The impressive ruins of 17th century Houghton House near Ampthill, Bedfordshire, are really interesting to have a wander around. Supposedly the inspiration for John Bunyan’s ‘House Beautiful’ in Pilgrim’s Progress 🤩

The charge of the furry brigade, Ampthill House llama farm, 1926. Few people thought of animal rights in the Twenties, and maybe the llamas enjoyed the ride. Die Last der Fellbrigade auf der Lama-Farm von Ampthill House, 1926. In den zwanziger Jahren waren Tierschutzvereine noch unbekannt, aber vielleicht gefiel den Lamas dieser Ausritt sogar. Brigade au pas de charge. Elevage de lamas à Ampthill House, 1926. A cette époque, peu de gens se préoc-cupaient des droits des animaux. Quant aux lamas, peut-être aimaient-il se promener ainsi.

When in Ampthill (which I was yesterday) you must channel your inner Catherine of Aragon. Ampthill has so much history and later this summer I’m teaming up with Bryan Bland again for an episode about Ampthill’s historically spooky side. You can be Catherine too at the Queen’s Head pub.

I met up with Bryan from the fabulously frightening Ampthill Ghost Walks last night, to chat about ghosts! It turns out we were at school together. It’s a very small world. Expect to hear from Bryan in a future episode of the podcast all about Ampthill.
On the left Bryan with short grey hair and pale blue eyes. He’s smiling. I am on the right with bobbed blonde hair I have brown eyes and I’m also smiling.

Fond memories of this place. I went to the middle school in Ampthill and we had an after school photography trip there once (as well as occasional mooching about there). Last there around '98 (below).

Went urban sketching today with the beds urban sketchers in Ampthill. I have been lazy (actually, I’ve been doing parkrun) and haven’t been for 3 years.
And the group has expanded with over 28 people coming out on a glorious Saturday morning.
