Something of a vanishing breed, at least in this locality, the humble milk float has become a far less common sight on the streets of Ipswich. The Co-op was one of the main milk providers for decades but they pulled out of the daily delivery service a few years ago. When I was young there were several competing dairies. We used to get our milk from L V Cason, who had a base in Heath Lane; when they ceased trading I think we switched to Seamans and then to the Co-op. I think "milk&more" may now be the only provider of this traditional delivery service in Ipswich, but even then it's only provided on three days each week rather than the daily service of yore. I think this vehicle may have started life with the local Co-op.

Floater is a heavily layer painting that slowly grew over the course of 13 years. You can see the magnification of light around its edges. The central image might appear a bit blurry due to the paint layers casting shadows on to the lower layers.
Captured in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside on 23rd March 2010. It's everyday stuff, but we love it. :-)

East Float
The photographs today include photographs of East Float including some from short jetties along Tower Road.
East Float dock, as I explained yesterday, extends inland from Tower Road towards West Float dock.
Beside East Float, on Tower Road, the photos show the Central Hydraulic Tower and its door. This tower is a 110-foot high, derelict pumping station and hydraulic accumulator that provided hydraulic power for the docks at Birkenhead. Completed 1863. Bombed during WWII, it was repaired but eventually closed. The tower is now being restored.
One of the photos shows the wreck of a ship close to the hydraulic tower. The wreck of the RV Sarsia is partially submerged and derelict in the East Float dock. It seems that the boat was built in Devon in 1953. She was a Marine Biological Association’s survey/research vessel in the 1960s, was sold in 1981 and was taken to West Africa and used there as an oil survey boat until 1986 when it returned back to the UK. She has been left here in the docks ever since not long after that.
Finally today, some of the photos show the new homes being built on the Dock Road side of East Float. I will be posting some more photos of that new-build tomorrow.
We had seen Beaches pool floats last time we were here, but didn't see any this time until just now, the very minute we were heading to the van to take us to the airport.
Cheerilee + Soda Float

They don't sell A+W here in England, Don’t worry I've found a local stockist Soda Float satisfies my sensual urges if they sell out!! Lol
Wait what? You "sit" when you read? Is that normal?

“An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness” ―Kay Redfield Jamison, 1995
“We all build internal sea walls to keep at bay the sadnesses of life and the often overwhelming forces within our minds. In whatever way we do this—through love, work, family, faith, friends, denial, alcohol, drugs, or medication—we build these walls, stone by stone, over a lifetime. One of the most difficult problems is to construct these barriers of such a height and strength that one has a true harbor, a sanctuary away from crippling turmoil and pain, but yet low enough, and permeable enough, to let in fresh seawater that will fend off the inevitable inclination toward brackishness.”
Good evening Flickrers!
As per usual, I have been poor at uploading. I haven't had much impetus to get up and take photos thanks to the weather!
Anyway, hope you like it!

Picture of new fuel tank air vent and float gauge connection. this is just behind the cabin door way.
It just floated into my mind.
I've always been fascinated by symbiotic lifeforms and sea life, so why not paint both? The main idea in this piece is the relationship between them. The anemone/slug creature offers protection and nourishment while the crustacean/insect one provides mobility and a bioluminescence that helps to attract prey.
It's been so long since my last submission that I should be ashamed of myself, but I can assure you that just because I haven't been posting it doesn't mean that I haven't been practicing! I still have a long way to go but at least I feel that I'm making progress. So if I may ask you, please do leave me a comment if you feel like doing so. Any critique, comment or random thought is already a huge help to me!
that's all for now! See you guys later!
The infamous Homecoming, 1968 float from the other side. "Grayson-Field-Dickinson" refers to the three dorms in the Orchard Hill quad that worked together on the float. A friend of mine asked if I had a view from the other side that showed a spelling error and yes, you can see it. I won't mention any names to protect the (not so) innocent.
