Bringing a little colour to your life each day - with six things that delight, inform and entertain.
Charlestown is the last open 18th Century Georgian harbour in the UK and a UNESCO world heritage site. By a quirk of history it remained unchanged whilst the world moved on around it, and is now the home of a fleet of tall ships.
The Chester Rows are a set of structures in each of the four main streets of Chester, consisting of a series of covered walkways on the first floor, behind which are entrances to shops and other premises. At street level is another set of shops and other premises, many of which are entered by going down a few steps.
The starling is a familiar bird visitor to gardens around Britain, notable for the beautiful purple-and-green sheen to its black feathers. It is also famous for its wintry aerial displays with massive flocks of sterlings to be seen wheeling in apparently co-ordinate aerobatics over both built-up areas and farmland.
The name Whitechapel conjures up images of the impoverished East End of Jack the Ripper, rather than a gleaming little church. So how did this name come about? Is the white chapel still there?
The Church of St. Dunstan-in-the-East was originally built in about 1100, and, after being rebuilt following severe damage in the Great Fire of 1666, it was decimated by the Blitz in 1941. Now, its ruins provide a secluded and charming secret garden, tucked away near Lower Thames Street in the City of London, halfway between the Tower and London Bridge.
Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, Scotland is a picture-postcard of a place with brightly painted buildings along the edge of the harbour, beneath high woodland-fringed hills surrounding the bay.
