A different view today. I used to live in East Yorkshire, a county that’s mostly fairly flat and very arable. Wide skies and fertile fields are the most common features here. This was taken on one our favourite walks from our previous home, in early April. To me it’s an essentially English landscape. What do …

Just back from today’s walk, taking advantage of a brief spell of relative calm from the wind and rain coming in from the Atlantic. More on its way. But, undeterred, we trod the firm tracks and absorbed the spirit of the woods, made our daily connection with the trees. Wildlife mostly had the sense to …

The white cliffs of Dover are famous, of course. But there's another stretch of chalk cliffs in the UK, the only other one, at a place called Flamborough, East Yorkshire.
