It's good to know there are exceptions. I'm sure there are many others who agree. Well done, Nathan!

Geese on the river - When Christianity was made the state religion in 380 AD, everything changed. By that time, burgeoning, even explosive growth in Christianity had reduced worship in the Classical Greco-Roman temples to a low ebb. #River #Photo #History #Church jhm.scilla.org.uk/2025/05/21/g...

This old roller in someone's front garden is interesting. It was made by a company called Aubrey Rees here in Cirencester. They manufactured simpler items themselves and sold tractors, combines, ploughs etc.

I caught a later bus to Cheltenham to visit my neighbour who is in hospital. Here's a side entrance at Cheltenham General leading to the ward he's on. But when I reached him he was fast asleep to I crept away without having a conversation. I can try again another day.

This morning I caught the wrong bus and ended up in #Cirencester when I'd intended to go to #Cheltenham. It worked out well though as I bumped into a friend in St Michael's Park and we we able to chat over #lunch. I love it when mistakes turn out unexpectedly well!

We had some heavy rain this afternoon, but only for a few minutes. The garden needs more, so I'm hoping there'll be further showers over the next few days.

This dark line across the sky is most likely the shadow of an aircraft contrail above the cloud layer. You can't see the contrail as it's hidden by the cloud. It's a very striking phenomenon! Sometimes you can see both the contrail AND its shadow, but not this time.

This is very amusing. Ukraine has tricked Putin into moving a lot of air defence systems to the Moscow area to protect the city during tomorrow's military parade. So now there are many unprotected military and military industrial sites unprotected. So guess what Ukrainian drones are targeting now?

Had a coffee at Nero in Cirencester and watched some interesting interviews on the Russian war against Ukraine. Russia is weakening. Ukraine is getting stronger 👍.
