  A bit early for #StandingStoneSunday but it's okay ... I've got plenty more! Mitchell's Fold, Shropshire #stonecircle #ukcountryside #landscapephotography

  Look who's come to stay again (she's not impressed because I made her move out of my spot on the bed!) 😅🥰🤩 #dogsofmastodon

  From this angle it doesn't look very high but in reality that solitary tree in the middle of the shot stands on a steep ridge commanding amazing views towards the Shropshire hills in the north, the Black Mountains to the south west, and the Malvern Hills to the south east. I love to sit up there ... when my poor knees can cope with the climb (or more to the point, the descent!) #SilentSunday #ukcountryside #landscapephotography #borderlands #trees

  Here's another #personalplaylist track for #JukeboxFridayNight... The Selector was the first live gig I went to after getting clean and sober ... I was in agonies of self-consciosness ... until I started dancing with everyone else. Probably the best gig ever!

  This is a beautiful song about our interconnectedness. My mum used to sing it to me when I was a young child. When she suffered a brain injury in 2019 and was lost from us for a while in her broken mind, I would sing it to her as one of many ways to try and reach her 💔 Woody Guthrie - Ship in the Sky For #PersonalPlaylist #JukeboxFridayNight

  Another musical door was unapologetically kicked in when I was 14 and my brother, having moved to the unimaginably cosmopolitan city of Exeter, came home and played this Conflict b-side to me ... #JukeboxFridayNight #PersonalPlaylist https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5NOFareulCo&si=GIY9HgD9NY90bwmi

  #PersonalPlaylist — songs with personal signficance? Oh fuck, I could be here all day 😅 Here's a good start ... I was 12 years old when The Smiths first appeared on TOTP and, living in a small rural village wondering why I felt like such a lonely misfit, I think it saved my life 💜 #JukeboxFridayNight https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=_2s9ke-pKWw&si=oxXxnV53fEfHZ0sb

  On a more cheerful note from the #history I've been sharing for #JukeboxFridayNight here's a pic for #FootpathFriday from my recent clifftop camp in Cornwall (which, for me, has its own history, as I've been coming here - St Agnes/Porthtowan - since I was a nipper!)

  There's a number of songs about the New Age Traveller #history of the (misnamed) Battle of the Beanfield (it was an ambush, not a battle), including Poison Girls - Stonehenge and The Levellers - Battle of the Beanfield I've chosen Ian Dury's 'Itinerant Child' for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight mainly because this link has some accompanying video footage of the event. It still brings tears to my eyes (and I wasn't even there ... but these are my people) https://...

  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 #askfedi #nature #ukcountryside

  A couple of doors for #doorsday from my recent #RuthsRoadTrip I love these hidden, neglected kind of doors ... I always want to step through them and see what's on the other side 😊

  So, working backwards through the last 2 weeks of being unable to post photos (due to poor signal) ... here's today's #HolyWell in Trellech, South Wales. Originally dedicated to Annis - celtic goddess of rivers, water, wells, magic, and wisdom (according to a sign at the site - later christianised to St Anne's Well, but also known at The Virtuous Well. Said to cure complaints of the eyes and women's issues (what, it'll cure the patriarchy?) #sacredsites #RuthsRoadTrip #Noma...

  Hooray, I've finally got some signal down here in Cornwall. I've missed y'all 🤩 And since it's still Wednesday (just about), I'll bid you a happy #SeaWednesday / #MeerMittwoch from my car-camping spot on Polzeath beach 🧡

  And while we're on Eddi Reader ... this one is the wrong use of the word 'fair' for #marketsandfairs but ... I'm a bit of a rebel, so deal with it 😉 Eddi Reader - That's Fair #JukeboxFridayNight https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=93YDlCq32ss&si=NfzPuHY7ThZ9I0NL
