This is a Scamp, a 7¼" gauge petrol electric loco finished to look similar to a Lister Auto Truck.
A petrol engine drives an 800W motor acting as a dynamo which feeds an identical motor to power both axles. With an engine throttle and an electronic speed controller it is huge fun to drive, very controllable and quite nippy.
Seen here in a friend's garden being driven by another friend, the editor of a well known UK narrow gauge railway magazine.

A visit to the National Trust owned Flatford Mill in Suffolk.
Flatford Mill is a Grade I listed watermill on the River Stour at Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. According to the date-stone the mill was built in 1733, but some of the structure may be earlier. Attached to the mill is a 17th-century miller's cottage which is also Grade I listed. The property is in Dedham Vale, a typically English rural landscape.
The mill was owned by the artist John Constable's father and is noted, along with its immediate surroundings as the location for many of Constable's works. It is referred to in the title of one of his most iconic paintings, Flatford Mill (Scene on a Navigable River), and mentioned in the title or is the subject of several others including: Flatford Mill from a lock on the river Stour; Flatford Mill from the lock (A water mill); The Lock. The Hay Wain, which features Willy Lott's Cottage, was painted from the front of the mill.
The mill is located downstream from Bridge Cottage which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council, a group that uses them as locations for arts, ecology and natural history based courses.
After the guided tour had ended, we walked a little bit beyond Flatford Lock.

This is all that is left of the medieval church of St Andrew in Worcester. It was demolished in 1949 after decline, disuse and decay. All that remains is this 15th century tower with its vaulted ceiling and fine series of 32 carved stone bosses.
The spire was created by local mason Nathaniel Wilkinson. It went up in the 1750s, to replace the smaller, wooden one destroyed by lightning in c.1730.
It is near a bank of the River Severn.
It is a Grade II* listed building.
Also known as: St Andrew's Tower COPENHAGEN STREET. Also known as: St Andrew's Church Tower ST ANDREW'S GARDENS. Church tower. C15 with spire rebuilt in 1751 by Nathaniel Wilkinson, a journey-man of Worcester. Limestone ashlar. 3-stage Perpendicular tower with slim, recessed, octagonal Gothick spire. Chamfered plinth. Diagonal off-set buttresses to first and second stages, those to first stage have engaged columnettes, with clasping pilasters to third stage. Pointed arches to east, north and south with Perpendicular moulding. 5-light pointed west window. First-stage band. To second stage a 2-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery to head; second stage band. Third stage has 2-light pointed belfry window. Spire has one level of 2-light, then single light lucarnes. Surmounted by Corinthian capital. INTERIOR: lierne-vault over lower stage, to the east the springers of the first bay of the arcades. To south-west angle a plank door in ogeed surround. HISTORICAL NOTE: the medieval, probably C12 church was demolished after war damage. It now stands in a public garden, opened 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Elizabeth II. The original top of the spire stands in the same garden. The spire is locally known as "The Glover's Needle" due to its shape and to Worcester's association with the glove-making industry. A significant streetscape feature, forming an important landmark. It forms part of the visual context for Worcester Cathedral (qv) from the River Severn, together with Worcester Bridge, Bridge Street (qv), Gascoyne House, Brown's Restaurant and Bond House, South Quay (qqv) and grouping with Merchant's House, Quay Street (qv).

