St Mary, South Luffenham, Rutland
Another bike ride in England's smallest county. Sixteen churches altogether, which sounds a lot, but churches in Rutland are refreshingly close together, and generally open, although I did find two that said they were open and weren't, and one that said it wasn't, but was.
Part six.
I headed east from Wing, scenting the train home from Stamford but with three more churches to visit before I got there. It was a lonely road, though not as lonely as the one I turned off onto, a tiny lane up to the small, isolated hamlet of Pilton, set at a remote crossroads high on the ridge. It was easy to imagine Thomas Hardy characters wandering through here at night, perhaps on their way to become the destined mayor of a small town, or maybe to commit suicide on a historic monument. Just down from the road is the church, which I found locked with a keyholder notice.
This was annoying, as I was conscious of the clock ticking away - it was nearly three, and I had a train to catch in Stamford at five - but the house wasn't far off, and unusually for a Saturday the keyholder was in. "Why do you want the key?" I was asked. This was such a stunningly unexpected question that I could not think of a sensible reply, and could only mumble "because I want to see inside the church", but this seemed to satisfy him.
This is a small church, but externally a pretty one, with a delightful little late-Perp south aisle as if it were a room in a Cambridge college. I let myself in. As you would expect, given that this was the only keyholder notice church of the sixteen I visited today, it was also the least interesting church, and the altar and parts of the floor were swathed in plastic sheeting on account of the bats. I had seen everything I needed to see in about thirty seconds, but I spent a bit of time pottering about in the graveyard before taking the key back, so as not to disappoint him. The churchyard is raised, and home to two vast scots pines which dwarf the little church. One of them had recently lost a branch in the high winds, and the branch that lay on the floor was bigger than most churchyard trees on its own. It would easily have killed anyone it had fallen on.
I took back the key and hurtled down back into the relative civilisation of North Luffenham, a village large enough to have a zebra crossing by the school, and a new road which led down to the biggest church of the day, St John the Baptist. The church was open - but I thought it was locked. There was a padlock and chain on the gate, and a sign saying 'Sorry, church closed, open again tomorrow!' Luckily, there was also a keyholder notice, but conscious of that train which would not wait for me at Stamford I hurried hell-for-leather back up to the high street and found the house. Luckily, the keyholder was in, but I probably sounded a bit grumpy as I asked for the key. The nice lady looked at me slightly wide-eyed. "But the church is open!" she told me. "It's always open every day! My husband opened it this morning!" I explained what I had found, and although she obviously had her doubts she gave me the key anyway.
I got back to the church to find that she was quite right. The padlock and chain were not around both doors, just hanging off one of the grills, and when I stepped into the porch the inner door was already unlocked. I looked back at the 'church closed' sign, and saw that on the back of it it said 'Church Open! Do come in!" Obviously, the person who had unlocked the church that morning had forgotten to turn the sign around, so I restored it to its correct orientation.
Now a bit flustered, I calmed myself down and explored within. As I say, this is a big church, a grand church which underwent an opulent restoration and was probably very High Church in its day. The feeling is of a town church where no expense has been spared. There are old survivals - the 15th Century angels still look down from the roof, and there is surviving painting under the Early English arcades. But best of all, in the long chancel, there is Rutland's best collection of 14th Century glass, the stars of which are the near-complete figures of St Mary Magdalene, St Barbara and St Edward the Confessor. It must be said that they were in the east window, and in a quite different configuration, until the late 19th Century, when Clayton & Bell came along and resotred them. But that does suggest that they were from this church originally. There is a modern version of the last figure in the west window below the tower which asks, in Latin, for prayers for the soul of the donor, a very daring thing to do in the Church of England in the early 20th Century.
I took back the key, explaining that it had been my mistake, but that I had altered the sign, and then headed back down into the valley for one last time to South Luffenham. This is more of a hamlet than a village, but it sits beside the Stamford to Leicester road. Unusually for Rutland the church sits below the village beside the River Chater.
Well, the church was locked - but the sign said it was open every day. Whoever had opened it that morning had opened the porch gates, but not unlocked the inner door. The notice in the porch even gave the unlocking rota, saying that the church should be 'unlocked by 9am and locked again at 5pm'. There was even a list of nearby keyholders with their addresses! But at last the curse of Saturday struck, and they were all out. And so I was reduced to a few exteriors, not entirely easy in the narrow churchyard.
After huffing and puffing a bit with frustration, I headed on towards Stamford, reaching Ketton after a mile or so. I'd visited the church here two weeks previously, but the light was better today so as I was passing anyway I rolled down between the high stone walls of the old village to have another go at the west front, as well as the Comper war memorial which I had unaccountably missed. I couldn't resist stepping inside again to that vast, slightly absurd space, a healing benediction perhaps after the frustrations of the Luffenhams. Yes, God was in his heaven and all was right with the world.
It was a quarter past four. It was an easy roll now down and up over the A1 and that long, slow downhill drift into the middle of Stamford. I reached the station at twenty to five, and I was back in Ipswich by half past seven, to discover I had missed several hours of steady Suffolk rain. Sixteen churches visited, fourteen of them open or accessible. Church of the day? Edith Weston, with honourable mentions for Tickencote, Manton and Ayston.
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Un grup de manifestants polonesos de Solidarnosc es manifestaven als peus del castell de Wawel, Cracovia, contra el que semblava la mani-d'un-sol-home. Desconec els detalls i no vaig preguntar, però pel que he traduit de les pancartes en polonès (del que no en sé ni un borrall), sembla girar entorn politiques restrictives o lliberals en especial per a questions de llibertat sexual.
===========================
A group of Polish Solidarnosc protesters demonstrated at the foot of Wawel Castle, Krakow, against what appeared to be one-man demonstration. I don't know the details and I didn't ask, but from what I've translated of the banners in Polish (of which I don't know a comma), they seem to revolve around restrictive or liberal policies especially for questions of sexual freedom. Typical of this early XXI Century...
....or Comma, I'm not certain, but it is an Angled-winged Butterfly......not in the best condition but I was happy to find this one, I've been trying for years. These resemble leaves or pieces of bark when the wings are folded, making them difficult to see. Thanks to monon738, this is a Question Mark.
Happy week end everyone!!!
I saw this question in a Winnie The Pooh Book at my Dr's office this week and thought it was so cute.

