It’s #NationalTreeWeek, couple of oaks just 50m from the sea, where Alresford Creek joins the Colne Estuary, #Essex. Exposed to the elements & salinity but robustly growing, & giving shelter to others. Tolerant trees!

Happy Saint Cecilia’s Day! Santa Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians. This is a beautiful depiction of her, done in 1620-25, by Italian painter Bernardo Strozzi which I recently saw in the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City.

Britain is rotting. Blocked road drains. Potholes. Rubbish strewn streets. Dirty buildings. Road signs covered in muck. We are paying increased council tax, yet local authorities aren’t doing the basics. So let’s take the matter into our own hands. #GreatBritishCleanUp
