During the early 20thc, artist Rowena Cade (1893–1983) started to create the open air Minack Theatre, Porthcurno, on the Cornish cliffs, UK, with the help of her gardener Billy and only hand tools. She continued to build into her last years #WomensArt

You can always rely on Keswick for a bit of dramatic light over the fells. Merryn is happy as ever to be back in the Moho.

Good to see @privateeyenews.bsky.social covering poisoning of White-tailed Eagles (WTE). In fact it is much worse than this. ALL WTEs found dead contained high levels of commercial rat poison. @markavery.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/08/01/n...

I can see the sea again. Back near Calais ready for returning to the UK Tuesday. There’s more of a sea breeze here tempering the searing heat. Me and Merryn managed a walk up to Cap Blanc Nez but it was very hazy so we couldn’t see the British coastline.

The martyr village at Oradour-sur-Glane was very chilling and moving. Let’s hope the world has learnt from this terrible history. The whole population of the village was rounded up by the Nazis and massacred on the 10th June 1944. The villlage today stands as it was left as a memorial.

The last few days were spent on the riverside aire in Saint-Cirq Lapopie along the Lot from Cahors. It’s very beautiful village and we did a lovely walk along the Chemin de Halage to Bouzies which has a very dramatic undercut section and amazing bas-relief sculpture.

The beautiful old city of St Malo, we walked from the campsite and around the city walls with amazing views over the sea to all the small islands. Stopped for a Breton galette and a beer for lunch before the walk back.

First stop in Cambridgeshire overnight on the way to starting the great French road trip. Nightmare journey on A1 and M25 with long delays heading to Chichester before the ferry to St Malo on Wednesday 🇫🇷

Cheeky couple of nights at Beadnell. The beach looked pristine this morning… until a certain black cocker had it all dug up.
