Not much of a Led Zep fan but this was a fantastic listen. Spending nearly an hour before mentioning a member of the band, the cataloguing of Page's "borrowings", 2 hours 37 minutes and ends before Led Zep is even formed, all very sickos.jpg and I love it!

Timber stack above Alnham, Northumberland. Not going to be great on the local road when all that is transferred off the hillside. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #FujifilmX #Photography #Northumberland
🤣 Thanks Jevon
Above the small village of Alnham are the remains of a medieval settlement and its associated lynchets (narrow ploughstrips terraced into the hillside). I’m not sure how these differ from rig and furrow? #FootpathFriday #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Northumberland
