She is my little dreamer, I can't believe she will be 7 soon! I adore this little girl.
Used my Lensbaby Composer for this shot.
The previously very elusive 92046 "Sweelinck" and 92021 "Purcell" contemplate their fate as they slowly fade away in store at Loughborough Brush - approaching two decades since they last worked.
046 and 021 are often hidden by parked lorry trailers - this being the first time I've been able to see them from the Loughborough Meadows behind the Brush works.
The History of the Stored Class 92s at Brush:
021, 040, 045 and 046 are the remaining stored Class 92s in the GB Railfreight fleet – with all four having been stored for the best part of two decades.
The Forgotten Four were part of the seven Class 92s originally owned by European Passenger Services (EPS) for use on the ill-fated Nightstar European sleeper service.
Up until April 2001, all of the EPS engines were used along with the rest of the Class 92 fleet as part of the common pool operated by EWS and based at Crewe ETD.
However, with the Nightstar project officially over, EPS offered their 92s for sale during 2000, but no buyers were found. Consequently, all seven were stored on 24 April 2001 - with 021, 040, 045 and 046 never having worked since.
021 and 040 were eventually purchased by Europorte (along with three other 92s) on 15 Feb 2007 from EPS for a total of £2m for the five locos (which cost £21m to build in 2007 prices).
021 and 040 remained stored and were moved by road from Crewe IEMD to Loughborough by Allelys in late July 2008. In Summer 2010, 021 and 040 moved to Cheriton where they remained for a while, before moving on to Coquelles/Frethun Eurotunnel Depot in Autumn 2011.
021 and 040 remained at Frethun Depot in store until being repatriated on 24/11/2018 and 08/12/2018 respectively for parts recovery and storage at Loughborough Brush.
The remaining two EPS 92s - 045 and 046 - were also purchased by Europorte in November 2007. They were both moved by road to Loughborough in late July 2008 and have remained at Brush ever since, donating parts to the rest of the Europorte/GB Railfreight fleet.
In February 2014, all Europorte Class 92s – including the stored locomotives - were sold to its then subsidiary, GB Railfreight Limited. The Caledonian Sleeper contract meant the GBRf active fleet increased to 12 of their 16 engines. However, the remaining four stored locos – ironically all originally intended for sleeper operations – are unlikely to work again.
4.1.15... it's my birthday today :-) and H gave me a lensbaby composer!! It's a bit tricky to control the sweet spot but I forsee lots of fun with it this year!!
I bought a few bunches of flowers in the supermarket today to shoot and all three were labeled exactly the same - "novelty pom", yet all three were completely different.
Shot with the lensbaby composer. Basically SOOC - don't know how those white stars multiplied like that ;)
This was taken just after Shanti (our kitten) died - you can see it in her eyes.
Kiara has a new haircut.

The pretty Cotswold village of Down Ampney is best known as the birthplace of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. There is a fascinating exhibit on Down Ampney's favourite son in the tower of All Saints Church. Also within the church are tombs to members of the powerful Hungerford family although their main seat was not here, but at Farleigh Hungerford, in Somerset.
All Saints was founded by the Knights Templar in 1265, though much of its current shape is the result of a Victorian rebuilding. The spire dates to the 14th century, when the south porch was added.
The church is notable for its excellent stained glass, much of it Victorian or modern. The interior is a symphony of woodwork, notably the intricately carved south transept screen and pulpit. The Victorian north transept screen incorporates Jacobean panelling and a coat of arms.
In the south transept are a pair of effigies, partly shielded by a canopied niche. The closest effigy is that of Sir Nicholas de Valers (or de Valery), a Templar knight associated with the founding of the church. De Valers is clad in full armour, his hand drawing his sword, his legs crossed and resting on a curious beast, perhaps a lion.
The second effigy, partly within the niche, is that of a lady, thought to be Sir Nicholas's wife, Margaret Bassett. Unlike her warlike husband, Lady de Valers is shown in a pious pose. She must have been well-liked by the villagers, for when her husband was away at war she built a tower to safely store the villager's tools.
There are several interesting stained glass windows in the chapel; one shows a series of nautical parables. It was given to the church by Admiral Charles Talbot in thanks after his ship survived a storm off Sebastopol in 1854. The other window depicts the Resurrection Stone and is dedicated to Ralph Vaughan Williams's father.
When the order of Templars was suppressed by the Crown in 1315 the living of Down Ampney passed to the Abbey of Cirencester, who retained it until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, after which it passed again Christ's Church College, Oxford.
The nave is supported on pointed arches decorated with a profusion of red flowers. One theory is that they are a reminder of the bubonic plague, when a red rash appears suddenly on the victim's skin.
The plague, or Black Death, might explain why the church stands at a distance from the centre of the village. It was common for villagers who survive the plague to move further away from the old village site. Further traces of red paint still cling to a 13th century tomb recess in the chancel, possibly meant as a founder's tomb.
There are a mix of Norman and 13th century columns in the nave, where the Arnhem Memorial Window, showing a Dakota aircraft, occupies the north wall. The window is a reminder that many of the airmen who took part in the Battle of Arnhem flew from Down Ampney Airfield. There is an annual service every September to remember those who took part in the military occupation.
The north transept, or Hungerford Chapel, is enclosed within a fine oak screen. Part of the screen is made from the Musician's Gallery at Cirencester Abbey. Within the chapel is a grandiose memorial (1637) to Sir James Hungerford and his son Anthony, successive lords of the manor, shown kneeling and facing each other across a prayer desk in a pious pose. There is no sign of Sir James's wife (Anthony's mother), although there is a small brass plaque to Mary Berkeley, Sir James's first wife, directly opposite the monument on the west wall of the chapel.
