Staff at Tarmac’s Ridham Wharf discovered a collection of silver tableware dredged with aggregate from the East Coast region. The assemblage consisted of fragments of two goblets, three hallmarked spoons, two burnt candle holders and one candle holder displaying classical style faces. Also found were a twisted piece of metal that may represent the base of a goblet or candlestick, and an enigmatic bowl-shaped item, that is yet to be identified.
This find was discovered by staff in the aggregate industry and reported through the Marine Aggregates Reporting Protocol.

Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

These are items inside the Hall of Jewelry in the National Treasure section of the Forbidden City. Again, the palace and many of the more valuable pieces were looted as the dynastic rule wound down, then again by the Japanese during their occupation in the 20th century and – some Chinese may argue – by the Nationalist government that was eventually forced to Taiwan. (The National Palace Museum in Taiwan is essentially what was removed from the Forbidden City by General Chiang Kai-shek.) Here we see a pair of red sandalwood chopsticks inlaid with gold and jade, a gold strainer with red sandalwood handle inlaid with gold and jade, a gold dessert fork with red sandalwood handle inlaid with gold and jade, and a dessert knife with a white glass handle and its gold sheath covered with carved flowers. All date to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
The Forbidden City (also known as Gugong, and currently housing the Palace Museum) is one of China’s most notable tourist attractions. Located in the heart of Beijing, it has been the center of Chinese government for the better part of the past six centuries. (For a much more comprehensive and interesting history than what I’ve included below, along with a few nice pictures, please check here: www.kinabaloo.com/fcb.html. The site is both in English and Chinese and quite well-presented, including fascinating information about how many people it took to build the Forbidden City and nice details about the building orientations and what the colors represent.)
Currently, the Forbidden City is simply a museum – a massive museum paying homage to the final five centuries of dynastic China. (The current government convenes in buildings adjacent to Tiananmen Square, which is directly south of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.)
The history of the Forbidden City is pretty succinct. After the dynasties moved the national capital around a few times (between Xi’an, Beijing, Nanjing, and a few other cities), it eventually returned to Beijing and remained there until the end of dynastic rule in 1911.
Palace construction began in 1406 and ended in 1420. Between 1420 and 1911, 24 emperors (from 2 dynasties) lived on the grounds. 14 Ming Dynasty emperors lived here and, after the Ming gave way to the Qing in 1644, 10 Qing emperors lived here between 1644 and 1911. The last emperor, Puyi, was forced to abdicate, but allowed to live on the grounds and “rule within the palace” as a figurehead. (He was but a young boy when he abdicated, so it was basically an elaborate charade to appease a boy.)
Eventually, the Republic of China forced Puyi to leave the palace for good and the Palace Museum was established here in 1925. Within the palace were all of the imperial treasures, but these were diminished (spread around) over the next 25 years – first with the takeover by the Japanese in the 1930s and then by the Nationalist government (Chiang Kai-Shek’s Kuomintang) and relocated to Taipei. The Japanese have returned some of the treasures, but there are still others that currently reside in museums in Japan and a great deal in Taipei.
The buildings, obviously, were harder to move. Physically, the grounds are rectangular, on a north-south axis, with dimensions of 961 meters by 753 meters. Within the grounds are 980 surviving buildings with approximately 9,000 rooms. The city is divided into two sections – the outer court on the south, used for ceremonial purposes, and the inner court on the north, which was used for residential purposes. Almost all of the buildings within the city have glazed yellow roofs, as yellow is the color of the emperor. There are two notable exceptions: the library (which has a black roof, signifying water, as it’s fireproof) and the Crown Prince’s residences, which have green roofs (signifying wood, or growth).
The buildings within the city are aligned by ancient Chinese customs (ancestral temples in front of the palaces, etc.). It’s such a massive complex that it’s quite hard to cover it all in one trip or, if you try, you would need a full day to do so. The main palaces and halls are on a center axis and along the right and left sides are many smaller residences, museums, and so on. The rear of the palace has a pleasant garden. During dynastic rule, the price of admission for non-invited people was execution. Nowadays, the cost is only 60 RMB in summer and 40 in winter (with an additional 10-20 RMB inside if you choose to go to the National Treasures museum and Hall of Clocks – 10 RMB each, assuming both are open). Just brace yourself for a massive crowd of people regardless of the day and probably for construction and renovation as well. To enter, you have to go in through the Meridian Gate across from Tiananmen Square on Changan Dao and you exit the north end of the palace at the foot of Jingshan Park.
For a nice panoramic view (smog permitting) of the grounds, cross under the street and walk up Jingshan Hill (2 RMB) for a gorgeous view of the grounds. (Beihai Park just to the northwest also offers panoramic views if you prefer to spend 10 RMB to go to that park and climb up the white tower in the center of the park.) Having been to the two parks, I think Jingshan is probably a slightly better choice with regards to the Forbidden City. In addition, the pavilion on top of Jingshan Hill is the geographic center of (old) Beijing, which is pretty interesting. (Of sad note, though, Beijing’s ancient city walls are all but demolished, though the gate names exist in the names of various subway stations throughout the city such as Andingmen, Dongzhimen, etc.) All in all, a trip to Beijing probably won’t be considered complete without a visit to the Forbidden City.
