For all the dismal news - where are all the butterflies, bees, wasps this year? - here’s a bit of good news: second brood of five swallow chicks in our porch. Brings the total to ten this year. And aren’t those little faces gorgeous?

Belle Tout Lighthouse, Eric Ravilious, 1939. The lighthouse is located overlooking Beachy Head in East #Sussex on the @SouthDownsWayNT. The original Ravilious artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2015 and I believe it is now in a private collection.

I was so entranced by the hooded tomb of Robert Wynn, builder of Plas Mawr, (d. 1598) in St Mary’s Conwy, I didn’t get a good photo of the #medieval tiles on the wall alongside. They may have inspired the more recent tiles nearby. #TilesonTuesday
