Interesting clouds. Blo' Norton, Norfolk, yesterday.
Clouds above a field with a line of trees. One cloud (or probably part of a cloud) is much darker.

Interesting dinky bird ❤️ For anyone (like me) who has no bird knowledge. These little birds should migrate from Siberia to Asia. They shouldn't be coming to the UK. They are known as vagrants, basically they're off course. However there are now other theories..

Today, 1st October, is the start of the pheasant shooting season. Some 50 million pheasants are released into the British countryside for this sport annually. If you have concerns about the impacts of this out-of-control industry, tell the government - handy guide below: bsky.app/profile/guys...

Those AI created adverts that small businesses are using look terrible. You can spot them a mile off. This is something rife amongst dog groomers. The ads are all looking the same.

Is your ivy flowering? Please don't cut it back if you can avoid it! At this time of year in the UK, ivy flowers are a brilliant late season pit-stop for hard-pressed pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths 🐝 #gardening #wildlife #nature

Norfolk coast to London in three days.. 'Performed if God permit' We mustn't forget how dangerous travel was. Particularly coach travel. You really were taking a risk. People died of hypothermia on coaches, quite literally froze to death.

A restless night. I'm assuming this blocked nose is waking me up. I have a full day ahead. I've made tea 🫖 but it has a funny taste. I hope I don't have a practical exam 🐕 thrown at me today 🙏 What are you all up to?

Just had Restore the National Trust lot pop up on my Instagram. They are a weird bunch. They're not really about restoring heritage, it's about limiting access to people they don't like, in my opinion. Silly sods, nothing is worth getting so agitated about.

I’d like to propose an autumn filled with plummy crushed velvet which feels entirely appropriate as summer has given way to chill September mornings here in the South West of England. It would feel like hoiking around your own cosy sofa. Late #1880s #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Good morning - I hope you slept like a suet-stuffed long-tailed tit - I'm starting with ‘The Library of Thorvald Boeck’, Harriet Backer, 1902. Available as a single greetings card, or as part of the Harriet Backer Collection. www.rathergoodart.co.uk/product/harr... #harrietbacker #libraryart
An oil painting by Harriet Backer depicting a friend's library. Sunlight enters through a window on the left, illuminating the green foliage of a houseplant, a table set with four chairs, and behind, rows of enticing books.

My first sighting of Fly Agaric toadstools. It was an empty access road to Kailzie Gardens, but I stopped very carefully and got some lovely phone pics. Lovely things and looking freshly painted in the rain. #ScottishBorders.
