The Sacré-Cœur Basilica (Basilica of the Sacred Heart), is a Roman Catholic basilica and popular landmark in Paris, France, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city.
The church is 101 feet high (to the top of the lantern) while the cross rises a further 18 feet.
The first turf on the site of the new building was cut by Lord Campbell of Eskan, the first Chairman of Milton Keynes Development Corporation on 31 May 1990. Building work began on 4 June and the church was handed over on 20 December 1991.
The architect for the church was Iain Smith of Planning Design Development Ltd, a local Milton Keynes firm. The architect of the flanking office blocks, however, were Conran Roche. The contract for the overall development of Church Square was won by Beazer Developments Ltd. The church itself was built by Marriotts of Rushden, Northants.
The Cross on top of the lantern is the work of artist/metalsmith Alan Evans of Stroud in Gloucestershire and was placed in position during a special service on Good Friday 29 March 1991 that was attended by over one thousand people.

Within the historic grounds of The Roman Theatre in St Albans, directors Adam Nichols and Matt Strachan (who co-directed the current Roman Theatre run of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’) have created an elegant world of fashionable society together with a strong whiff of scandal set to a very cool jazz soundtrack.

Now, these are pretty rare... a company here was selling them a long time ago as a special series. Managed to talk a friend into exchanging it for a normal powder-coated lead weight. Thanks Gracjan, this is brilliant!

World's End is a 251-acre (1 km²) park and conservation area located on a peninsula in Hingham, Massachusetts. The peninsula is bordered by the Weir River to the North and East and Hingham Harbor (part of Hingham Bay, and Boston Harbor) to the West. The land is composed of four drumlins (Pine Hill, Planter's Hill, and the double drumlins of World's End proper) harboring tree groves interspersed with fields attractive to butterflies and grassland-nesting birds, and offers 4.5 miles of walking paths[1] with views of the Boston skyline.

The Post War Yarnold Sanger Guard Post is reminiscent of the World War II Norcon Pillbox it's made of cast concrete sections rather than sections of pipe. Named after it's inventor and manufactured by the Arc Co. The standard design consists of five sections, a floor, two blank sections, a loopholed section and a roof. Extra sections can be added for extra height or added loophole sizes. Halved wall sections can be added to provide a protective screen around the entrance. Banked up earth to loophole level with an access trench gave further protection. Normally a free standing sentry/guard post sited near gateways, they were often painted white, green or camouflage colours. They were used by all three forces, those who regularly stood on guard never complained of their vulnerability, but how cold they were inside !
The Remote Radar Head Neatishead (RRH Neatishead), is an air defence radar site operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). Originally known as Royal Air Force Station Neatishead, or commonly RAF Neatishead, it was established during the World War II, and consists of the main technical site located at Neatishead, together with a number of remote, and sometimes unmanned sites.
The station motto is Caelum Tuemur, meaning ''We Watch over the Sky''. The station badge depicts the lowered head of a horned bull; and relates to the origins of the word 'Neatishead', meaning 'the vassal's household'. RAF Neatishead was previously 'parented' (for administrative and support functions) by the nearby RAF Coltishall (a fighter station latterly operating four squadrons of the ground-attack SEPECAT Jaguar). Following the closure of RAF Coltishall in 2006, RRH Neatishead became parented by RAF Marham in West Norfolk.
When RAF Neatishead was first established, its primary function was as a 'Control and Reporting Centre' (CRC) for the south of the United Kingdom. Equipment previously located in the base included: Type 7 GCI, AN/FPS-6 height finding radar, Type 80 'Green Garlic' radar, Type 84 radar, Type 85 'Blue Yeoman' radar, 3 Decca (later Plessey) HF200 height finding radars, and a R15 radar.
On 16th February 1966, a fire broke out in the bunker, RAF station fire teams were unsuccessful in putting the fire out and so local civilian fire crews were called. Three civilian firefighters died and the fire burned for nine days before it was fully extinguished. Later that year, LAC Cheeseman was sentenced to seven years for starting the fire and causing the deaths. The station was closed for eight years, re-opening in 1974 after a major rebuild of the bunker complex.
The operational nature of the work undertaken at Neatishead was transferred to the previously mothballed site at RAF Bawdsey in 1966, with Bawdsey reverting to a care and maintenance programme when Neatishead came back on line in 1974. In November 1982, Group Captain Joan Hopkins took command of the station, becoming the first female RAF officer to take command of an operational station. During July 1990 the Type 85 radar was decommissioned after 23 years of use, it was replaced by the Type 93.
In April 2004, the decision was taken to substantially reduce activities at RAF Neatishead, and by 2006, the base had been downgraded from an RAF station to Remote Radar Head (RRH) status, but its adjacent museum remains open. Its former gate guardian, a F-4 Phantom previously based at RAF Wattisham, was cut up for scrap in 2005 despite interest from the Radar Museum. In October 2006, local news media reported that a buyer had been found for the now disused section of the base. The 25½ acres site was advertised again in January 2010, with an asking price of £4,000,000. The site was subsequently purchased for an undisclosed amount by Zimbabwean-born British entrepreneur William Sachiti.
RRH Neatishead controls the remote site of RRH Trimingham with its Lockheed TPS 77 radar. It forms part of the UK's air defences – namely the UK 'Air Surveillance And Control System' (ASACS), and is part of the larger NATO air defence. RRH Neatishead is adjacent to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum. In July 2022, it was announced that the radar equipment at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles to the RRH Neatishead site due to the threat of coastal erosion, and the increased interference experienced by radar operators from the off-shore wind turbines; the move was completed by the end of 2023.

Jerry and I went to Trail of Tears on Halloween! We saw the visitor center, the sign, the overlook, and Princess Otahki's grave.
The Trail of Tears is the name given to the route used to forcibly remove the Native American nations and march them to present day Oklahoma. They were stalled at the site of the Trail of Tears Park near Cape Girardeau because of the awful winter and many of the Cherokee died. The Thong Tree in Jackson, Missouri, is at the site of their encampment there.
