Weather somewhat less kind for the second half of our Swiss hiking holiday - but landscapes perhaps more dramatic because of it. Another 40.5 hiking miles to add to my total. #nhs1000miles

A day of contrasts on the Somerset/North Devon border: damselflies on the river Exe; a visiting Shropshire Morris troupe; Lynmouth harbour; and Exmoor ponies in the evening light, with deer behind

Unexpected literary - and gastronomic - tourism passing through the Gloucestershire village of Slad, where Laurie Lee spent much of his life. 1st pic is the memorial window in the church, the food is at his local, The Woolpack

Fascinating insight into the history, art & craft of @fellranger1's line drawings @ArmittMuseum this morning. Here he is with a diagram from the 'Borrowdale' volume of his Fellranger Guides (Cicerone). Spot the Wainwright influence! Many thanks Mark for a great talk.

And the readings star Jean Scott-Smith (the President of the Lakeland Dialect Society) & John Campbell, with supporting cast Phillip Gage and Louise Green. They're all native dialect speakers and fabulous performers. It will be great fun!

CCumbria Uni English@CumbriaEnglish · Jul 20

This will be a wonderful event not least because the readings are introduced by our MA graduate @sue_wilkinson who has researched the history and development of these plays in depth 📚🍃

Indeed! And our statement to the press - when we came out of court - included the sentence: "This judgment will not stand the test of time".

CCelia Kitzinger@KitzingerCelia · Jul 5

That judgment has not aged well! 🤣 bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

A walk down memory lane (aka The Strand) this week. It's 19 years since our High Court case seeking legal recognition of our marriage in England & Wales [bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…] was heard at the Royal Courts of Justice:
