Bowes Castle is a medieval castle in the village of Bowes in County Durham, England. Built within the perimeter of the former Roman fort of Lavatrae, on the Roman road that is now the A66, the early timber castle on the site was replaced by a more substantial stone structure between 1170 and 1174 on the orders of Henry II. A planned village was built alongside the castle. Bowes Castle withstood Scottish attack during the Great Revolt of 1173–74 but was successfully looted by rebels in 1322. The castle went into decline and was largely dismantled after the English Civil War. The ruins are now owned by English Heritage and managed as a tourist attraction. There is free admission during daylight hours.
Bowes Castle was built within the ruins of the Roman fort of Lavatrae. The route was one of the few upland passes to link England and Scotland and had remained strategically important during the medieval period. The castle site lay within the Honour of Richmond, a grouping of lands traditionally owned by the Counts of Brittany during the early medieval period, but the land itself was a demesne estate, owned by the Crown.
Around 1136, Alan de Bretagne, the Count of Brittany, built a timber castle in the north-west corner of the old fort. The use made of the older Roman fort at Bowes was similar to that at the nearby castles of Brough and Brougham to the west, on the same Roman road over the Stainmore Pass. Bowes Castle was inherited by his son, Conan, and when he in turn died in 1171, it was claimed by Henry II.
Royal concerns over security led to Henry II investing heavily in a new castle structure on the site between 1171 and 1174. It was unusual for a new royal castle to be built in this part of England during the 12th century, and Henry appears to have been driven by the military threat from Scotland before and during the Great Revolt of 1173 to 1174. Henry II spent almost £600 on the castle between 1170 and 1187, most of it in the first few years, rebuilding the older structure under the supervision of the Count of Brittany's local tenants, Torfin, Osbert and Stephen of Barningham.
The rebuilt castle featured a hall-keep, an uncommon design in English castles; built of stone, this was a three-storied structure 82 feet (25 m) long, 60 feet (18 m) wide and 50 feet (15 m) high. Internally the keep was divided to form a long hall and a solar and was lit by large, rounded windows. The keep had architectural similarities to various nearby castles in the region, but in particular to those at Middleham and Outhgill. A ditch formed an inner defensive bailey around the keep, with the ramparts of the old fort forming a larger, outer bailey. A mill, then an essential part of any castle, was built by the River Greta to supply flour for the garrison . The village of Bowes was built after the castle and formed a planned site running up to the castle, complete with a church and a market place; this form of planned village is again unusual in England.
In England, the Great Revolt against Henry's rule involved a coalition of rebel barons, bolstered by support from the King of Scots and European allies. King William the Lion pushed south from Scotland in 1173 and Bowes Castle was damaged in the raids; work was carried out in anticipation of further attacks the following year, including repairs to the chamber, gates and the construction of bulwarks around the keep. The next year William, King of Scots directly besieged the castle, but was he forced to retreat after the arrival of a relief force led by Henry's illegitimate son Geoffrey, then the Bishop of Lincoln.
Henry II was successful in quelling the Great Revolt, capturing William the Lion at the Second Battle of Alnwick and imprisoning him until a peace treaty was agreed, extending Henry's authority north into Scotland. In the subsequent years the security situation in the north of England improved significantly. King John gave control of Bowes Castle to Robert de Vieuxpont, an important administrator in the north, in 1203 and he retained control of the fortification until 1228. John stayed there himself in 1206 and in 1212, and the castle was also used briefly to hold John's niece Eleanor of Brittany, who had been placed under the custody of Vieuxpont. Henry III granted it briefly to William de Blockley and Gilbert de Kirketon, until it was given to Duke Peter of Brittany in 1232, and then to William de Valence. In 1241 Peter II, the Count of Savoy was made the Earl of Richmond and was then given Bowes by the king.
The castle remained in the hands of the Earls of Richmond until 1322, by when it was in a poor state of repair. Edward II then gave Bowes Castle to John de Scargill instead; the local tenants of the Earl of Richmond rebelled and attacked the castle. The lord of the castle was away at the time, and the attackers burnt part of a hall, drank four tuns of wine and stole armour, springalds and other goods. Conflict with Scotland led to further raids against the castle and the surrounding manor; the neighbouring fields were abandoned as a result and by 1340 the castle was in ruins and the manor worth nothing.
Still ruined, Bowes Castle was reclaimed by the Crown in 1361; between 1444 and 1471 it was controlled by the Neville family, powerful regional landowners, before reverting to the Crown once again. James I sold the castle in the early 17th century and most of the remaining fortifications were dismantled in the mid-17th century after the English Civil War. By 1928, the castle was in a poor condition, with little interest being shown in it from locals or its owner, Lady Lorna Curzon-Howe. Facing death duties on her estate, Curzon-Howe agreed to pass the castle into the care of the Office of Works in 1931.
In the 21st century, the castle is controlled by English Heritage and operated as a tourist attraction. The ruins of the keep survive, largely intact, and are protected as a Grade I listed building and as a scheduled monument.

