The largest allocation of single deckers operated by Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire's Preston base, the company operates 28 in various guises from their standard configuration to the recently transferred Gold-spec examples having been made surplus to requirements by Rock Ferry. All of the Alexander Dennis Enviro300s are integrals, fitted with the body's own chassis.
Repainting of the fleet is well underway with both Gold and standard examples having received Local colours; the allocation is constantly changing as the fleet is often swapped between the main bases between Chester, Gillmoss, Preston and Rock Ferry.
Local 27114, a long time Preston resident has since made the move over to Chester, allowing for Alexander Dennis Enviro400s to return back to Preston after periods of being on loan.

Marie-Louise Roosevelt Pierrepont (1889-1984).

Undated.
Marie-Louise Roosevelt Pierrepont, Countess Manvers, was the daughter and only child of Sir Frederick and Lady Jessie Butterfield, owners of Cliffe Castle, Keighley. The ‘Roosevelt’ part of her name came from her maternal grandmother, who was related to Theodore Roosevelt. Marie-Louise showed a talent for art from an early age and was enrolled by her father at the Julienne School of Art when the family moved to Paris in her teens. There she showed a particular aptitude for portraiture and her early portraits were exhibited at the Paris Salon and others at the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts.
In 1912 she returned to England and began to show her work at the Society of Women Artists, where she was elected a member. From her home at Cliffe Castle she travelled widely across Europe and North Africa, painting scenes she encountered on her travels. Her work was also exhibited at the Royal Academy and at the Grosvenor Gallery, London.
She was a prolific painter and worked with a range of media, including pencil, crayon, pastel, watercolours and oils. Although her subject repertoire was wide, Marie-Louise developed a reputation for her detailed interior and exterior building scenes, including those at Cliffe Castle, and later at Thoresby Hall where she also painted staff and local people from the nearby village. Thoresby was her home after she married Gervas Evelyn Pierrepont, the 6th Earl Manvers, and became the Countess Manvers. They had three children.
Thoresby Gallery was originally established in 1992 as a space in which to show the Pierrepont Collection.
El Museo Chicote, antes conocido como Bar Chicote o bar de Perico Chicote, es un local de la Gran Vía madrileña n.º 12, inaugurado en 1931 por Pedro Chicote, el barman del Hotel Ritz,1 como uno de los primeros locales de cocktail en la capital española. El "Museo Chicote", como tal, nació en 1940, cuando Perico decidió mostrar al público su colección de casi diez mil botellas de diferentes bebidas almacenadas en un sótano contiguo, cifra que según algunas fuentes alcanzó los 20.000 ejemplares, considerándose entonces la mejor del mundo en su modalidad, hasta el punto de que Aristóteles Onassis le ofreció al barman treinta millones de pesetas por ella.
El Bar Chicote se instaló en el edificio construido en 1914 por Eduardo Reynals a partir del diseño del arquitecto Luis Gutiérrez Soto.
A lo largo de su historia y ya desde sus comienzos, el establecimiento de Chicote ha convocado a los personajes famosos de cada época. A su barra se han acodado personajes de sangre azul como (Rainiero de Mónaco o la Princesa Soraya...), políticos de todas las tendencias (José Antonio Primo de Rivera y "La Pasionaria" entre ellos), escritores (con Ernest Hemingway y José Ortega y Gasset, a la cabeza de una lista interminable), o estrellas de cine clásico (Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Sofia Loren, Gregory Peck) y deportistas míticos como Alfredo Di Stéfano o Puskas. Más tarde también fue uno de los puntos de reunión de los consagrados de la llamada movida madrileña, al tiempo que en 1982, el alcalde de Madrid Enrique Tierno Galván inauguraba un nuevo y efímero Museo Chicote en el Paseo de Recoletos n.º 41. que pocos años después se volatilizó.6 En 2004 recibió un premio denominado MTV-Campari Recommneds al mejor bar de Europa.

Mercado local en Vietnam, un desorden de productos orgánicos colocados y distribuidos simétricamente en pasillos otorgando una explosión de color contrastado con el fondo oscuro del hormigón del suelo. Opté por un plano cenital colocando el drone de modo que los pasillos quedasen como líneas diagonales. Necesité acercarme, el drone trabaja con angular y solo así pude encerrar el plano y no sacar nada más que el mercado.
The Buca di Beppo in downtown San Diego. I really like neon lights, I need to start seeking it out, I especially like dated looking neon in desert locations. This doesn't quite meet those requirements, but it's a start. The new cars land at Disney's California Adventure should be nice too.
Ariel and Eric are deboxed, and are sitting in the rowboat.
I got the Ariel and Eric 'Kiss the Girl' playset yesterday (Tuesday October 23) from my local Disney Store. It came out in the UK about three weeks ago, and I have been anxiously waiting for it to arrive in the US since then. It is in some stores in the US, but not online in the US ShopDisney site yet. It costs $59.95 (twice as much as the previous Classic Disney Doll playsets that came out this year), and is in a huge box. It has Ariel and Eric in a rowboat, with fishes and Flounder spouting water around them. There is also a Sebastian figure, and two more outfits for Ariel (mermaid and pink). I show the set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed in various configurations. I put the set in front of the background formed by the inner box, and finally rebox the set.
Ariel is sporting her blue kingdom tour dress, and finally has her hair parted in the correct side of her head (on her left). She also has some heavily gelled bangs on her right side reminiscent of Snow Queen Elsa's crown of bangs.
Eric is in white shirt and blue pants, with black boots. He is remarkable in that he is the first Classic Prince doll to be fully articulated. He has the same body as Li Shang and Flynn Rider of the 2017 Disney Designer Collection limited edition doll sets. So he has a swivel jointed neck, and ball jointed elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. He can also sit without splaying his legs. As with most Prince dolls, he has a smaller head than his Princess, Ariel, which looks strange when they are side by side.
The boat can be separated from the base, consisting of the plastic water and fish. The oars can be separated from the boat. Sebastian can free stand, or can be inserted into peg at the bow of the boat.
This is a great set, and I think is worth the cost. The only problem is to find a place to put it, especially if it is out of the box.

The Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis), sometimes referred to as Western Yellow-legged Gull (to distinguish it from eastern populations of yellow-legged large white-headed gulls), is a large gull of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, which has only recently achieved wide recognition as a distinct species. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of either the Caspian Gull L. cachinnans, or more broadly as a subspecies of the Herring Gull L. argentatus. It is named after the German zoologist Karl Michahelles.
It is now generally accepted that the Yellow-legged Gull is a full species. The breeding range is centred around the Mediterranean Sea. In North Africa it is common in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and increasing in places. Recent breeding has occurred in Libya and Egypt. In the Middle East a few breed in Israel and Syria with larger numbers in Cyprus and Turkey. In Europe there are colonies all along the Mediterranean coast, and also on the Atlantic islands and coasts north to Brittany and west to the Azores. It also breeds on the west side of the Black Sea; here it overlaps with the Caspian Gull but there is a difference in habitat, with the Yellow-legged Gull preferring sea cliffs and Caspian Gull on flatter shores. In recent decades birds have spread north into central and western Europe. One to four pairs have attempted to breed in southern England since 1995 (sometimes hybrid pairs with Lesser Black-backed Gulls), though colonisation has been very slow.
Many birds remain in the same area all year round but others migrate to spend the winter in mild areas of western Europe or head south as far as Senegal, the Gambia and the Red Sea. (wikipedia)
The species is quite common along the Portuguese coast. There was a big evening roost of YLGs on the local beach near where we were staying this summer. A handful of Audouin's Gulls were also in amongst them.
