Just as with places, certain old objects have that magical, otherworldly quality to them. This medieval box with its scenes of courtly love carries its past with it through the centuries. I put my eye to its keyhole & see greyhounds and troubadours & tapestried halls…

From my walk yesterday

Goodnight from Nell Hartshorn dreaming of arms reaching out from the Grey Forest under the waves at Penstow. Goodnight from Penny Norton, convinced the books in the underground library at Woden College are whispering to each other again. Goodnight from Hookland.

A complex #ScreenSaturday, Avebury, #Wiltshire. Looking at this now, you'd be tempted to think it all Victorian, but no! The loft is C15th, restored by Charles Ponting in 1884, with his new screen constructed under it. The loft was hidden behind a false wall, discovered 1812 1/2

Blast from the past: It took me ten years to take this image. Until this photograph was taken, the vagaries of the weather had stoppered my ultimate goal of getting the sunrise over Beverley. This view from Westwood Common is universal and timeless. #thread

It stands alone in a field, the tower at least 500 years old, whilst much of the rest is an 1812 rebuild. St Matthew’s at Rushall #Wiltshire #SteepleSaturday

Innerwick Castle @TheCastleHunter image & reconstruction. Site besieged in a mock assault (1403) by Hotspur Percy & Archibald, 4th Earl of Douglas while gathering Scots, English & Welsh support to overthrow King Henry IV. A Scots army was near Innerwick but didn't attack Percy

Since you ask, Sharon, I’m forced to confess I’ve been sick to the back teeth for a decade or more by these flouncy frocked empty- headed Tudor women and their fol-de-rols. I can’t think of anything that makes them heroines. Silly people grinding the faces of the poor into…😈

Back to Wales? Tell her it’s the land of cats.

Brilliant. A million thanks. It just about says it all. One of the things about getting old is the absence of old friends. No one warns us how precious they become and how much they’re missed.
