Happy #CloudAppreciationDay! ☁️✨ Today is the perfect excuse to look up and admire the skies above us. From fluffy fair-weather cumulus clouds to towering, dramatic cumulonimbus, they do more than shape our weather. They spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and connect us to the natural world.

Today’s poem is called ‘In the Departure Lounge’.
In the Departure Lounge
 
in the departure lounge,
she drew him near,
then softly whispered in his ear,
not words of parting’s sweet, sweet sorrow,
but don’t forget the bins tomorrow

8th September 2026 When I was a kid, plum trees were planted in our street in Deakin (Canberra) as street trees. We’d pick the plums when they were ripe and even though they were a bit too sour to eat they made sensational jam!!!!

While on the subject of photographing things that might not be there next time….. Have been driving past this for at least 18 years. Today I finally stopped. It’s the Buffalo Hotel apparently. There were at least 5 hotels in Tylden, Victoria in the mid 1860s.

It's been long overdue but the rain has given the ground a good soaking in some spots ⛈️ Below are the latest 12 hour rainfall totals from the Environment Agency gauges 👇 For context, Staffordshire has only had 91.4mm of rain so far this summer ☔
A table to show rainfall totals ranging from 60 mm in Lichfield to 41mm in Wittering over the last 12 hours.
