Making this piece was like solving a puzzle game where the words given to me were: movement, compass, circle and way.
Can you see how I connected the dots?
Volvo B10M-61 Plaxton Supreme V AAJ 674Y was supplied new to Roystons of Stockton in early 1983, following a shorter B10M-56 supplied the previous summer. I think this was just before the merger with Compass of Stockton leading to the well-known Compass Royston brand - any further details of those events would be most welcome. AAJ passed to Atkinsons, Ingleby Arncliffe in 1986 but returned home in 1995, eventually becoming a high capacity 3x2 seated school coach. By the time of this shot on 8th January, 2007, it had gained a slightly uncomfortable Paramount style front and a dark red and white livery which I believe was restricted to the school fleet.
I don't think anyone has ever made such a meal of repainting acquired vehicles as Compass Bus with their fleet of four London United Scania OmniCities but YT59 DYW now looks presentable with destination displays fitted too. It does retain its dual-door layout as illustrated in this scene at Billingshurst this afternoon, 4th October, 2023.
As some of you know, one of my hobbies is paranormal investigation. My aim is to find strong evidence of the existence of life after death. I have used all sorts of kit, some useful and some not so useful. In an attempt to find a good way to communicate, I have made a compass Ouija. I got the idea when I was at an investigation at Anne of Cleeves house in Lewes. In one room, we appeared to be talking to a ship's captain. In another room, we appeared to be talking to someone who was rather freaked out by our electronic gadgetry, with its flashing LEDs. I wanted to design something that wouldn't look intimidating to someone from a pre-electronic age, that stood some chance of being manipulable, was capable of capturing language-based communication and that was as immune to human influence as possible. So, this. It is built on the principle that "spirits" appear to find it difficult to move physical objects, but can make changes to electromagnetic fields (such as setting off EMF meters). So, they should also be able to manipulate a compass needle, by the same principle. I finally found a large enough compass to be able to see and give us room for manoeuvre. I also needed something that could be sealed, to avoid breeze (this has a clear lid). I will be debuting it on Saturday, so will report back on whether it works. In spite of its size, I am dubious about whether movements will be precise enough to use the letters and numbers, but let's see. I always have the "Yes", "No" responses to fall back on.

I'd never been too happy with shots I took of this wildflower from the sunflower family. There were only three of these flowers out, and I got the idea to shoot one of them with a small, white cloud in the background. I like this one a lot better than my previous efforts..... The background can make so much difference in macro shots....
Compass plant contains a resinous sap that was used by Native Americans as a chewing gum. Some tribes burned the dried roots to ward off lightening during storms. They believed that lightening occurred more frequently where compass plant grew, and they would not camp in those locations. The name "compass plant" alludes to the tendency for basal leaves of plants to align their edges north and south.
