So yesterday I was watching a Jackdaw perched on top of a chimney. Spotting a perfect photo opportunity, I grabbed my phone, only for it to fly away, and I thought I’d missed it. Then today, while looking through yesterday’s photos, I realized I’d actually captured it in flight! So happy!☺️

While on a ramble, I stumbled upon a grave that has stayed with me ever since. Sambo’s Grave at Sunderland Point is a poignant reminder of a forgotten past. I returned to pay my respects and share his story. Read the full piece on my Substack:

See a ruin? I see Easby Abbey’s refectory alive canons sneaking rolls, stained glass glowing. A 12th-century gem dissolved in 1536, now whispering history. Full story on Substack:

So happy! I spotted this Roe Deer on my ramble up Arnside Knott today. Although very common in the UK, they never fail to put a smile on my face.

Echoes From The Mineshaft Finding light in the depths of struggle

I've never tried poetry before, but I wrote this sitting in a mine shaft of all places, reflecting on life. Stay strong, everyone. Bad times and feelings don’t last forever.

Sunday's short ramble from Brougham Castle to Brougham Hall, near Penrith, England, led me to the charming St. Wilfred’s Chapel. Built in 1658 by Lady Anne Clifford on a site used for worship since the 1300s, this red sandstone gem is just one of the reasons I love UK rambles.

I'm quite impressed with the zoom on my phone. Managed to snap this pic of an Oyster Catcher while out on the canal.

Can you spot the face?

I spotted this today while out on the Lancaster Canal, believed by local heritage to be a masons mark, a symbol left by stone masons to identify their work, although there’s no official records.
