This is my photo for Week #7 (I don’t like taking photos of other people it doesn’t come easy)
This is our friendly local Butcher Mick Maginness "Mick The Meat" this is just a small one man shop and we always use him for our meat (no tough meat here!) Whenever you go he is always busy and have to stand outside sometimes to get served. When I asked him if I could take a photo he couldn’t wait to pose.

Found during a recent "night prowl." This place is rather nondescript by day. At night, however, it is transformed!

The Post Office Magazine was published for staff and the general public alike, between 1934 and 1966. From remote regions to the industrial heartland of the country, it showed the General Post Office (GPO) doing what it did best – serving the nation in times of need and in times of leisure; through new and expanding services such as Air Mail, to the more traditional services provided by cheerful, efficient, and ever-present postmen.
Boasting a monthly circulation of 180,000 by November 1938, the Post Office Magazine reached beyond the letter box and into the homes of the public that the GPO served.

It was a very pleasant day in the spring sunshine and a change after the Liverpool adventure. Today I was trying out my 28mm f2.8 D lens which only manually focuses on my Nikon D5300. Focusing can be a bit hit and miss however it is worth the effort.
Near Hakone Yumoto, the night's curtain rises as local shops offer a final serving of warmth and welcome to late strollers.

What started off as a quiet and narrow country lane leading trom the bus stop to the Kiyomizu-dera temple soon turns into a super busy (but still narrow) commercial street filled with cafes, restaurants and a large number of shops selling a wide variety of traditional Japanese goods. But what adds that 'Japanese' touch is the large sakura (cherry blossom) tree in the foreground which is unfortunately blooming only sparesely at the moment as it is just past the peak blooming season. Here you can see scores of Chinese (and Korean) tourists making their way to the shrine in droves. And there are those Japanese schoolgirls again- I spotted several groups of Japanese school girls out in force in several of Japan's famous tourist sites. And surprisinly, it was only groups of school girls I saw, never boys, except probably only once. (Kyoto, Japan, Apr/ May 2019)
With Belshotmuir diorama currently undergoing a total review and overhaul, I am taking full advantage of some of the excellent quality building kits available from Kingsway (kingswaymodels.co.uk).
Shown here is a side on view of the One Stop Shop kit, emphasising the PayPoint signage applied to the front of the store. A sign advertising the National Lottery can be seen at the far end.

Another look at the Khalsa College. We are on a highway in a puny tuk tuk and stopping is certainly not an option. So this is shot from the moving tuk tuk. Khalsa College was built as an educational institute during the British Raj in India when Sikh scholars thought about providing higher education to Sikhs and Punjabis within Punjab. The college's contribution towards the freedom history of India is significant as it has generated many famous freedom fighters, political leaders, armed forces generals, scientists, famous players-Olympians, actors, writers, journalists and scholars.

With a changing society lifestyles hundreds of pubs and Inns have closed down and the Craigfoot Inn at Milton of Campsie was no exception.
Luckily the building wasn't demolished when the Co-op came to the rescue with one of their policies of taking over old taverns and converting them to local stores. This one opened to the public in Sept 2015.
We had many a good night in the local boozer many moons ago!!

We are now well on our way to Chadigarh, and thanks to a table between our row and the rows opposite, there was more leg room. And we were lucky in that our row was the only one in the entire car which was facing the direction of travel. Despite being in an air con car, our car was pretty crowded, especially with a college grout returning to Mohali (near Chandigarh) from Amritsar. The train literally flew over the tracks in places, though it was difficult to make out the speed with fading light and from inside the air con car. But a large number of halts, at a number of important towns meant that despite the speed, the train kept stopping every half an hour or so. All in all, despite my passion for trains and the fact that I very rarely get to ride them, especially in India, it wasn't a very pleasant ride- too much crowd and too many halts. We did pull into Chandagarh bang on schedule though, halts notwithstanding. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
