A display of wild swimming books. At the bottom of the display, under all the other books is a copy of JAWS by Peter Benchley.

It’s beginning look a lot like…

…autumn. 🍂

You thought we were going to say Christmas? No it’s too early for that. 🎅🏻 🎁

We are looking at a timber framed Hall on a sunny morning. The lawn is covered in leaves of all colours whilst the brickwork of the ground floor of the building is orange and brown matching the tone of the season.

Some of those toys are still popular. My kiddo and nephew both want a rubik's cube for Xmas and, rather randomly, my kid's asked for binoculars.

Autumn called. It brought scones.

Carrot cake scones.

Try them in our cafés where every bake directly supports our work looking after the places you love.

A green plate stacked with scones. One is cut in half and served with cream cheese frosting, and scrumptious blood orange marmalade. A pot is in view with the cream cheese frosting and a jar of marmalade with a spoon.

So long as you have treats, he'll let you have your own way completely.

Popped up in my memories, when Seymour was promoted to head of customer service back in 2018. #btposse

It’s interesting how little they know about the 50 year old man. That his son was with him and he was known in Glasgow. I got some info about the company that T R worked for but not much else. I’ve got a card to go into local archives but it’s where to start.
