Sunset at Mullion Cove last night. Wishing you peace on your journey 🙏🏼🩵⛵️ For more about our adventures on the Albin Ballad, Gancia Girl, check out our YouTube Channel, ‘Start Sailing at Sixty’ #sunset #Cornwall #sailing #theEnglishChannel #Startsailingat60

The Scilly Isles. Wishing you and all beings peace and freedom from suffering. 🙏🏼

‘A beachful of M and Ms’, said Sean. These coloured shells, ranging from lime green via sunflower yellow all the way through to sienna orange and various browns, are typical of the Scilly Isles. We’re camping here right now, on Bryher Island. I’m in heaven. And very aware of my privilege 🙏🏼🩵🐬🐚⛵️

The spectacular #JubileePool at Penzance makes use of a classic 1930’s lido and employs modern technology to heat water geothermally, so that you can float around in a continuously refreshed and warmed salt water bath at 32C at any time of the year. I love it here #swimming #pool #outdoorswimming

Managed to get the #EngMex game up on #BBCIPlayer on the boat for catch up this morning. What a game! #WorldCup2026 #EnglandMen #Wonderwall

We are sailing in our small boat from Plymouth to the Isles of Scilly, off the tip of Cornwall. This was our first stop and our first night, the Helford River. I feel blessed. May your day be peaceful, friends 🙏🏼 #sailing #coastalcruising #startsailingat60

Avebury. Happy #StandingStoneSunday

‘I know what you’re up to when you fill the back of the car with all that stuff and I don’t like it one little bit so I’m just going to wander round the car area with my ears back until you get the message’. Milo, earlier today #Milothecat #catwisdom #Catsky

How cool is the new V and A East in Stratford, E. London? Everything is displayed on shelves uncurated. You can wander round the museum’s stores, finding gems like this child’s West Ham T-shirt from the 60’s. West Ham was my grandad’s team and it’s where my mum was born. #VandA #Museums #ELondon

"The fairy poet takes a sheet of moonbeam, silver white; His ink is dew from daisies sweet, His pen a point of light." ~ Joyce Kilmer Good afternoon my friends! I hope that your day is sweet. Have a lovely evening. Be the light. Be the love. ❤️

At the incomparable #Carnac, 2024. Along with the Nazca Lines and the Great Wall of China, the parallel lines of the over 3000 stones form one of only a few man-made sites that can be seen from space. I found it very moving to be here Happy #StandingStoneSunday

Happy Caturday everyone! Milo knows he’s not really allowed on the table but he also knows it will get my attention and perhaps even make me give him a treat. #caturday #catsofbluesky #catsky #catsky #Milothecat 🐾🙏🏼🧡

My mum took this amazing photo on Northumberland coast a couple of days ago. Colours amazing..

Bist du am Donnerstag für Deutschland oder für Ecuador? Ich bin für ✨SIE✨

Golden and glorious, and fabulously fashioned! The Borrisnoe gold collar (ca 800 - 700 BC) is one of several of these magnificent items on display at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. You get an incredible feeling of intimacy when standing so close to such items, wondering who once wore them.

Night night, sleep tight. Here in the southern part of the UK, we’re experiencing abnormal heat. I’m thinking especially of those who are frail, elderly or have physically active jobs. Stay cool, if you can. Here’s a soothing picture of the beach. Much love 🙏🏼🧡😎 #WestBay #nature #thesea

"The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy." ~ Charles Dickens Have a wonderful evening my friends! Be the light. Be the love. ❤️

These 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian ‘flip-flops’ still look remarkably wearable! Perfect for a hot day! 🩴🩴 😎 From the tomb of Yuya and Thuya, Valley of the Kings. Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #Archaeology

You know when you’re cycling along on a hot day and you decide to wear your cap under your helmet to keep the sun off your face? And then the whole thing slides backwards and you end up feeling strangled with a sunburnt forehead? Me. Today #cycling#greenpath#formerrailwayline#lifesupsanddowns

How lucky am I?

‘It’s morning. And again I am that lucky person to be in it’. The Hummingbird, Mary Oliver ‘If you’re able to cycle to the beach, you’ve won at life’s lottery.’ Danielle the acupuncturist #thebeachdowntheroad #gratitude #peace #poetry #nature #nofilter #lifeslottery #luck

Happy #StandingStoneSunday and #solstice! Another view of Merrivale’s beautiful stone rows, aligned to the setting sun on winter and summer solstices. They are thought to have provided a way for Bronze Age farmers to track the seasons (source: Dartmoor National Park website). Photo mine, May 2026

Happy #Caturday. The questions on Milo’s face could be: Why did you go away for two whole nights letting me think you had left for good? And don’t you think that my needy purring and head butting when you came back followed by bout of scratching your arm up are appropriate responses? #catwisdom

A sad fact, and one I know first hand

I love Dartmoor’s ponies theconversation.com/claims-of-da...

