The post card perfect beach of Cala Liberotto with its light coloured sand, blue water, rocks and green vegetation is an attractive spot for sunbathers and divers.
Some time ago I posted a few photographs taken at Burleigh Pottery - or more correctly Burgess & Leigh's Middleport Pottery in our home city of Stoke on Trent.
It's one of only a handful of traditional pot banks still in business.
We have been back on a couple of occasions to take friends and relatives on the conducted tour.The pottery buildings have been taken over and renovated by the Prince's Regeneration Trust so you can visit but it is still a commercial working pottery owned by Poole Pottery.
This is very well summarised in this video but you'll need a Facebook account to run it:

I will load these pictures in 'reverse' order so you'll see the process of making ware with the last parts of the process appearing first! The reason for this is when the set is all loaded it will appear in the correct order!
The ware was fired in 'bottle ovens' and this shows how they worked. The bottle shaped exterior is called the hovel. The oven is inside this. Ware is stacked in saggers inside the oven and different ware goes in different places depending on the temperatures needed. The fires were around the sides and underneath the oven. The fireman had the job of bringing the ovens up to temperature slowly so that no ware was cracked. He then had to maintain the temperature for a number of days by adjusting the fires and airflow and then bringing the oven back to temperatures (still hot) where the ware could be unloaded. The Clean Air Act brought in by Robert Maxwell saw the last of these ovens retiring in the 1960's.
Royal Mail van and a post box in Eynsford, Kent. Ford House is listed as a Post Office, doesn't look like it is used as such now.
This is what I get every time I have my legs waxed. It always looks like this - sometimes a little worse. I don't know if this happens to others when they get waxed.
This picture was taken a couple of hours after waxing; the following morning I had a single hive stretching from ankle to knee on part of my leg.

Eastern hognose produce large clutches, average two dozen, but can lay up to 60! As this female illustrates they are so thin following oviposition, they look emaciated. Hopefully, this Mom finds lot of toads for the remainder of the summer.

Crews were installing post-tensioning strand in the pontoon tendons on Feb. 24, 2014. These tendons will be tightened to add strength to the pontoons.
Construction crews are underway on the fourth cycle of SR 520 bridge pontoons in Aberdeen. In this cycle, crews will build six total pontoons:
• Four longitudinal pontoons (360 ft. x 75 ft. x 29 ft.)
• Two supplemental stability pontoons (98 ft. x 60 ft. x 28 ft.)
I loved my new heart header on the blog so much, I decided it needed to become my new branding. I have never been 100% happy with my three petal logo i've gone with for so long, but this finally feels right. I love the colors and the happiness of the hearts. I am forever drawing hearts, for as long as I can remember, so why not have it be part of my crafting brand? I ordered some new post cards for little love notes in my Etsy salese and some new business cards. I'm particularily happy with myself for finding a way to include all of what I do on one easy to read line: "Patterns + Quilting + Handmade".
From the Liverpool Daily Post (a sadly missed quality regional newspaper) , Dated Monday 19th September 2005, an article reporting on the previous Saturdays trip from Liverpool to York, which featured 71000 ‘ Duke of Gloucester' only between Liverpool and Stalybridge, being failed on arrival there due to a faulty valve. From here 66081 took the train to York, but to quote later from the piece (which wouldn’t fit on the scanner) –
“A preserved veteran diesel locomotive Class 40,No.40165 (that’s what was printed!) was obtained to return the special train from York. By lucky chance, the locomotive was built at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton le Willows in 1960. Prof Toyne, a dedicated rail enthusiast said – Triumph was snatched from the jaws of defeat. We left Liverpool hauled by the ultimate British steam locomotive and returned pulled by one of the first diesels to replace steam. Nothing could have been more symbolically appropriate”.
Managed to get to York for the return, probably the last time various cranks have dropped what they were doing at short notice to chase some unplanned 40 mileage.
