Who or What am I? Hint 1: Non-migratory, it’s rare for one to ever travel more than 10km. They are omnivorous and very intelligent. Part of their name came to be used for animals that were black and white. We will try again for a second hint around noon.

That's lovely to hear... My Mum got to have a quick hold of the fox for Jennifer while they were making the film and we all knew Percy Tarbuck (the local greengrocer) who stood in for Cyril Cusack in the final scene where he tries to stop Hazel from falling down the mineshaft :-)

Film #1 of #LFF was Gone to Earth and it was - of course - an eminently safe bet for this Powell and Pressburger fanatic (see my avatar!). The new restoration was glorious to behold on the big screen and the ending gave me full-body chills. This is melodrama at its ripest and most mystical.

Here's the impressive spire of St Peter's Church at Worfield rising above the early morning mist. The tower itself is 80ft, but the spire adds an extra 120ft! I was sure I knew the church in the background, but had to check a map to confirm. Who else knows the answer? 🙂 #shropshire

Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 5 Oct starts Week N and the #AlphabetChallenge is Neon. Signs, artworks, light shows - you get the idea. For the pedants among you LED signs count too as real neon light is rare now. Go big, bright, & bold! Use the # below and have fun😁

#RothNo #AccidentalArtist #aofoto #aoFotoCall Not a Rothko
A close up photo of an old metal shutter on an old building at St Mary's Street Manchester. 
The grey metal is weathered and slightly rusty with a few bits of black graffiti. 
Sunlight is shining onto two thirds of the shutter at the top with the rest in shadow. 
I have turned the photo so that the shutter's lines are running vertically to create a Rothko style painting.
