He stood up and felt the air pop and whizz around him. Crimson watched from a safe distance... intrigued by the tranquillity on his face even as he stumbled and fell

The only time Dray will likely ever wear white thanks for the set Fifi 🌹 he looks 🔥in it!
Trundling through the lanes of Beamish Museum is this magnificently turned out pair of Shires, hauling a vintage Whitbread Brewery dray.
Sadly I have been unable to accurately date the dray, but its design and the presence of wooden wheels suggest that it may well be Victorian - or earlier!
This group were part of the museum's "Horses in Harness" event of June 2023.

The dray.
Its working life has long expired and today it is relegated to a corner in the paddock where it rests and it's main
use is perhaps that of an ornament.
Its metallic wheels are now covered in rust as it the other metal parts that adorn the old dray.
The once solid timber that formed its sturdy body and would have carried huge and heavy loads is now showing signs of decay.
Back in its day the dray would have played a key role in the transportation of many a varied load all of which contributed to life of our early pioneers who founded this district.
Rest easy old dray for you have served your time well.

The barn on Maria Island provides a look into the past as to the style of transportation and tools and other implements that were used in the pioneering past.

Roll out the barrel… Any main street in the 1940s would see buses and lorries heavily outnumbering cars, in contrast to the situation today. One of the most typical lorries to be seen would be the brewery dray.
Beverleys brewery was in Wakefield and following their purchase of John Baxter's Waterfoot brewery in 1952, Beverleys beers were delivered locally to pubs in Rochdale, Littleborough and Ashton.
Watneys purchased Beverley Brothers Ltd. in 1967 around the time the working life of this 1946 Leyland 121B Beaver, licence plate AHL 622, ended. Most of its restoration was carried out at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester, in the 1980s. Quite by coincidence, the lorry's original trailer was found in Yorkshire and remarkably most of its original signwriting survived.
Manchester's public road transport museum has a fascinating display of buses, coaches, trams and historic objects inside a 1930s bus garage.
Dray had a feeling so undeniably familiar through his haze. A voice and smell so familiar... a touch. If he opened his eyes his dream would shatter, he knew it and he wouldn't let it. He imagined it was Crimson that was guiding him, taking him to her home to sleep off his high... a smile crossed his lips. A dream was better than nothing.

I always knew one boy would be just right for her, and this is the one, no question <3
(Still having a lot of trouble with colours on my laptop, sorry!)
In his mind, Dray walks in a field of buttercups with the sun breaking through the leaves in a haze 🌼
In reality he’s laying on a filthy couch, breathing shallowly, looking dead to the world
.
I was going to mow the lawn this weekend but when I saw all the buttercups I couldn’t do it. Going for a meadow look this year now 🌼

A view from the Otago Central Rail Trail - a 150km cycle trail that runs from Clyde to Middlemarch in New Zealand, through some of the nicest scenery the South Island has to offer.
"Following the success of the 1860s Otago gold rushes, the Provincial Council was keen to boost economic progress by helping farmers and orchardists in Central Otago get their stock and produce to market. Existing roads were bone-shakingly rough and slow. But it took 42 years before New Zealand’s longest branch railway line reached its final destination at Cromwell in 1921. Construction workers used pick, shovel and wheelbarrow, with a bit of dynamite, often in extreme weather, to build culverts, viaducts and tunnels through rocky gorges. They also had to deal with economic depressions, conditions that were much harder than expected and, on top of that, a world war, so progress was slow.
"Over time, road transport eventually became more viable and the railway more uneconomic. The Cromwell-Clyde track was removed in 1980, making way for the construction of the Clyde Dam and flooding by Lake Dunstan. The track from Clyde to Middlemarch was ripped up in 1991 - its future role as the Otago Central Rail Trail would follow."
Leyland Beaver and Leyland Steer...perhaps a coincidence they have the same numerals on their license plates?
In the days before motorised transport the railways used horses and drays such as this to deliver parcels from the local station. This one was pictured at Haworth on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

I saw her seated inside having a conversation as I walked passed the store. Her intriguing look caused me to do a u-turn, enter, and ask if I could take a photo of her, knowing fully well that there wasn't enough light to carry it, as the sun had half-way set at this point (hence the underexposure).
She's wearing a red hat that particularly caught my attention.
A former member of the Death Watch, he escaped Mandalore when the Empire took control. He joined a guild and started operating as a bounty hunter to survive. Near the end of the Empire, the guild disintegrated and Draic with his associates started his own organization which has only continued to expand and grow more powerful. He's a mercenary, often contacted by both the Imperial remnants and the New Republic for jobs. He also commands the Voidshift, an Imperial Class Star Destroyer he captured.
