Quand ce ne sera pas de la photo, ce sera du tricot... Tout plein de belles chaussettes colorées à réaliser.
Beaucoup disent que la Suède n’est qu’un petit pays et que ce que nous faisons n’a pas d’importance. Mais j’ai appris qu’on n’est jamais trop petit pour faire une différence. Et si quelques enfants peuvent faire les gros titres partout dans le monde simplement parce qu’ils ne vont pas à l’école, imaginez ce que nous pourrions faire ensemble si nous le voulions. Mais pour ça, nous devons parler clairement, même si ça peut-être inconfortable.
Vous parlez de croissance économique verte et durable, parce que vous avez peur d’être impopulaires. Vous parlez de poursuivre les mêmes mauvaises idées qui nous ont mis dans cette situation, alors que la seule réaction logique est de tirer le frein à main.
Vous n’êtes pas assez matures pour dire les choses comme elles sont. Même ce fardeau vous le laissez à nous, les enfants. Mais je me moque d’être impopulaire. Je tiens à la justice climatique et à une planète vivante. Notre civilisation est sacrifiée pour permettre à une petite poignée de gens de continuer à gagner d’énormes sommes d’argent. Notre biosphère est sacrifiée pour que des personnes riches, dans des pays comme le mien, puissent vivre dans le luxe.
Ce sont les souffrances du plus grand nombre qui paient pour le luxe de quelques-uns.
En 2078 je fêterai mes 75 ans. Si j’ai des enfants, peut-être qu’ils passeront cette journée avec moi. Peut-être qu’ils me demanderont de parler de vous. Peut-être qu’ils me demanderont pourquoi vous n’avez rien fait alors qu’il était encore temps d’agir.
Vous dites que vous aimez vos enfants par dessus tout et pourtant vous volez leur futur devant leurs yeux. Jusqu’à ce que vous vous concentriez sur ce qui doit être fait plutôt que sur ce qui est politiquement possible, il n’y a aucun espoir. Nous ne pouvons pas résoudre une crise sans la traiter comme telle. Nous devons laisser les énergies fossiles dans le sol et nous devons nous concentrer sur l’équité. Et si les solutions sont introuvables à l’intérieur du système, alors peut-être devons nous changer de système. Nous ne sommes pas venus ici pour supplier les dirigeants du monde de s’inquiéter. Vous nous avez ignoré par le passé et vous nous ignorerez encore. Nous sommes à court d’excuses et nous sommes à court de temps. Nous sommes venus ici pour vous dire que c’est l’heure du changement, que ça vous plaise ou non. Le vrai pouvoir appartient au peuple.

Another participant in the D Day revival weekend in the village of Southwick, Hampshire. This young lady was dressed in clothes from the period and selling event programmes. Nice smile!
Here in the UK there has been a programme recently broadcast on Channel 4 television called ‘Drag SOS’. Naturally, I will admit I was drawn to watch this due to my own transvestism. I’m not sure quite what I was expecting apart from I assumed it was going to be high camp and full of competitive bitchiness. I have to say I’m not comfortable with such attitudes between drag performers yet I could not resist the pull of the programme title. I braced myself for some truly nasty moments and pressed play…
What followed was one of the kindest and heart-warming programmes I had seen on television in recent years. The Drag Queens, a troupe known as ‘The Family Gorgeous’ were indeed out there but were genuinely lovely and full of empathy and understanding and I felt not only encouraged the people that decided to give drag a go and become a Queen but gave them a huge boost in self esteem. The participants were not what you may expected. The core of the programme was about encouragement, confidence, boosting self esteem, bringing about greater understanding of self and others and full of genuine love. Drag was the vehicle that allowed people to do this, it provided the key to unlock people to be more expressive of themselves and brought them closer to their loved ones.
For me watching it I found it was unlocking me as well, the programme surprised me by giving me new confidence and direction with my own transgender activities. I acknowledge that may all sound rather grand for what was an entertaining yet highly encouraging programme that never gets too deep, though it does have some emotive moments that resonate yet instils positive feelings for the future.
