  3. Medieval wall paintings, Norman windows, and an altar lovingly arranged like a still life. This tiny redundant church at Michaelchurch was rather special.

  9. #ThickTrunkTuesday eh? Well, since I'm obsessed with ancient trees at the moment, here's a Sweet Chestnut at Croft Castle, probably planted around 1620–1680

    This is not one of my recent photos - actually taken April 2025 - but I'd searched them out because I plan to make another visit

  11. Only a 10 mile bike ride today to Stoke Prior.

    Had a very weird experience at this church today ... this strange sense of fear and trepidation as I went to step across the threshold. Weirder still, I was recounting the visit afterwards and, when I got to that moment in the story, my throat suddenly constricted and my mouth could barely form the words!

  12. The only good thing about being awake at 4.30am ... listening to the owls calling to each other outside ❤️

  14. This was my quest for today: the pudleston oaks, known as Adam and Eve. I couldn't seem to take a photo that properly conveyed their ancient gnarled beauty.

    They're mentioned in the doomsday book according to one lady i spoke to at the church (so probably 1000 years old), and another lady told me that these days sheep take shelter in their hollow trunks.

  16. Also met these guys while I was out on my bike ... had to laugh at the brown one who turned his back on me but then couldn't resist getting his face in the photo 😅

  18. A 15-mile round trip on my newly acquired e-bike to go and see this absolute gem of a medieval church 💛

  20. I've got a new piece of writing on my blog. This one's called 'Lost? or Found'

    "This, then, is how I heard the story of the waterway and another stranger tale: by being led astray by the sat-nav and ending up in a farmyard."

  22. Anyone know what bird this feather comes from? I'm having trouble identifying it.

    It's about 15cm long, found on open farmland, next to a river, in UK West Midlands

  24. Stopped to brew a cup of tea next to a random church in a tiny little hamlet ... AND FOUND THIS 😍🤩😍

    From the info board: "Built around 1130, St Mary's [Kempley, Gloucestershire] is an extraordinary survival from the Norman world.
    The wall paintings were discovered in 1872 hidden behind layers of whitewash. They are among the most complete 12th-century religious paintings ever found in England and are of international significance."

    I love my life!

  25. Oh my God, churchyard photos just look so good in #monochrome

    This was Linton Church, near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire ... where my friend and I went mainly to see England's oldest Yew tree (of which you can expect photos shortly!)

    Such a wonderful day of hunting, exploring, and chance encounters!

  27. Oooh #FungiFriday eh? I didn't know that was a thing but, funnily enough, here's a beauty I snapped yesterday.

    No idea what it is ... so I didn't eat it 😉

  28. The funniest thing at the river yesterday ... the first lamb came down to drink, jumped out of his skin when he saw me on the opposite bank, and ran away.

    Moments later, he came back with another lamb, they both came down to drink, and then the second lamb stood sentry on the bank while the first one continued to drink 🐑💖🐑💫

  30. Another photo from my recent adventures in Cornwall ❤️

    The iconic red phone box - mostly defunct now - and in this case, being reclaimed by nature!

  32. So, while I was at St Kew's Well in North Cornwall, I also visited the Church ... it was pretty cool, but the graveyard was phenomenal!

  34. Had some friends visiting from Stroud today ... so naturally, I took them down to the river. Even the dog had a companion 💚

  38. I think the sheep were having a meeting about my swimming activities ... they eventually decided I was alright, and came down to drink from the river!

  40. Honestly, i wasn't even out Well hunting today, but I stumbled across another water feature - a spring-fed drinking fountain.

    Capped, unfortunately... but the spring continued to flow behind it (picture in comments)

  41. I present to you the Bronze Age standing stone, known as Queen's Stone.

    Excavated in 1926 by Alfred Watkins (of Ley Lines fame), twice as much lies buried beneath the ground.

    It sits alone in a huge bend of the River Wye, near Symonds Yat.

    And the strangest thing about it? There appears to be no surviving folklore about this remarkable stone 🤷🏼‍♀️

  42. Close up of the double-decker bus, abandoned in a field, for #FensterFreitag #windowsfriday Spotted on the way to Bewdley, Worcestershire

  43. Another day, another wheat field 😉

    I was actually out seeking more hidden holy wells ... but I'll get onto those photos in a minute!

    So much beautiful scenery around Herefordshire 💚