Here a Russian Ballet dancer was photographed in the lightwell that surrounds the Somerset House courtyard in London. This is probably a better shot than my previous upload. I took a lot of shots of these dancers 'prancing about', not least as they repeated most of their moves several times for us. Light was low though and even with ISO3200 it proved difficult to catch the action sharply.
Last November I had the good fortune to snap up the last place for the Nikon Z50 Promotional day. Fifty of us spent the day taking part in five workshops with some Nikon Pro photographers, one of which included a 'fashion' shoot in this space which isn't normally open to the public. We also got to try out the impressive new Z50 but to be honest it was so different to my Nikon D7200 DSLR I struggled to get on with it and took most of my shots with my own camera.

I have been trying to get some replacement lashes for my kenner but I haven't found any that look like the originals (in this photo, the ones on the right eye). Browsing through flickr I found a photo that showed they could be replaced with the bristles of a brush. I immediately checked out all brushes/brooms that I found in my house and there was one whose bristles looked so much like the original lashes. I cut some the other day, alligned and stuck them onto a piece of cello tape. After that I used my hairdryer and a wooden rod to curl them. They turned out fine but after putting them into the doll they started rotating in between the two cello tapes I had used, and went all messy. I then tried avoiding the cello tape and trying to glue them directly on the lid's groove, but craft glue takes time to harden so they started rotating all directions too.
Today I took those out and tried to glue them straight directly into the groove, and this is the result. I am going to let them dry now and see how can I curl them tomorrow. I can't use the hairdryer this time though because I would risk damaging the eyemech. Any ideas?
With Halton Transport having met its demise, various operators have filled the gaps. Arriva have replaced many service runs, including parts of servcies 14A, 61, 62 and 200, Warrington's Own Buses have taken on parts of service 62 and some college work, Stagecoach have taken on some schools work and Ashcroft Travel have taken on services 26/27.
Arriva have taken a quartet of rental vehicles including Alexander Dennis Enviro 200MMC 7933 (SK68LZG).

I flew on this aircraft many times when it was G-GCAL with Cal-Air and Novair.
This was the 2nd DC-10 prototype and first flew on 29-Jan-71 as N101AA. This registration was swapped with the original prototype, N10DC, in Dec-72 when N101AA was delivered to American Airlines.
After being stored by McDonnell Douglas in 1973 it was leased to Laker Airways as G-BELO in Jun-77 and operated with them until they ceased operations in Feb-82 when it was repossessed.
After a year in storage it was leased to American Trans Air in Feb-83 as N183AT. It was returned to the lessor in Dec-85 and stored.
The aircraft was leased to Cal Air International in Feb-86 as G-GCAL. Cal Air was renamed Novair International in Dec-88 and ceased trading in Mar-90. It was stored initially at Prestwick, Scotland, UK before being transferred to Waco, TX, USA.
In Nov-91 it was sold to Project Orbis as N220AU. After an almost 4 year conversion programme it returned to operation as a flying eye hospital.
It was retired in Dec-13 after 42 years in service, not because it had come to the end of it's life but because of a shortage of volunteer DC-10 rated pilots and flight engineers after FedEx converted their DC-10F's to MD-10 standard for two crew operation.
The aircraft was stored at Victorville, CA, USA. However, the old 'gal was repainted in Orbis' latest livery and pressed back into service in mid 2014.
It was finally retired at the end of Oct-16 after 45 years in service and ferried Los Angeles / Long Beach on 03-Nov-16 for a final visit to her birthplace. Her final flight was on 07-Nov-16 from Long Beach to Davis Monthan Air Force Base where she's been displayed at the Pima Air and Space Museum.

