Possibly Persian ironwood?
🤔🤔😉
Cheers James, very pleasantly surprised considering
Cheers Anson, two weeks ago I was convinced Id have to pull out thanks to a heavy cold

Deffo on the late intervals for me too. Fascinating variation
A carpet, circa 1970, vaguely floral in shades of brown, beige and gold with lurid green detailing
A stunning carpet in the rental cottage - the radioactive green detsiling is exquisite
I always struggle with sleep after intervals or long runs, and appetite. Guessing its all those hormones sloshing about?

Not bad for an old geezer with dodgy sinuses - nice friendly event from Charm Bracelet events ☺️

Do as I say not as I do 😉 Marathon on Sunday and very ‘meh’ about it 😕

Crocus ‘Hummingbird’ revelling in the warm sunshine today ☺️
I do love a ghost gable like this found near Ancoats in Manchester - but it's rarer still to find the intangible signs of the puff of smoke from the chimney...

After getting body-slammed by a nasty cold 10 days ago it was good to get out yesterday and today. Morland Marathon might still happen after all 🤞
Top job both 🥳🥳
Still running though - top job ☺️ Far more folk would just quit
Having never seen an Ulmus seedling Im amazed how similar the cotyledons are to Carpinus - beautiful photo!

Don’t forget your Obolos!
Tassle like flowers, palest yellow easing into an apricot red tip with some green leaves
A new tree for me today at Bedgebury Pinetum, Sycopsis sinensis - or even better, the Chinese fig-hazel.
