My afternoon walk took me past this lovely Saint John's Wort, aka Hypericum.
Apparently it's largely toxic, and deer resistant. A useful feature if you're protecting your stately home from marauding sika deer!
Saint John's Wort has historically been used to treat bruises and even depression, though it interacts badly with pharmaceutical medicines. I'll stick with tincture of arnica and a nice bottle of Beaujolais.
As the petals fall away the seeds develop in the capsule. Eventually ready for harvesting the seeds for baking.
Saint Paul's, Scotforth. Designed by Paley and Austin, incorporating grit stone and terracotta tiles, hence its nickname.
These little flowers are lovely to look at but so hard to photograph, I think. The color rarely comes out correctly for me.
These were taken in the late afternoon shade.
After several months of disuse this shop window looks distinctly unloved.
The origin of this Banksy copy (?) is unknown but it remains in place.
The English call them bangers. They only 'bang' if you don't pierce the skins before cooking. Some people call them snorkers which is possibly an example of Jack Speak. In Australia and the most beloved New Zealand these are called snags.
Three might seem excessive but, after several miles of walking in the rain and a technically-challenging rehearsal, I felt this to be the requisite amount.
Striped beach hut at a jaunty angle.

The light has changed while I was out. I sent this to my friend who is in hospital. I hope it makes him smile.
Eton Mess came about after someone at Eton College dropped a pavlova and gathered it all up again. Allegedly.
I didn't drop this (honestly) but my scrambled egg was a disaster.
I didn't go to Eton, btw 😅
It's that time of year again when the bees are out, foraging and gorging. Here's one of several bees that were busy on this clump of mint.
If you look carefully, you can make out the bee's white tail.

With sea levels rising, climate changing, incompetent governments, and wars taking place on at least three continents, and a personal inability to fix any of it, I have decided to bury my head. I will not permit any of this to interrupt my celebration of World Happiness Day.
Correction: World Happiness Day is on 20 March. I'll just have a practice today!
Breakfast today consists of fresh bread and some sheep milk cheese (a very disappointingly dead cheese - I blame pasteurized milk and the bad rap that raw milk gets, and ludicrous interference by supermarket corporate buyers) with finely sliced, pickled garlic (from a previous batch that's nicely matured), and some pepper and salt. Suddenly, I can actually taste the cheese. The other half is butter and strawberry jam.
All this is making me happy. Back to angst and weltschmerz tomorrow.
Leratiomyces ceres, commonly known as the Redlead Roundhead or "chip cherries".
These pretty mushrooms grow readily in wood chip mulch. They are an introduced species to UK which most likely comes from Australia. Seems like a generous exchange for rabbits, foxes, pigs, to name just a few.
Flaking render will allow the ingress of water which will dissolve the original lime mortar. It might look charming in a shabby chic way, but it's irresponsible property management.
A bit of warmth and stronger light triggers another flower. It's another marker on the calendar of the year.
The joke used to be that the Lada Niva, or VAZ-2121 was invented to save the Soviet government money from upgrading the roads. Now, where did I leave my ushanka?!
My favorite meal of the day; breakfast. Saturday breakfast is usually a bit different from the rest of the week.
Avocado toast, tomato, juice, moka.
Yet another tulip picture. This one is mine. Our pictures unite us as people lucky enough to have time to look at things around us; different points of view also emerge. As a general once told us on parade, "You're unique, just like everybody else."
