Godiva is a 33 feet high puppet which is travelling from Coventry to London as part of the Cultural Olympiad. When she arrived in Northampton she was presented with a bespoke pair of riding boots made by a local manufacturer - size 72! Unfortunately she was wearing a long skirt, which meant that we could only see a small part of them.
After receiving the boots on the Market Square she made her way around the town centre preceded by a motley crew made up of the Mayor,and some Councillors, corset wearing Morris Dancers, Belly Dancers, the 'Ministry of Cycles', and 'Wicker Maidens' - who I assume were the yong ladies bearing flowers.

Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Lots of Mumford and Sons here lately.

From my first night out with the d70s. This is the view just down the street from my house, looking at Chagrin Falls.

This piece represents time. On the left is the past, where the elephant reminds us to remember, though it is blurred to indicate that we shouldn't focus on the past. The middle, that is bright and in focus is the present. The right represents the future with all of the lines showing that there are many paths for our future to take.

Monday 01 May 2017: Sangda Phedi (4190 m) - Sangda (3710 m)
Awake before Budi arrived with bed tea, and a glimpse of the low clouds and snow falling outside.
After breakfast - with coffee as a treat - Nima led the way as Ernst, Christine, Sam and I continued on with the descent into the Chalung Khola valley. A dusting of snow on the juniper, rocky “Bryce Canyon-like” pinnacles made the mountainsides a magical fairyland. A lot of down brought us to the Chalung Khola and a metal suspension bridge. Less relieved to see the trail steeply ascending back up on the other side! Soon done though, and we found ourselves on an easy trail that hugged the hillsides, keeping mainly on the level and, in time, bringing us out of the snow.
A second descent over mud and rocks brought us to our second (side) river crossing, this time with stepping stones, and another ascent and narrower trails. Sheep and goats roaming the hillsides. One final, slippy, side stream crossing just before we got to Sangda / Santi. The trail acquired stone walls, and we walked past fields, chortens and mani walls, spotting the blue mess tent soon after, and our orange tents materialising alongside hot orange as we strolled into camp around noon.
A super morning’s walking.
We were camped just outside the school (and used their loos), set above the village, which gave us a great vantage point for watching all the comings and goings.
Yesterday’s pass had brought us out of Dolpa and into Mustang District (मुस्ताङ जिल्ला) and the Annapurna Conservation Area, so we were on a different permit, and a different kind of place. The village has a dirt road leading up the valley from the Kali Gandaki and the main towns below. It’s still a traditional looking village though - stone houses with flat mud and branch roofs, terraced fields.
Puri, chips, sweetcorn and broad beans for lunch, and visits from village ladies with coral and turquoise to sell.
The skies cleared up as the afternoon progressed, and we got super views back up the valley and to the mountain range we’d crossed yesterday, and our descent - we could see both passes and the blue roof at Sangda Phedi. Lots of photos during the afternoon, plus diary, a spot of manky hanky washing, snoozing, reading, chatting….
Tea, Ten Thousand then dinner. In bed by 8pm for another night of snotting and coughing.

I've always wanted to go to Crystal Crescent in the winter, too bad there wasn't snow down, but I did see a cute porcupine and a cute boy :)

Part 1 of a photoshoot with rock band Awake The Empire. There wasn't enough time in the day for a photoshoot and band practice so we've had to re-schedule a second part in this shoot for next week in which I hope to achieve a lot more with them.

This would be in what is now 1 Pace Plaza in downtown Manhattan; the Tribune building, which is where one Pace Plaza now stands, is visible to the left. The New York Times is across the street in the upper center of the photo.
The source gives no date or artist. As a poster shows Hamlin as Lincoln's running mate, this would have been prior to the 1860 election. There was a large march and rally of Wide-Awakes on October 3, 1860, and this may be an image of that march. See gathkinsons.net/sesqui/?p=1020.

