Not seeing enough postings about the spectacular sunrise this morning. Obviously red sky in the morning means we are all doomed (according to the shepherds warning anyway). Red sky on bluesky

You don't often see a no horse drawn vehicles sign and it was my first viewing of the private crossing warning. In fact for such a small crossing in the North Downs it was quite a sign fest sign@showmeasign.online #northdowns #roadsigns #levelcrossing

We popped into Robert Sayles (John Lewis) in Cambridge for a relaxing cup of tea but is it possible to ignore such a teapot travesty? In a Morecambe and Wise style, they had all the right colour lids but not necessarily on the right colour teapots

This sign is in Wigtown for #fingerpostFriday. It is known as Scotland's book town which is why book shops feature on two of the fingers

A green finger post stands 9n a street corner with houses behind. The directions on the fingers are in white text on a green background and include destinations such as book shops and the bird hide

An unexpected delay to my train this morning was #NetworkRail track inspection vehicle 153385 which stopped at the platform for the crew to change ends before heading back south down the Arun Valley line. With recent worries about track conditions it's good to know it is being inspected #ukrailways

By the amount of greenery it looks as if your heat has not been accompanied by the relentless drought which has taken out most of our garden plants. But the dahlias are doing well in their pots with daily watering and even some of the dried out things still look interesting

Visited Leith Hill this afternoon and found the tower open. Thanks to the lovely @nationaltrust.org.uk people for tipping me off on what to look for (Wind turbines off Shoreham, Gatwick, the Shard) and for allowing me to go to the highest spot in South East England at 313m above sea level

You can choose your own reasons why you visit the @nationaltrust.org.uk but even if it is just for the rabbits in the rooms then that is ok. Doesn't just have to be for the history, scones or the plant shop like this one at Standen in Sussex that we visited today

Little rabbits were in some of the rooms if you looked for them. Not just rabbits, active characters like this one with a sewing machine

Looking more like Peter Rabbit this character was sitting next to a black vase or jug

It's a win win. I get a lightly loaded commute home after an office day and the OH can watch the football which will hopefully be over by the time I get in. I'll still be expecting dinner on the table obviously. Definitely fewer people waiting for the Jubilee Line at Canary Wharf as I departed

The secret red room at St Pancras is still all locked up. It used to be a shop but is now full of European entry and exit system (EES) kiosks to allow Eurostar passengers to register. Somebody obviously spent a lot of money on it but I've never seen it open.
