The Day I went for a walk.
Yeah it happens occasionally. I heard that there’d be some wildlife about. Just a few birds ;)

Radley Lakes is a nature reserve recently saved from being filled in with Ash from the Didcot Power station. It harbours lots of wildlife especially birds

Peterborough Cathedral is a treasure house of religious, cultural and community life.
In 2018 it will be the 900th anniversary since the foundation of the present Cathedral. The anniversary is being used as a focal point to develop and introduce our vision for the future which includes plans for a Heritage and Education Centre and a new Cathedral and Community Music School.

Weald and Downland Museum, a set on Flickr.<— Click for more pics

I had a lovely day yesterday down in peaceful sussex at this beautiful venue amongst ancient houses.  The Open Air Museum contains many old houses rescued from demolition, taken down piece by piece and rebuilt to make a little village.

It was a Herbs for Health course given by the lovely Christina Stapley

The course was given in the hall of one of the most beautiful medieval buildings I’ve ever had the pleasure to walk into.

After gathering from the nearby garden we used the stone hearth in the centre of the floor to concoct ointments and honeys while the smoke rose lazily up into the rafters.

Was a wonderful magical and unforgettable day.

The Japanese seem to be very strong and there seems to be a real sense of lets just get on with it and we can get through this.  Despite every horror they must have seen and been through it is good to see them making the best of things like this
