‘No danger of blowing up Reading’
Well that is a disappointment!
This is in relation to designing and constructing nuclear warheads at Aldermaston. The testing must be limited though although I suppose Reading could be used for the final validation check.

There are two new posts up on my Patreon.
The first is public and free for everyone to read. It contains thoughts about drawing from historic photos, the ageing process, and how words can affect the way you think of visuals. It also has the link to an incredible Ken Russell film. Read it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/81583239

Day 21 of the 2022 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Scarce Blue-tailed #damselfly has a blue tail and is pretty scarce. If you look closely, the blue patch is closer to the end of the abdomen than the normal Blue-tailed. I'm sure you can guess how to distinguish it from the two species of Red-eyed Damselfly, which also have blue tails. This was on a British Dragonfly Society guided walk near #Aldermaston. #Berkshire #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography
