Pretirement:one year on
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observations and questions.

An honor awarded quickly after the honoree's death perhaps suggests said honoree suspecting the posthumous honor.
Would that be the case with Doctor ...

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Towards the waterfall, advises us that " Liminal places include mountain tops and sites of great natural beauty."

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works
The in-text image between the first subheading, Illustrations, and the second, Relief, appears quite aesthetic, quite striking.

Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Walk, Cumbria
Your first in-text image apprises us of railway bridges.
The aforementioned bridge now serves as a footpath. What was its original function, purpose and use?

The Appeal of Ruins
The demons are rogue angels, so it is thought, so lack human souls. We do not know much about the damned, whether there is any hope for them.

Chadkirk Chapel, Cheshire
Your daughter-in-law caught such clear images through her camera.
In particular, the second and the fifth in-text images convey the beauty of, and the skill behind, the arboricultural espaliering technique.
Do you like wall-trained trees? I do ...

The Appeal of Ruins
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observations and question.
