My picture of the day-Where's yours?

Ah... stunning views from there. Have you been up to the Tyndale Monument at North Nibley for a view southwards ?

In the dim, distant past, yes. Cycled there (but didn't go up the tower) for the first time in about 1978, I reckon, with a puncture repair kit and 2p in the pocket, in case we had a problem getting home again.

A rather lovely start to today's commute.

A couple I liked from today's ride up into the hills:

I've just crossed over the Stiperstones and looking in the direction of the Long Mynd.

The view from Plush Hill near All Stretton.

Wakefield Museum
Yesterday
I'd been 'press-ganged' into a meeting with a few of the Consultants, a quartet of Sisters, a couple of General Managers & one of the Medical Directors (all of whom, I know, & can talk to easily, bar one of the GMs, who I'd not met before)

When it was dinner-break, I headed out of the building, as it was a in a Hotel/conference room, in the centre of Wakefield
I'd been to WestGate (railway station) for a sandwich from WH Smiths, & decided to have a browse in the new LibraryMuseum


It has the Charles Waterton collection too, including the Caiman, that he 'rode' to the bank of a river
(the creator of supposedly, the Worlds first Nature Reserve, at his home at Walton Hall

However, I wanted to have a look at the Anglo-Scandinavian canoe

The village this was found it is my 'home village', where I grew up
SWMBO, & I, lived in a house where we could see the Aquaduct from the front rooms
