A black framed pub sign against a clear blue sky. The pub is called the Vulcan Arms and features, clockwise from top right, the Roman god Vulcan, brandishing a hammer, a Vulcan bomber and Spock the Vulcan member of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek.

"It's a pub, Jim, but not as we know it.." Suffolk's most iconic pub sign, at Sizewell village.

Blue skies and sunshine down at Crosby beach today. Silvery sands sparkle in the light. A stiff breeze keeps temperatures down but is good kite flying weather. #IronMenCrosby

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN."

Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

A finger post sign pointing to the most southerly point and the lighthouse. The sign is painted white with black Cornwall lettering on the post. To the left, a man is texting on his phone, in front of a phone box.

Timeline cleanser needed? How about some views from Osea Island in Essex? It's connected to the mainland by a causeway that is only accessible at low tide. A rather special place. As featured in the film The Woman In Black.

The sun rises between the trees and above a band of mist above a frosty field, lighting up the blue sky.

After Storm Dave and a recent high tide, today the wet sands of Crosby beach were a mirror to the clouds racing across blue sky. The air filled with the roar of the white capped waves and the cry of gulls sweeping past. #IronMenCrosby

The test train approaches a bridge. You can see the track recording camera, on the gangway door, between the headlights.

The white tower of Fen Ditton's parish church matches the white gravel of the tow path along the river. The deep blue-grey sky reflects in the green, smooth watered river.
