It’s got very busy up here tonight on the Staffs\Cheshire border. Fortunately I didn’t have to fight with people who cannot drive or park or be pleasant to others. I live here, so I avoided them and instead walked with the dog to a quiet spot and sat to watch the #eclipse over the #Cheshire plain.
I remember the total eclipse in 1999 when it fell dark and silent, so was honestly a little underwhelmed by this one.

🏚️ A pair of abandoned tin roof cottages near Nantwich, Cheshire. I visited and photographed these a few years ago. Inside they felt so lonely and had a sorrowful atmosphere. Driving passed again recently; I was sad to see they have been demolished.

From #Fairways to #FairUse: Repurposing #GolfCourses
How golf courses can be repurposed to meet the needs of people and planet
Autumn 2024
by Grace Crabtree & Dan Woolley"Back in April 2020, shortly after the UK had gone into lockdown for the first time, Guy Shrubsole, the campaigner and author of Who Owns England (2019), set out to map and investigate London’s golf courses. While a natural continuation of his wider work on land ownership, it was also given particular urgency in the moment – not least for those living in densely populated cities – as the nation began to ask questions about use of, and access to, #GreenSpace.
"The results of this research produced some surprising findings. For example, although a considerable number of golf courses in Greater London are held in private ownership, the figure is less than half, at 45%. This turns out to be only slightly larger than the number owned by councils (42%). After several decades in which councils, schools, and other public institutions have been forced to sell off green space – including school playing fields and county farms – it seems pertinent to ask why so many golf courses have remained untouched.
"Happily, there are signs of progress. In #Cheshire, the #WoodlandTrust recently purchased a former golf course, and have been busy planting trees. The vision is for the site to 'develop as native broadleaf woodland' and to link with other woodland sites as part of the larger #NorthernForest, providing green space and fighting #ClimateChange.
"And further east, on the #Lincolnshire coast, the #NationalTrust is busy converting a disused golf course – #Sandilands – to 'create new habitats for a variety of #wildlife, especially migrating birds like black-tailed #godwit, spotted #redshank and #spoonbills, along with breeding birds such as #snipe, #lapwings and #oystercatchers' This environmental mission is coupled with the social objective of providing 'a space where everyone can enjoy the benefits of being in nature.'
"More controversially, perhaps, the London-based architecture firm #RCKa has developed a proposal to build housing on an existing golf course in #Enfield, at the northern end of the city. Understandably, not everyone agrees with this vision, arguing that green space, once built upon, is lost forever. However, faced with an acute and growing housing crisis, it may be useful to ask whether some compromise solutions might begin to develop at the edges. [Yes, like housing with LOTS of Green Space, including #CommunityGardens , #FoodForests , and #WildlifeCorridors ! Problem solved!]
"What the above examples demonstrate is a growing interest in the potential for repurposing golf courses, for reasons ranging from climate change mitigation and biodiversity benefits, to providing space for housing and food growing.
"Which brings us to #Glasgow, where the #GlasgowCommunityFoodNetwork (#GCFN) are leading on a proposal to transform a disused golf course into a food growing space, with much of the land restored as a richly biodiverse space where wildlife can thrive."

I spotted this enigmatic door in an old stone wall behind Gawsworth Church in #Cheshire. A mysterious portal if ever I saw one.

A #contractor for a portable #toilet company in Northern England attacked an entire family during a #RoadRage incident in #Cheshire and ripped the door handle from their vehicle.
He has been sacked from the toilet company and will be investigated by the #Police - but its worrying someone in a marked work vehicle chooses to commit such a blatant #crime in full view of witnesses and #dashcam - presumably he's not fearing that many consequences (as any #criminal penalty will be relatively light due to no physical injuries occuring)

THIS IS TOTALLY FUCKED UP!!! They escape, breed, destroy, but can't be hunted?!!
#FeralSwine in #NewHampshire
Information on Feral Swine and Management Strategies"Since their introduction to North America, #WildPigs have become one of the more serious wildlife problems in the United States. A confirmed feral swine population in New Hampshire, primarily in #Grafton, #Sullivan and #Cheshire Counties, presents a unique management challenge.
"In most states, feral swine are considered an invasive or exotic species. Natural range expansion and illegal introductions, coupled with the extreme adaptability of feral swine, fuel the continued spread of this destructive animal.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture/APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) is a good resource for landowners who may be experiencing property and or agricultural damage. WS provides partnership-based Federal leadership to help resolve wildlife conflicts through an integrated wildlife damage management (IWDM) approach. The WS New Hampshire Program also participates in the WS National Wildlife Disease Program’s feral swine disease surveillance and monitoring efforts
Can Feral Swine be Hunted in New Hampshire?"Feral swine have no legal game status in New Hampshire, but are considered escaped private property and may only be hunted with permission of the property owner. Since 1949, feral swine have been defined in the state as animals 'Running at Large' under RSA 467:3. In southwestern New Hampshire, where the vast majority of the state's feral boar exist, they are considered the property of #BlueMountainForestAssociation, a privately owned preserve located in #CroydonNH. Permission is required to hunt free-ranging wild boar that escape from this property. If permission is granted (which it typically is), you will need to have a current regular NH hunting license, and you must hunt within legal hunting hours. Note that feral wild boar are limited in number and are difficult to locate without local knowledge."
