OMG! An honour I'd always hoped to achieve one day. Thank you very much.

Sorry for the delay - I've been out today on a big ride. If only I'd looked at this thread before I went I could've been thinking about what to do next. I have a couple of ideas; I'll announce later on in this thread initially - I don't fully understand the process for getting the other thread updated but I'm sure someone will help me

A Mod updates t'other thread, so all you need to do is pick a topic and an end date

Don't worry about that bit, I'll do it if one of the other mods doesn't get there first.

I ran my two ideas past my wife, and she "expressed doubts" over the one I thought was the better. Such is life. I know the wisest course of action is to accept the advice.

The new subject is - Crossover.

As we're currently aligned with the calendar month, it seems sensible to stick with that and I'll make the closing date the last day of July.

My bike at a place where you can "crossover" the road safely

I'm hoping it creates a wide range of possibilities. The widest range of interpretation is welcome!

I was extremely tired last night - perhaps not best placed to make these major decisions.

If I were to change the subject to simply "Cross", then that would still cover everything I originally intended, and would have a more specific angle for anyone who'd rather go that way. Do I make sense?

Unless anyone objects, could one of the mods amend the other thread? (Suggest giving it a few hours).

No disquiet, apparentlyy. Officially, therefore, the subject for the month of July is Cross - in any sense you wish, literal or otherwise. Apologies for any confusion.

A few weeks ago I had to stop briefly while a flock of sheep was shepherded over the road. I took the opportunity for a bite to eat, but a photograph, with a backdrop of rural Herefordshire, might have worked well. That was my motivation - over to you.

Mods: please update the other thread - thanks.

Done.

The Village Cross at Charney Bassett, later converted to a War Memorial. Probably originally erected by Abingdon Monks.