I am not about to become a Drag Queen with a stage act though I’ll admit seeing the participants go for it on stage truly inspired me and I did imagine myself swapping places and daring to push myself as they did. The Drag Queens overseeing the whole process of encouragement and helping people to be open and true to themselves were inspiring. I should clarify this is not simply a coming out film as most of those who take on the opportunity to become a Queen are not (so far) Gay or Transgender, in fact some of them are women with families, it was about all about love and freeing oneself.
The impact of this programme on me was incredibly positive and to my surprise brought about a new feeling of inner peace and resolve. The core message that came from the programmes was unlock yourself and set yourself free, cast off your inhibitions!
I should now explain why I’m posting this video. Firstly, I have previously posted a shorter version of this video here on Flickr. It was within the last year when the maximum running time for a video on Flickr was three minutes. The original edit of the video was five minutes. Running time has now increased to a maximum of ten minutes so this has enabled me to post the original version (I did also post this on my You Tube channel). I’m posting it again as the opening of the video was something I dared myself to do. I did think about editing it out of the video as I was a bit embarrassed and taken aback at what I had done then I thought ‘hang on’ as my usual inhibitions were gaining control so I left it in as the truth is when I filmed the beginning part I was feeling incredibly free about expressing myself. I then go onto my usual store of consciousness musings about my cross-dressing so if you do watch the video you will be sure to be bored. The video was really an indulgent outlet to talk openly about my feelings on my transvestism.
I can see now what I was experiencing on the evening I filmed the video was something that was highlighted in the ‘Drag SOS’ programmes about releasing oneself and casting off a lifetime of inhibition. After watching ‘Drag SOS’ I felt a new inner freedom abut my desire to dress as a woman and enjoying time as my female alter-ego. It’s because I am encouraged and enthused by what came out of the programmes that I am posting the longer version of my video. It felt amazing to appear on camera as a woman and pour out things I have locked up in my head for years and years. As a man I am incredibly strait-laced and full of inhibitions. I am still shocked by my own video! It may not even appear radical to anyone watching it but for me it was really out there!
The video repost here on Flickr is all because of the heart-warming encouragement I witnessed in the Drag SOS programme and I feel grateful to the ‘Queens’ of ‘The Family Gorgeous’ who have given me renewed confidence to express myself more openly in the future; to them I offer a big ‘Thank You!’.
I think the programmes can only be viewed online in the UK should you be interested in watching them. Here is the direct link: www.channel4.com/programmes/drag-sos
2020 has not been much to talk about has it however with the vaccination programme gathering pace let us all hope for some vestige of normality to return early next year. I would like to wish you all a very happy and more importantly healthy 2021. Cheers xxx.

For years I went to most of the home matches - and a few away fixtures - of Stafford Rangers. Eventually I tired of the tired facilities, worsening refreshments, moaning about officials (by home supporters), and uninspiring play. But I do have some fond memories and might be tempted back one day - provided I can park nearby, the weather is good, the crowd are fair and the football worth watching. Surely that's not too much to ask?
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are reviewing Memories.
In the early 1950s the Royal Air Force realised that it could streamline its training programmes if jet powered aircraft only were used. As a result of this, a requirement for a new dedicated training aircraft was issued to UK aircraft manufacturers. Originally developed by Percival as a cheap jet-powered derivative of its successful Alvis Leonides, radial-engined Piston Provost, the Jet Provost evolved into an entirely new aircraft. Powered by a Bristol-Siddeley Viper 102 engine, the prototype aircraft (XD674) took its first flight on 26th June 1954. It soon caught the eye of the RAF with its side by side layout and superb handling qualities, and was appreciated enough for the RAF to purchase an initial batch of nine airframes. They were incorporated in a new training syllabus with 2 Flight Training School (2FTS) based at RAF Hullavington, and performed very successfully.
