The UK’s Good Trouble?
(Return) to the Sea
Chichester still boasts an encircling Roman wall which has been restored with a walking path – After our time in the cathedral we completed the short, 1½-mile circuit.

Making America Great, according to MLK
If we want to make America great again, we might try to manifest Martin Luther King Jr’s words, engraved here along San Diego’s Martin Luther King Promenade.
Ruined Amphitheatre
After the barrack ruins we wandered over to the grassy ruins of a Roman amphitheatre (see more pictures below).
Ruins of Roman Barracks
After the baths and the museum, we walked up the road a piece to the ruins of the Roman barracks. See more images below (click on them to see larger). The long trench you see was a Roman toilet where soldiers would sit and defecate communally, using a sponge on a stick to wipe themselves, then dipping it in a flowing water channel in front of them before soaking in vinegar to disinfect it for the next use.
Arles Street Scenes
Arles is lovely and quaint. I don’t know what it feels like to live in any of these buildings but they possess an ancient , very European charm and a certain grandeur to look at. Click any of the images below to see them full sized.
Lime Kilns
Lindisfarne
Walking back from the boats and lobster pots we viewed the ruins of Lindisfarne a short way off. Click either picture below to see them larger.
Dry Salvages

The Tree
I think I probably posted a picture of this tree last time I visited Waverley Abbey but it really does stand out from its surroundings. This time we brought our US visitors on our hike to the ruined abbey and I took a bunch more shots – I hope not too similar to those I posted last time. Click any of the images below to see them enlarged (you may have to click into the post title first for this to work if you’re seeing this in email or on social media).
Castle Keep
We had visitors from the US staying with us in the middle of August so we walked up to Farnham Castle again. Ever since the Magritte Museum in Brussels, I’ve been photographing sky through windows and over rooftops.
