The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford, Oxfordshire is a stand out in a city of stunning architecture. Built 1737 in Baroque style for the University of Oxford to house a library, it’s now a reading room. Before you ask, ‘camera’ in Latin means ‘room’. #architecture #history #library #photography a0024-ast
I don’t get it, bubbles in tea? I’m sticking with my Earl Grey & buttered toast. So what’s this mango tea with passion fruit boba all about then? Explain it to me. Bubble Tea shop : Oxford, Oxfordshire. #bubbletea #tea #drink #photography #cafe a9657-a1f
flags, flags, and more flags : Mevagissey Harbour, Cornwall. #boat #harbour #flags #fishing #photography a9011-ast
chalk trails : Meon Valley, Hampshire. Our land is chalk and clay crossed by lots of great trails, just one person wide. Grab them in the summer, in winter they become slippery, the steep ones unusable. #wildflowers #nature #hillside #trail #photography d8223-ast
Harvest & Heat : from green to golden in just weeks; a combination of harvest and heatwaves. Our normally green grass is yellow, some local roads melted, and we happily ignore climate change. Meon Valley, Hampshire. #farming #crop #harvest #landscape #rural #climate #photography d8504-velc
The Eel House at Alresford straddles the River Arle in Hampshire, and is extremely rare. Dates from 1820, and used into the 1980’s. Iron cages under the building trap eels which were then sold live to markets as far away as London. #history #eels #river #fish #photography d6339-ast

Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, dates from 1079; its Great West Window has a story. In the 1642 civil war Roundheads smashed the window, city citizens hid the broken glass under their floors for 20 years, it was then rebuilt into the kaleidoscopic patterns seen today. #history #photography d8249-vc
Why the amusing name? This wonderful pub in Falmouth, Cornwall, dates back to the mid 1700’s. The original name for Falmouth was Pennycomequick – an Anglicisation of the Celtic Pen-y-cwm-cuic “head of the creek”, referring to its position at the mouth of the River Fal. #photography a8834-ast1c
Rising through the trees Trelissick Water Tower at Feock in Cornwall was built in 1865. Its height (12-15 metres) was designed to provide high enough water pressure to fight fires at Trelissick House. It’s now a holiday cottage with four floors connected by a spiral staircase. #photography a8742c