As a result of this the Royal Air Force adopted the Jet Provost and ordered 201 T.3s in June 1959, and announced that the 'JP' would become the standard basic RAF trainer. The T.3's differed from the T.1s in having Martin Baker ejection seats, tip tanks, updated cockpit avionics and a clear-view canopy.
In November 1961 the RAF issued a follow-on order for a further 198 Jet Provosts T.4's. Powered by an updated Rolls Royce Viper 202 instead of the 102 used in the T.3, these were built and delivered by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) until 1964.
In 1967 the RAF made a final order for further JPs, this time 105 Jet Provost T.5s. Two prototypes were built by BAC (XS230 and XS231), and the first of these first flew on February 28th 1967. The T.5 was different from the earlier T.4 with a pressurised cockpit, re-designed windscreen, sliding canopy, longer nose and new wings. Deliveries of this type started in the latter years of the 1960's. Five T.55's were also built and sold to Oman, and the type also enjoyed success in the overseas market with Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Iraq and Venezuela Air Forces.
As a result of the success of the T.5 BAC looked at producing a JP that could also be used as a light attack aircraft as well as a trainer, and the result was the Strikemaster. Changes made to the airframe included 8 stores hard-points underneath the wings, a strengthened airframe and shortened landing gear for use in rough terrains. The prototype Strikemaster first flew in October 1967 and deliveries began as the Strikemaster Mk.80 to the first export customer, Saudi Arabia in late 1968, and many others followed concluding with Sudan in 1984 with the Mk.90.
In 1993 the Jet Provost finally ended its career, spanning over 35 years, with the Royal Air Force. It was replaced by the Shorts Tucano. A number of the surviving aeroplanes were retired and sold into private ownership. As a result, they can now be found across the globe, from the UK to the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
Known universally as the 'JP', the Jet Provost helped introduce the concept of all-jet basic training for pupil pilots in the RAF for the first time, and indeed in any air force around the world.
I began my 2016 “Streets Of Ireland” programme with a visit to Kilkenny [9-11 May] and the weather was terrible because it did nothing but rain and at times the rain was very heavy. Based on experience gained in 2015 and 2014 I recently spent a lot of money getting suitable all-weather gear and a more suitable weather-proof camera system and while this investment did help the sky was very grey and impacted greatly on my photography. I had to undertake a lot of work in post to dehaze many of the images so at times the sky may appear a bit strange.
Kilkenny is very much a party town but I wanted to photograph something other then hen/stag parties, nightclubs and tourist-attractions so I asked some local shopkeepers for suggestions and every one of them suggested the ‘Nore Linear Park’ but they all made it sound like a bit of a marathon [maybe they thought that I looked a bit old or unfit].
I made two attempts to explore the linear park, the first was late on Monday but the weather was just so bad that I abandoned the task after I had difficulty exiting a raised-rampway after I came across an arrow pointing to John Street because every gateway that I came to was locked. I had to retrace my route and as a result I did find an interesting old graveyard which I returned to on Tuesday [I will publish those images later in the week]. I asked a number of people about the old graveyard but no one that I asked was aware of it or its history.
On Tuesday I made a second attempt in the morning and while the weather was not good I did manage to photograph all sections within a few hours and along the route I got to meet some very interesting people and one really rude person.
On Monday I used a Sony 28-135mm lens but for my visit the the linear park I switched to a Zeiss Batis 25mm lens [which may have been a bad choice because it is a wide-angle lens]. The Batis is light and much easier to protect from the rain which is why I decided to use it.
The Nore Linear Park follows the banks of the River Nore as it flows through Kilkenny City. The park has a network of accessible cycleways and footpaths on both sides of the river within Kilkenny City and Environs.
The Linear Park can be roughly divided into four sections: -
1. The West Bank (from Bishopsmeadows to the weir at Talbot's Inch): This section is approached from Riverside Drive close to Green's Bridge or from the Sycamores Housing estate. It can also be accessed (by foot only) from steps at Talbot's Inch on the Freshford/Urlingford Road. This section of the park travels through mainly meadow grassland. The footing is easy and level. The section of the park is accessible to persons of limited mobility from the Riverside Drive entrance and from the Sycamores entrance. It should be noted that the Linear Park is located in a floodplain and in periods of high rainfall may be inaccessible.
