Withcall today - cattle feeding among the humps and outlines of the deserted medieval village, and a remembrance of the railway line, which passed through the hamlet between 1876 and 1956

Ragged Cardiganshire woods, on the last day of this year’s fishing season. Some sea-trout (& brown) in the river, but not as many as in years gone by. None caught, you’ll be pleased to know! @DerekTurner1964 @ItsYourWales @SavetheTeifi @EnvAgency @DwrCymru @TroutandSalmonJ

What a remarkable sight. Resembles a newly-revealed hill fort. The waters of the Straits of the White Horse have receded… (After Richard Jefferies.) @DerekTurner1964 @BetjemanSociety @CPREOxfordshire @CPREBerkshire

Meldon Reservoir has... gone! The island is now a hill and the Okement river just flows past it. If anyone finds the resevoir anywhere, do call.

R3 Unwind just gets better, with so many fine, unregarded composers, such as Norwegian, Edvard Fliflet Braein, his ‘Out Toward the Sea’. 🇳🇴 (Main R3 always seems to be playing ‘Espana’, or something instantly forgettable by Florence Price.) @BBCRadio3 #Radio3Unwind @classicjacko

Switching more & more to Radio 3 Unwind these days, softer narration, deeper music. This morning, Lars-Erik Larsson’s orchestral, A Winter’s Tale. 🇸🇪 Now Bax, Summer Music. Presentation style: no overblown chatter. And seems woke-free. @BBCRadio3 @BBCRadio3Unwind @classicjacko

Some of you may remember I happened a time-battered first edition of 'Leviathan' in a village in Lincolnshire. I have had it restored. Still battered, but at least alive

Might be an idea to reinforce the garrison down there. We owe it to the islanders — and to the memory of Col. ‘H’ Jones and his comrades. @DefenceHQ @BritishArmy @FalklandsGov @GarethBeerMS @andyburnham @GBNEWS @KemiBadenoch @RSStGeorge

1/ In 2013, Falkland Islanders exercised their right to self-determination and voted decisively to remain a UK Overseas Territory. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 While the right to self-determination is enshrined in the UN Charter, Falkland Islanders have often had to fight for this right. ✅
