An ‘anonymous’ pillar box in Cheltenham for #postboxsaturday

A #Lanzarote double for #PostboxSaturday. A metal pillar box in Arrecife, the capital, and a plastic one in Teguise, the former capital.

The Ermita de las Nieves #Lanzarote today. Surrounded by interesting botany and sweeping views.

Bright moonlit night on #Lanzarote

One of Cheltenham’s eight Penfold pillar boxes still in use. Missing its acanthus bud finial and aperture flap, but nicely placed next to a caryatid. #postboxsaturday @letterappsoc

One of Cheltenham’s eight Penfold pillar boxes. This one is actually a replica made from a mould cast from another in the town, the original having been broken off its plinth by a reversing lorry #PostboxSaturday

Biblical amounts of rain (and hail) this afternoon. Not a time to be a pedestrian 🌊☔️ #Cheltenham #Gloucestershire

Great day out at @StFagans_Museum today, so much to see I’ll have to go back! Interesting chatting to the miller and managed to get the last bag of flour for some home baking

Great turnout for the South Cheltenham History Festival last weekend, and lots of interest in #Leckhampton Local History Society’s railway display. Great to hear people’s memories of the line 🚂 llhs.org.uk #HODs @heritageopenday

I’m excited to be part of the South Cheltenham History Festival, 5-7th Sept. FREE event! Come and find out about the history of Leckhampton’s railway, Bath Road traders, the streets, churches & schools of the area. Pg 10 in this brochure: cheltcivicsoc.org/wp-content…

My kind of seaside: Sea Holly, Viper’s Bugloss and a blue sky followed by an ice cream back at the visitors centre. @neild1962 @KenfigWarden @duncan_dine

Great day out at Kenfig NR today with @neild1962 as top guide. Round-leaved Wintergreen was just one of the special things seen @KenfigWarden @duncan_dine

Botanising and butterflying on High Down above Alum Bay Isle of Wight. @duncan_dine with friends

Stunning. Field Cow-wheat on Isle of Wight. @duncan_dine botanising in the background

Two Waxwings present at junction of Bradley Rd and Cirencester Rd at 2.15pm #GlosBirds @duncan_dine

Ophrys mammosa in front of a carpet of Anacamptis syriaca in front of @duncan_dine A mind-boggling range of orchids seen on #Cyprus today

The coast from ancient Kourion #Cyprus 🇬🇷

The orchid quest of @duncan_dine is such that not even roadworks, a contra flow nor concrete central barrier can keep him from his quarry. Had to wait for the workmen to go though 🫣 #Cyprus

For 2024, I’ll look forward to adding Leopard Lacewing and Black Swallowtail to my British butterfly list 😆
