I walk past No. 24 Queen Square every day and it’s probably my favourite building in the square. Incredible to think that the original late 18th century building was demolished in the 1930s to allow for the construction of a dual carriage way which bisected the square. Thankfully sense was seen and the Square was fully restored to its former glory. (at Queen Square, Bristol)

I have featured this door before, but it’s one of my favourites. (at Redcliffe Parade)

More grey...one of my favourite Brock Street front doors. (at Brock Street Bath Uk)

Even with the downside of having grockles peering over the railings into one's jardin, I still wouldn't say no to a nice garden flat in the Royal Crescent. (at Royal Crescent)

Keeping with last night's grey theme... William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire by Thomas Hudson. (at Chatsworth House)

Apologies for all the ‘lategrams’ at the moment; I haven’t had many opportunities to do any snapping, plus I’ve still got loads of stuff from Derbyshire. (at Chatsworth House)

Origami fashion in the Library… (at Chatsworth House)

Who doesn't have a valet to blanco their Converse? (at Chatsworth House)

Chatsworth redux… Lucian Freud’s portraits of the Cavendish family. (at Chatsworth House)

Dior by Galliano… (at Chatsworth House)

If you don’t like the weather, don’t worry, it’ll change in a minute… (at Chatsworth House)

Spotted on Mount Street this morning... #mayfair #london #soloparking #car #bianchina #autobianchi (at Scott's Restaurant)

It was a joy, after Tuesday's tempests, to get some sun for my morning in Spitalfields. Also a treat to finally meet up with the charming @toneloki I tried very hard to avoid all the usual London Insta-tropes...and then I turned the corner onto Elder Street... #london #spitalfields #elderstreet #morrisminor #soloparking

This morning's elephant garlic shot reminded of this rather nice dark chocolate and lilac combo on Wilkes Street. #redbrick #spitalfields #terrace #georgianarchitecture #instaarchitecture #architecture (at Spitalfields)

Another gem from this morning...a very rare Honda S800. #bristol #car #hondas800 #sportscar (at Queen Square, Bristol)

As they say in Venezuela, 'Tanta curva y yo sin frenos....' #jaguar #etypejaguar #sportscar #classiccar #bristol (at Queen Square, Bristol)
