  1. Walked length of Princes Street to Calton Hill, then North Bridge, Royal Mile, George IV Bridge, Meadows. Pretty pleased how much more walking I can manage again, albeit at slower pace than normal.

    Now much-needed seat, rest, drink & read in Cloisters.

    This week's pix come from a visit to Gloucester, Bath and Wells a few weeks ago, starting with a set from the magnificent #GloucesterCathedral . The #cloisters are particularly fine and featured in #HarryPotter movies.

  6. "One must always walk the Earth with wonder, for it is full of miracles to be witnessed"

    Original day off plan was for cinema, but wasn't in the mood. Instead, enjoyable stroll, then pint and continue my reading in Cloisters.

  8. Acanthus, Bear's Breech Acanthus mollis
    (Acanthaceae)

    Found at The Met Cloisters, I was told this is a plant that flower once per year. We were happy to arrive right at 11 am when there was a plant tour of the four cloister gardens.

  9. For #FensterFreitag here are the cloisters at Chichester Cathedral. I worked a couple of minutes walk from here for several years so my lunchtimes to get away from the desk would quite often either involve the cathedral buildings and its gardens, or the precinct centre, always with camera in hand for anything of interest.

  11. #Glasgow University turns 572 years old today, founded 7th January, 1451, so to mark its birthday, here is one of my favourite spots in that part of the city, the gorgeous Cloisters flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

    The fourth oldest university in the English-language world (behind Oxford, Cambridge & Saint Andrews).

  13. Have managed decent afternoon walk, take a few photos, by pure chance bumped into someone I've not seen in ages & chatted in Meadows.

    Still tire out easily, so Cloisters for seat, drink & sit with book. First time in a pub in weeks, not been in since the surgery. Beer and book therapy now.

  20. Enjoying Lakes Brew Co's pale ale in Cloisters . Lovely, smooth, refreshing pint...

    Barman tells me master brewers started their own Indy brewery when their previous brewery company made them all redundant during Lockdown (despite govt wage subsidies)

  22. It’s taken me less than a week to completely disrupt my sleep schedule. Oops! Trying not to stress about it. I’ll try to get back on track next week when I start job hunting.

    I’ve just been staying up late, #editing #photos the last two nights, and I’ve found myself enjoying the process to much to want to go to bed! I haven’t felt this #creative in so long and it’s #wonderful and #liberating.

    Next week one day, I may take myself on another wee field trip, to The Cloisters in Washington Heights. A breathtaking collection of medieval art and architecture. One of the galleries is the 12th century Spanish chapel, Fuentidueña. It had fallen into disrepair in Spain, so John D. Rockefeller spent 30 years negotiating to acquire it for the museum. He was finally successful, and had it dismantled, catalogued, and shipped it, piece by piece to NYC so it could be faithfully reconstructed in Washington Heights. It’s magnificent. The #Cloisters is another one of my favorite places to #photograph and it’s been ages since I’ve been there. That would be great!

  23. Escaped noisy kickyball crowds at my end of town, awaiting chum in Cloisters, which thankfully died not have TV, so no sports fans shouting away at telly.
