Anziano signore calmo e assorto nella lettura seduto su una seggiola di cortesia fuori dal supermercato. Elderly gentleman calm, collected and absorbed in reading sitting on a courtesy chair outside the supermarket. Candid. Street shot. Cameraphone. Bologna 2021
In the late 1800s London was served by up to 300 000 horses, producing an average of 2 000 000 kg of manure each day. This was referred to as the horse manure crisis. Consequently many houses had boot scrapers outside the front door. This one is a fine, elegant example.

Unintended consequences when an alien species is introduced into the local ecology:
"The Harlequin Ladybird has been described as the fastest spreading invasive insect in Europe. It is a relatively recent addition to the United Kingdom’s fauna, first reported in 2003 from the south coast. This species originates from eastern Asia, but its route into the UK actually came from eastern North America, where it is equally invasive and is now recognised as the most abundant species of ladybird on that continent. Originally introduced into the states as early as 1916 as a means of biological control, specifically on soybean aphids, the species spread rapidly across the continent and indeed across much of the world wherever suitable climate and conditions occur."

This, and one other, as far as I can see, has moved in to my apartment for the winter. At least there won't be any aphids on my plants in the spring!
Formerly known as the trawler men's site, where nets were laid out, it became decrepit by the 1990s and abandoned. It was remodeled into this little park, laid out in the form of Morecambe Bay.
Imagine my surprise at seeing this. Has the business model at the castle changed?!
I have just changed my phone and it will take me a while to work out how the camera works. After years with the old Motorola, all the changes to Android are taking a while to get the hang of.
No filters have been applied here - pretty sky, eh?
The post box appears to have been repainted. Again.
Meanwhile I should write to my MP about the state of the pavement. Health and safety law prevents me from putting myself at unnecessary risk and the pavement is clearly hazardous. So I shall write an email instead.
Way too good looking to be called a potato peeler!
Made by Sabatier. It has a good weight and is razor sharp. So far I've used it to produce cheese shavings. Very effective.
When carry out inspections it's important to be methodical. I started with headdress and finished with boots.
A western honey bee, apis mellifera, browses a lupine.
No chemical sprays are used in this area thanks to the Duchy's environmental policy.
The finished product, served with some lettuce, capsicum and preserved tomato.
My mother always insisted on some kind of vegetables with everything, and it's become a habit. Looks pretty, too, I think =]
I wonder if anyone still looks forward to the rattle of the letterbox cover as the postman brings a letter from a distant loved-one.
I still write letters by hand and I love it when a letter is waiting for me on my return home.
This is a brass Victorian letter plate made by Archibald Kenrick & Sons at West Bromwich. They have been in business since 1791, and are still making fine door furniture today.
I have an irrational fascination - benchmarks!
Here is some general info:

if you are in UK, you might have some near you. You can search for them, here:

This one is on the wall at Moor Gate. I hadn't noticed it before today. Good thing it wasn't a snake instead!
Having explained why a 'flattie' is meant to be served in a tulip cup, I was presented with this. It's a bit 'short' because the tulip cups in this establishment are bigger than I think they need to be. The latte art is not the company standard, by the way. The drink itself was delicious. I shall go there again.
