One of the many household chores that Floydd really seems to enjoy is laundry.
He likes everything about it! He likes to jump into the different piles of clothes while I am sorting them into different loads. He thinks that jumping into the folding mesh basket is very entertaining, and even likes it when I carry him down the steps bundled up in it with the next load on it's way to the basement.
. The sound of the dryer door opening, means that he'll be right there to jump inside and nestle in the warm , clean clothes and swat at my hand every time I reach in to take the next item out to fold. And of course, when I extract him from the dryer, he is only too happy to lay on top of any and all folded piles of clothes. No matter how you cut it, I'm going to ALWAYS have cat hair on my clothing!
I'm off to the Flower Show tomorrow, so I'll catch up with everyone Wed. Have a great day everyone!
This is a boat loader erected in 1922 in Lessines (Belgium) and used until 1984 when it was permanently shut down. It was used to load porphyry in ships. The porphyry crushes, transported by railcars from the Lessines quarry sites using a private railway, reached the structure on a conveyor belt and were taken to silos for sorting. They were then dumped directly into the holds of the barges, moored to the side of the building.
The 8 silos had a capacity of 35 tonnes each. Their size made it possible to prepare crushed mixtures of several dimensions. This system made it possible to load eight boats per day, where it had previously taken eight men and no less than seven hours to fill, with the wheelbarrow, a single barge of 280 tons.
Going for an easy lo tonight. I used a template and pretty much just plunked everything in. While I am totally excited about all I (we've) accomplished I have never done this much scrapping and thinking of scrapping before and I am tired! (But hooked for sure -I'll be back in May!!)
Template was a freebie by Kelly Mize over at Designer Digitals. The paper is by Michelle Martin at Designer Digitals, Just Linen No. 7 pack.

I make no apologies whatsoever for currently milking every last bit that I can out of this spot on the Rylstone Branch, and so far, I've ended up with three very different images in terms of lighting, weather, and now, train!
There's a certain comical aspect in seeing a 3,200hp Type 5 locomotive hauling a single wagon behind it, but this was the case on Saturday 5th June 2021, when GBRf 66757 'West Somerset Railway' worked the 4D75 17:07 Rylstone - Doncaster Down Decoy Yard. I don't know the exact reason as to why the loco had the one wagon in tow, but at a guess, it could be that the wagon was being returned to Doncaster for repair or attention of some kind.
I got this shot by the skin of my teeth. Trains out of Swinden Quarry do have a tendency to leave slightly earlier than the booked time. I'd arrived here with what I thought was an hour to spare, but I had barely got out of the car and set my camera up before the 66 appeared, running a full 58 minutes early! It was, however, subsequently made to wait at Skipton for its booked departure time.
2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th Anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs, depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last few years.
The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' is available to buy now. Click on this link to order your copy:

Well Alice, you asked for a family tree - and boy have you got one! LOL This is the first five generations above me. I love tracing my family tree - not so much for the numbers and how far I can go back (though FYI I have over 2000 on there going back to 1537), I love figuring out their stories. I have blogged some of them here: lookingbackhf.blogspot.co.uk/ Recently I have spent a lot of my time chronicling my gt gt grandfather's life, he has a real rags to riches story (sadly the riches didn't last much beyond him!). Thanks for reading this far!!!
October 2016 Hurricane Matthew: I treasured Haiti, the vibrancy of its streets and its people, and how the country was working to recover from its previous catastophe, the earthquake of 2010. I now feel for them at this time. If you are going to use any of my images on your blogs, reports, publications etc. please consider giving a donation to help the country and its people. My preferred charity is Medicins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders: www.msf.org.uk or www.msf.ch or other national sites
Punjab State in India is known as the 'The Granery of India' or 'The Bread Basket of India' as the region is used for extensive wheat farming. Bagged wheat for shipment to one of the strategic national stores is moved by rail and the task of transferring the produce is very manual. Recorded at Malerkotla, individual bags were being moved from one of the numerous road trucks to the BCNA type railway wagons [vans].
Working in temperatures in the upper 30sC, it takes approximately 200 men, working in teams of six just over 8 hours to load a standard length train of 52 vans, the sacks being stacked to the roof.

A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!
Yesterday (17/7/12) Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Constabulary escorted one of the largest abnormal loads to be moved on the region’s roads for many years.
The load, an electricity transformer, was being moved from Ellesmere Port to Rochdale on a specialist vehicle. The total weight of the vehicle and load was almost 450 tonnes.
Cheshire Constabulary escorted the vehicle to the Force border where Greater Manchester Police took over the duty.
The two forces, local authorities, Network Rail, and the Highways Agency were involved in detailed planning of the operation to ensure that the vehicle reached its destination safely and caused as little disruption to normal traffic as possible.
The Greater Manchester leg of the journey began at 8pm and concluded in the early hours of the morning.
Compare with this image of a 1950s abnormal load escort from the archives of our Force Museum.

After arriving at SRI the 765 takes on a fresh load of coal that will take the crews well into the night before finally being able to rest for a few days before the event. This was the beginning of a amazing week but a very long and sleepless week.
