rockershovel Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Just getting to the autumn after a full season in the UK for the first time in... oh, far too long. Geese starting to gather, harvest in, huge piles of bales in the fields. The cottage near Alderton has its thatch complete and windows fitted. Took Communion in the village church a couple of weeks ago, watched Last Night of the Proms. Hedges full of blackberries, freezer full of blackberry and apple crumble and pantry full of blackberry and raspberry jam. Thick low haze over the River Orwell, crossing the bridge was like flying above it. England's green and pleasant land.. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted September 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) One of those oddities and relics of a past age that exists around the British Isles - the village of Tyneham, nestled in the Purbeck Hills of Dorset, which was requisitioned by the War Office in December 1943 and despite promises made at the time, never returned to the former inhabitants after the end of hostilities. Tyneham village The restored St Mary's church in the village As the village and surrounding land is still owned by the Ministry of Defence and actively used by the military for training purposes, public access is restricted to certain times of the year. All these pictures were taken on 12th September 2021. Details about the village and public access dates for the remainder of 2021 are shown here for anyone who may be interested. And after wandering around the village, a short walk to the cliffs and sea at Warbarrow Bay.

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted September 25, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2021 A boat trip on the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation yesterday afternoon. This was simply glorious, I am still thinking about it now. The boat trips go from the landing stage at Heybridge Basin, beside the tea hut. - Richard. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Telford died in 1834. Photography was invented in 1834. He never saw a photograph of his bridge. What he would have given to see such a superb photo.

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted September 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2021 Ah - the world's first major suspension bridge, across the Menai Strait. Thomas Telford left us some fine things. - Richard. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Traxson Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) The two beaches in Criccieth, the castle in the first one is directly behind me in the second one. Both pictures face the same direction. Same viewpoint as picture 1 but looking across the bay to the castle at Harlech , top right white building on the end of the far (white) shoreline. Wonderful weather for October, the following day it was invisible due to the sort of rain that only North Wales can do! And one looking in the other direction towards Abersoch 20 miles away. And my transport on these trips Edited November 6, 2021 by Phil Traxson 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Traxson Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) A venture towards mid Wales, Lake Vyrnwy this time on the really narrow lanes machine! And it's dam, no featureless concrete wall here. Edited November 6, 2021 by Phil Traxson 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Traxson Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I travelled no distance at all for these, the ever changing (weather) view from my lounge window in Porthmadog. And occasionally it rains! Or, but not very often, it freezes. I can see the Pub from here! Edited November 23, 2021 by Phil Traxson 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam88 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I had a ticket for a trip on the Waverley from Brodick, around Ailsa Craig, and back in August. Alas, CalMac had a problem with one of their ferries that day and Waverley could not get in to the berth to pick up passengers. As a result I could only see her from afar; here is a last glimpse as she steamed home.

Phil Traxson Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Following on from my earlier pictures of Abersoch. It's now Autumn and all the tourists (and their boats) have left. The spring tides, as in tide cycle not season, means the greatest tide difference and so exposes vast beaches with just a couple of local boats left sitting on the sand. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
