The Buttercross
A buttercross is a type of market cross, which one typically associates with English market towns. In Oakham, it used to be a hub, where people both from Oakham and the surrounding villages used to gather, selling their goods and produce. It is an octagonal structure with a pyramidal roof and stocks.Most likely built in the mid to late 17th century, the Oakham Buttercross has been designated a Grade I listed building. Alongside the horseshoe, the buttercross has become a symbol of Oakham and Rutland. It is the photo of choice on many of our local postcards.The Oakham Buttercross is located just behind the town’s market place, where you can buy fresh produce and various other goods every Wednesday and Saturday. Surrounding the Buttercross is Oakham School. Furthermore, the Buttercross is a short walk from other landmarks, including All Saints Church, Oakham Castle and Cutts Close Park.

In AD 634 Oswald, King of Northumbria summoned a monk called Aidan from the religious community at Iona to serve as the bishop of his Kingdom. Aidan was granted Lindisfarne, a small island just off the coast, to serve as the new religious centre. Over the next century, this community was instrumental in ensuring the introduction and spread of Christianity across northern England. However, on 8 June 793, Lindisfarne was raided by Vikings. The monks were slaughtered and the religious site desecrated. Attempts to re-establish the community were half hearted and by AD 830 the monks had moved their operations to Norham. In AD 875 they established a new religious centre within the abandoned ruins of Chester-le-Street Roman Fort.
In the late eleventh or early twelfth century, the monastery on Lindisfarne was re-established. Work started on the Priory church around 1120 and continued through to 1150. By the thirteenth century the community numbered around ten monks, with most on two or three year rotational detachments from the mother-house at Durham. The monastery prospered and acquired extensive estates on the mainland providing a source of both goods and income.
The outbreak of the Wars of Scottish Independence in 1296 had a profound impact on Lindisfarne. Almost immediately the community was hit financially as, prior to the hostilities, the Scottish Kings had been regular benefactors. The financial situation got worse after the decisive English defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) as Scottish forces raided into Northumberland with impunity. Whilst Lindisfarne itself was not sacked by Scottish forces, its estates on the mainland were devastated. Records suggest the collective annual income fell from £127 to just £21. Furthermore, in 1326 Lindisfarne Priory was attacked by William de Prendergast who emptied the Priory's food stocks - most likely as a reaction to his own estates being raided by the Scots.
The threat of raids prompted the fortification of Lindisfarne Priory. The buildings of the Inner Court were already less vulnerable to attack as they were built with thick stone walls and small windows. However, the east and west ranges were adapted to make them more defendable and a fortified gatehouse and barbican were added. The Priory Church was also modified with the addition of battlemented parapets. The Outer Court, which hosted the ancillary buildings and storerooms, was enclosed with a curtain wall topped with battlements.
Despite the upgraded defences, the devastation of the Priory’s mainland estates meant the monastery lacked sufficient funds to employ a garrison to defend the site. They received some protection from the Wardens of the East March but in 1385, fearful that the fortifications were more likely to make the Priory a target of an attack, they petitioned Richard II for permission to dismantle the defences. Their request was seemingly ignored.
In 1534 Henry VIII separated the Church of England from Papal authority. Lindisfarne Priory was assessed by his commissioners and closed in 1547 although the site remained in church ownership. It was leased to the Crown in the 1540s during which time four earth-and-timber fortifications were built to provide protection for the harbour from any attack. Later, between 1565 and 1571, Lindisfarne Castle was built on the site of one of these earlier fortifications. Throughout this period the Priory buildings were simply used as storerooms but, by the seventeenth century, had been abandoned. Material was removed from the structures at this time and the buildings drifted into ruin.

The Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 metres (40–50 ft) and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb). The Humpback has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is an acrobatic animal, often breaching and slapping the water. Males produce a complex whale song, which lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and is repeated for hours at a time. The purpose of the song is not yet clear, although it appears to have a role in mating.
Found in oceans and seas around the world, Humpback Whales typically migrate up to 25,000 kilometres each year. Humpbacks feed only in summer, in polar waters, and migrate to tropical or sub-tropical waters to breed and give birth in the winter. During the winter, Humpbacks fast and live off their fat reserves. The species' diet consists mostly of krill and small fish. Humpbacks have a diverse repertoire of feeding methods, including the spectacular bubble net fishing technique.
Like other large whales, the Humpback was a target for the whaling industry, and its population fell by an estimated 90% before a whaling moratorium was introduced in 1966. Stocks of the species have since partially recovered, however entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships, and noise pollution are ongoing concerns. Current estimates for the abundance of Humpback Whales range from about 30,000 to 60,000, approximately one third of pre-whaling levels. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, Humpbacks are now sought out by whale-watchers, particularly off parts of Australia and the United States.

Hong Kong Transport
Motorbikes | Motorcycles | Scooters | Tricycles - All Brands
There are approximately 75,000 - 82,000 (ish) Licenced | Registered motorcycles, scooters and tricycles in Hong Kong, it never really changes much and dealers keep large stocks of popular models for immediate delivery due to heavy demand - The Transport Department classifies motorcycles and scooters as the same type of vehicle, personally I prefer the term motorbikes rather than motorcycles .....and yes, Hong Konger‛s love fast bikes.
There is nothing at all unusual about the popularity of motorcycles in Hong Kong, big powerful bikes are a lot more popular than the entry level 125cc and 250cc bikes simply because here you can get a motorcycle from all the major brands that do 190mph + and 0 - 60mph in 2.8 seconds, fast enough to outperform most supercars and even hypercars in Hong Kong and at a fraction of the price of a typical supercar, it is an easy sale. Scooters, well they are popular for food delivery companies!
There are over 125 brands of motorcycles, scooters and trikes for sale in Hong Kong
Motorbikes - the top 7 selling brands of motorbikes as far as I can determine in Hong Kong are as follows
Honda ✚ Yamaha ✚ Suzuki ✚ Kawasaki ✚ Ducati ✚ Harley Davidson ✚ BMW
Scooters - the top 5 selling brands of scooters as far as I can determine in Hong Kong are as follows :
Kymco ✚ Sym ✚ Piaggio ✚ San Yang ✚ Vespa

Berkswell Stocks
It was such a lovely sunny morning that I took the opportunity to photograph Berkswell village stocks on the green. It was a bit muddy underfoot, but worth it to get the shot. I love the shadows cast by the tree and the posts, but I wouldn't much fancy being locked up in the stocks... I think I'd end up with a soggy bottom.
