i ordered a fruit picker online for only USD2.00 just as an experiment as to the gadget and stuffs one can order virtually. i was glad and surprised that the order arrived within 2 weeks considering that it came all the way from china. all this trouble for only USD2. over 2 decades ago many business people were skeptical about virtual shopping and who'd think here we are now in 2021 doing most of our shopping online. this sudden surge of online business has doubled or even tripled the size and scope of most of these businesses such as amazon, lazada, shopee. i am also impressed with the mass manufacturing prowess of china. they have really gone a long way in establishing themselves as an industrial hub not only in asia but practically the whole world. amazing!

You view the Van Gogh exhibit from the inside of your car with the art projected 360 degrees around the room on all four walls.
This is due to the Covid-19 problems, thus people stay in their cars.
Among the orchards is an old, dilapidated fruit weighing and tally shed used by fruit pickers for generations....
A charming little colour booklet issued by the famous jam, jelly and fruit canners of Chivers from their Orchard Factory at Histon, near Cambridge. The booklet contains details of the company, the products and recipes that they can be used in. Many of the plates are reproductions of colour advertisments commissioned over the years by Chivers, several from well known artists and illustrators.
This illustration of idyllic raspberry pickers includes the note that 'only local lassies' are chosen and not those from 'undesirable localities'!

At 20.38hrs, the 1Z21 13.58 Parkandillak to Crewe return of a Pathfinder railtour passes Huntingford, near Charfield. I was fortunate to have been able to borrow a local Farmer's tall 'Fruitpicker's' steps to gain a bit of height. I'd say a pole would be much easier - though probably not here after 15 yrs of unchecked tree growth!

WOOMBYE PINEAPPLE PRODUCTION.
The secretary of the Woombye Fruit Growers' Association (Mr. E. M'Nall) stated to-day that with the approaching close of the summer production of pineapples, there was reason to be gratified with the results, which showed that pineapple growing was an Important industry for the Woombye district.
The summer crop output was estimated at 35,000 cases for the factories, yet up to the present the total had reached 38,000 cases, and from what was now coming forward the total would reach almost 40,000 cases.
That quantity did not include a number forwarded to the open markets for ready sale, for which it would be hard to give figures. The intermediate crop showed promise of being .much ahead of previous years, and would be ripening within the next three or four weeks.

Volvo B10M Van Hool Alizee TIL 7758 glowing in the afternoon sunshine in Brighton yesterday, 6th May 2013, It carries Rigbys legal lettering but no O disc and I think it is now used by the Hall Hunter Partnership to transport fruitpickers at their farms in Hampshire and West Sussex.

Opened Jul 1879 as Stanley Bridge Bible Christian, by 1884 known as Grunthal Bible Christian, Methodist after Union 1900, extensions foundation stone 3 Apr 1903 by Rev I Perry, re-opened 21 Jun 1903, enlarged 1915, kindergarten room 1922.
“The quiet little township of Stanley Bridge, which lies a short distance from the Grunthal Mine, has for many years boasted only an inn, a store, and post-office, although the traffic along the road over the bridge is very large. Some nine years ago the residents appealed to the Mount Lofty Bible Christian Circuit to conduct divine service on the Sabbath in a detached room provided for the purpose, and it was attended by a large number of those who worked on the mine, as well as the residents, until the collapse of the mine, when the service was given up for a short time, but resumed in a room belonging to Mr. Jno. Clarke, until that also was required for other purposes. For the last two or three years there has been no service, which being deemed a great privation Messrs J. W. Clarke & Son, assisted by Mr. Radford, of Bridgewater, obtained a piece of ground and erected thereon a neat and substantial stone building.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 6 Sep 1879]
“A special effort was made on .Easter Sunday and Monday, March 28 and 29, to reduce the debt on the Bible Christian Church recently erected at Stanley Bridge. On Sunday divine service was conducted, in the afternoon by Rev. J. Dingle, and in the evening by Mr. F. F. Knight. On Monday a picnic tea was provided in a beautiful spot near the Onkaparinga River, and was patronised by a large number of persons. In the evening a public meeting was held in the chapel.” [Advertiser 31 Mar 1880]
“The anniversary of the Bible Christian Chapel, Stanley Bridge, Grunthal, was held on October 5 and 6. . . Proceeds,
sufficient to pay circuit expenses, and reduce the debt £10.” [Christian Colonist 17 Oct 1884]
“The foundation stone of the additions to the Grunthal Methodist Church (which was (riven by Mr. Bom, of Hahndorf) was laid by the Rev. I. Perry on Friday. Although the weather was unfavourable, there was a fair attendance of residents and friends from other districts.” [Adelaide Observer 11 Apr 1903]
“The reopening services of the Grunthal Methodist Church . . . conducted by the Rev. H. J. Pope and Mr. T. Oliver. . . Miss J. Tucker acted as organist. A vote of thanks was passed to Miss Tucker for the assidous [sic] way in which she had carried out the duties of secretary to the building fund, and to those who assisted with donations and labour.” [Adelaide Observer 4 Jul 1903]
The honor roll was unveiled in the Methodist Church, Grunthal, on Sunday evening, April 2, by Mrs. Wasley, in the presence of a crowded congregation. A service of a special character was conducted by the minister (the Rev. W. T. Wiltshire). There are many young men in this district, but only' three have enlisted. Others will probably go at the close of the fruit season. The three names on the honor roll are A. L. Wasley, Andrew Korber, and H. R. Radbone.” [Mount Barker Courier 14 Apr 1916]
Fruit pickers harvest a watermelon patch built on a drained wetland on the edge of Corkscrew Swamp, Florida, USA.
The priory of Anzy-le-Duc was founded 876. When Hugues de Poitier, one of the founders, died here in the "odeur" of sanctity (930) the first pilgrims started to head for this place.
The church (used as a parish church today, dedicated to the Assumption), was erected 1180 - 1230, when great numbers of pilgrims met here. The layout of the church is similar to the (ruined) church of nearby Charlieu: a basilica with a transept and five apses.
During the Wars of Religion Huguenots destroyed the tomb of St. Hugh and in 1594 the church was set on fire. After the priory was dissolved in 1789 the church was sold and abandoned, before the villagers used it as a parish church in the early 19th century.
The church in Anzy-le-Duc is known for it´s richness of carvings, and so it is probably the finest example of romanesque art in the Southern Burgundy. The carvings are remarkable for their workmanship, though they may differ in quality. Six different masters (or workshops) can be found, differing in style - and in themes and designs. Í will resist to upload all photos I took.