Spire of Saint Andrew's Church, Worcester - Heritage Gateway
The Glover's Needle (or St Andrews Spire) is a spire-carrying tower in the city of Worcester, England.
The tower is a prominent landmark of the city, from road, rail, or the River Severn, and can be seen for miles around. It is located in St Andrews Gardens close to Worcester College of Technology. The spire used to crown the church of St Andrew but this was demolished in the late 1940s. The Glover's Needle is seated on Deansway Road, Worcester Cathedral being very close to the south and All Saints Church to the north. On the western side of the spire the pedestrian can descend into gardens that lead onto the River Severn. Across the road from the Glover's Needle is a "House of Fraser" shop which stands on the site of the old graveyard of St Andrews. At night the spire is illuminated (but not the tower below) and a blue glow is projected from inside one of the windows. The blue represents St Andrew, the colour of the Scottish flag. The blue glow and night lighting were paid for by the Rotary Club of Worcester Severn, to commemorate the millennium in 2000.
In the 15th century, Saxons built a church (called St. Andrews Church) with a tall spire but this was destroyed in a great storm of 1733. Shortly after this disaster, the spire was rebuilt. It was constructed by using the ingenious method of kite flying to carry up the stones. Worcester people took the new masterpiece to their hearts and named it the 'Glover's Needle'. This name came from the industrial glove making that was executed in Worcester. The entire structure measures approximately 245 feet. It is the tallest spire in the country to have such a narrow angle of taper. In the 1920s the slum housing which crowded round the church was demolished. The congregation of the church was thus reduced by a large degree. The church fell into decay, had an overgrown churchyard, few parishioners and a tiny parish of five acres. In the 1940s, the council accepted the Bishop of Worcester's offer of the church. They decided to demolish the church and create a garden of remembrance to replace it. However the council decided to leave the tower and spire, freestanding. Thus St Andrew's church was demolished in 1949.
As a millennium project, a clock was installed in the tower and now the hours are struck on the council bell. A recently reinstated custom is to have the council bell strike from 18:45 to 18:50 before a full meeting of the council. In the early 2000s a fence was put around the base of the spire. A few years ago, the RSPB has taken the Glover's Needle into their own hands and the actual spire is now used for special birds of prey for roosting. Live web cams have been installed in the tower.
The Glover's Needle formerly housed a set of five bells.[citation needed] These were hung full circle for proper English style change ringing. In 1870, four of the bells were sold but the tenor (heaviest bell) was retained in the old bell frame. This bell weighs 20 CWT — 1 ton. This is the so-called council bell mentioned above. It is unlikely that the Glover's Needle could sustain a ring of bells today as there is no church to buttress the swaying tower.

The Grade I Listed Roman Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist, Unthank Road, Norwich, Norfolk.
The cathedral was constructed between 1882 and 1910 to designs by George Gilbert Scott Jr. as a parish church dedicated to John the Baptist, on the site of the Norwich City Gaol. The funds for its construction were provided by Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk. He funded it as a generous gift to the Catholics of Norwich as a sign of thanksgiving for his first marriage to Lady Flora Abney-Hastings.
In 1976, it was consecrated as the cathedral church for the newly erected Diocese of East Anglia and the seat of the Bishop of East Anglia. In 2014, for the first time since 1558, a Pontifical High Mass was celebrated in this episcopal see's cathedral.
It is one of two cathedrals in the city of Norwich, the other being the Church of England Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, completed in the Norman style in 1145. It is the second largest Roman Catholic cathedral in England.
Just off the south aisle of the cathedral is the Duckett Library. It was named after Canon Richard Duckett who was rector of the church from 1876 to 1910. It was opened on 22 February 2012. People need to become a member of the library to join, and that membership is available to all the cathedral's congregation. It has 3,000 religious publications and is staffed by volunteers.
Also, within the cathedral ground is the Narthex. It opened in March 2010 and is the cathedral's visitor centre. It comprises an Education and Interpretation Gallery, a shop, a refectory with outdoor patio, a function hall, licensed bar and community garden.
The cathedral's parish also covers Holy Apostles Church, West Earlham, in a suburb of Norwich and it also offers a Sunday evening Mass at St Mark's, the Church of England parish church of Lakenham.

Rock Tombs;
Six rock tombs on the Dalyan river (4th - 2nd century BC), which are Dalyan's prime sight
The façades of the rock tombs resemble the fronts of Hellenistic temples with two Ionian pillars, a triangular pediment, an architrave with toothed friezes, and acroterions shaped like palm leaves.
The Kaunos city walls
The spectacular Kaunos city walls were erected during the reign of Mausolos in the 4th century BC. They are extraproportional in relation to the size of Kaunos and its population, presumably because the satrap had high expectations of the city's future as a marine and commercial port. The city walls start west of the inner port and run along the hills N and NW of the city, to the top of the steep cliff opposite Dalyan centre. There is a walking track along the wall, starting at the Çandır water station. The regularly-shaped rectangular blocks and the way the blocks have been positioned give a fine impression of Hellenistic building techniques. Parts of the wall are well-kept, other parts have been taken down and rebuilt.

