Someone brought their new turtle into the office today. I think I'm in love.
I think this belongs on cuteoverload.
Heather Jean was in the mood to shoot in chain maille and green for St. Patrick's Day. It took a while to get to these photos edited so these are for 2021. It really doesn't matter what she wears, I think she looks gorgeous all the time!
I took these photos in mid-March 2020.
Not really too much to offer in the way of specific historical information but i've got enough photos to string together a 'then and now series' which may be of interest to someone.
With the research material to hand all i know is that in 1915 this was F. Barnes grocers shop and that by 1925 it had become Barfoot's grocers and off licence.
It remained as a grocers and off licence and later a wine and spirits merchants until 1975 but after that i can't say except that it was later converted into a residential property.
Moordown pre dates the official birth of Bournemouth in 1810 and was home to a very scattered rural community that farmed the local area. As what might be termed the 'Original Bournemouth' started to spring up around the area of today's town centre on the relatively barren heathland soil the more fertile soil in the vicinity of the river Stour Valley to the north and east had supported small communities for hundreds of years.
The early communities such as Wick, Iford, Holdenhurst, Throop, Muscliffe, Ensbury and Kinson had developed along the banks of the Stour since Saxon times and over time had spread further afield to Redhill, Moordown and Strouden although these communities still centred on the original villages rather than developing into villages in their own right.
Moordown really began to develop when Bournemouth started to grow in the mid 1800s which threw a much needed life line to the mainly poor agricultural workers in the area. Suddenly there was a new customer developing around the mouth of the Bourne stream that needed to be suppled with fresh produce, milk and meat and this new development drew many into the area to take advantage of the new opportunities.
As Bournemouth grew so did Moordown and the nearby community of Winton which had sprung up as an artisan or working class area for those involved in building or supplying goods and services to the new town that was rapidly expanding nearby.
In 1901 both Winton and Moordown became part of Bournemouth with their rural pasts quickly becoming a distant memory as both areas were developed as residential suburbs of Bournemouth.
Much is made of the infertile soil of the heath that lay between Poole and Christchurch and how it was unsuitable for traditional crop farming and that the only fertile land lay to the north and east in the vicinity of the Stour, although the soil must have been fertile enough in places other than just around the Stour Valley as there were farms in Winton as far up as today's junction with Wimborne Rd and Alma Rd where the Hop and Kilderkin pub now stands, previously the site of the Continental cinema, or the 'fleapit' as it was known locally.
Nearby Talbot Village founded in the mid 1800s included smallholdings and farms and is also some distance from the Stour.

waiting, writing, sticking, hoping, maybe screaming, the door was open, the light was off, whoever notices it is too late

At the end of May each year there is a great Carnaval in San Francisco's Mission District. It is a big celebration of Central and South American cultures as well as some San Francisco humor. The parade is awesome - it lasts for over three hours with groups in great costumes, a lot of dancers, bands, performers, celebrities, and people in native outfits - all in all very worth going to. I took these photos in May 2012; I missed the 2013 parade but really hope to be back for the 2014 edition!
I'm working on a series of images in a film noir style inspired by the tracks of The Long Blondes' album, Someone To Drive You Home.
This image is based on Swallow Tattoo:
An antique emblem set in ink
It didn't mean a thing to you
Now I've been wronged by proxy
Goodbye happiness, I hardly knew you
To my horror, a former lover
Told me you've always had a swallow tattoo
And now you tell me it's a sign of devotion
But devotion to who?
What would you do if you thought you knew someone really well and it turned out that there’s this whole other side to them?
92 010 approaches Maxey Crossing at Helpston to the north of Peterborough with the Caledonian Sleeper from Inverness. It appears some one can't sleep as they take in a bit of air at the first window of the coach.
