The scenic summery English countryside – with a 17th century stone windmill overlooking it all…

…and a nice traditional English teacake…

…I forgot the exact type – and trying to find out taught me just how many there are (and that the good old hot cross bun can’t quite be categorised as one).

Some very vintage anatomy text spotted on top of a similarly aged grand piano (could probably be termed ‘a symphony of science and sound’)

A very green and mossy oasis for frogs (even the duck was staying quiet here)…

An excellent demonstration of pollinating teamwork on a wild sunflower

These candles had clearly been having total meltdowns for an extremely long time…

Slightly gorey options for dogs to pick from at the local pet shop (there’s a lot of choice there!)

This cat is keeping a close eye on the market stall stock – being particularly observant over the pineapples.

A chimpanzee skeleton from the 17th Century – noticed in the Natural History Museum…

…and a mesmerising crystal octopus (it taught me the scientific name for the creatures – cephalopods – and that they have 3 hearts!)
