Happy birthday to Brian Blessed. Not many people know that Brian Blessed is a highly skilled horse whisperer, but he has to stand in the next field.

Somehow, the world feels like a better place now that I know that a gathering of ladybirds is called a 'loveliness'. So here's a loveliness of ladybirds on a twinklement of stained glass at St. Mary's, Brownshill, Gloucestershire.

A grey squirrel with a very handsome floofy tail is sitting in the border beneath the bird feeder. His front paws are clasped in front of him. He is looking straight at the camera.

Pre-dawn shot of the moon and its light on the water. Just enough light to get a nice pale, green color in the ocean. #marinelife #nokings #love #nature #Maui #photography
Moonlight somewhat enshrouded by clouds.  Small ocean beach with trees on both sides. Incoming water is pale green and foamy. Overall darkness prevails in the photo.

A chonky tuxedo cat lies, fast asleep, in his cat bed with one ear folded over so it appears missing. His slightly grubby front paws are bent in the foreground.

90 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️
The mounted police conduct a charge against the dense crowd to clear the way to Cable Street.

Everything has made me anxious this week including booking tickets online and a new pan set….. 🥴 #ActuallyAutistic This morning I’m fortunate to be sitting in my garden listening to the hum of the bees in the strawberry tree, and the birdsong. Look at those colours! #Nature #TinyJoys

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪
A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

Just found you on here because of your “war time bomb” rail post. I loved Pagans, thought the concept was brilliant and really enjoyed it. I passed it to my dad who felt the same. Looking forward to the sequel!
