A gorgeous evening for a stroll. We need rain ☔️ but it’s on the way this weekend. Driest Spring and early Summer I have experienced. 📸 mine, Northumberland, before sunset.

#Geology #Gemstone and #Rock experts - please help me with identifying this black and cream/white veined stone, smooth and cold to touch. Found in Northumberland near Gunnerton village where the Whin Sill breaks through the surface. Just curious about what sort of rock it is.

Who's joining me tonight? Bring on those questions. 💜

Lungwort, birdsong, and some very busy bees 🐝 - it’s worth having some ‘weeds’ in the garden.

A few favourite Roman pics for #RomanSiteSaturday. 1. Milecastle 37 on Hadrian’s Wall - where the plan trumps practicality. 2. The Roman Wall blooming in Summer. 3. Strong room at Chesters where pay chests were stored. 4. By Birdoswald on Hadrian’s Wall is a lucky charm.
