Hestair 'Hope' Wintertime Series, Code SJ811
999 pieces, used and complete
483 x 711 mm
19 x 28 in
Earlier this year we completed the Falcon 3,000 pc version of this painting by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, so when we spotted this vintage Hestair we snapped it up. This is the original painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, painted in 1566. Although it had fairly thin but well-fitting pieces it was still a pleasure to complete. Colours were slightly brighter than the box-lid illustration led us to believe, which helped assembly.
Curiously, the piece count was 999, the same as Clementoni's puzzles.
Total piece count for 2018: 168,274
Puzzle number 233
The house almost across the road from my mum's house, drawn from the spacious bay window. Shaw Wood looms behind, a place I spent many happy hours in when growing up. Access in those days was through the garden of my friend's house, just making an appearance On the right, number 88. When I was almost 2 years old I nearly died from appendicitis. The man living in number 90, Mr Griffith, was the only one on the street with a telephone and phoned for the ambulance. so the building is a little significant to me.
The lowest numbered VLA out today was VLA2, so I chose that to come back to Ilford on, with some trepidation...
I needn't have worried though because it turned out to be an absolute beast, performance wise it ripped the DW to shreds and no roaring either, it was actually the most rateable thrash of my day hands down so I had to get this shot at Ilford Central Library for posterity.
I should add that while in Ilford I espied sisters VLA10 and 16 roaring their nuts off, so I did probably get lucky...29/3/17

24 Hrs du Mans 1939
n° 5
Team : Lagonda Cars Ltd.
Result : 3rd
134,560 km/h - 3.229,451 km
Engine : 4,5 Litre - V12
Arthur Dobson (GB)
Charles Brackenbury (GB)
This Lagonda V12 is the 1939 Le Mans class winner.
“I want to take the V12 to Le Mans next year.” Those were probably the words of Lagonda chairman Alan Good when he stormed into the office of his technical director Walter Owen Bentley just before Christmas in 1938. Bentley then had six months to build a racing car equipped with the new twelve-cylinder Lagonda engine. “It will be impossible to win. We’ll just try to finish the race; we can win next year”, he retorted.
Bentley altered the V12, increasing maximum power from 180 hp to 206. He reduced the weight by using lighter steel and by drilling holes in the frame, covering them with aluminium discs. The car was given the race-number 5, hence its nickname ‘Old Number 5’.
Arthur Dobson and Charles Brackenbury made up the team. Dobson started well but was outclassed by the French Bugattis and Delages. Around four o’clock in the morning the Lagonda was in sixth position, but eventually advanced to third position behind Gerard/Monneret’s Delage and Wimille/Veyron’s Bugatti; the Lagonda held that position until the finish. A privately owned sister car finished fourth. However, ‘Old Number 5’ did win its class. The car covered 239 laps, a distance of 3,220 kilometres, at an average speed of 133km/h. It was officially clocked at 223 km/h on the 5 kilometer long Mulsanne Straight.
The following year, in 1940, war broke out and Le Mans was not run. After the war the Lagondas were sold to Charles Brackenbury. ‘Old Number 5’ had a few more owners before it was acquired by the Louwman Museum.

Found this one in storage. Did it in '71 when I was 21 & doing illustrations for local mags.
In 1908, the Locomobile known ever since as ‘Old 16’ won the prestigious Vanderbilt Cup Race. Its victory marked the first time an American car won an international auto race and served notice to the rest of the world that America had mastered automotive technology and was poised to change the auto industry forever.
Old 16 is considered by many to be the most important antique American automobile of all time, and now resides as a centerpiece of The Henry Ford museum.

This water meter has been leaking for weeks, and I hope for the sake of the owner that the leak is BEFORE the meter!
They probably drive in and out and never notice the flooded pavement.

The former NLA tower, or 'Threepenny bit'/'50p' building is now simply known as 'Number 1 Croydon'. The building which is next to East Croydon railway station is seen in late afternoon sunshine.
I either keep no secrets, or I am a very boring individual. I've only been doing this for a week and I have run out of things to say.
Secret number seven:
I wear a uniform to work everyday. Because I do not have to worry about what I wear, I have sort of lost my sense of self as far as fashion is concerned. In the Spring/Summer, I pretty much live in capris and Chucks. But now that it is dropping below the Africa hot temperatures, it's time to hang the capris up and graduate to big girl pants. I went shopping today for myself. I had some credit and my birthday is coming up, so I figured what the hey. I tried on dress pants, satin shirts, frilly things and fancy dancy holiday clothes. I ended up buying jeans and a sweater. I am just not the fancy dancy type. Plus, Chucks don't look that great with wide leg dress pants. Also, it's Real Women Dollar time! All you size 14 and up ladies know what I'm talking about. Cha-Ching!
A westerly side view of the old Washington Township Number 4 School. It sits on Route 726 in the heart of Oklahoma (one of Ohio's many ghost towns) and looks like it's being eaten by a larger more modern storage structure. It looks like 90% of the original school structure is still intact though, hanging on for dear life. I wish I had backed out a little more on this picture, because the original water pump is still sitting in the front yard. See the next two pictures in this photoset for more of this school.
