A short circular walk around Bickerstaffe Moss (half good tracks, half jungle) had the bonus of a fine display from the local lepidoptera community. A Gatekeeper (aka Hedge Brown) and a Red Admiral seen near Colliery Plantation and a Ringlet and Peacock seen by a pine copse close to the turf farm at Ferny Moss.
Badachro (Gaelic Bad a' Chrodha) is a remote fishing village a couple of miles south of Gairloch.
It is considered to have one of the best natural harbours in the United Kingdom and more importantly, considering it's size, it has it's own pub !!!
Ivatt Class 2, 41241 alongside Unrebuilt Bulleid West Country 34092 'City of Wells' at Haworth.
41241 was of course the first loco to run on the Worth Valley whilst 34092 spent her early career here before eventually being sold to the East Lancs Railway. What I didn't realise was that the K&WVR paid for the line in instalments ( interest free!) with the last payment being made in 1992, a quarter of a century since the line was re-opened.

Signs like this at the local (read: very close) Whole Foods have long made me shake my head in wonder. I guess it's just proof positive that we're a global economy when the next state over counts as local!
Looking up one of the deep channels in the mud and sand towards the chimney near Jenny Brown's Point. The chimney's origins are being investigated by the Morecambe Bay Partnership with CITiZAN (inter-tidal archaeology group) before more evidence gets washed away on the tide.

26 August 2019, Bra, Italy - Aicha Dalati syrian beekeeper in the Aleppo Governorate, and other beneficiaries of the joint FAO and Slow Food Project, visit Local store, where local organic food products are sold. Slow Food and the Food and Agrlculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are organizing a study tour this week in northwest Italy for a group of Syrian small-scale women farmers. The two organizations have teamed up to enhance the skills of small-scale women food producers from Syria, all with the aim of supporting crisis-affected communities to regain or boost their livelihoods and reviving the country's agriculture sector. Ten Syrian women will learn from farming communities in Piedmont and Liguria regions that produce and promote local organic and artisan foods marked by high quality and respect for traditions. They are expected to gain knowledge on all aspects of production, marketing and value chains of a range of products - including dairy, honey, oil, cereals, breads and vegetables - and to pass on this knowledge to other women farmers in their communities upon their return. They will also be included in the global Slow Food network of local farmers so that they can continue learning and sharing knowledge and experiences.

Lunch in a local cafe in Tokyo’s Ameyoko market. For once I did not take a picture of the food as the lighting was not up to much and I was far too tired anyway. The person in the background was the one who served me (she was the only waitress there anyway). She claimed to be Japanese but was certainly not. She had a very un-Japanese regular nose, an unhealthy gait like someone who has seen a lot of action down under (well, who am I to judge!?), absolutely refused to smile except most faintly when I was trying to get her to reveal her nationality! She was constantly on her iPhone even while taking orders (a group of 10 Indian tourists then appeared and she took the order while texting) and she had long nails on three fingers, with sparkling nail polish. Her demeanor was rather rough, like she was totally battle heartened, like someone who has got beaten around a lot in life and has taken a lot of BS. In fact she totally lacked the characteristic politeness, finesse and petite charm of the Japanese girls. No no Jaapaan jaapaan she said repeatedly whenever I asked and rushed off. Well, that is none of my business anyway, and if it was any consolation, the food here wasn' t too bad. (Tokyo, Japan, Apr/ May 2019)
The Custom House (or Teach an Chustaim in Irish) is a neoclassical 18th century building in Dublin, Ireland which houses the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. It is located on the north bank of the River Liffey, on Custom House Quay between Butt Bridge and Talbot Memorial Bridge.
A previous Custom House had been built in 1707 by engineer Thomas Burgh (1670–1730). However, by the late 18th century it was deemed unfit for purpose.
The building of a new Custom House for Dublin was the idea of John Beresford, who became first commissioner of revenue for Ireland in 1780. In 1781 he appointed James Gandon as architect, after Thomas Cooley, the original architect on the project, had died. This was Gandon's first large scale commission. The new Custom House was unpopular with the Dublin Corporation and some city merchants who complained that it moved the axis of the city, would leave little room for shipping, and it was being built on what at the time was a swamp. Purchase of land was delayed and proved exorbitant and the laying of foundations was disrupted by the High Sheriff and members of the Dublin Corporation with a mob of several thousand. However, Beresford was determined to complete the project and ignored the protests.
Construction started in 1781, and for his assistants Gandon chose Irish artists such as Meath stone-cutter Henry Darley, mason John Semple and carpenter Hugh Henry. Every available mason in Dublin was engaged in the work. When it was completed and opened for business on 7 November 1791, it had cost £200,000 to build – a considerable sum at the time. The four facades of the building are decorated with coats-of-arms and ornamental sculptures (by Edward Smyth) representing Ireland's rivers. Another artist, Henry Banks, was responsible for the statue on the dome and other statues.