Description
The property within boundaries of District of Koycegiz is located in the face of Dalyan City and on the right shores of Dalyan Stream (Calbis) which connect Koycegiz Lake to Mediterranean. It was the capital of the ‘Kaunos Region’ between the Caria and Lycia until the beginning of the 4th BC.
The existence of Kaunos had known by the scholars but its location was a mystery until English archaeologist Hoskyn discovered it in 1842. Swedish archaeologist P. Roos defined the independent state boundaries of Kaunos as follows: “Starting from the Fethiye Bay at the north and Ancient City of Krya at the north of the bay; extending till Tlos at the 35 km east of Fethiye, Idyma at Gokova Bay at the west and Çamkoy located in the west of Urla which is little forward to north.” In today’s context, the coastal area starting from the south plains of Mugla and extending till the mountains between Mugla and Antalya was under the sovereignty of Kaunos. Kaunos has kept this borders until the 4th century BC but then lost its statue of sovereign state after the Persian invasion. It was one of two cities resisting against Persian invasion (other is Xanthos) such that they paid high taxes to prevailing states many times in order to keep their independency as a port city.
Kaunos was mentioned as Ksibde in Lycian scripts, while as Kbid in the scripts of other surrounding cities. Life style and language of Kaunos people share similarities with Carian people except five letters in their alphabet are not seen in latter which makes Kaunos language is unique to them. Heredot reveals in this respect that “There is Carian influence in their language or their influence in Carian language. This is an issue which I couldn’t clarify.” In fact, epigraphic materials in Carian language are found mostly in Kaunos today. Kaunosian could not be understood until very recently just because Carian language was not decoded. However, by virtue of a stela written in Greek and Carian, it has been possible to unravel Carian language and a little of Kaunosian due to Greek language had already been known.
Kaunos was an important sea port city with two ports; one is in the south at the southeast of Küçük Kale (Small Castle) and the inner port at its northwest, the present Sülüklü Göl (the Lake of the Leeches). The southern port was used from the foundation of the city till roughly the end of the Hellenistic era, after which it became inaccessible due to its drying out. The latter was used till the late days of Kaunos, but due to the silting of the delta and the ports, Kaunos had by then lost its important function as a trade port and started becoming poor. After Caria had been captured by Turkish tribes and the serious malaria epidemic of the 15th century AD, Kaunos was completely abandoned.
The city was constructed on terraces; significant religious structures like Baselius Kaunios Temple, Apollon Sanctuary and Demeter Sacred Rocks on one side and Bath, Theatre and other structures including Palaestra on a large terrace which is called Upper City on the other. The monumental terrace on which the Upper City situated connects Baliklar Mountain with the Acropolis by extending the city into Mediterranean like a tongue and naturally creating a second harbour basin in the east.
In many places in the ancient city, it has been found stone cutlery and arrowheads from Palaeolithic era. The finding and remains in Kaunos reveal the prosperity of the city as a great power of its time and that it was a sovereign state which minted on its behalf. The coins printed in this region especially in the first half of the 5th century BC are of great importance since a winged figure is displayed on the front side while pyramidal formed monoliths on the back. Besides, letters of K and B found on the coins are important due to they are the first two letters of the first name of Kaunos, Kbid.
The oldest find at the Kaunos archaeological site is the neck of a Protogeometric amphora dating back to the 9th century BC, or even earlier. A statue found at the western gate of the city walls, pieces of imported Attic ceramics and the South – Southeast oriented city walls show habitation in the 6th century BC. Although none of the architectural finds at Kaunos itself dates back to earlier than the 4th century BC, history of Kaunos is believed much earlier than that.
Because of the paleogeographic formation of Dalyan Delta and the silting of the former Bay of Dalyan (from approx. 200 BC onwards), Kaunos is now located about 8 km from the coast.

