Archaeology Way to Langwith-Whaley Thorns – June 2024

A nice walk, if not exciting, starting just south of Crewell and four miles down the Archaeology Way to Langwith-Whaley Thorns railway station.

It’s (surprise!) a former colliery railway line made redundant by Margaret Thatcher. It’s one of those places with many paths leading to many different locations…

There were lots of sunshine and beautiful skies that day:

Lots of beautiful summer flowers:

And a spot for contemplation:

The most wonderful walk I’ve ever done? No.

Nice to be out walking in the sunshine and lots of wild flowers and blue skies? Yes!

Other Hats I Occasionally Wear…

I’m not just photography, as much as I enjoy that. I also write poetry and prose over at A Bloke Dyslexic. Some people like to combine their visual art with their written work but I prefer to keep them seperate, hence seperate websites.

I’m not quite sure why? I think it might be that I like the words to speak for themselves without any visual prompt and the photography and (dare I use the term?) art without any words. That way the viewer and reader can interpret it as they feel and respond as they like.

I don’t see why a reader or viewer should be led by the nose…

There’s also a few books:

Of the Sea by me, which you’ll find on Amazon wherever you may be. The link is for the UK but you’ll be able to get a paperback or ebook from your local Amazon:

My first novel, Life and Liberty which is also available on Amazon:

And I’m merely an editor on Life, Nature and the Spirit, which is a collection of my late mother’s poetry which I found scattered around the house when she went into care:

I sometimes have copies of the above at markets and events but space is tight and mostly I don’t…
