Detail from the "August" entry — complete with wild swimmers — in the "Labors of the Months" section of the Très Riches Heures, probably the most important illuminated manuscript of the 15th century (“the king of illuminated manuscripts”).⠀ ⠀ Swipe left for an intriguing detail... 😳⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #august #wildswimming #medieval #middleages #wildswimmers #manuscript #tresrichesheures #bookofhours https://www.instagram.com/p/B0n2nJVHj9N/?igshid=1j7jvae1hzcvi

My not quite full bore Mr Angry Northern Ireland, no 4 letter words and no mention of the "the lads calling round " . It is my first thoughts as I arrived on site this morning after a heads up about what it might be like. 6 days last week we gathered rubbish, even to the point of looking for fag butts and bottle tops. No longer feeling polite about this substantial minority of idiots who feel they can do this with impunity Hope you all think your smart and funny, it shows just how stupid a bunch of ###### you are. You've been, you've messed up now do us all a favour and dont come back. Sure have a bit of fun, but for gods sake have respect for the countryside you visit and yourself. @discovercarlisle @lakedistrict @lakedistrictcumbria @cumbriacops @northeast.england #wildswimmers #leavenotrace #leaveonlyfootprints #litterlouts #crammellinn (at Crammel Linn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJEhidJvPf/?igshid=ekg1va1bgcib
