On a recent visit to France I saw this lectern and thought of you. Lovely thing - solid, presumably copper? In St Malo's cathedral, with heaps of other good stuff. (Twitter folk tell me you're here now.)

I'm back on BlueSky! So here's an odd thing on the left bank of the R. Seine in Rouen.
The pedestrian staircase up to the Pont Guillaume le Conquérant is adorned with a well executed graffiti showing Rowan Atkinson. Just... why?
Is it a subtle French joke? (We won, Blackadder!)

Hello, Ruth. I hope you can help ID a reddish stone font & pavement in Villefranche de Conflent, S. France. Tim Palmer said you'd moved to BlueSky and you're the best.
Tim thinks limestone, I guess red gneiss, my sister who posted the pic has NO idea. Lots of it in the hills, apparently.

Hello Moira! Is #WildflowerID more active on Bluesky these days?
If yes, any chance of an ID for a pesky furrin plant in S France, near Pyrenees? My sis wonders if it's a linaria/toadflax but the leaves seem wrong but there are over 200 varieties of the damn things. Any clues would be appreciated.

Yep. Plus an understanding of the proper use of reflexive pronouns. 😆
Meanwhile, here's a pic of my Gail's cinnamon bun for the apostrophe and bakery fans. Credit to Gail's for their commitment to old-school grammar.

Good luck, Canadian friends. 👍
There's always "Wolford Chapel in Devon, England... The building and land are publicly owned by the Canadian province of Ontario, and flies the Flag of Canada despite being in the English countryside." Wikipedia.
Wonderful place. Maybe a bit small for y'all...

Here's a photo from a trip to France. I've posted another, very different one just recently. I'm interested to see if they get different numbers of likes...

Enjoy your research. Here's a couple more pics from the late lamented Dingles museum in Devon.
Plus here's link to www.sheffield.ac.uk/library/spec... Apologies if you already know about it.

This is probably after the date of your show, but here's a fairground painting of a boxer in England that might interest you. Popular culture and all that: (Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Devon)

We need more parallel surtitles! Best libretto translation in the middle. Social context (then or now) optional on one side.) 😀
Plus I like this labelling of characters from the marvellous Valencia production... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebhr...

Apologies if this appears twice. Otherwise, here's another lovely sculpture in Hoorn, the Netherlands, that is immersed in water. Maybe @Joukesp can translate?

Thanks! The sea is pretty much always beautiful, IMO. Here's another shot from Ostend in early April. (We were lucky with the weather.) Did you go on the wonderful Kusttram? We loved it.

Absolument, ma chère. Bienvenue à BlueSky! Couldn't agree more with the sentiment. Here's a pretty Belgian manège for you.

I'm smug this year as I've just done my HMRC tax return AND paid. Good luck to all my fellow procrastinators - I've been there and feel your pain.

Oddly, I bought Dutch biscuits yesterday that are pretzel shaped but sweet, with cinnamon. Wonder why that shape reoccurs in some bits of N. Europe...
