Hanging on to my old social media name although the birding these days is largely very low carbon through my living room window. Anarcho-dandyist folkie into environment and architecture among other things. Vestitus bene vincit omnia 🧑‍💻 www.folkphotos.uk

Sometimes towns can be more interesting from the back. Photo taken in Brentwood, Essex last October
A medieval town house viewed from the rear with multiple extensions and an alley through to the main street. All rendered in white now getting dirty.

A very laid back place when we visited in June. We were so impressed by the Marches that we will be back later this month

Day out on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. You get a superb view in these old diesels but I had forgotten the fumes.

Just watched 10 minutes of Addams Family Values on TV. No alternative but to get out the DVDs of the original 1964 TV series instead.
