'Lance Corporal Jones'

Sit Com 'Dad's Army!'

Clive Robert Benjamin Dunn OBE was an English actor. Although he was only 48 and one of the youngest cast members, he was cast in a role many years his senior, as the elderly Lance Corporal Jones in the BBC sitcom Dad's Army, which ran for nine series and 80 episodes between 1968 and 1977.

Rapeseed, also known as rape, or oilseed rape, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of erucic acid. Canola are a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.

Just managed to catch this very pale imm bird as it flew through A small clearing in the trees directly overhead so A snatch shot !!

The SE.5A pilot (New Zealander Clive Caldwell) had a mid-air collision that damaged his left aileron (you can see the damage on the upper wing). Caldwell rode the craft down from the wing and jumped clear in the last seconds before the crash.

Caldwell did not have a parachute. The parachute had been invented and some German pilots wore them. The official stance of the Allied high command, however, was that pilots should be focused on aerial combat- not jumping to safety.

We finally arrived in Napier at 12:26 and we went to have something for lunch and sat down on a bench in the Clive Square / Memorial Square to eat .... Of course there were once again many pictures taken of this beautiful garden!!

Clive Square was included in the original town plan mapped out in 1854. Abutting downtown Napier, it provides a verdant vista for shoppers and cafe-goers looking west down Emerson Street.

The park was conceived as the equivalent of the English village green, and Napier's first cricket and football matches were played here. A track that cut across the middle of the square later became the street that divides the area into two - Clive Square and Memorial Square.

In 1886, the square was enclosed with white picket fencing and gates at the corner entrances. Most of the enclosed area was in lawn, with trees and shrubs planted around the perimeter. The Clive Square side boasted a large centered circle, and seating around the outside of this faced inwards to a central band rotunda.

Thanks to all who take the time to visit and comment on my photo stream....it's greatly appreciated. Also for all of the invitations to join or post my photos into groups!

Caught as the sun was rising this morning .The beautiful fiery greenfinch a bird only the nuthatch can move off a feeder anything else their own size doesn't seem to intimidate them.

Their numbers have really plummeted locally.

A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly.

My final share from a photoshoot with Clive Myrie.

86259 (E3137) 'Les Ross' crosses the Shropshire Union Canal Middlewich Branch at what appeared to be ton-up with the RYTC 'Pennine Blackpool Express'. The Spark later gave way to Jubilee 45690 'Leander' for the Carnforth - Hellifield - Blackpool leg of the tour.

Colin is going through his notebook trying to find something he wrote 9 months ago. He’s been paging backwards and forwards for the last 10 minutes. “I’m sure it’s in here, I only saw it the other day when looking for something else”.

Deliberation Dave, who surprisingly predicts the future rather well, silently thinks to himself that one day we’ll have an electronic version of Clive’s notebook. It will also be able to take and store photos as well as make phone calls. Hopefully Clive won’t buy one of those, for we’d be here all day whilst he faffs about looking for something on it.

Meanwhile Elvis over near the pithead is looking for a guitar plectrum he dropped last week. Whatever happens to all those guitar plectrums? I buy several packs a year, far more than ever get found in the washing machine or pub carpet.

To begin with "Clive" was a bit too active!!! ... then we had to have forty winks in the corner ... but we finally got a little bit of cooperation after the promise of a few treats...
