An abandoned rectory in Henbury has been the target for frequent arson in the last few years. Why has this old building has been left to decay by the church ?
The Hairless Northern Wombat once roamed the United States in great herds but few remain today, thanks to (wait for it) global climate change.
This shy specimen seemed fascinated with a reflection of himself reflected in another mirror in a shabby little bathroom in the rectory of an old church — so much so that he didn’t notice me setting up to take his picture.
But the sound of my shutter clicking shook him out of his reverie and he scampered away, losing his little ball cap in the process. I remember the soft autumn light imparted a glow to the bare scalp that distinguishes his kind from the Hairy Southern Wombat.

Sozòpol (Bulgarian: Созопол, Greek: Sozopolis / Σωζόπολις) is an ancient seaside town located 35 km south of Burgas on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Today it is one of the major seaside resorts in the country, known for the Apollonia art and film festival (which takes place in early September) that is named after one of the town's ancient names.
Sozopol is one of the oldest towns on Bulgarian Thrace's Black Sea coast. The first settlement on the site dates back to the Bronze Age. Undersea explorations in the region of the port reveal relics of dwellings, ceramic pottery, stone and bone tools from that era. Many anchors from the second and first millennium BC have been discovered in the town's bay, a proof of active shipping since ancient times.
The current town was founded in the 7th century BC by Greek colonists from Miletus as Antheia. The name was soon changed to Apollonia, on account of a temple dedicated to Apollo in the town, containing a famous colossal statue of the god Apollo by Calamis, 30 cubits high, transported later to Rome by Lucullus and placed in the Capitol.

This is an old brush I found at a fab antique shop in Canada, bought for my mum's ever increasing collection of old kitchen wares
At the start of the Lancaster Canal in Preston are these old bench seats which had some lovely dappled light coming through the trees onto them
What do Winston Churchill, Lord Byron, and Benedict Cumberbatch have in common? They’re all Old Harrovians, alumni of Harrow School in Harrow-on-the-Hill, north-west London. Between inventing sports, using funny words and churning out prime ministers, this prestigious private boarding school, founded in 1572, also has some rather bizarre traditions.
As she carefully chipped away the old rock to expose the fossil, the paleontologist imagined what this area must have looked like millions of years ago when it was teeming with dinosaurs.
This Blythe doll is Blue Rabbit, posing for “Old Rock” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I bought the fabulous background/wall hanging, and the toy dinosaurs a few years ago when there was a full month of dinosaur themes. I’m happy to have a reason to use them again!
Old books, yes! They are the true comforters; and principally because they are old and familiar. Many excellent new tales and poems and dramas are added yearly to the catalogues, and some of these in time will stand beside the great companions under discussion; but only Time (and you and I and all other lovers of good books) will bring about their survival.

An old stone well found during yesterday's exploring and camping with good friends. Lots of moonlight with a tiny bit of Milky Way sneaking it's way into the back.

A photograph of the obligatory Old Faithful. A must see attraction in Yellowstone. Even in mid winter, this location was attended by many tourists.
The Old Dixie Highway is an historic road but there's not many original sections left. This original brick section in Northeast Florida is a joy to check out.
