Undoubtedly one of the best buses I ever bought. EDJ 242J had been in preservation, but unfortunately for its owners at the time had to be moved on. Their loss however was Knotty Bus's gain as this ex St. Helens / Merseybus / Speak Airport Marshall bodied AEC Swift was in first class condition all round. In no time at all it was painted into a similar scheme to that which we see here on sister bus GEM 598N and was placed into service. I recall it being 100% reliable until it was sadly lost in a great garage fire in the mid 1990s.
The Bristol RE on the right was ex PMT JEH 197K which I'd bought from a local independent. It had a seized Leyland 680 engine and it had been my plan to fit an AEC 691 to replicate a factory option which Bristol planned.
Going off at a bit of a tangent, rumour has it that St. Helens Corporation wanted a further batch of AEC Swifts, but Leyland refused to supply them and a cancelled order of Bristol RESLs (as per 197 here) from PMT were sold to them instead.
i have been saving this one for a while, for it is called 'St Patrick', and today is its' day :-)Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

"Old Forgotten Farmstead" by Patti Deters.
This abandoned house and and outbuildings sits alongside a busy road, but is all but forgotten. The white paint is peeling, windows need fixing, the door is off its hinges, and the once bright red roof now needs replacing. Photographed on rural Hwy 29 in Ness Township, St, Louis County, Minnesota.

Beach - St. Maarten
We've had Philipsburg, St. Maarten as a cruise port several times, so we decided to just grab a water taxi and head over to the beach. When we got there the locals offer you a nice deal; two beach chairs, an umbrella and a bucket with 5 drinks for $20. Life is good.

Suggestions welcome for the two missing words.
St Katherine Cree is a very unusual church for London, unusual for England, for it was one of the very few churches to be built during the Laudian years at the start of the 17th Century. More than this, it can proudly claim that the new church was consecrated by Archbishop Laud himself. Even more, the vestments he wore and the ceremony he oversaw on the occasion were both used in evidence against him at his trial before he was summarily beheaded by the Puritans. You don't get a much higher pedigree than that.
Under the circumstances then, it is perhaps a little disappointing that the church is rather traditional, rebuilt on the exact foundations of its medieval predecessor, and perhaps doesn't really reflect what we know of Laudian worship at all. As Elizabeth and Wayland Young observed, it answers no questions about its time, informing one only that it was a time of change and indecision.
The dedication is an abbreviation of St Katherine Creechurch or Christchurch, for this was the site of the Augustinian Priory of Holy Trinity Aldgate, the parish of which was known as Christchurch. The people of the parish used the Priory church, which the monks seem to have found something of a nuisance, so in the 14th Century they gave the parish its own church, which Simon Bradley suggests may have been the former cemetery chapel. As the parish of Christchurch had been made up of four earlier medieval parishes, the new church took its dedication from one of them, St Katherine.
At the dissolution the parish was offered the Priory church, but they turned it down, probably because it was in a poor state of repair, or perhaps they were merely proud of the new tower built against their own church some thirty years earlier. Instead, St Katherine Cree was rebuilt against the tower, and consecrated in 1628. The floor was raised up higher than the old church, the ceilings vaulted, the east window in its Catherine wheel style one of the most memorable in London. The church survived the Great Fire, and Samuel Pepys described how it was used by the Corporation as a meeting place in the days after it. This part of Leadenhall Street survived the Blitz, and so St Katherine Cree remains in all its singularity.

A view of St. Andrew Chapel, a small sanctuary that is open to visitors for quiet meditation during daytime hours through the week.

If you are a fan of authentic Arts and Crafts interiors, this cathedral is pure heaven. It is spectacularly detailed, and has a richness of textures that makes for a uniquely warm and lovely environment. You'll also love the church if you enjoy the music of a powerful pipe organ. When I visited, the organist was practicing LOUD and it was awesome to hear it :-)
This building was designed by architects Clarke and Faulkner, and it opened on October 9, 1875. Artist E.J. Neville Stent of New York, known for his English Arts and Crafts-style church interiors, added the cathedral's elaborate stenciling to the sanctuary interior in 1888-89.

St George, Bradfield St George, Suffolk
The church was open daily before covid, but is locked now. Or, at least, the sign says it is. But as I approached I could see that the south doorway was open and the church security alarm was going off. A van with 'Historic Building Restorations' on the side in the churchyard explained what had happened - the workmen had set it off. Soon after, the churchwarden came to turn it off.
The workmen are obviously working on the church's drainage system, because two 17th Century headstones that had for many years lain flat, partly covered with earth, have been resurrected to clear a path for the drain. They now stand against the churchyard wall. Both appear to have different mason's marks at the base, and the date on the one with a legible inscription appears to be 1675, an early date for such a grand headstone in Suffolk.
