Went looking for Cecilia today and she took a bit of finding! Rather hidden up some stone steps here she is with Miriam from the Book of Exodus. Well worth the effort! #StEdmundsBury Cathedral #BuryStEdmunds #Suffolk

At the foot of a shabby wall on an unprepossessing verge
I think these are leaves of Canadian Goldenrod, Solidago canadensis, so guess the #mildew on them must be Aster Powdery Mildew, Golovinomyces asterum. 🤔

This roundabout is on my route from the railway station to town centre in Bury. Ragwort grows between the tracks at the station. Not easy to get close but think this may be the reservoir of the plant in the town! Narrow-leaved Ragwort, Senecio inaequidens, #WildflowerHour at #BuryStEdmunds station.

Difficult to believe that this art deco lino cut print “Tillers of the Soil" is by the same artist Sybil Andrews as the #BuryStEdmunds banner! 😲

Today is St Edmund's day! Sybil Andrews may be famous for her #linocuts and #printmaking but she also created this silk on handwoven linen banner of St Edmund in St Edmundsbury Cathedral depicting his martyrdom. #StEdmundsBury #BuryStEdmund #Suffolk

The sad sight of furniture retailer JH Cooper and Son, of Newmarket Road #Cambridge 1911-2021. I'm old enough to remember when a mosaic frieze like that was the latest fashion.

Frost last night and it looks as though Green #Nightshade (L) has come out worse than Black Nightshade (R) despite its hairy coat ( #Solanum nitidibaccatum & nigrum ). 🥶😎
