This story has piqued my interest this morning. That the personal situation of one councillor can shut down the facilities of an entire council feels like a systemic fault.
'Tracks End'

This is just the JPEG, haven't done an edit on the RAW yet, but I reckon this shot from the Marine Lake at #Clevedon on Friday is gonna bang.

Clevedon pier, Somerset
Described by John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England"

Also BBC News is going hard to cover the #Clevedon "protester's" point of view in these pieces. "Flummoxed", "bizarre", "baffled", and "dangerous and confusing". All for things that will have gone through a public consultation and the council will have provided plenty of information about.
But more weird is this photo from the #Clevedon "campaign group" #SaveOurSeafront which contains a really grotesque twisting of BLM messaging saying "white lines matter" and maybe even more disturbing a cap with "POLICE" written on it.
It's not a UK police cap although I'm going to suggest that the person who owns it is definitely a problematic character. Probably owns his own handcuffs too...if you know what I mean...
Drivists in #Clevedon are losing their shit about the seafront #cycleLane because they say it's "not in keeping with the look of the Victorian seafront".
Unlike a load of parked cars!
My latest weekend adventure was to walk the Summit track in #Clevedon also known as 'the stairway to heaven'. My friend and I were aware that it was about 1000 steps (ie stairs) to the top, however we didn't realise it was a constant climb for about the first 800. A great let workout if that's what you're looking for! Helpfully someone had attached ear tags with the step count along the way, which was a good motivator. The veiw from the top was excellent.
Very frosty walk this morning

Another #torc up close & personal - this time #Clevedon torc from #Somerset .
This is a buffer terminal - called such because, with flat end, it looks a bit like a train buffer. This torc is about 35mm diameter & 27mm high. It weighs 34g (so about 3 x £1 coins). The decoration is in lower relief than other torcs & it is generally more delicate.
But again, despite looks, this is a sturdy thing & you're surprised at weight in your hand.

The #Clevedon torc terminal which can be seen at the #BritishMuseum.
This #torc has always puzzled folks as it appears to show Stage1/2 c.4thC BC motifs on the side, but later Stage V c.1stC BC motifs on the face. This has been assumed to be indicative of longevity of art styles...
... but what if the terminal is actually a cut down torus torc of #Snettisham / #Netherurd variety, remodelled in the later Iron Age?

I find the annual summer show to be a fascinating experience. They represent this unique facet of what it can mean to be British in rural England.
