I’m of on a Shetland & Orkney tour at the end of the month for 12 days and very excited but wondering what’s best to wear? Tour company say waterproof jacket hat scarf & gloves & layers! So difficult here in south engkands 33° to believe it? Anyone out there have experience up there in September? 🤞

Still recovering from completing the Ludlow Magnalonga yesterday … a great event and some delicious loval food and drink along the way but blimey, that was a hot 10 miler 🥵 And look at the landscape … I long to see our Shropshire Hills looking green again 🙏🏻 #Shropshire

In the hot dry weather many are putting out shallow bowls of water in gardens to benefit wildlife. Could you do the same in your local churchyard in a shady place? Ponds are unsuitable for churchyards but a container with shallow edges or a ramp so small mammals can climb out can be helpful. #CFGA

Breast cancer people - do any of you have a good suggestion for a vitamin D supplement? Obviously there's the sun but in Northumberland apparently I need a bit extra according to my consultant.

If you can’t resist picking up a pebble or a perfect shell at the beach this photo is for you. There are 7 scallops (the shell Botticelli’s Venus was standing in) to find among the treasure:
