Introvert Problems @introvertproblems.bsky.social · 2d

Being introverted isn’t something to fix, it’s something to value. They can live alone, eat alone, travel alone, and still feel whole. It’s not loneliness, it’s peace. Most people wouldn’t get it

🌿 We're thrilled that The Garden of Cosmic Speculation in Dumfries has become a designated landscape, following assessment by Historic Environment Scotland and support from C20. Developed gradually between 1988-2012 by Charles & Maggie Jencks, the garden is a work of outstanding artistic importance.

The intriguing village of Temple, the main base of the Knights Templar in Scotland until the order was dissolved following the arrest of many of its members by King Philip IV of France on Friday 13 October 1307, 718 years ago today. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Temple. The image shows a view down a shadowed hillside covered in gravestones to a ruined church seen end on in the middle left of the frame. To its right is a collection of stone houses in the bottom of a valley and there are trees on the far side of the valley. Except for the foreground, the scene is in sunlight.

I visited Drummond Castle Gardens for the first time this week and was really impressed with the range of Autumn 🍂 🍁 colours. As you might expect I took lots of photos but this my favourite. If you want to visit you will need to hurry up as it closes at the end of this month.

The image is a teal square with the text: "I want people in my life that make me feel safe. Safe to talk. Safe to share things with. Safe to be myself." At the bottom of the square is the text: "@whatwomenwant".

Yesterday I finished the final segment of walking the entire 182 miles of the Thames Path, by walking 15 miles from Abingdon to Wallingford. So excited to complete this epic experience.

On this day in 1940 John Lennon was born.

In 1946, following his parents' separation, he came to live with his aunt at Mendips in the Woolton area of Liverpool. We're incredibly proud to look after this house as a place for people to visit and experience where it all began.

John Lennon's childhood bedroom. We see the bed, posters on the wall and a view from the window onto a street.

Historic Southampton @historicalsoton.bsky.social · 6d

The building we know as Tudor House was originally built between 1491 and 1518, incorporating an older banqueting hall from around a century earlier. Pictured here before its restoration when it was occupied by George Cawte, a bookbinder, and George Pope, a dyer.
