A fascinating account depicting the spooky side of Wiltshire UK. As 2025 nears an end, Emma puts aside the ghosts and goblins for a moment and leaves us with this wonderful photograph.

Just (belatedly) discovered a wonderful artist, simply by wandering onto this beautiful account curated by his daughter.
Belated seasons greetings and an early New Years wishes. This year the #brianhagger adventures were paused due to many factors. Onwards to 2026 !