For Valentines Day 2019, I made 13. Each one is for a special someone.
I’ve needed for a long time to go through my huge stash of artwork and discard drawings and paintings that I see no value in keeping. Most of my work has been done on paper. But in the 1970s and 1980s, I painted a few canvases in oil. One was a self-portrait, just my head and neck. No doubt, it was a failed image, but as I took it off of the stretcher, the lusciousness of the brush stroke surface captivated me. Eureka! Out came my shears and mat knife. I’ve harvested bits and pieces for eleven of the thirteen valentines in this year’s collection. Cannibalizing? Recycling? The natural evolution of physical matter? And then, the ever-gnarly question: when is an artwork finished?
What if -Meg and Dia
All the time we question ourselves, asking "what if"
We never know the answer to these type of questions but thats why we just have to take a leap of faith. Thats what life is about. If we knew how our life was going to end up then it would be boring and very predictable. So maybe these "what if" type questions don't have to be as bad as most people make them out to be.
So go ahead start asking..
What if?
There are times while looking over my shoulder that I find myself questioning where I have come from and where I am going to. On this day I am thankful for being able to ask these questions. I do know that I need to start preparing my contribution for today's Thanksgiving dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving!

The NCDMV Gets Real at the 150th N.C. State Fair
The NC Division of Motor Vehicles informed fairgoers about N.C. REAL ID and issued more than 420 driver licenses, learner’s permits, identification cards and REAL IDs at the 2017 North Carolina State Fair.
In their usual location between the Dorton Arena and Jim Graham Building, the DMV Mobile RV, housing a two-person mobile driver license office, was available Monday through Saturday for duplicate and renewal services. More than 50 DMV educated the public on N.C. REAL ID, the new, single form of identification for flying and visiting federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants. The staff answered questions about driver licenses, ID cards, vehicle registrations and titles, vehicle theft and identity fraud, as well as services that can be handled online without visiting a driver license office or license plate agency.
Commissioner Torre Jessup joined the team on opening day to educate the public on REAL ID. For more information on REAL ID, visit NCREALID.gov.

Question 02: How do you get CTOs and Tech-Heads from the newspaper industry in India, together in one room?
Answer: Keep the event sponsors out of the room! hehe
This is a photograph from the first running of the Edenderry Ladies GAA Club 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Edenderry GAA Club, Carrick Road, Edenderry, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Sunday 26th July 2015 at 11:00. The race was held in unusually poor weather for this time of year with windy conditions and scattered showers of rain making it more like a March day than the end of July. However this did not stop about 100 people from participating in the event which was held as a fund raiser for the Edenderry Ladies GAA club. Many of the players on the Ladies GAA team took part in the race. The race started and finished in the GAA club and took a clockwise loop around the town of Edenderry bringing runners all the way to the highest point in the town at Oaklands Community school. This meant there was a decent down hill section back to the Dunnes Stores shopping center area and a flatter section on the Carrick Road to the finish. The race was well marked out and there were marshals at all key junctions. A water station was provided at the 2.5KM mark. The results will be available at www.sportsplits.com/ The full set of photographs is available here www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157655957415539

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Any questions?
Fifteen people have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police in raids as part of an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.
The people were arrested when officers raided 15 addresses just after 6am today, Thursday 21 July 2011.
Officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind II, as their response to concerns the community had that drug dealing was a problem and, in turn, increasing crime and antisocial behaviour in the area.
The raids follow on from Operation Rescind, where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011, which came after months of investigations by officers from the Oldham division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
In the latest raids this morning, 15 men were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after officers executed warrants across the Oldham area. Properties were raided in the Hathershaw, Chadderton, Westwood, Alt, Werneth, Moorside and Ashton-under Lyne areas.
Shotgun ammunition has been recovered from one address and a quantity of cannabis has been recovered from another.
More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.
Superintendent Catherine Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.
"Residents told us that class A drug dealing was a worry to them so we have responded robustly to combat this.
"Drugs wreck lives and the crime associated with them causes misery to the whole community - so we do everything possible to find out who is responsible and put them before the courts.
"These arrests are the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by officers and we have used divisional and force resources to gather the intelligence we needed to take this action. It is not a quick process and we thank the community for their patience while we have been building the strongest case possible."