BIOGRAFIA
LUIGI TEXIDOR
El rey del porro
Por Manny González
manny@comoenla.com
Luis Guillermo Texidor Ortiz es su nombre. Tiene 71 años, 14 hijos, 24 nietos y 5 bisnietos. Mejor conocido como Luigi, fue uno de los primeros salseros en los años 60 que matizó sus versos con frases jocosas, ocurrentes y divertidas, como en el tema Ñáñara Caí, en el que vacila con “la vaca que chocó con Pacheco”.
Natural del pueblo de Santa Isabel, Luigi nació el 20 de enero de 1935 en la Colonia Florida, una de las comunidades de obreros agregados al viejo Central Aguirre, cerca del municipio de Salinas. Descendiente de una familia de trabajadores de la caña, tuvo cinco hermanos que nunca conoció, ya que murieron de niños debido a las graves enfermedades que azotaron a Puerto Rico en los años 20 y 30.
En la mente del cantante, todavía aparecen las imágenes de su madre, quien despertaba todas las mañanas a las 4:00 en punto a freír los domplines (una variante de las arepas) que luego llevaría a los trabajadores a la hora del almuerzo, acompañados de unas suculentas habichuelas y bacalao guisado, y los conflictos de clases y divisiones étnicas que marcaron los primeros años de su vida. Ese espacio social de trabajo rudo y extrema pobreza aparecen dibujados en la plena Santa Isabel, escrita para Luigi Texidor por el compositor Luis Guillermo Suárez.
La Colonia Florida era una comunidad pequeña, sin energía eléctrica y sin otra diversión que el encuentro habitual entre las familias obreras durante las noches para distraerse en una fiesta musical al ritmo de la bomba y la plena.
“Me críe viendo a mis familiares bailar y a mi padre tocar pandereta, que es quien luego me enseñó a tocar. En casa no conocí cantantes, salvo lo que hacía mi papá, que era un músico muy hábil. Creó que de él lo heredé”, afirma el cantante, quien asegura que de niño gustaba de hacer ruido tocando sobre unas latas de galletas. Esa niñez le produjo un carácter muy fuerte y el que reconoce, por lo que siempre prefiere estar de buen genio y bromeando.
“Quedé huérfano de padre y madre temprano. No tenía más familia porque mis hermanos ya habían muerto, así que decidí irme al ejército luego de que el Servicio Militar Obligatorio me reclutó”, revive. “Decidí irme porque me habían dicho que si quería estudiar ésa era la mejor oportunidad”.
Luigi ingresó en el ejército de Estados Unidos el 14 de diciembre de 1954, durante la guerra de Corea, y aunque nunca participó en el conflicto bélico, realizó su entrenamiento en Fort Dix, Nueva Jersey, hasta que lo trasladaron a Alemania, donde durante su estancia tuvo el placer de conocer al “Rey del Rock”, Elvis Presley. En esos años, se dedicó a boxear y a jugar béisbol, y sólo pensaba en regresar a su querida isla para concluir su escuela superior.
De regreso, en 1956, a los 20 años de edad, concluyó esos estudios e ingresó en la Facultad de Pedagogía (antigua escuela normal) de la Universidad Católica de Ponce, para formarse como maestro de escuela elemental especializado en la instrucción del idioma inglés.
Aparte, Luigi participó como percusionista en varios grupos hasta que se integró a la Orquesta Hispana de Juana Díaz donde, al mismo tiempo que tocaba las tumbadoras, tuvo la oportunidad de cantar por primera vez. Pero mientras que por el día trabajaba como dependiente en una tienda de zapatos en Santa Isabel, la pasión que despertó en él el canto lo llevó a aceptar la invitación que le hizo el músico Chago Martínez para que formara parte del grupo Antonetti y su Combo, donde permaneció varios años, interpretando un repertorio variado que incluía las melodías más destacadas en la programación radial del país.
El primer momento importante en su carrera se produjo en 1963, cuando ingresó a la orquesta del veterano músico don Quique Lucca, La Sonora Ponceña. “Un día”, recuerda Luigi, “cuando trabajaba con Chago Martínez, unos compañeros me dijeron que fuera a probar suerte con la (Sonora) Ponceña porque Papo (Lucca) me quería escuchar. Yo ya conocía a don Quique y a muchos integrantes de la orquesta, y sé que de ellos tuvo que haber venido la recomendación. Fui a la cita con Papo y me dio unos números que ellos tocaban en una emisora en Ponce, pidiéndome que me los aprendiera antes de hacer nuestro primer ensayo. Eran 16 canciones; me las aprendí, y desde ese momento me convertí en un cantante completo”.
Ingresando en la Sonora Ponceña, Luigi originalmente compartió tarima con el vocalista Papo León, pero cuando éste abandonó la agrupación en 1966 para irse a cantar con la Orquesta Panamericana, Luigi se quedó solo como vocalista del grupo hasta 1968.
“Durante mis primeros años con la Ponceña”, dice, “cantaba los boleros de Vicentico Valdés y otros más de moda, además de temas bailables”. Pero en 1965, su voz comenzó a darse a conocer en la radio tras la grabación de su primer disco de 78 rpm, donde interpretó dos temas, uno de ellos el bolero Perdóname.
