Originally called Canal Mill, and built in 1855, this former cotton mill has had several uses since it stopped cotton making in the 1950s. Firstly it was used as a chicken and battery hen "farm" before being sold to a national company for vehicle repairs and parts. In the mid 1990s it was bought and converted into the attraction it is today - a shopping and tourist attraction that is called Botany Bay Villages. The Botany Bay coming from an area of Chorley that housed navvies when the canal was built

The "ideal library". A small shopfront library with exquisite design and planning. Many, many innovative features. Co-located with a commercial bookshop and cinema.

We're at it again! The ever-changing, ever-exploring group of guys I hang out with and I took to the backroads for our monthly adventure and were not disappointed.
Our destination: Historic Botany Bay Plantation on Edisto Island.
This vast landholding has been deeded to the state of South Carolina and it is finally open to the public.
My buds and I planned to cash in on this freebie while it lasted. Certainly the department of Natural Resources would soon clamp down on the access [for preservation's sake] and we wanted to see it all before then.
Wide, lacy marshes, airy maritime forest, wild game lands, and an unspoiled beach await us...

The old windbag going on and on about Lamium amplexicaule, "henbit." Look at Brian, playing with his foot. (I still have those old pants in 2022.)
The scientific name for this plant is Capsicum frutescens L.and also known as birdchilli and cili padi.It is under family Solanaceae.This photo is taken in Taman Bunga Blossom, Seremban
Capsicum is a genus of plants from the nightshade family (Solanaceae) native to the Americas, where it was cultivated for thousands of years by the people of the tropical Americas, and is now cultivated worldwide. Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are commonly called chili pepper, capsicum, red or green pepper, or sweet pepper in Britain. Capsicum in Australian English and Indian English. The large mild form is called bell pepper in the US. They are called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit).
School of Botany, Melbourne University. Just about the first grey day this autum. This particular corner of the university looks wonderful at the moment.

Kurnell is famous for being the birthplace of the modern Australian nation. It is where Captain James Cook first landed in Australia in 1777.
My first bus trip for 11½ weeks was on my local bus on the Huddersfield to Houses Hill 241 route operated by South Yorkshire Community Buses.. I then walked back home for my daily excercise from Botany Lane, Lepton.
