Parterre gardens & turbulent social history at the time of Sutherland's tragic clearances

Have stood in the #MayMorning crowd
to hear choristers atop Magdalen tower sing in the first light of the merry month of May
The traditional festival
known also as #Beltane
is a time of much frolicking
- of all kinds!
Oxford's May Morning is back! 🎉 If you can't be there - @fleurostojak has everything from the Magdalen Tower choir to the street party atmosphere - all from 5.45am on Sunday!

I love this little perched bird
Quietly gracing a gorgeous window of #Pluscarden benedictine abbey
a fabulously peaceful place in a serene glen south west of #Elgin
And the only medieval British monastery still being used for its original purpose.
Born on April 25 1917

My mum saw her perform
& was in awe of her magic
As a child, the soundtrack of Saturday mornings was Ella & my mum singing along to the
Cole Porter Song Book
Right through, over & over!
Know every line still! 🥰

Funny how things come into our lives
In a junk shop years ago
Came across this old book
Opened it
Saw this illustration & caption
& decided I had to have it!
Paid a couple of pounds
& it has proved fascinating
#Paris