Mumford & Sons - Awake my soul
Nella vita è tutta una questione di obiettivi.
E come raggiungerli.
L'obiettivo di raggiungere i propri obiettivi.
Beh, nell'ultimo mese ne ho raggiunti tanti, o meglio ne ho raggiunti e superati alcuni. Per quanto niente di speciale possa sembrare agli altri. Lo è stato per me.
Ciò per cui sono grata per la vita che ho.
Ho visto la costa del Labrador e della Nuova Scotia dal mio aereo. E in quel momento ho deciso che un giorno ci andrò. (E sarà un caso che esiste li una Mumford Road proprio come la canzone che ho scelto come sottofondo...)
Ho corso in discesa su un sentiero sotto un temporale estivo, con l'odore della terra bagnata nelle narici e i colori della foresta intorno a me che cambiavano ancora una volta.
(E ho capito che Bear Grylls ha ragione quando dice che il modo più rapido per scendere da una montagna è di corsa...però non funziona proprio tanto bene sul terreno di roccia a gradoni... :D)
Ho deciso che un giorno proverò a fare l' Appalachian Trail.
Ho fatto il bagno nell'Oceano Atlantico.
Ho visto un pellicano volarmi davanti al traghetto per Okracoke Island.
Ho visto un cervo attraversare la strada e l'ho seguito nel bosco.
Ho mangiato Il babercue alla maniera del Tennessee e la sera ho mandato email agli amici da una sedia a dondolo sotto il portico di un motel di Townseld.
Ho visto mamma orsa con i cuccioli a 10 metri da me lungo il fiume.
Ho visto giocare gli scoiattoli.
Ho fatto un sentiero fantastico di 20km. Non pensavo di farcela. Ero stremata, ma L'HO FATTO!
Ho guardato il panorama dallo strapiombo di una cascata.
Ho fotografato un airone in una palude.
(si, sono stata in una palude in estate...questo è stata un'impresa, considerando la fobia per gli insetti)
Ho parlato (per quanto riesca a fare con il mio inglese orribile...) con una signora che credo fosse Amish -mi sembrava scortese chiederlo...- i cui 8 figli mi squadravano dalla testa ai piedi, come se fossi stata un'aliena....
Ho mangiato al bancone in un ristorante italiano e fatto amicizia con i commensali.
Ho mangiato messicano, cinese fusion nelle scatole di cartone take out (non take away) ; ho fatto l'american breakfast, credendo di non riuscirci mai nella vita.
Ho scoperto che se voglio la carne al sangue devo dire 'rare'.
Sono sopravvissuta a 36 gradi con umidità del 60%, all' escursione termica di quando entri a 15 gradi nei locali; al cappuccino incandescente ed al mezzo bicchiere di ghiaccio nelle bevande.
Il risveglio ogni mattina, per due settimane, è stato con un bacio della persona che amo.
Ho dato da bere alle formiche.
Ho sentito il vero accento del sud ed ora mi fa ancora più ridere Brad Pitt in Inglorious basterds quando parla (in lingua originale)
Ho visto un bruco con la frangetta.
Ho visto un rodeo.
Ho scoperto cos'è il "rye" e sentito il suo sapore.
Ho mangiato su una piazzola di sosta sull' Alexander Parkway, seduta in terra, con l'asfalto 'apparecchiato' e le Smokeys da cornice.
E queste solo alcune cose.
Ma la sensazione più grande è stata
riuscire a scalare tre quarti dell'ultimo tratto del Chimney Tops Trail con le scarpe da hiking e lo zaino fotografico di 15kg sulle spalle. Arrivata su, mi sono guardata intorno, con le Smoky Mountains a 360 gradi intorno a me. E sono scoppiata a piangere. E' impossibile da descrivere.
Sarei voluta arrivare fin su. Ma con quelle scarpe e lo zaino era impossibile. La prossima volta. Non importa se ho raggiunto la cima; ho raggiunto e superato quelli che pensavo fossero i miei limiti.
Un altro obiettivo raggiunto. E, adesso scusate, ne ho un miliardo di altri da raggiungere... ;)
LIVE CURIOUS!
