There's some gorgeous walks on the #SlowWays National Park Trail to try in June.
This was CatOxt 2 from #Caterham to #Oxted. Quiet and sometimes remote, even nesting ravens! And yet a short train trip from central London. And what a view from Oxted Downs!
beta.slowways.org/Route/Catoxt...
Tall grass in a meadow in a small valley. No visible buildings and there were none behind either. Sloping path up a wooded hillside. Sunshine coming through to the lush green undergrowth. Steep hillside meadow with a long view over farmlands and woods

#PostboxToppers

#Oxted
#Surrey

Not quite in the same league as the St Albans Yarnbombers who decorate more than 100 postboxes each Christmas with little knitted creations but our town has weighed in with this Easter effort. I think it’s cracking. I just hope it doesn’t rain.
A basket filled with multi-coloured eggs is surrounded by small rabbits, chicks and hats, all knitted in wool. They sit on a mauve wool base that is edged with daffodils, again knitted in wool. This is attached to the top of the red postbox. Underneath you can see the slot for posting letters plus the times and dates for collections. In the background, beyond the road and a green hedge, a large detached house stands against a blue sky.

Pub sign by road junction, trees in background. Landing lights, lamppost, aeroplane coming in to land against a blue sky background. And sadly a thumb, top left. 🤭 Modern business campus in Crawley, only a few minutes by bike from Gatwick airport. Trees and concrete on a sunny day. Old tractor, apparently abandoned, on roadside grass verge. Hedge and trees immediately behind.

Grasscutters on the 17th green look like they're playing dodgems. 🤔 Shrub. Bluebells in the woods with sunlight streaming through. Cherry trees on the edge of a swanky property.

I'm not seriously interested in cars but saw this Daimler from 1960's when having stroll by the cricket pitch today. See alt text.

#oxted #Daimler #policecar #UK
Daimler sports car, ex London Met Police, bought as part of a set to chase 'ton-up boys' - motorcycle racers in 60's and 70's. The police radio is still on the dashboard. Check out bell on grille - the car could reach 130mph - and was one of a batch bought specifically to discourage hi-speed bike races. The death toll reduced after the introduction of these cars.
