Tamworth Castle. Once the heart of Mercia and home to my hero Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians. #Architecture #History #Staffordshire #Mercia #EastCoastKin #Scape #Landscape #OnThisDay

I'm the UK, diesel fuel is expensive at £2.00per litre. All thanks to Donald Trump. £2.00 per litre converts to approximately $10.03 per US gallon (at a GBP/USD exchange rate of $1.32).

Listening to all the Beethoven symphonies this weekend. It's overdue. I miss hearing the power of a full orchestra. I spend too much time on piano soloists or chamber ensembles. . #History #BeethovenSymphonies #ClassicalMusic

How utterly appalling. I hope the leaders of the world condemn this atrocity.

Climate change? What climate change? This passion flower is out in the garden in October! Second flowering of the year. Elsewhere, Apple blossom is appearing. #ClimateCrisis

Derelict tower on the shores of Lake Garda, Italy. Actually in the town of Garda but a short climb to reach it. Garda is truly beautiful. #Architecture #History #Italy #EastCoastKin #Scape #Landscape #OnThisDay

Great Malvern. Very pretty town. We visit often for the theatre or the countryside. An area with a lot of history, from ancient hill forts to Edward Elgar and Morgan Cars #Architecture #History #OnThisDay #Landscape #EastCoastKin #Scape #Churches

Holiday memory from last week. Dubrovnik is an interesting if crowded place and quite expensive. Lots to study about the recent conflict #Architecture #History #Dubrovnik #Dalmatia #Croatia #EastCoastKin #Scape #Landscape

Just finished We Are Not Machines & this bit at the end really struck me: “It [the book] is not just about the possibility that we will come to be treated like machines, but that we will come to see ourselves as machines, or poor approximations of them” It expresses something I think about a lot…

Elsie MacGill was the first woman in the world to earn a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering (1929). The "Queen of the Hurricanes" was a pioneering Canadian aircraft designer who led production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1905. #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white close-up portrait photograph of Elsie MacGill, the pioneering Canadian aeronautical engineer known as the “Queen of the Hurricanes.” Shown from the shoulders up, she has short, wavy light hair, wears thin round wire-rimmed glasses, and a light collared blouse under a darker jacket, looking slightly toward the camera with a calm, neutral expression against a plain studio background.