El segundo fue en el año 1969, cuando participó en el primer elepé de la Sonora Ponceña, un proyecto para el sello Inca, producido por el pianista Larry Harlow que, bajo el título de Hacheros pa’ un palo, lo encontró cantando varios de los temas junto a Humberto “Tito” Gómez.
Con la aparición del álbum Conquista musical (1976), Luigi se convirtió, sin discusión, en la voz más prodigiosa de la Sonora Ponceña, logrando los éxitos de Ñáñara Caí, Bomba Carambomba, La clave y El pío pío. Un año más tarde, repitió la misma hazaña con El gigante del sur, dejando su huella sonora en los temas Boranda, Noche como boca ’e lobo y Omelé.
Tras una extensa y profusa jornada musical, Luigi abandonó la orquesta de don Quique y Papo Lucca tras confrontar problemas con Yolandita Rivera (quien cantaba también en la Ponceña), situación que el artista cataloga como “un mal entendido que gracias a Dios está resuelto, porque hoy somos los mejores amigos, como hermanos”.
De todos los temas que ha interpretado, escoger el que más le gusta es para él bastante difícil, aunque siempre le fascinó Fuego en el 23, con la Ponceña, ya que fue una cosa escandalosa. También le gusta Pío pío y un tema que grabó con Bobby Valentin, titulado Moreno soy, un número que le da mucha inventiva porque la letra se ajusta perfectamente a su color.
A través de los años, aparte de la Sonora Ponceña y de Bobby Valentín, Luigi ha grabado con las populares orquestas de Perico Ortiz y Don Perignon; y durante la época de La Fania, perteneció a esa compañía, a la que dejó cuando se dedicaron a promover solamente a ciertos artistas como Celia Cruz y Héctor Lavoe, olvidándose de los demás.
A su edad, a Luigi sólo le queda un deseo: “Hacer una grabación más en plenitud de mis condiciones. Una grabación que quede para la historia, y me gustaría firmar con una disquera que promocione ese trabajo, porque ya yo no quiero grabar solo por grabar”.
Con su historial y sus condiciones, sólo le deseamos a Luis Guillermo Texidor Ortiz… ¡que Dios se lo conceda!
A rainy day visit to the Holyhead Maritime Museum.
The museum is housed in an old lifeboat station that they have had since 1998.
The Holyhead Maritime Museum is a maritime museum located in Holyhead, North Wales.
Housed in what is claimed to be the oldest Lifeboat station in Wales (built c. 1858), it houses a number of collections.
The lifeboat station opened in 1858 and the first lifeboat was unnamed, launching 18 times, saving 128 persons. Replaced by the Prince of Wales, she launched 38 times and rescued 128 persons. In 1875, Member of Parliament Joshua Fielden and his brothers donated the Thomas Fielden, named after their father, which necessitated extending the house. In 1890, a second large boat was obtained, for which the house was extended to enable beach based landing from a horse-drawn carriage.
After local maritime exhibitions were held in 1982 and 1983 elsewhere, a trustees group was formed on 24 September 1984. The trustees obtained a nine-year lease on the redundant St Elbods church from the Church in Wales, with the museum opened officially by the Duke of Westminster in March 1986.
On expiration of the lease, and after failing to agree a lease within a new development, Stena Line offered the museum a peppercorn rent on the renovated Lifeboat house at Newry Beach. Deciding to improve the building through the construction of new visitor facilities, after a successful bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a renegotiation of the lease to 99 years, the museum reopened on its current site in 1998.
The museum today tells the maritime history of Holyhead and Anglesey, from earliest days to the modern ferries to Ireland. It features an interactive combination of historical artifacts, models and sensory exhibitions. All of its part-time volunteers have extensive maritime and local knowledge. Accessible to wheelchairs, the museum has its own cafe, the Harbour Front Bistro.
The Holyhead at War exhibition is located in an air raid shelter located alongside the Maritime Museum.

For some reason this list made my One True Love and me laugh really hard tonight, so I took a photo of it.
Could be the wine.

The Golden Grads graduated from HSU between 1967 and 1970 and majored in Zoology, Biology, Fisheries, Oceanography, Sociology, and Wildlife Management & Conservation. They all lived in Nelson Hall, which was then a residence option for male students. They frequented places like The Keg, College Cove, and the Big Four and were members of the Boot and Blisters Club for hikers. They started getting together in the summer twelve years ago and meet at a different group member's hometown location each year. This is their second trip to Humboldt, and as you could see today, they had a tremendous amount of fun and formed great friendships while at HSU.
