #Gloucestershire #WeaversCottages

The Official Source of the River Thames. There’s a stone marker and the springhead is the hollow lined with stones. The meadow had the most dandelions! #RiverThames #Gloucestershire #Cotswolds #ThamesHead #SourceOfTheThames #TrewsburyMead #Dandelions #Coates #Kemble #ThamesPath

From the Coates Portal entrance of the Sapperton Tunnel, along the towpath of the abandoned Thames and Severn canal #ThamesAndSevernCanal #SappertonTunnel #CoatesPortal #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Coates #NatureFindsAWay #ReclaimedByNature #UrbanEx #HistoricEngineering #Towpath #CountryWalks

Circular walk starting out from Coates, Gloucestershire. Wildflower meadows, St Matthew’s Church and paths over open fields in glorious sunshine #Coates #Gloucestershire #CountryChurch #Cotswolds #Springtime #WildflowerMeadow #OpenField #SpringSunshine #Clouds

Amazing time for buttercups, as seen last night at Houghton Meadows #Buttercups #Flowers #Spring #Yellow #Wildflower #Meadow #NatureReserve #HoughtonMeadows #Huntingdon #Cambridgeshire #Nature #WildlifeBCN #TheWildlifeTrusts @wildlifebcn

Last week, short break in Gloucestershire. First was a nice walk from Bibury through Ablington. Lovely rolling landscape and lots of buttercups! #Gloucestershire #Bibury #Ablington #Winson #CountryWalk #Rural #Walking #Springtime #RollingLandscape #ArlingtonRow

Why isn't the COVID inquiry headline news every week? The need to forget past/ongoing trauma & get back to "normal" is so strong that we ignore ~0.25M deaths and vast complex morbidity. Appointing folks with more experience of gymkhanas than genomics to run #NHSTestandTrace speaks volumes🤦‍♂️

DOGE was never about "efficiency”

Bluebell woods, epic Tuesday visit to Dockey Wood. An amazing vision of colour, light and shade #Bluebells #Woodland #Spring #Sunshine #DockeyWood #AshridgeEstate #Berkhamsted #Hertfordshire #NationalTrust #AshridgeNT @AshridgeNT

From a couple of weeks ago. Most of these have gone over now, but still plenty of colour to see for Easter #Daffodils #Narcissus #Yellow #GoldenHost #AngleseyAbbey #NationalTrustInTheEast #NationalTrust #Cambridgeshire #Spring #Easter #AngleseyAbbeyNT @angleseyabbeynt

Herringfleet Windmill. Various views from a visit in 2021. It’s a grade 2 listed 19th century smock mill used for drainage. Sadly by then it had lost two of its sails #HerringfleetWindmill #Grade2Listed #SmockMill #Suffolk #EastEngland #HistoricBuilding

Johnsons of Old Hurst, seeing the animals enjoying the sunshine. Based around a carbon neutral family-run dairy farm they started keeping crocodiles and expanded into running a zoo! #JohnsonsOfOldHurst #Zoo #Conservation #BobCat #Lion #Wallaby #Meerkat #Alligator #SlothBear #Cambridgeshire

Progression of yesterday’s partial eclipse. Started cloudy, but luckily cleared up as time went on! If you look closely on the left you can see the dot of the planet Mercury against the disc of the Sun #Eclipse #PartialEclipse #Astronomy #SolarEvent #Mercury #DevilsHorns

The famous Flying Scotsman. I took an opportunity to see this historic steam engine at the Nene Valley Railway on Monday #FlyingScotsman #SteamLocomotive #HistoricTrain #NeneValleyRailway #WansfordStation

As we were in the area we visited the world-famous Abbey Road and the crossing from ‘the’ album cover #AbbeyRoad #TheBeatles #MusicHistory #AbbeyRoadStudios #AbbeyRoadCrossing #London

To finish a weekend in London, a glorious sunny walk on Sunday morning from Paddington Basin through Little Venice and along the Grand Union canal #London #SundayMorning #PaddingtonBasin #LittleVenice #GrandUnionCanal #Barges

My Monday ‘quick stopover’ to break up the drive home turned out to be a 10km walk, but I had a nice time enjoying the sunshine and views #StudleyPark #FountainsAbbey #RedDeer #Snowdrops #WinterSunshine #Parkland #SevenBridgesValley #Yorkshire #NationalTrust #Walking #RiverSkell #Ripon

A fun weekend in Northumberland meeting my friend’s dog Fenna. Quick walk at Sugar Sands (and brunch) then a sunny Saturday around Belsay Gardens and a soggy Sunday around Morpeth #Northumberland #DogWalking #Galgo #SightHound #SugarSands #Beach #BelsayHallAndGardens #Morpeth #SteppyStones
