XH558 was the first Vulcan B.Mk2 to be delivered to the RAF, and she is now the oldest complete Vulcan in the world.XH558 was also the last Vulcan to leave RAF service, flying on from 1986 to 1993 as the single RAF Display Vulcan, a career of 33 years. Her final flight was on 23rd March 1993 to Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire, having been sold off by the Ministry of Defence to C Walton Ltd, a family firm who purchased and maintained her, with the thought that one day, she might be returned to flight. In 1997, a small team headed by Dr Robert Pleming started to put together an audacious plan to return her to flight.
14 years after its last flight & with over £7 million spent, Vulcan XH558 roared into the air again on Thursday 18th October 2007.
Starbucks coffee display. I think I had my sketchbook on my lap AND at an angle, hence the bizarre orientation of main axes!

My 2022 Christmas Lights Display. For the full lights video, go to the following link:
Believe it or not, all these lights run off only four main outlets each connected to (nearly) synchronised timers- one in the garage, one outside along the right side of the house, and two inside!
The artificial snow was generated by a Rave AF-1216 Snow Machine.

Vaxfacts: The flags on the masts are the Australian Red Ensign, and a Seasons Greetings Flag. The Australian Red Ensign is used today primarily for Australian-registered civil shipping. Prior to the Australian Flags Act 1953, the Red Ensign was reserved and used as a civil flag by state and local governments, private institutions, and private citizens- the Blue Ensign was reserved for use by the Australian Commonweath Government, the Australian Military, and the Australian Olympic Team, until it was officially declared the Australian National Flag in 1954 by the Flags Act 1953.
The iconic poppy sculpture Weeping Window is currently on display at Carlisle Castle.
The dramatic work, by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper, will be in the city until July 8 2018, as part of the final year of the 14-18 NOW UK tour of the poppies.
Thousands of ceramic poppies cascade from the top of the castle's keep. This sea of red arcs over the inner ward wall and flows down into the outer ward of the castle complex.
Carlisle is one of just four venues to host the installation during 2018.
Weeping Window is one of two sculptures from the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation, originally displayed at the Tower of London in 2014. That original artwork was made up of 888,246 poppies, one to commemorate every British or Colonial life lost at the front during the First World War.
The presentation by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, gives people across the UK the chance to experience the impact of the ceramic poppy sculptures in a range of places that had particularly strong connections to the First World War.
Having been the headquarters of the Border Regiment, the castle makes a fitting location. 23,000 recruits passed through the castle during the First World War, with battles claiming 7,000 lives. The regiment was honoured with five Victoria Crosses.
The sculptures have already been displayed in 15 locations since the tour started in 2015 and viewed by more than 3.75 million people to date. At the end of the tour they will become part of the Imperial War Museums’ collection.
Andrea Selley, Historic Properties Director of English Heritage North, said: “The installation has been a true labour of love and an insight into the intricacies of building such a unique sculpture.
“The historical legacy of the castle is such that this is the perfect location especially in the last year of the Poppies tour and we look forward to welcoming visitors to see what is an extraordinary work of art, within an extraordinary location.”
Jenny Waldman, Director of 14-18 NOW, said: “The poppies have captivated millions of people across the UK, and we are delighted to present Weeping Window at Carlisle Castle as part of the ongoing tour. We are so grateful to artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper for these two enormously powerful artworks of national significance that continue to inspire all who see them.”
Together, the sculptures Wave and Weeping Window are made of more than 11,000 poppies. Poppies: Weeping Window by artist Paul Cummins, artist & Tom Piper, designer at Carlisle Castle

Not as unusual as sighting a seed display at the corner liquor store, but as this is not a large Walgreens location, it's still noteworthy. I think there will be more stores in this area carrying seeds. Berkeley has always been a big gardening town (it has 5 nurseries that I know of) but the nationwide growth of interest in victory gardens makes it smart to cater to here.
It's always tea time: LEGO® display at Tūranga, Saturday 11 January to Sunday 9 February
On display at Tūranga will be an outstanding LEGO build measuring over 1 metre high and nearly 2 metres wide. The model was created by Wendy Graham and Centuri Chan (of Knee Deep in Bricks) for the Christchurch Brick Show in July 2024. The project was inspired by ‘A Mad Tea-Party’ perhaps one of the most memorable chapters from Lewis Caroll’s 1865 children’s book ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’. It took approximately 300 hours to build and is made from an estimated 82,000 LEGO® bricks!
Look for this amazing masterpiece on Hapori | Community, Level 1. It can be viewed during library hours from Saturday 11 January to Sunday 9 February 2025.
