Didn’t manage to get out over the bank holiday so figured sod it, even if it’s raining I’m going somewhere.

Forty-eight miles later I found myself in Brighton. Ditchling Beacon isn’t too bad.

Inside the 'Boston Stump'. A most spectacular church inside and out - well worth a visit. I had my 85-year old mother with me, so we didn't climb the (274ft) tower.

Back from the Fens holidays (sans vélo) now. Photo from last evening, taken from behind the cottage near Wisbech we rented. TBH, not an area which I'd choose per se (especially for cycling), but a good centre for exploring with a car. In particular, if you're interested in churches and history, or in the development of agricualture and drainage systems, it would be a splendid place.

Friday and a much welcome sunny break from the misty murk we've had here for the last week, thankfully we've been spared the worst of the storms (though I do enjoy a a good lightning show now and again). Out on the Fatty around the local trails including Pitsford Resv. surprisingly quiet considering it's half term.

We went to York today, with the primary intention of a visit to the National Railway Museum
I've been quite a few times, even taken daughter, but SWMBO hasn't
Neither had father-in-law, or daughters b/f

Pictures from that, are in the 'Rail Enthusiast' thread

As we left, a structure was spotted on the skyline
I knew it, but wasn't exactly sure where it lay, just the area

The Minster in the distance, my Octavia parked up, & a Citroen 'H' van on a drive opposite!

On a quick blast over Woodbury Common this afternoon, and I thought I saw a rabbit in the road... but it was an odd shape, and didn't move... on closer inspection...

I thought the middle of the road was not the most sensible place for a tawny owl chick, so, having stopped a car who was trundling along the road, we checked with this https://www.barnowltrust.org.uk/picking-up-a-live-owl/find-young-tawny-owl/, I used a cloth to gently pick up the chick and place it nearby, in a somewhat safer place...

Then I came home for a nice roast chicken :smile:
