Something has gone wrong with the world though. Military-industrial complex aside. Forgetting corruption in politics for the moment. Throwing stones at ducklings? Really?

Being as it is St Swithin's day today. I post this a lot, I know. Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt painted this sometime between 1866-75. His sister began the work but abandoned it and Hunt completed it. I think it's awesome. "The Festival of St Swithin" #pigeonsky

This Standard rose at my front door, I think the variety is "Birthday Girl", was quite sparse and falling over when I first moved in about 5 years ago. I strapped it to a support and got rid of the ants, pruned it quite hard for the first three years. It looked good last year and I didn't prune it.

This is a dovecote over in Kings Cliffe, 17th century I think. The owner had the cupola refurbished. The Red Kite weather vane was added because that was where the original reintroduction took place. He didn't use it as a dovecote, just a very fancy garden shed.
