After a recent trip to Brussels I’ve been thinking of museums I’ve visited. My top five at the moment, in no particular order, are:

– Ca’ Rezzonico, the Museum of 18th century Venice
– Keats-Shelley House, Rome
– Casa Fernando Pessoa, Lisbon
– Acropolis Museum, Athens
– Magritte Museum, Brussels

This is my second viewing of Peterloo and I’ve rated it more highly this time – 5★ instead of 4★. On first watching I found it a little long and slow, dragging slightly. This time I was far more engaged with the characters and found it a gripping slow-burn to a dramatic finale. Great filmmaking.

Morning walk through local forestry to a nearby scheduled monument, the Carn Castell y Meibion cairn.

I only learned of and found this site recently. It consists of the remains of a Bronze Age ring cairn.

There are two similar monument sites nearby which I’m also going to seek out.
