It's alway difficult to get the pair in the same frame. Luckily, after having disappeared inside the nest chamber, I got the two of them at last...
JCB do mini rollers too. Who knew! Saw this sitting on the West Beach car park when out for a morning run. 10 degrees at 6.30 a.m. summer, hopefully, has arrived.
This Road Roller was ordered by New Mills Council and was delivered on 18th April 1924. At a cost of £ 779 - 8 shillings and weighing in at over 10.5 tons. It remained with the Council for 46 years, working directly for the Council and on private contract work, the cost of the hire in the 1940's being 33/4d a day, plus 7/6d per hour when scarifying. Drivers wages were charged at 3/4d per day with coal supplied by the hirer.
The engine was retired and advertised for sale during November and December 1969, attrating twenty enquiries and eleven offers. Eventually selling to A N Lawton and Frank Hardman in April 1970, and restored to its former glory.
in 1987 it was bought by its present owner who carried out major boiler repairs, the engine being stripped and fitted with a new back axle with wheel and axle box bearings, and gearing restored. The work was carried out over 14 months with around 1500 hours work
The Lilac-Breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level.
Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch two to four eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defense of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.

I had in mind the idea of Roller Girl from the film Boogie Nights and wanted to use the idea in the Challenge - I was lucky to have these fab vintage Barbie Generation Girl Roller skates and this dress is possibly the only yellow item of clothing that my dolls have... so bingo! Roller Girl is ready to roll!
A snow roller is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large snowballs are formed naturally as chunks of snow are blown along the ground by wind, picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large snowballs used in snowmen are made.
Unlike snowballs made by people, snow rollers are typically cylindrical in shape, and are often hollow since the inner layers, which are the first layers to form, are weak and thin compared to the outer layers and can easily be blown away. Snow rollers can grow as large as a foot in diameter.
The following conditions are needed for snow rollers to form:
The ground must be covered by a layer of ice that snow will not stick to.
The layer of ice must be covered by wet, loose snow with a temperature near the melting point of ice.
The wind must be strong enough to move the snow rollers, but not strong enough to blow them too fast.
The ground must have a slope, at least where the snow rollers start rolling.
Because of this last condition, snow rollers are more common in hilly areas. However, the precise nature of the conditions required makes them a very rare phenomenon.
Finding British Airways Boeing 777 fleet at London Heathrow has been somewhat easy, the examples based at London Gatwick have proven trickier to find since they hardly ever transfer over to London Heathrow (apart from a very few number of examples), normally only for maintenance.
As British Airways continue to ramp up long-haul flights from London Gatwick, the company transferred 2 of the late batch of Boeing 777-200ER's to be permanently based at London Gatwick in 2013. These are G-YMMR/S which was part of a batch of 4 Boeing 777-200ER's that were delivered to British Airways in 2009. Two more Rolls-Royce Boeing 777's transferred in 2016 as British Airways continued to ramp up long-haul flying from London Gatwick as they can fly further unlike the General Electric examples which are range restricted.
One long-haul flight from London Gatwick which utilises the Rolls-Royce Boeing 777-200ER's is from Lima, Peru. BA2238/2239 operates thrice weekly on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday only. The service was supposed to operate during the Winter however that has been cancelled to now operate only the Summer only. The previous plan was between 29th October 2017 to 24th March 2018, BA2238/2239 was supposed to operate twice weekly from Wednesday and Sunday only but has since been cancelled. Flights between London Gatwick and Peru should restart on 28th March 2018.
Currently, British Airways operates 58 Boeing 777's, which includes 3 Boeing 777-200's, 43 Boeing 777-200ER's and 12 Boeing 777-300ER's.

The Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis), formerly also called the Blue Jay is a member of the roller family of birds that is found tropical southern Asia from Iraq to Thailand. It is not migratory, but undertakes some seasonal movements. They are found in open grassland and light forest areas. It is known for the aerobatic displays of the male during the breeding season. Males and females are however not readily distinguishable. Several states in India have chosen it as their symbolic bird.
The Indian Roller is a stocky bird about 26-27cm long and can only be confused within its range with the migratory European Roller. The breast is brownish unlike as in the European Roller. The crown and vent are blue. In flight the primaries and secondaries show bright shades of blue.[2]
Three subspecies are usually recognized. The nominate form is found from West Asia (Iraq, Arabia) to Bangladesh and north of the Vindhyas ranges. The subspecies indicus is found in peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The race affinis of northeastern India and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Yunnan, Indochina) is sometimes considered a full species, but within the Indian region, it is seen to intergrade with benghalensis. nan, Yunnan), and S to peninsular Thailand and Indochina. The form affinis is darker, larger and has a purplish brown and unstreaked face and breast.
This car has never had rollers before. I couldn't believe it. Had to be changed.

The car ascending the coaster during the display. It takes 1 minute and 15 seconds to climb to the top and whole 6 seconds to run through the rest of the track. Slight LED afterburners added for fun.
Big brush rollers, with the brushes removed, with big blue sleepclamps and a blue net. A different wetset every evening for over 25 years. I love my rollers and the feeling of being tightly set.
This was quite far from me and I have cropped the picture and touched it up a little.I went nearer to get a better shot and found myself sinking into quicksand. My daughter ran across from the car to me and grabbed the camera while I continued floundering and sinking deeper. My husband tried to get a footing.I finally emerged out on solid ground with his help... But I think it was one heck of a Sunday random road trip
This Sherman Tank Holy Roller was presented to the City of London by the First Hussars on June 4th, 1950, in memory of the regiment's soldiers who fell in two World Wars. Holy Roller was the only tank of the 6th Canadian Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) to complete the campaign in north-west Europe from D-Day June 6, 1944 till VE-Day May 8, 1945. It is dedicated to those who fought in the European Campaign and to those who gave their lives to liberate France, Belgium, and The Netherlands. A plaque was presented in the memory of the members of the First Hussars both the living and the dead, who fought together with other Canadian and Allied Servicemen that led to the liberation of The Netherlands. Presented by the grateful Dutch Canadians in May 1970, and rededicated June 6, 1998, by The Dutch Canadians Remember Committee of 1995.

Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis) is a colourful resident of the open cultivated country in most parts of India. Alighting on a perch at Tal Chapar Black Buck Sanctuary, District Churu, Rajasthan.
The Steamfest is held every Labour Day Long Weekend at Sheffield in Tasmania. It is a great festival devoted to celebrating the machines that built the modern world. A large number of volunteer enthusiasts work tirelessly to put the program together, and thousands of people enjoy it over the three days.
This year at least 12 major steam driven vehicles were on display, and I aim to give you a look at some of them in this series over the next few days. Each of these steam engines have been lovingly restored and are truly exciting to see in all their glory.
I will quickly add here that I am no expert in this field and would invite any comments or information that enthusiasts can provide. You are most welcome to contribute.
It's fitting here to begin with a black and white image of "Susie". This Aveling & Porter Steam Roller was built in 1928 and has a six horsepower engine. It was used in road building by the Fingal Council before being sold in 1957. It was fully restored in 1980 by Eric Howe, and its current livery comes from owners Terry and Sue Dooley who bought it in 2009.
