Sea loch and stone stack

Cycling past a beach on Loch Linnhe, I had to stop for a closer look at the striking stones on the beach. And once I stopped, I had to build a stone tower...

I love to do this on a beach. Here's some I built earlier: by a river near Machynlleth, 'stepping stones' in Dorset, and soon-to-be-demolished-by-the-tide near Chichester.

My choice from Chelsea

This year I wrote two image-led features on the Chelsea Flower Show within 24 hours of returning to my desk after press day (Monday, same as the royals, although the press are chucked out before the royal visit). Having got up before 6am for two days on the trot, I was tired. Hence the delay in this post – just a few of my favourite shots from the Chelsea Flower Show.

Beautiful bronze irises, from the Vestra Wealth Mindful Living garden. Shades of bronze, orange and copper were everywhere at 2016's Chelsea.
