For this weeks theme I decided (with my husbands help) to go with the connection between where two pieces of wood are joined. This picture is 3" x 2.5" and is of a small chalk box used many years ago in schools. Remember chalk? Is it still used today in schools or have we moved to an electronic chalk board?
This may be my last submission for a while as I head out on holidays for a month. Happy Macro Monday everyone!

The blogpost with all film photos I took when Noukka stayed with me is up!
Touching wedding rings - a tiny physical connection, which belies the huge emotional one they represent.
A bit scratched and marked after many happy years, but still doing their job!
An interesting connection/technique I happened upon recently with the ranger hat (98279) and small dino head (40384) elements. The connection is sturdy and doesn't put the head under that much stress.
I have one idea for it, but I would love to hear your thoughts!

Relationships and connections can sure be fickle sometimes. Before I was born my Father completed his 2 years National Service, during which he met my Mother.
When he completed his National Serrvice he joined the T.A.V.R. and completed over 15 years service.
Sadly when he died I was reminded of a connection between us that we never seemed to talk about in an otherwise close relationship. This was brought home to me by the discovery of his Veterans pin, a pin that was made available to veterans of the UK Forces just before he passed away.
Therefore it is great pride that I give to you, on the left, my Father's Veteran's pin for 17 years service, and on the right, my veteran's pin for 24 years service. Each pin is 1 inch tall and 0.75 inch wide.

My wife and I went out to dinner tonight in downtown Salem, and I had my camera along. This is one of my favorite alleys downtown.
Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility is an important maritime location situated on the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. With a rich history dating back several centuries, this facility has played a significant role in the region's maritime activities. In this historical account, we will explore the origins, development, and importance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility, providing a comprehensive overview of its evolution over time.
Origins and Early History:
The story of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility begins in the late 18th century when the River Tees emerged as a vital industrial waterway. The river provided an essential transport link for industries such as coal mining, iron and steel production, and shipbuilding. The natural sheltered area known as Paddy's Hole, located on the southern side of the river's entrance, became a favored spot for local fishermen and boat owners due to its calm waters and proximity to fishing grounds.
During the 19th century, Redcar witnessed significant growth as an important coastal town. The expansion of the local fishing industry prompted the need for a dedicated facility to store and maintain fishing boats. Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility was established in response to this demand. The exact date of its establishment is uncertain, but records suggest it was in operation by the mid-19th century.
Development and Growth:
In its early years, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility consisted of basic storage facilities and moorings for local fishing vessels. As the fishing industry flourished, the facility underwent several improvements and expansions. By the late 19th century, it had evolved into a well-equipped storage and maintenance facility, accommodating an increasing number of fishing boats.
During this period, the construction of the South Gare breakwater in the late 1860s provided further protection to Paddy's Hole from the turbulent North Sea. This development enhanced the facility's suitability for storing and maintaining boats, attracting more fishermen to utilize its services. The South Gare breakwater also facilitated the growth of other maritime activities, such as pleasure boating and recreational fishing, contributing to the facility's increasing importance.
World Wars and Post-War Era:
The two World Wars had a profound impact on Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. During World War I, the facility played a crucial role in supporting the war effort. It served as a base for several naval activities, including patrol vessels, mine clearance operations, and the training of naval personnel. Additionally, Paddy's Hole became a temporary home for fishing vessels requisitioned by the government for wartime purposes.
Similarly, during World War II, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility played a strategic role. The facility served as a base for coastal defense and anti-submarine operations. Its proximity to the North Sea made it an ideal location for monitoring and protecting the coast against potential threats. After the war, the facility reverted to its primary function of serving the local fishing community, contributing to the post-war economic recovery.
Modern Era and Recreational Use:
In the latter half of the 20th century, changes in the fishing industry and the decline of traditional fishing practices led to a shift in the role of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. With fewer fishing vessels requiring its services, the facility began to adapt to new market demands. It gradually transformed into a multipurpose facility catering to recreational boating, yachting, and watersports.
To meet the needs of the changing demographic, various amenities were added to the facility. These included boat ramps, mooring pontoons, storage sheds, and maintenance workshops. The facility became a hub for boating enthusiasts, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond.
In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and enhance the historical significance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. Conservation projects have been undertaken to maintain the original structures, while new developments have focused on creating a more inclusive and accessible space for the community. The facility continues to provide storage, maintenance, and launch services for a diverse range of watercraft, catering to both commercial and recreational users.
Conclusion:
The history of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility reflects the ever-changing dynamics of maritime activities along the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. From its humble beginnings as a local fishing boat storage facility to its modern-day role as a versatile boating hub, Paddy's Hole has witnessed and adapted to the shifting needs of the community.
Throughout its existence, the facility has played a pivotal role in supporting local industries, providing essential services during times of war, and fostering recreational boating and watersports. Today, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility stands as a testament to the region's maritime heritage, serving as a vibrant center for boating enthusiasts and a reminder of the area's enduring connection to the sea.
Do not be fooled by its appearance it is a mingling place ...
Minglehostels.com: "Mingle Hostel Chinatown Kuala Lumpur occupies the 100 year old heritage building, was formerly a social hub in the 1920s and 30s where people mingled for mahjong, drink and poem. After WWII, it became a public reading room for the local community.
Following the overall theme of Chinatown and deeply rooted stories of the building, the space is revamped by retaining the building original's character, fitted with the furniture sourced from the building itself or salvaged from the renovation debris. A hostel with the old meet new theme is thus born."
The human search for love and connection is a constant...Can we put it on hold during this pandemic?
Let's stick together ;-)
