Claire Valentine Saying some men need “cultural education” so that they don’t MURDER & RAPE WOMEN & GIRLS is not the winning argument you think it is And framing people objecting to anyone justifying the MURDER & RAPE WOMEN & GIRLS as ‘hate’ quite frankly disgusts me…

With pink blush, I recommend malachite, every time 😉. Foliate spandrels and and an old fella looking down from the keystone. Corfu Old Town. #AdoorableThursday #Corfu

This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! All Sporting Bodies must adhere to the law and protect women's sports! Do we have to take legal action to make you? We will! #SaveWomensSports #XX

A roughly hewn tub font, backed by post-Byzantine frescoes. Church of the Dormition of Our Lady, Kalabaka. A very special church. #fontsonFriday #FrescoFriday #Greece #meteora  Pericles' Tripod Tap/click for full pic, & let your eyes adjust!

Londoners, and those well-travelled will recognise Liverpool St Station. Painted here by Marjorie Sherlock in 1917, who studied under Walter Sickert & Harold Gilman. It all hangs together rather well, even after we notice the stock & platforms are pink! #stationsaturday #London

Make Athelney An Island Again! Once, the whole of England was reduced to a tiny island; a few acres of dry land marooned amongst the marshes of one of the largest wetlands in Europe. It was the impenetrable nature of these wetlands that led King Alfred the Great to take refuge

The foal started galloping just three hours after its birth and surprised even its mother.

Exquisite!

There are many sad things in this world, one of the saddest to me, is seeing old people have to go into a home. We give them nice titles like care homes , even appealing names like Butternut Lodge and Sycamore House. The stark reality in many cases is the cheapest of cheap

I hope this month is good. #SEPTEMBER #SeptemberWish

#thicktrunktuesday Here in the woods of #Meteora, the Plane trees are the real deal, not the hybrids we see in London. This is Platanus orientalis, a particularly magnificent specimen.  Pericles' Tripod

The arrest of @glinner is indefensible & a threat to free speech. It's an insult to all the women who have reported serious crimes, rape & domestic violence, & had to put up with inadequate investigations & police failures. Such an indictment of current priorities.

Holy Trinity Monastery, Meteora. Walls, walls, walls! A wall of sandstone/conglomerate, a rustic outer wall, finally the mid C15 katholikon with decorative brickwork. Kalabaka is the town below. #wallsonWednesday #meteora  Pericles' Tripod

Chastleton House. Window with warrior. I love the way the light & shade (chiaroscuro, if you prefer) falling over his shoulder replicates a tunic. #windowsonwednesday #chastletonhouse a wonderful place. Exposed for the bust, window left to burn out.
