Interesting sights by the roadside as we drive across from Salamanca into Portugal

For #MapsonMonday here are some of the wonderful illustrations from our earliest online #map by Christopher Saxton, printed in 1577. The ships were taken from real life but the sea monsters show the fear of unknown terrors. See more online #map s on our website, FREE to download.

Chestnut candles fully lit this morning

Happily claiming my place in the nerdy camp here; I’m definitely with Simon when it comes to having an interest in historical boundary changes. His example is one I’m familiar with, given that I grew up in Cambridgeshire.

A bank holiday #MysteryImageMonday , do you recognise anything pictured here? 🧐 Let us know!

I'll share some photos of waterfowl and warblers taken at Brandon Marsh today, over the next day or so. Starting with this Canada Goose and some gorgeous #goslings . Stay tuned!

Good morning from the Friends of Lister Lane Cemetery. 🪦🐞

25+ years, 2 generations of children & still going strong - good old Brio #ThomasTheTankEngine train track, today built by grandma & played with by grandad/grandson

Started my day watching the #sunrise at Fawsley, my local #OnePlaceStudy . Then home for breakfast and on to Brandon Marsh for birding / bird photography (lots of familiar favourites, and at one point I watched four Hobbies hawking in the sky above me).

I may be overseas but mystery #postcard Monday is alive and well with a double-header. A couple of tough no clues challenges here. Maybe street lighting experts can help with this slice of suburbia, and why are all the windows open? 1/2

#Beltain at Butser Ancient Farm was fantastic, as always! Fascinating talks, living history demonstrations, music, good food… We’ll be back next year, ticket gods permitting 🤞🏻🔥🤞🏻 #ButserBeltain

I was telling Mum about online newspaper archives and tried searching for Dad when he was president of his local Young Farmer's Club. Just a few seconds later...

#SailAwaySunday from Southampton Docks. Posted in 1908 to Marlow-on-Thames: 'Have just arrived here in pouring rain & look like having a rough crossing, or rather a wet one.'
