.@kebleoxford - couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Breakfast felt like Hogwarts's great hall (thankfully no howlers), it was next to a wonderful park, history waited around every corner (CS Lewis trained to be a WWI officer here), and it was just plain beautiful. . . . . . #oxford #oxforduniversity #oxfordshire #city #cityphotography #citylife #ivy #englishvillages #england #visitoxford #visitengland #cityvibes #architecture #cityscenes #photosofengland #travel #travelphotography #traveler #adventure #cslewis #cslewisinstitute #discoverunder2k (at Keble College, Oxford) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDCsa0jzVn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Pot Pourri of Nature News
Usually I’ll add odd photos to a draft on Tumblr and a theme for the week will develop and come the weekend I sit down to write already inspired. This week we’ve either been busy or it’s been too hot to muster any sensible thoughts and make the effort, so here I am musing over the photos I have and what will be interesting.
I found this Spanish hand painted tile sun dial in a cupboard. I had assumed it was Portuguese because of the cockerel, but it says Spain on the back, so there you go. We’ve never fixed it up, so am currently experimenting with it down by the pond. I had a quick look on You Tube but don’t think I have it calibrated correctly as yet. I put it down on top of the big log by the pond and immediately it had to be ‘inspected’
As I say, it’s been super hot here, but, of course heat and climate are all relative. My friend Elle sent me a photo of the thermometer recording 112F in Massachusetts! but in England, we’re just not used to excessive heat and fierce sunshine, so there were government warnings to people to take great care in the heatwave that’s swept most of Europe. It’s unbelievable how many reports I read about the police or fire brigade smashing car windows because people had left dogs in unbearable temperatures and the scenes of wild fires are absolutely horrifying.
To much more pleasant thoughts. Yesterday was my birthday and the girls organised a bit of a mystery meet up. We were told the assembly point and to be there in comfortable shoes at Noon. We went to the village of Chiddingstone (Kent) and walked around the castle-that’s-not-a-castle grounds (the house is closed on Saturdays) and had lunch in a very pleasant courtyard tea room in the village.
It was lovely to all be together, both girls and their partners, both dogs and a baby. I should reconfigure that somehow to read more like a film title, but <HOT>
The portions of homemade cake at the Tea Shop are gargantuan. Me and Crow stuck with orange flavours (orange and almond polenta cake and a slice of orange and courgette cake which was huge) Here’s an idea of portion size.
Iced coffee and coffee cake that has real roasted beans in it
Birthday flowers
The castle isn’t known for its garden really, but some flowers are holding up against the heat. Here’s a selection from a long flower bed.
The Acanthus Mollis below looked to be doing particularly well
Oh and I hope we weren’t caught on camera and pegged as vandals. There was a large marquee on the lawn, where there’d obviously been a function the night before. It was all fastened up, but we saw a bird trapped inside. It was very hot, obviously even hotter inside a closed marquee and there wouldn’t be any water, so we had to try mounting a rescue mission. Unfortunately, the bird, a Pied Wagtail, was scared and flew up over the ceiling fabric where we couldn’t get to it. We left a whole side of the marquee rolled up though, so it would’ve been able to find its own way out following the cooler air, when it was left alone. I hope some hapless student isn’t told off for not securing the tent, but we couldn’t just leave it.
People in the village obviously have a sense of humour. I’ll end today with a few quick snaps that I took.

A quite unusual blue tit nest
and
definitely not litter!
Happy Days.
