Here are a couple of details from Durham which I took on my visit. I like to seek out the original colour schemes and painting, fragments and ghost images can lurk in unexpected places.

Patterned columns supporting Durham Cathedral

A reconstruction/restoration of the patterns and colours which would have decorated the cathedral prior to the Civil war

Thanks for the recommendation. Susanna is really inspiring. I've enjoyed a couple of videos already this morning. I must get out on the bike today 🙂

Good ideas here, especially on external shading. One thing we’ve done is put one of those reflective shade cloths usually used for cars over the flat roof kitchen roof lantern. Let’s light in so can be left up all summer.

NEW! Big Wood is a rural spot, far away from a main road. It is a wood of oak, ash, hazel and field maple. It's night and the air is still. Another storm is brewing but for now the skies are quiet. 299 Owls of Big Wood (*sleep safe* with owls) > radiolento.podbean.com/e/299-owls-of-big-wood

Illustration of the wood, on a sign outside the wood. Makes it look lush and well managed. The sign is slightly weathered from being outside.

Worcester is sooo easy to get to on the train. And the museum is a short walk from the station. It must be worth a day trip.

I have seen a good number of posts from the UK that decry Count Binface as a mockery of democracy. The thing is, I think, that satire/humor can ferociously undercut illiberal movements’ legitimacy. The spectacle of it then becomes rather important itself. The unserious is ironically quite serious.

It's a great drawing and every picture, painting and drawing is a step in the way to the next one. Keep everything you create and put a date on it so you can trace those steps

Whatever did the Victorians do for us? They came up with some amazing ideas which we have abandoned. I need to get some awnings on the outside of my house, but this is much neater solution for upstairs. It probably relies on sash or inward opening windows though.

Nice morning out on the Church Stretton hills doing a 9km circular from Hope Bowdler up the ridge to Caer Caradoc hillfort & back. Haven’t been up here since the early 90s. Cloudy but good views all round of Shropshire.

The song of a blackbird is gorgeous @radiolento.bsky.social supported me through lock down and continues to do so now. They capture all the natural sounds of birds, waves, wind and bees.

This was me in the early 1970's. There was a forge in the village where Grandma lived and I loved to watch. Sometimes I would be allowed to sit on the horse (probably a pony, but it looked huge to me)

Muntjac are small but chunky. I can see their broad backs when I look down on them from horseback. I saw one with her fawn earlier in the year and the fawns are really, really tiny.

It's a warm day and more samples of the local strawberries have been tested. They were perfection 👌 Readers, they did not last very long.
