Went for a run today and it felt like summer with temperatures easily rising above 20℃.
Interesting that (almost) #OTD in 2008 we had heavy snow in Portsmouth!

We left that Mudeford and bimbled down to that Hurst Spit what pokes out into the Solent and is a bloomin' long ride on a gravel bike if you've only taken 35mm tyres. 44mm is good though, but the Tudors what built the castle didn't have gravel bikes so Lord knows how they got there. #HurstSpit #HurstCastle #Hampshire #Solent #AerialPhotography #Photography
A 6 year old boy in #Hampshire SE #England, saved thousands of sweet tubs from landfill for #recycling - they were taken to #Exeter (*not* that far away!) and recycled into #furniture, including a #bench that was donated to his primary #school
Wow, Australian GM Bobby Cheng is top seed at the Isle of Wight chess tournament in the south of England. The Isle of Wight is just off the Hampshire coast, the county where I was born. And I have played Bobby a few times here in Australia.
Small world!

There are seven black Tornai fonts in England dating from C12 and early C13th, made in and around the Belgian town of Tournai.
Each font was probably carved by local masons before transport, based on similarities in style and shape, and the difficulties and expense of transporting a complete block, much of which would be wasted.
Many more of these fonts are found in Belgium and France, and a few in Germany.

What a hero!
High time such plastic packaging reverted to that seen back in the 1970s and 1980s.
Metal tins were so much nicer and could easily be recycled from home without the need for a specialist processing centre.
It would be wonderful to see some of the old brands again too, rather than the 'Big 4' - Quality Street, Roses, Celebrations, & Heroes.
Protestors blockade Farnborough airport over private jet expansion plans
Local residents and climate activists have blocked access to Farnborough Airport to protest against the proposed expansion of the airport which they say will almost double the number of private jet flights to 70,000 a year

Day 19 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Small Red Damselfly is tiny and lives in wild, boggy heath areas. Since I love exploring such habitats, I am naturally very fond of this #damselfly. The closely-related Large Red is a common species in gardens - it is larger and its legs are black not pink. This one in the #NewForest in early July. #Hampshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #photography
