From my Sunday morning walk.

Gate left open with sign reading 'Please close the gate'.

Pretty flowers in bloom.

From my Friday bike ride. #Redhill #Croydon #Velobarn #Surrey #Kent #UK

Café front, plants, part-hidden bicycle. Great little café in Croydon.

View from North Downs towards south. Track, field gate, distant view towards Gatwick.

Track leading to Titsey Brewery building. Gateway, trees, hedge and modern brewery building in middle distance.

Cortada coffee on table at Velobarn, near Westerham, Kent.

From today's lovely bike ride on my Cube touring bike, with a great range of gears. Thank you #Cube #Woldingham #Caterham #Surrey #UK #caffenero

View over countryside towards the South Downs, from the North Downs.

Lovely country cottage at the end of a virtual cul-de-sac by the bike entry to Woldingham School. Flower baskets and decorative mini Montgolfier balloons.

'Our Lady' at Woldingham School. Grass, trees.

Cortado coffee, glass of tap water at ride's end.

I try to minimise my visits to #Wetherspoons pubs, but after a cycle ride, you can buy this 'Freedom Breakfast' for only £3.40 - less than a cup of coffee in most coffee shops. Ridiculously good value. #UK

Two fried eggs, two hash browns, two pieces of bacon, two half tomatoes and two ounces of beans. On a recognisable Wetherspoons plate.

I'm not seriously interested in cars but saw this Daimler from 1960's when having stroll by the cricket pitch today. See alt text. #oxted #Daimler #policecar #UK

Daimler sports car, ex London Met Police, bought as part of a set to chase 'ton-up boys' - motorcycle racers in 60's and 70's. The police radio is still on the dashboard.

Check out bell on grille - the car could reach 130mph - and was one of a batch bought specifically to discourage hi-speed bike races. The death toll reduced after the introduction of these cars.

The Rock of Dunamase, Ireland. Ireland has so much to offer on a sunny day. Loved it, and its people. #dunamaise #portlaoise #Ireland

Approaching the old castle.

Castle walls, grass, streaky cloudy sky.

A glimpse of fields through a window space.

One of the 360° stunning views from Dunamaise.

Garden bedrooms in #Lavenham #Suffolk #England

Metal shed in pretty garden - AirBnB room, I guess. Trees, lovely green field in background.

Shepherd's cottage-type trailer as summer bedroom. Manicured garden of rich folks' house in Lavenham.

Bike, rhododendron and church in #Westerham

Old oak (?) tree in #Brasted.

The house is level; the graveyard less so. #Westerham

Posh person's driveway, with the electric gates, unusually, open. Cut grass, trees, sunshine. What's not to like?

Couple of photos from my warm Friday bike ride. Was testing my touring bike which hasn't moved since last summer. #Westerham #Kent #uk

Cube touring bike on edge of Limpsfield Golf course.

E-type Jaguar. Mint condition. 50+ years old probably? The elderly owner wandered off leaving the keys in the ignition of the illegally-parked car. 🤔

Pub - see alt text.

Blind Beggar pub, east London, where one of the Kray twins shamelessly shot dead an innocent customer 'to show he could'. This shooting led to the downfall of the Krays' criminal empire.
