Let's be friends

It's been a long day, lovely, but long. An early night is called for.

Back into the lane after a weekend of gadding about and the hogweed is flowering! Such a poor name for one of nature's statuesque beauties. They're wonderful; flower, seedhead and skeleton - magnificently exuberant and come autumn and the frost they'll still be standing proud, twinkling...x . . #hogweed #hedgerow #lane #realflowersoftheseason #simplenaturefinds #spreadnaturelove #countrysidewalks #englishcountryside #britains_talent #mothernature #wildflowers #flora #capturingbritain_nature #countrysidelovers #inspiredbynature #wildaboutflowers #thewildernesstonic #beautyinsimplicity #mywildflowerstory
One of the things I love about bell-ringing is that when we go out on tower visits like this one yesterday, we come across the most amazing things, hidden away in otherwise unremarkable parish churches... . . This utterly incredible stone creation is the Babington Monument in St. Winifred's, Kingston on Soar. Installed around 1538 and featuring over a hundred peculiar carvings of children emerging from barrels - apparently a pun on the family name. Well I never...x . . #churchinterior #englishchurch #monument #capturingbritain_churches #genuinebritain #architecture #babington #historicbuilding #oldbuilding #oldarchitecture #historybuff #historylover #bellringing #historical #churchhunting #churchcrawling #total_churches #tudor #britains_talent
We seem to be spending a lot of time walking in the woods at the moment. Which suits me just fine... . . #woodlandwalk #summerwalks #summerinthecountry #magicalwoods #myeverydaymagic #sunshineandshadows #aquietplace #meditativewalk #britains_talent #englishwoodland #forest #forestlovers #forgeyourownpath #thewildernesstonic #thewayahead #capturingbritain_nature #outwalking #forestbathing
Off to a good start this morning, but I think I peaked early, now teetering on the edge of 'done-in'. Anyone any secret pick-me-up you rely on?

A path through the woods...does anything evoke the spirit of fairy tales more than that? . . Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood...Titania, Oberon and Puck... . .

I've a special fondness for the paper-thin bramble petals...beautiful, delicate, understated...and come autumn...blackberries! . . #brambles #wildflowers #flora #instaflower #cornersofmyworld #spreadnaturelove #daysofsmallthings #hedgerow #capturingbritain_nature #tostandandstare #ig_flowers #moodforfloral #realflowersoftheseason #simplenaturefinds #ruralgallery #englishcountryside #wildnesstonic #nature_magic
Oh what a glorious summer's day! I have to admit all the grim weather during the long winter has definitely made me fully appreciate this wonderful sunshine and even the warm muggy days. It feels like a proper summer this year. . . This was the view across into Buckinghamshire from the top of the field this morning. The grasses are turning, I imagine it won't be long before it's being cut and bailed. . . #countrysidewalks #outwalking #fieldscape #englishcountryside #capturingbritain_nature #tostandandstare #seeing_the_ordinary #myseasonalstory #ruralgallery #britains_talent #aslowmoment #britishcountryside #beautifulbritain #englandsbigpicture #thewildnesstonic #thenatureletters #mymagicalmorning
