The most beautiful English summer day I can remember

A month ago today, I reached my 70th birthday. To celebrate it, I went for a week-end in Wiltshire, but the weather was awful. Bands of heavy showers came, one after another, to kill any chance of a decent walk in my favourite countryside, the Marlborough Downs.

Yesterday, June 8th, 2023 – on the other hand – I enjoyed the most beautiful summer day I have experienced in my 70 years. Here are some of the photos I took within 3 miles of home.

An army marches on its stomach

They marched them up to the top of the hill, and they marched them down again

Compare this with 10 months ago:


The Wey goes ever on and on…

A bridge over untroubled waters

I worked in the building on the left more than 35 years ago

Civilization! The natural state of humanity

 If this is “global warming,” let’s have some more of it!
