Released 28 Oct 1977, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols". In 1987, Rolling Stone magazine named the album the second best of the previous 20 years, just behind the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I still have my copy. #NeverMindTheBollocks #SexPistols

The very lovely 14th century doorway into the Church of St. Andrew in Great Staughton, Cambridgeshire 😍 As ever, there are plenty of bits of evidence still clinging on, to show that the doorway was once limewashed and the walls plastered.

One of the doors from the Guild House at Knowle, near Solihull. The building was originally established as the headquarters of the Guild of St. Anne - a religious and charitable guild founded in 1413. 📸 My own. #AdoorableThursday #Knowle

Evan Charlton was closely associated with Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden, a virtuoso at capturing everyday scenes and little details from English provincial life. This work (1944) depicts a couple of 'canal girls,' who transported vital goods on the canal system during WW2.

Nectarines were a surprisingly popular fruit among Victorian gardeners, who generally had to grow them under glass. 'Victoria' was most probably introduced by Rivers Nursery of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire in the 1840s to mark the new Queen's accession.

August from Eliot Hodgkin's 'The Months', 1950. The colours are warm and rich - vibrant zinnias, cuckoo pint berries, the rust of a sorrel flower, the first pear, apricot and mushrooms of the year, and, by contrast, a cluster of snowberries and a pale ear of wheat.