With summer approaching, Lunabee and I been planning a little trip to the south of France. It's been years since either of us had a proper holiday abroad, so we're keen to make the most of it. So in the spirit of raising some travel-funds, we came up with some little French robots and a little story about them!
These two are both Ruckuses called Garçon and Camembert, each comes with some tiny bread and cheese accessories made by Lunabee and painted by myself. Lunabee has painted these bots up delightfulyl and i've given them a weathered finish.
Both are are one-offs.
We hope you like them and hope to add some more little friends for them in the near future!
Backstory
The village was unremarkable in many ways. Small, as rural as could one could expect these days but with no major monuments, galleries or antiquities. Yet there was always tourists in this little piece of France. For those "in the know" the establishment was referred to as the Mechanical Cafe; it was run by robots.
This in itself was nothing unusual, every business used robots in one form or another and many of the best meals were produced by automatons with Michelin Cogs (the Stars were reserved for the human chefs) What made this eatery different was that the robots ran it. Entirely. There were no humans involved at all.
Garçon and Camembert fronted up the establishment, two early model Ruckuses that had been repainted and repurposed long ago. Sporting berets and cheeky expressions, their chassises were identical but their demeanors were not.
Garçon sported the usual "companion" head, detailed with stylish mustache and goatee. He was therefore mild, friendly, happy to help and serve. Taking orders, waiting tables and laying tableware faster than the eye could see, were all within his remit. A people-robot; he would even sketch your portrait on your receipt, most of which would later trade hands for far more than the cost of the meal.
Camembert did not have the regular head. His was salvaged from an old Rostrum, a heavy-lifting bot designed for production lines in factories. His tufty eyebrows and mustache were, of course, just painted on, but the appearance of age they gave, somehow suited his attitude. Working away at the back of the cafe, Camembert made the bread, cakes and cheeses with a somewhat grumpy gait. Where other robots might make every loaf identical, Camemberts wiring was a little off, and as a result, so were the shapes of his produce. It gave them a rustic feel.
Every day the cafe would open and close at exactly the same times, week-in, week-out, on holidays, in winter, during floods, it didn't matter.
There were many stories surrounding the strange situation - robots running their own business? What would they need the money for? How did they find themselves there? Just how long HAD they been doing this for?
---
The village wasn't always so successful. In the past it had more closely resembling a ghost-town for much of the year. The cafe had been there as long as anyone could remember, but it used to have a man that ran it, no robots at all. Tho no one could remember his name. He mostly kept to himself, which was easy, as hardly anyone ever came to his premises. He would spend his days painting, drawing and looking out the window.
One autumn day a suited man came in and delivered a letter. His Uncle had passed away and bequeathed him some robots. Quite a few robots. Broken robots. They stood in his basement for quite a while, he had no idea what to do with them.
They had come with a book. It was a book on mechanical and electrical repair. He'd flicked through it a few times, but it wasn't until he happened upon the section on bodywork and repainting, that he got an idea.
A few weeks later, there was a robot standing outside the cafe. It didn't work, but it was painted all over and was sporting a dapper hat. A week later, there was another. Soon there was a whole crowd of them standing outside with quirky faces and silly signs. Word slowly got around and by the following summer, some people were visiting, just to see them and have their pictures taken with them.
A young woman came in to the cafe. At first the man paid no attention, she had a camera round her neck, she was clearly there for the robots. She sat down and ordered a peppermint tea, but when he turned to get it, she asked for the robot outside to serve her. Somewhat taken aback, the man informed her that they were broken and just for looking at now, but that he had a book if she wanted to get him going again, and gave it to her along with her tea.
The next day she returned, ordered her tea again, but also, the book. Every day she would come in, drink slowly and read the book. She would make small talk with the man, then leave, only to return the next day. It became a little routine that the man was thankful for and looked forward to that small portion of the day when she would be there, with him.
On a warm spring Sunday morning, the man arose to a tapping on his door. The girl had arrived early - before he'd even gotten dressed, let alone opened up! She ordered just a peppermint tea, seemingly unaware of the imposition caused in the current situation.
Begining to apologise and explain, she asked for the robot to serve her. Garçon turned, entered the cafe and started preparing the tea. Dumbstruck, the man followed the girl to her usual table where they were served two teas, efficiently and politely. The girl apologised and explained that she'd arrived some time earlier and repaired the least damaged of the robots as a surprise for him. The book had taught her everything she needed to know and that with a little time, she'd be able to get the rest of them working too.
Soon the cafe was full of people. It was full of robots too. They had all be repaired and were doing amazing business for the man! It had taken a while to fix some of the more damaged ones, but it had meant they'd been able to spend a lot of time in each other's company, and had grown... close.
A year after Garçon had first been reactivated, the robot opened up for his owners as usual, but there was no man. There was no girl either. The customers came and were served, but by the time Garçon was closing up, they'd still not appeared. The next day was the same. And the day after that.
If it had been within their programming, the robots would have noticed that most of their clothes had gone, as had the girl's hovercar and camera.
But it wasn't within their programming.
So they carried on opening up the store for him every day. Making bread for his customers. Depositing taking into his account and closing up at the end of the day. As the days turned into weeks, months, years and decades, they carried on. They carried on because they'd never been told to stop.
No one ever would.
