Nature and heritage. And probably churches. And possibly ducks. And maybe almost certainly gooses. https://www.youtube.com/@hordeofducks

Spotted this lovely huge moth on the back wall. I think it’s possibly a red underwing moth, they seem quite common, but someone is welcome to correct me if I’ve got it wrong. #moths

OH will be raising funds for Leicestershire Historic churches next month. Do spare him a few pennies if you can.

GP did a weird head manoeuvre on me to try and fix my vertigo. Told me not to move my neck for 48hrs now. Oh that will be fun.

Harvested fields under grey Leicestershire skies. Love the contrast when you get dark clouds with sunshine

Weird item of the day klaxon, another find from my parents’ house clearance. According to Google image search it’s either an ink scraper, a blood letting knife or a letter opener. I wonder which it is.

Wow thank you. Fascinating. Never seen one quite like that but it seems they’re fairly common. Appreciate the id.

Oooo look at this fella @legionofllama.bsky.social spotted. I wonder if @ajcann.bsky.social knows what it is.

The jackdaws and blackbirds do the same here and toss lumps of moss all over the patio. Saves me hiring someone to do it I guess. πŸ˜€

With you there. In a very similar scenario here. We’re still dealing with it and coming to terms with the changes. Hugs

Brief break in the clouds with the next rain approaching. I think we’ve had more rain in the last two days than in the last 3 months combined.

It looks so tiny and yet must once have been a huge dominating feature in the local area

If fish cakes are made of fish, what are dog cakes made of?
