He passed away peacefully, early this morning while I was holding him....he was special. I'm glad I got these photos of him. It's amazing how such a small little creature can have such an impact on you in a short time. I had a good cry over this guy.
I will miss you, Stuart Little. ♥♥♥
Thanks so much for all your special thoughts, comments and FM's the last few days.
Drawn during our team meeting this morning, which is not as unprofessional as it might seem, because I find that I listen far more closely when I'm drawing than when I'm sitting and staring at someone talking.
Take Stuart, here, for example. It might look like he's concentrating hard on what he's being told, but I know for a fact that he's actually trying to decide whether he really prefers Highway 61 Revisited to Blood on the Tracks, even though, deep down, he believes 70s Dylan to be superior to 60s Dylan. It's a tricky question...
You can see a photograph of Stuart here.
(I'm sure Stuart would want me to make it clear that this drawing is most definitely not part of dinosaur week.)
RD13089. Kerr, Stuart First World War 'Joffre' Class 0-6-0T AXE of 1915 vintage departing from Woody Bay Station on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway a few miles south west of Lynton in North Devon.
This 19 mile 2ft gauge railway was opened in 1898 but closed by the Southern Railway in 1935. Re-opening took place in 2006, albeit so far only a mile, but there are plans to re-open further stretches as time and money permit.

St Andrew, Ilketshall St Andrew, Suffolk
St Andrew is one of the Saints, a group of twelve remote, scattered and traditionally lawless parishes not far from the Norfolk border. There is a sense in which St Andrew is in the Saints, but not of them: it looks away from the others to north and east for the other parishes in its shared benefice. There is no real village here, but that is par for the course with the Saints of course: only three of them have a proper village in their parish. St Andrew has more houses than most, but they are scattered around commons, separated by winding hedged lanes. All in all, the parish is rambling and incoherent, and somewhat difficult to grasp.
This grand round-towered church sits at a bend in the road with the former rectory for company. As is common in this part of East Anglia, the tower has an octagonal bell stage, and although some round towers were built from scratch in the 13th and 14th centuries, it is likely that this top was built onto a Norman tower, probably contemporarily with the body of the nave, which despite the acquisition of later Perpendicular windows is essentially a long Norman church. The chancel was probably added at the time the tower was topped off. A good modern statue of St Andrew gazes out from the niche on the porch, which was built right on the eve of the Anglican Reformation. The graveyard he looks out on is a delight: there has been almost no clearance of the older gravestones, and it must be a genealogist's dream.
In December 2001, workmen undertaking a repair to the south wall uncovered a remarkable scheme of wall paintings. They bear a similarity to the 14th century wall paintings at nearby North Cove, but what makes them unusual is the main subject, the depiction of a wheel of fortune. It is the only known example in East Anglia, although it is possible that the painting on the south wall at Barton Bendish St Mary in Norfolk may show something similar. The wheel of fortune is a variation on the usual Judgement scene, with a seated figure at the top, and two other figures apparently tied to the wheel, one rising and the other falling. The image of a wheel of fortune was a potent one in late medieval times. It was derived from a work called the Consolation of Philosophy, by the 6th Century Roman philosopher Boethius. By the 13th and 14th centuries, this book was the most widely copied work of secular literature in Europe, central to a university education and formation for the Priesthood. As such, it informed and infused English medieval Christianity, particularly at the time of the Black Death and afterwards.
Famously, Boethius has Fortune tell us that inconstancy is my very essence; it is the game I never cease to play as I turn my wheel in its ever changing circle, filled with joy as I bring the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top. Yes, rise up on my wheel if you like, but don't count it an injury when by the same token you begin to fall, as the rules of the game will require This fatalism is also seen expressed in such more common wall painting scenes as the Three Living and the Three Dead, where the noblemen out hunting are reminded by corpses in various states of decay that as you are, so once was I, as I am so you must be, therefore prepare to follow me. The suggestion is that it is of no use to store up earthly treasures, but the wheel is also intended to remind the viewer of the temporality and uncertainty of material things, and that it is far better to concentrate the mind on higher thoughts.
In the 15th century, there was a move away from classical mysticism towards an enforcement of the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church, mainly because of the way in which the increasing wealth of a rising middle class was paying for reminders of the significance of praying for the dead at that time of pestilence and disease. These wall paintings were probably covered up during the 15th century, a century or so before the protestant iconoclasts came along. Around the wheel are other figures, including the dead rising from their graves, and east of the window are a queen and an angel, probably part of a larger scene. The pitting in the figure of the queen is almost certainly not iconoclasm, but simply the way that the surface has been prepared for a covering of plaster.
For many years this church had been a woefully neglected place, full of dust and dirt. But the discovery seems to have galvanised the local parish. The great carved royal arms of Charles II were swept off to Cambridge to be restored, the unicorn's manhood gilded in magnificent fashion, which may well explain the gloomy look on the envious lion's face. The church is now beautifully kept, and - at last - after many years of being kept locked without a keyholder notice, it is now open every day.

An avid basketball player, Stuart wanted to incorporate basketball as well as his son in his senior pictures. My thanks to the coach who took time out of his Sunday to let us into the gym..
In this shot, I tried reproducing something I saw on David Hobby's strobist site. We didn't have a really good location (blank wall) to capture the shot that I wanted, but all-in-all it turned out satisfactorily.

An extremely rare survivor in 1972 - Kerr Stuart 10" 0-4-0WT No.3063 of 1918 lying withdrawn in the Chepstow yard of Fairfield Mabey, 05/72. It was a far older design than 1918, being built to an Edward Borrows of St Helens design of 1890, in turn a development of an 1860's design of Cross of St.Helens. The last such loco was built as late as 1929 as they were very rugged and reliable. Unusually, the Stephenson link motion is outside the frames but inside the wheels.
