I'm curious about a lot of things. Never enough books. Love b&w photography and art. Oh, and by the way, I have a thing for lighthouses. NO POLITICS 🚫
And this morning the Shed is an earthen bowl, filled with sunwarmed blackberries…

I try to refuse sentiment, but few words stir my heart more than Free Public Library. However, I will admit that the phrase Free Local Museum comes exceedingly close. How can one not adore an eccentric collection of obscure objects acting as ghost-magnets? – #CJosiffe
Good evening from the Friends of Lister Lane Cemetery.
We drive darkening, ghosted roads. In these last minutes of solar alchemy, every turn is towards folklore. We become one with the land's long memory. One with a hodology where every traveller is another time's temporal shade. We become high strangeness. – #DAKilroy, 1982
Those feral churches – beyond diocesan office, enjoying green communion – call the imagination. Even before visiting, we've a knowing their ivy-blinded windows, their ghost-congregation cooled interiors, refuse this barbarous heat. Offer spirit-shaded sanctuary. – #DAKilroy
The two archways at Dawn. Both images taken this morning in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor. Taken just a few moments apart. Which is your favourite?
Hmm..curled up in my nest chair with squishmallows..my book and my headphones on while diggers dig.. I’m not a stereo type anything..no not me..😉
Rain falls in faint haze, We tilt our head to refresh, Receive a soft kiss. #dailyhaikuprompt refresh

Hanging on the wall in the entrance hall was the #portrait of the former mistress. As I stood there looking at her it was as if she was studying me. Hazel eyes, full lips, auburn hair. It was as if she was judging to see if I was worthy of the role. Was I worthy? Only she knew. #thingstowriteabout
Bees struggle in this weather 🥵 We find a lot of bees running out of fuel when perched on our sunflowers Use a water bottle & fine spray the flowers, fruit, seeds (what ever stage they are at) close to the bee, & they will hoover them up & regain strength
