He looks very happy!

What a beautiful expressive face! 😀
On of the many little treasures, amongst the big treasure that is Lincoln Cathedral 🤩

Oh, thanks so much John, much appreciated! Brilliant 🤩

And thanks for re-directing to James 😊

Yes, but the overall effect in the room is quite interesting anyway. It’s for sale and know someone thinking of putting in an offer, so just curious to find out a bit more about it generally. The whole building has been very substantially remodelled several times!

Morning! Do any fellow historic building fans have a copy of Pevsner’s Nottinghamshire guide that they could kindly consult for me? Looking for info on The Friary/Shalem House, in Newark. Got the listing description but know it’s in Pevsner too. Thanks! ☺️
This is in a fab panelled room in there…🤩

Happy Friday, from a very cold but beautiful Cambridgeshire 🥰

The awe inspiring Yerebatan Cistern, in Istanbul, was built by the Romans almost 1500 years ago and has an 80,000 ton storage capacity! 😮 🤩

Photo credits to my lovely friend, Sally Wilson, who visited Istanbul last week.

Another photo and link to further info, in comments below…

Yes, there are lots of great wall paintings in this area…let me know if you’d like any recommendations! 😊

On a chilly afternoon, retreating to a cosy 15th century pub is just the thing! 😍
The Crown, Bildeston, Suffolk.

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I really liked it. We ate, and stayed in, The Crown last night…it was excellent 😊

Loving the colours in the very pretty village of Bildeston, Suffolk 😍

Thank you! ☺️

Yes, it’s a bit early, but…it’s one of the best modern Christmas films! Sparkle and shine ✨ 😀

Beautiful November light and colours near Ullswater, Cumbria 😍

The big skies and soft, muted colours of Suffolk in November 🥰

Swathes of wildflowers bringing pops of November colour and cheer to this lovely little bit of Cambridgeshire 🥰
Priory Park, St. Neots

Absolutely! I’ve had treatments I’d never heard of before. The team at Addenbrookes have been great.

Yes, it’s been a tough few months and it’s ongoing as I have dialysis 3 times a week now until I can have a transplant. Have just tried to be as positive as I can throughout though, as I just have to get on with it!

As someone who now needs a kidney transplant myself (due to damage caused quite suddenly by an autoimmune disease), here’s some information about becoming a living donor 🥰

Autumn lunchtime wanders…peering across the pond, from under a very lovely weeping willow 🥰

I enjoyed a visit to the small, but interesting, Norris Museum in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, at the weekend. A few items caught my eye, but particularly this very beautiful and poignant medieval brooch and these fabulous Roman faces 😀

This beautiful bridge in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, dates to the 1420’s. It was damaged by Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads during the Civil War, hence the differing shapes of the arches - the pointed ones are original and the round ones are earlier 18th century rebuilds.

Don’t forget to have a look at NorthStar Landscapes, my new Etsy shop! 😃
Perfect for Christmas gifts, there’s free postage and packing and all prints come with photo mounts 🥰

Ahh, lovely!