2. The Peace Park (between John's Bridge and Green's Bridge in the City Centre):This is the most urban section of the Linear park, travelling through town along the eastern bank, parallel to Michael Street. Much of this section is paved and lined with shrub planting beds with plenty of seating areas to sit and enjoy. Access is from Michael Street or from John's Quay in the city centre or from Greensbridge Street.
3. The Canal Walk (parallel to Kilkenny Castle Grounds) :-
The third section of the park runs between the Kilkenny Castle Park and the River Nore and involved the upgrade and extension of the existing 'Canal Walk'. This is an attractive walk lined for much of its length with mature trees especially limes. The walk runs from Canal Square and terminates at Fennessy's Mill . During Kilkenny Castle Park open hours it is possible to access the grounds of the Castle Park from the Canal Walk. See www.heritageireland.ie for Castle Park opening hours.
4. The Lacken Walk: This area has recently been upgraded with bank stabilisation works to restore eroded areas and extended with the installation of a raised timber boardwalk. This walk is accessible from steps on the Dublin Road or from the lower path on Maudlin Street and from a newly constructed ramp linking the area with the Ring Road. The path which is narrow in places runs between HSE grounds on the Dublin Road and the river bank and links to the Nore Valley Walk to Bennettsbridge and beyond.
The Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) currently includes over 100 Issuing Banks in the EBRD region and more than 800 Confirming Banks worldwide. The event gave EBRD partner banks the opportunity to review and discuss industry challenges, pricing, limits and trade opportunities with key industry specialists, regulators and representatives from the World Trade Organization, the International Chamber of Commerce HQ and local National ICC Committees.
It also featured the highly popular award ceremony for ‘The Most Active EBRD TFP Banks’ and ‘The Best Transaction of 2016’.
Seen here when freshly out of the Greenway programme on a Summer's evening in August 1995 is Leyland National DPW 782T which had been new to Eastern Counties and was unusual in that as a Greenway it returned to it's original operator - most vehicles that came out of the programme passed to different operators than they had come from. The vehicle was later registered NIL 3964 and survived with First Eastern Counties until the early 2000's, it being scrapped by the traditional ECOC scrapyard of Jordans of Coltishall in 2004.

A short trip along the coast....
Blackpool Transport is coming to the end of an ambitious fleet upgrade programme which sees it replace its entire fleet with brand new buses at least at Euro VI or better. The vast majority of the fleet is now at this standard, which Blackpool calls ‘Palladium’ and fresh order has been announced at the recent Coach and Bus 2019 show for a further 4 Enviro 400s of the City variety and a further 15 Enviro 200s. This will take its fleet of ADL buses to 107, being 59 ADL 400Citys, 26 long and 22 Short Enviro 200MMCs. This order will probably see off the last of Blackpool’s remaining Tridents plus will lead to the withdrawal of the first Palladium branded buses, these being ten Euro V Volvo B7RLE/Plaxton Centro’s.
Seen here is a 2018 delivery of its first Enviro 200MMC, 233 (YX18KWN) a short wheelbase model heading through the seaside Cleveleys, just north of Blackpool.
The Queen's Young Leaders Programme is searching for inspirational young people across the Commonwealth who are making a difference. Today at Buckingham Palace The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry launched the scheme and had some fun with social media.

I took Morag's mum to the bus station this morning and on the way back home stopped off to take some pics. Just some random shots.
Ten World Food Programme (WFP) trucks, with two containers each, traveled from El Fasher to Shangil Tobaya to deliver 350 metric tons of food (oil and sorghum) to the Nifasha and Shaddad camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The road trip took more than 8 hours due to difficult road conditions and security challenges for the convoy, which was protected by Ethiopian and Rwandan troops from the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).
