The view from the top was great, although it was flying ant day so it was completely swarmed and I couldn’t stay up there long. I wonder if they had the same problem back in the 13th century.

Also unrelated but there was a steam railway there run by a super friendly retired mechanic.

Launceston is so cool. It stands on this really prominent lone hill.

I was visiting Launceston a few years ago without knowing there was a castle there and I remember getting so excited when we turned a corner and there was this surprise castle. Made for a great impromptu day out.

Bad mushrooms. Your immune system will not thank you.

Do not consume! I forbid it.

Breathed mould : (

No matter how tasty it looks do NOT consume it!

Well there’s plenty of old chalk figures around here, I pass by 3 just on my way home, so it certainly wasn’t unusual for locals to take care of them. But the fact that it is so old is impressive.
I wonder how many were not maintained and have since been lost to time.

I love how the horse needs to have chalk reapplied every year or it’ll start to disappear. It’s not like stonehenge or something that will last pretty much forever, the horse requires frequent maintenance.
I think it’s cool that for thousands of years people have continuously actively preserved it.

“Well… might as well continue eating anyway to enjoy them while I still can”

The people want to see your feathers!

I actually think I speak in a lower voice to small things.
Maybe because the tiny things I interact with are often electronics that I am cross with for not working correctly (don’t worry I love them really).

Actually thinking about it maybe I was just in a lot of dusty rooms…