Nancy (54)
Nancy is the prefecture of the northeastern French department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. It was the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine which was annexed by France under King Louis XV in 1766 and replaced by a province with Nancy maintained as capital. Following its rise to prominence in the Age of Enlightenment, it was nicknamed the "capital of Eastern France" in the late 19th century. The metropolitan area of Nancy had a population of 511,257 inhabitants at the 2018 census, making it the 16th-largest functional urban area in France and Lorraine's largest. The population of the city of Nancy proper is 104,885.
The motto of the city is Non inultus premor, Latin for '"I am not injured unavenged"'—a reference to the thistle, which is a symbol of Lorraine. Place Stanislas, a large square built between 1752 and 1756 by architect Emmanuel Héré under the direction of Stanislaus I of Poland to link the medieval old town of Nancy and the new city built under Charles III, Duke of Lorraine in the 17th century, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first square in France to be given this distinction. The city also has many buildings listed as historical monuments and is one of the European centres of Art Nouveau thanks to the École de Nancy. Nancy is also a large university city; with the Centre Hospitalier Régional Universitaire de Brabois, the conurbation is home to one of the main health centres in Europe, renowned for its innovations in surgical robotics.

Nothing can replace a precious pet that has been lost, but between Ragnar and Freja, I am feeling comfort over losing Squeeks. They are so alive and honestly are the sweetest kittens I've ever seen.
This was Ragnar, waiting outside my brother's room and catching some sunlight in the hall. He graciously allowed me to capture several fairly decent shots of him. Kittens in motion aren't an easy thing to grab, and he doesn't stay still for long!
Of the two, Rags is definitely the little lover. He has to cuddle and be on me. The jealousy between him and Barrymore is already setting in, and Ragnar took his first swipe at poor More-More yesterday! He still has claws, but Barrymore doesn't, so I'm hoping he doesn't realize it! He's growing rapidly, and with size comes threat.
Freja, on the other hand, is quick as lightning, but smaller than her brother. I can tell I'm going to have a whole lot more pics of him through the years, simply because he's calmer, especially with a full tummy!
Replacing the keyworth connection from Summer 2017, former the mickleover branded 728 now joins the Nottingham fleet, displacing the current Optare Tempos that are being withdrawn and disposed.

Direct Rail Services class 68 no. 68017 leads the Northern Belle set and 68016 down the slow line at Nuneaton on 22nd May 2016 with 5Z29 Acton Lane-> Crewe HS empty coaching stock move having been used on UK Railtours' 'The Welsh Dragon' over the weekend.
The class 68s are mixed traffic locomotives and were ordered from Vossloh in 2012 by Direct Rail Services. The locomotives are fitted with a 3,800 hp Caterpillar engine and are of Bo-Bo design. 25 locomotives will eventually built and the first examples were delivered into the UK in January 2014. 68001-15 are in the country, 68010-68015 will soon be working on the London Marylebone-> Birmingham Moor Street services replacing the class 67s, these locomotives will carry the Chiltern Railways silver livery. Currently, the Chiltern 68s are slowly taking over, mostly appearing on the Banbury diagram. From 1st April 2015, the 68s are appearing on more and more diagrams. As of 11th May 2016, the 68s are fully deployed on Chiltern and enjoy a variety of work with DRS and also with Scotrail on the fife circle turn.
