Steam up day at Coldharbour Mill! Always a captivating experience! 😃 Coldharbour Mill, near the village of Uffculme in Devon, England, is one of the oldest woollen textile mills in the world, having been in continuous production since 1797.

Beautiful morning! Hot air balloon drifting over Uffculme, captured from Culmstock Beacon during this morning's early dog walk. #ShotOnIphone

Out at 5am to walk and exercise the dogs, perfect temperature given the current heatwave, but rapidly rising to ~33° 🥵. Pleasing to see an egret scouting for an early breakfast 🙂 #ShotOnIphone #Devon

Dunkeswell, Devon Abbey built in the early 13th century (colonised in 1201 by monks from Forde Abbey), it was dissolved and mostly dismantled in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Church built in 1842, on the site of the original abbey church. #ShotOnIphone

Out at 6am with the dogs to avoid the rising heat of today. Spotted a shy Kingfisher, and managed to catch a photo with my phone 🙂 #ShotOnIphone

Captured those fleeting seconds when the rising sun spectacularly underlit the altocumulus clouds during this mornings forest dog walk. #ShotOnIphone

Spotted in the forest this morning. "Chicken of the woods", I believe. Said to have a chicken like texture and taste, but some lookalikes can be harmful, so not being an expert, I won't be sautéing this 🙂. #dogwalk #ShotOnIphone

Our carefully cultivated English lavender plants are in full bloom. It's always a delight to see the enormous number of Bumble Bees flitting busily over the flowers. #ShotOnIphone

Timber harvesting underway in an area of our local forest. In addition to producing sustainable timber products, the aim is to also enhance and expand areas of important ecology within the forest. #ShotOnIphone

Threads & Instagram: deleted those accounts today. Ditched FB years ago. Have a number of contacts on WhatsApp, would be ideal to let that Meta product go too. How long before ads & unsolicited political messages are pushed on that platform too?

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/
