This is the 'Edge' under which Wotton-under-Edge sits.

Hello & good morning / TZAG Fedi.
Our Gloucestershire holiday continues and today we're heading over towards Ross-on-Wye to amble around the town, do a bit of hiking, and mooch around the ruined but very picturesque Goodrich Castle.

32/33C here today.
Not nice.
Just another 30C day in a UK summer not even halfway through again today.
Nothing at all odd to see here.
As we approach the already third heatwave of this never-ending summer, it's already feeling quite sultry here this afternoon.
Bug for Tuesday - a Scarlet tiger moth, Callimorpha dominula, somewhere near the Forest of Dean, #Gloucestershire. June 2025.
(There's just the barest hint of the brilliant red secondary wings - which I only found out about on identification using this photo...)

Bonus #bloomscrolling, from somewhere near the Forest of Dean. #Gloucestershire, June 2025.
Cooler than yesterday and expected today here. Only a high of 26C after 30C yesterday.
Quite a lot of cloud cover also.
Are you in or around #Cheltenham and do either you or your children like riding your bike safely away from traffic?

A shock of summer flowers, in St Mary's graveyard, Berkeley, Glos. Surrounded by tombs & memorials to people long forgotten.
When I go, I want to be flowers.

Just had this flash across my mind from nowhere - and maybe other places had this - but in #Cheltenham when I was a child back in the 90s we had for many years the 'Donkey Derby'.
Yes, it was donkey racing. And I'm now thinking just how they got away at a family event allowing unregulated betting on the races.
So we've had two short lasting but large drop showers so far today. 26C under cloud cover.
The likely hottest day of the year has started out nice and fresh with a keen breeze here in the West of England.
I've been terribly late with posting bugs - so here are some bugs, from the #ForestOfDean, #Gloucestershire. Some stripy-kneed cricket nymphs (Leptophyes punctatissima?) and some miscellaneous beetles...

For #thickTrunkTuesday - a rather hefty specimen somewhere near the #ForestOfDean, #Gloucestershire. (Is it pushing the wall over, or holding it up? Both, probably...)
