I was talking to a spritely and interesting 91 year old church warden this week. We started talking about St Benet’s and he expressed consternation at the vandalism of its gate house to turn it into a drainage mill. I suppose history is more recent for some than others!

I found these today. They were next to a hedge beneath a couple of oak trees. At first I thought they were fallen bracket fungi but the were firmly rooted in the ground. I wonder if they’re some kind of boletus as the one I picked had pores.

These grotesque and weather worn little faces look like they might be much older than the rest of the porch. All Saints Rackheath.

I thought this was a ringed plover but I looked it up and it’s not one of those. An app tells me it’s a turnstone but I’m not sure. It was a bold little bird running around eating the crumbs from people’s sandwiches and getting very close to them.

Yesterday I walked 16 miles from Walcott to Hoveton and saw loads of geese arriving to spend winter on the Broads. It’s a shame they were drowned out by the traffic for much of this video as I love the honking they do.

Installation art north of Hoveton… or it could be some poly tunnels 🤔

I think this is a chinese water deer. I saw it just north of Somerton.

14th century monsters The tower arch at Plungar, Leicestershire, features some small carvings. Clockwise, top left we have a dragon/lizard, a monster mouth eating a ballflower ("Appetite for Destruction" vibes), A two-legged beast with man's head & a fox? bishop being eaten by tiny dragons.

A nice discovery under flaking bark of a diseased tree, the tiny nymph of a Chernes cimicoides pseudoscorpion in its silk moulting chamber. The claws of the shed skin can be seen above the pale nymph. The bark was carefully replaced. #arachnids #pseudoscorpions

Brown tree trunk with scattered black bits on it and in the centre an open oval of silk with a tiny little pale greyish pseudoscorpion tucked inside.

Close-up of the silken chamber where the pseudoscorpion sheds its skin. The pseudoscorpion is pale greyish with robust 'arms' that end in stout claws. The claws of the shed skin are visible at the top of the chamber and are a dark reddish-brown colour.

I doubt these carvings are really ancient but I love them. The first one looks like Marty Feldman. Toft Monks church

These are a remarkable achievement. Given how salty and strong marmite is they’ve managed to use it to make the blandest coated nuts possible. A real disappointment.

The home of this dainty brown dragon fly is an old church that is not unusual in any way at all. No siree. Just another Norfolk church

Not great photos because I couldn’t get my phone camera to focus very well but I encountered a large harvestman (an opilione) crossing my path whilst determinedly carrying something which I can’t make out

Rabies vaccination in cats fall below recommendations, even though cats are more likely to be exposed to rabid bats There is a specific vaccine for cats, which is safer in terms of injection site sarcoma, called Purevax. If you have a cat, ask for this specific vaccine and get them vaccinated!

Letheringsett to the west of Holt is another of Norfolk’s round towered churches. It has a few treasures inside including a spectacular reredos and a carved head sprouting arms and legs (had mushrooms been taken?) and a head that reminds me of a little girl in a cartoon strip I can’t quite remember.

Glandford church was mostly reconstructed in the early years of the 20thC. It was done in honour of the local bigwig’s mother. I’ve seen a couple of sniffy comments about it but I love it. 1/2

When I was very young Melly’s (sp?) Coaches would run day trips from Bury St Edmunds to London Zoo. We went a couple of times and on one occasion we met a lady transfixed by the giraffes. She told my mum she thought they were mythical beasts and couldn’t believe her eyes.

Care homes are all eye wateringly expensive. Care home staff are all low paid, minimum wage workers. Something doesn't add up.

Wiveton church is close enough to the church at Cley that each can be seen from the other. When it existed the harbour at Cley could probably have been seen from the churchyard. There are a couple of of interesting brasses in the floor. I particularly like the shrouded corpse.

I love pew end carvings in churches. I try not to post too many to avoid being a bore but I’d be interested in peoples opinions on what these might represent. They’re both from Cley-Next-the-Sea. Please retweet because I’d like to get as many ideas as possible.

Shelton Church from July last year. The interior light was quite uplifting . It has a very interesting tomb showing a pious family group. They don’t look like they were much fun. I don’t think it on the toad to anywhere but worth a detour for a look.

Cley church must be one of the most beautiful in Norfolk and contains many strange and interesting things. Worth a visit.

View from the door of Cley church. This would once have looked out onto a harbour.

Not the most beautiful thing I found yesterday but probably the most interesting. The death mask and epitaph of Johnson Jex whose name sounds like the start of a limerick.

Being a litter lout was deeply frowned upon when I was young. I wonder if this is part of the Festival mentality where loads of people just dump everything at the end and leave the organisers to clear up. Maybe due to the price of the tickets 🤷‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
