Spring Green
Sun through fresh spring beech leaves is quite a special thing. The bluebells have gone already, but this fabulous light is more than enough reward. The bird song was wonderful as well.

I hope one day to see Roundheaded Rampion - it's such a striking flower.
I live in the #Chilterns on chalk and know my local #wildflowers well - but sometimes I crave a bit of exotica!

A new studio painting of the Stonor valley in the Chiltern hills. I'm trying to convey the beautiful winter light which broke through the clouds over the valley. Oil on gesso panel, 36 x 46 cm.

Thatching uses the rain’s angle of descent against it. The material isn’t in itself waterproof, but it guides the drops from the roof’s surface to the ground. It’s gravity judo. I watched the thatch going up on this row of cottages. It was weirdly restful.

A painting I did on Wednesday near Hambleden. I never finished it due to some inquisitive cows who obscured my view. It was eventually finished in my studio. Oil on primed panel, 28 x 36 cm.

Spent the morning and early afternoon yesterday with the dogs in Hambleden. Plenty of walking, painting and a coffee in the village store. The dogs had a good swim in the Hambleden stream. Oil on gesso panel, 18 x 24 cm.

The Ridgeway: Hike the 5,000-year-old pathway that's Britain's oldest road
Link
📌 Summary: The Ridgeway is a 87-mile prehistoric trackway that cuts across the chalk hills of southern England. It has been in use for at least 5,000 years and is widely recognised as Britain's oldest road. The path is littered with Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, and other historical features. The Ridgeway is a designated National Trail and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
🎯 Key Points:
The Ridgeway has been in use for at least 5,000 years and is widely recognised as Britain's oldest road.
The path cuts diagonally across the chalk downs of southern England, linking Overton Hill in Wiltshire with Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.
The Ridgeway is part of a much longer trading route that once connected the coasts of Dorset and Norfolk.
The path is littered with Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, and other historical features.
The Ridgeway is a designated National Trail and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
The path is dotted with sloping pastures and designated public bridleways for horse riders.
Rural pubs remain an integral part of Ridgeway folklore.
Usage of the Ridgeway has increased in recent years, especially since the pandemic.

Chinnor from the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, 1911 - Vertigen Postcard

Hey #BikeTooter, I'm now 25% in to my #RRtY #Audax adventure. We had a very successful day on Saturday, blessed once again with good weather. This was the toughest ride yet of the series, a full 1% (2km elevation for 200km distance) got out in to some lovely #Chilterns countryside. Met a chap who was 20mins in to a round the world cycle trip, which was incredibly cool, also saw about 400 head of #deer during the early morning section way more than normal!

Reconnecting with Deep Time and stillness, at the remaining earthworks of an Iron Age hill fort at Pulpit Hill, in the Chiltern hills of Buckinghamshire. When the white noise & demands on attention become too much, feeling the passing of time over earth that was once so urgent and strategic, now overgrown with beech trees and carpets of leaves and moss, can help me come back to life again.
