Visited the wonderful Hellens Manor in Herefordshire today. The property itself spans history from the Harold Godwinson (he of the Battle of Hastings) to the present day. Super art collection too including paintings by Van Eyck, Tintoretto, Goya et al. #HellensManor #ManorHousesofEngland

Had a great Spring outing to Kent this weekend visiting #ScotneyCastle and #KnoleHouse. It was lovely to wander around these two beautiful places #TheNationalTrust
Had a great stroll over to Wapping the other day taking in some of the old historic pubs enroute including #TheTownofRamsgate #TheProspectofWhitby and #TheGrapes …and boats on the Thames gave off a bit of a Victorian Seafarers vibe themselves too... #OldPubsofLondon #WappingStrolls
#Brighton is looking good this sunny morning #SoonBeSpring
Interesting…I must revisit Stamford this year…it’s been a while…🙂
Lovely to see a Kingfisher on The Hogsmill here in Ewell. #Kingfishers #TheHogsmill
Any reason why they’re called the ‘Bottle Lodges’ 🤔?

A Halo’d Half-Moon with #Jupiter from here in West Sussex #WondersofTheSolarSystem #LookUpandOutintoTheUniverse #TheMoon @proftimob.bsky.social
The Surrey Hills around Peaslake was the location for my first long(ish) walk of 2025. It was a chilly but wonderfully sunny ramble with far-reaching views over Surrey & West Sussex #TheSurreyHills #Peaslake
Just had a great Norwich-based break taking in Norwich itself, Cromer and Great Yarmouth. Lucky to have two days of cloudless, blue winter skies too #Norwich #Cromer #GreatYarmouth
London in Winter #WinteryLondon
A few local pics from Brighton and Storrington. Such a difference weatherwise from Friday to Saturday…
