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

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

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

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 😆
