Leicester Tower, where Red Leicester Cheese comes from. curdled milk entered the top of the tower. When the cheese was ready it would seep out of the holes in the side, taking on some of the red sandstone shade as it made its way through.

Lime stone pavement, a relic of the last ice age. Made as a result of retreating glaciers which if I was 17 again I would certainly rename my indie band. @yorkshiredalesnp.bsky.social #inglebrough #yorkshire #yorkshirewildlifetrust

Thanks Steve, it's somewhere which has escaped my attention. Looks fairly shut off now which is a shame!

The worlds first banked racetrack, built in 1907 at Brooklands in Surrey. There's a section (pictured) at Brooklands museum, another (still in use) at Mercedes World and a post apocalyptic wasteland section at the back of Tool Station. #wildandweird #urbex #abandoned #motorracing #uk #explore

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as
"Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator.
"The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."
