Thale Cress, Arabidopsis thaliana. Westmorland General Hospital car park

Thale Cress is a fascinating species. Much studied genetically due to the combination of a small genone and short lifecycle. It has certainly gone from seedling to fruit stage very quickly this year.

A black and white aerial photograph of a small village in an agricultural landscape. Unusual regular lines are visible in a field in the centre, next to the main road through the village: they show the regular outline of part of a Roman fort, including a clear gap in the middle of the nearside, flanked by hollow squares. Beyond the buildings, a meadow rolls down to a winding beck. The report from a 2013 geophysical survey by Wardell Armstrong Archaeology is available at: https://altogetherarchaeology.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/cp-10157-kirkby-thore-geophysical-survey-report.pdf

1959 aerial pic of Kirkby Thore fort (Bravoniacum), from the NW. Crop marks show the nearside wall & gate clearly, confirmed by geophysics in 2013 (see alt). The vicus extended into the field beyond the road - this was a substantial site. #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain #Westmorland

An cast iron plaque set on a stone wall. The plaque reads: VISITORS ARE FORBIDDEN TO CLIMB ON THE WALLS MINISTRY OF WORKS

No one forbids visitors to climb on the walls quite like the Ministry of Works.

This is the mince pie for the aficionado! A sweet mincemeat pie with lashings of lamb. Of all that I have tried, its my favourite mincemeat.

Don't knock it til you've tried it!

A classic example of the famous dry stone door, in Bowness-on-Windermere. Robust, stylish and easy to maintain - you just have to remember to build them from the outside. #AdoorableThursday #Westmorland #LakeDistrict

Celebrating Local and Place-Based History: Westmorland and the 250th VCH ‘Big Red Book’ People, Place and Community Seminar

#ICYMI - we are celebrating the publication of our 250th #BigRedBook, and our first publication for the historic county of #Westmorland.

In September we had an event to mark this and to place the volume in the context of the series and to showcase the extraordinary work behind it. #Skystorians

Looking out of the window, I see it's a beautiful autumn morning and much nicer than the numerous weather apps on my phone implied.
