  2. Datura stramonium (Thorn-apple, Jimsonweed), a poisonous member of the nightshade family, used by Central American shamans. Growing in a field near #Bath #Somerset #UK, likely came from pheasant food.

  3. What’s your favourite ancient monument?
    Here’s my local stone circle at Stanton Drew (in Somerset).
    There are 3 circles + other features that combine to make it the 3rd largest complex of standing stones in England.
    In the garden of the village pub - the Druid’s Arms - is a collapsed burial chamber that predates the stone circles.
    Worth stopping for a pint 🍻

  4. I wonder what Roman #exmoor under Emperor Claudius in AD54 would have been like… 🤔
    Black & white of course & in winter bloody cold with some nasty drafts …💨 up your toga…😂
    Nice views though 👀 Old Burrow Fortlet & Signal Station along the #somerset & #northdevon coastline of the #bristolchannel 👍 #exmoornationalpark