Ladies & Gentlemen, we present to you the largest single trunk live oak in the whole universe 😮🌳 The tree lives in Iron City Georgia, which didn’t exist when the tree germinated, & nor did the US

A bee on a rose for your evening

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article.... The newly discovered ‘wood henge’ site shows our ancestors were celebrating the winter and summer solstices 500 years earlier than their counterparts at Stone Henge. Happy #StandingStoneSunday on Friday

At almost 2,000 years old, this wooden toy sword is a remarkable survival from Roman times! From Vindolanda frontier fort, it gives a rare glimpse into childhood at the edge of an empire. It also shows playing with toy swords has been popular for millennia! 📷 me #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

I will pose anywhere Milo, today #catsky #catwisdom #poseur #catsofbluesky

Milo. Now. In his favourite spot. The basket is way too small for him but I think he loves the vantage point over the garden. When he’s not sleeping, he’s guarding from here. #catsky #catsofbluesky #everydayiscaturday

There’s an adorable stone circle in the beautiful ancient settlement of #Merrivale on Dartmoor. Picture take from afar for effect of setting. The whole area also includes menhirs and a double stone row. More last week and next. Happy #StandingStoneSunday! #neolithic#BronzeAge#stonecircle#peace

Milo settles down for a game of Scrabble on the sofa between us. His presence always feels like a great privilege. Yes, even when he walks straight across the board, ending the game Happy #Caturday, everyone. Much love. 🙏🏼🐾☀️ #catsky #catsofbluesky #catwisdom #Milothecat #Scrabble

The sun’s out again in southern England and Milo’s on high alert in the garden. So many sounds and smells! A rush for the senses. Am I guarding him or is he guarding me… Or neither? Whats going on in that cat brain? #Catsky #catsofbluesky #summer

Hello from Milo from his sofa-in-the-conservatory station. It’s beyond me how he can sleep peacefully all day long, oblivious to the world and seemingly completely at ease. What does he do the other 8 hours to make him so knackered? Have a snoozy day, folks 🙏🏼🐾💤 #cathacks#catslife#catwisdom#catsky

Basking in the evening sun. ‘Do my paws look big in this?’ Lots of love for today, friends. May your day be one of peace 🙏🏼🐾🌳 From Milo the Cat #Cats #catsky #catsofbluesky #Milothecat #catwisdom

Commanding impressive views on all sides, the Merrivale menhir stands at 3.1 metres. It’s part of a 4000 year old settlement which includes the wonderful double stone row (see last week’s post), a stone circle and a burial chamber. Happy #StandingStoneSunday. Photo Sean Smith, 27/5/26 #neolithic

Good morning and good evening and happy Caturday, everyone. ‘Excuse me if I don’t get up. I’m much too comfortable.’ Milo from under his stool. Is it cooler under there? Or safer? 🤔 #inscrutable #mysterious #individual #catmind #catwisdom #caturday #catsofbluesky #catsky

This silver coin is from Knossos and depicts the labyrinth of Greek myth. If you trace your finger from the entrance, like the puzzle books you used to do as a kid, you’ll find a path to the centre where you’ll meet…..a mini-Minotaur! 🕰️c270BC 🏛️📷 Ashmolean Museum

Our garden Wren babies have fledged, two from the first brood! 🥰 Here's one having a little snooze on our rather worn-out fence yesterday! A nervous time for me and its mum! 🪶 📷 🌿 Happy Saturday to all 🕊 #BirdOfTheDay #BorrowedPlaces #SmallBirdSaturday #photography #birds #UKWildlife #nature #ECK

Dharmachakra, ‘The Wheel of the Law’- a symbolic representation of the Buddha’s teachings. This one dates 600-800 and is from the Kingdom of Dvaravati, Thailand. Photo taken yesterday, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, by me. #Buddhism #dharma #Buddha #peace

Thank Goddess for science

Sound logic, Jinx. Also, Milo would like to remind readers of our outstanding laundry guarding skills 🧺🐾🙏🏼. Much love today xxx
