Can you spot the face? I spotted this today while out on the Lancaster Canal, believed by local heritage to be a masons mark, a symbol left by stone masons to identify their work, although there’s no official records.

Lovely day yesterday exploring Broughham Castle, Penrith, England

Loch Long, Scotland. Such a stunning place.

When I get my own castle, this is the door knocker I want 😊

I’m thrilled to share my first proper article in Rambling Through Time’s extra section! I’m bursting with excitement and pride, but I’ll admit—I’m also a bit nervous. This piece is deeply personal, a slice of my heart on the page, and I truly hope it resonates with you all. #mentalhealth #anxiety

Spotted this mushroom while out walking in the woods. Does anybody know what it is? And is it poisonous?

I know someone who is happy I'll be out rambling more Photo taken at Beacon Fell, Lancashire, England last September #dog #cute #Cockapoo #animal

I really do love old architecture. Whether it's a majestic castle, crumbling ruin, or a pretty windmill. Lytham Windmill, pictured, was built around 1805. It is a stunning example. Standing proud on Lytham Green, Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire, it makes a beautiful backdrop for photographs.

Hey 👋 This is the introduction post for my new substack 😊 I'm currently working hard writing, researching, and taking photographs for my first series, due to lunch at the end of March. If you like hiking, history, nature, and photography, please check it out 😊 Thank you, Martin
