Pottering along, anachronistically (so am told) - but always good humouredly, I hope. Mainly arts, travel, gardens, horses and the sea. 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺

Amazing spectacle of #NorthernLights over #Dartmoor - very feint to the naked eye, but vivid via low exposure camera. Making the most magical place even more so.

The #Cosmos seeds that came with one of the spring issues of @GdnsIllustrated have produced amazing, hard working & very classy plants all summer. Stupidly didn’t keep the packet - must plant this variety again - anyone remember the name?

Fabulous walk around #StMarys #Scillies - reminded of a gentle age in every respect in the Old Town Church Yard. Would that every world leader held such simple, glorious and peaceful places in their heart. @IOSTravel #Scillonian on the horizon.

Misty up on the moor this afternoon, but what a joy to be riding up there - especially this glorious chestnut giant, enjoying well deserved retirement from hunt service. #equinereboot #Dartmoor @dartmoornpa

I’m Backing the Bid for Plymouth to be UK City of Culture 2029! 🎭🌊
From the Barbican to our brilliant local makers, Plymouth’s culture is world-class. This bid is about securing investment, creating jobs, and showing that Britain’s Ocean City is a powerhouse of creativity ⚓️✨
This sad street scene in #Walthamstow needs setting to music @johnshuttlewrth Matches your characteristic pathos, but a happy ending would be nice.

We visited #thestoryofemily near #Liskeard Extraordinary telling of the life of #EmilyHobhouse who campaigned against awful treatment of the interned during the Anglo-Boer war. Most imaginative & immersive museum I have ever visited - such an inspiring figure. Must see ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
