We made it up the M5 as far as Sedgemoor services before we needed a "comfort break". Rare occurrence these days.

I am watching a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by The Academy of Ancient Music I recorded off Sky Arts a while back. They have a Therabo, the 17 century double necked lute. Very prog. 😄

The postman has been with my "directors cut" copy of Robert Reed's Compendium. Features many "names" including Steve Hackett, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Nick Beggs, Jakko Jakszky, John Mitchell and Dave Stewart (the one from Egg and NHS) among others.

The envelope that contained the goodies.

A couple of the postcards included in the package.

Bright and sunny here today. Nice but I am off to a retina screening appointment so I would have preference yesterday's fog for when I come out with pupils on maximum dilation!

I love this video of Bellever in November 2024 I found. It was very cold with a light dusting of frost, there was a beautiful mist over the river and that night snow fell. #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

A few snaps from last night's John Hackett Band gig at Ashburton Arts. Great performance throughout by the band and support Heather Findlay. I was there with @singingconductor.bsky.social

Heather Findlay plays a solo support set of songs and spoken word.

Heather joined the band for a few songs.

The story of Ernest #Shackleton 's #Antartic expedition in 1916 is an incredible tale of survival in the most extreme circumstances. One of the survivors, Lionel Greenstreet lived very close to me. There is a good chance I would have passed him in the street when I was a child.

Looks like Torbay council is doing something about the intorable delays caused by roadworks on the A385 at #Churston. Work will stop until October and restart with a new traffic management plan. Fingers crossed.

Holloway path or ancient trackway, that leads to Walkhampton church yesterday, #Dartmoor #Devon #photography Holloway paths derived from the Old English hola weg, “sunken road” are formed over centuries by a combination of heavy human traffic and natural water erosion wearing away at soft bedrock.

🛥️ Artist: #StreetartFrankey in City: #Zandvoort /Zuidstrand, Strandpaviljoen Paal69 / Netherlands 🇳🇱 06/2024 - Title: "Ship Happens!" - (📷 by Arie de Leeuw) - #Streetart #Art #Urbanart #FunArt #Installation #Speedboat #Ship #APhotoLove

Urbanart. Art installation. The amusing installation of a speedboat was attached to a long pole with a street lamp. The lamppost makes two bends because a speedboat is hanging from it at a dizzying height. It was probably traveling too fast and crashed into the lamppost. In the photo, a dog is standing on the beach beneath the work of art and looking out to sea.
Info: Frankey aka Frank de Ruwe who
currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Where, if you look closely, you can discover his works in an unexpected places throughout the city. Street Art Zandvoort Festival will officially open on July 5.

We decided to increase our garden's resilience when we have another long dry summer. We added another waterbutt, a 720L one bringing our total capacity to 2000L. Unfortunately I had a "senior moment" and cut the inlet hole the wrong side, hence the Heath Robinson pipework.

In 1866 #Torbay was hit by the Great Gale. Over 60 ships were sunk and 100 sailors killed. The nearest lifeboat was at Teignmouth and was brought overland to Torquay. #Stormfest 160 commemorated the event yesterday. Later that year the first Torbay lifeboat station was established.

We went to #Teignmouth today for the first time since the storm destroyed the end of the pier. It was quite sad to see the remains while we had an ice cream on the front.

I just dug out this sun filter for a theodolite that I saved from a disposal of obsolete equipment at work many years ago. It will be a safe way to watch the eclipse. Prior to GPS we would make daily observations of the sun to determine azimuth as we laid out lines across the desert.

My Grandson was married yesterday. The venue was a "party barn" on a farm near Torquay. It all went rather well.

Part of the barn with added seating and decoration was the ceremony area.

Remembering how the drought ended in 1976. We were at Reading Festival and arrived very late after a vehicle breakdown. Coming up the M4 the sky had turned black. The setting sun appeared between the sheet of cloud and the horizon. Then the heavens opened.

We visited #Totnes Castle today. One of those locations that's close but seldom a place we go.

Totnes castle shell keep from the bailey area. Its quite a climb up steep stone steps.

A view from the keep walls over the town of Totnes.

The area inside the shell keep. The grass is yellow and dry.

Staff at the castle have left water for these young herring gulls. A breed that seldom receive kind gestures from humans.
