I have a wicked nesting urge, I tell you what. When I went away with the Ramps I set up camp in the dormitory part of the girl guide camp. While they made music I sat here with Kristeva making knowledge. Knowledge is cool, right?

"This is a temporary `fix' pending a permanent repair" - a sign attached to a taped-up join in a drain-pipe on the side of the church.
At least they're aware of building conservation...
It took a little while for a lull in the wind to allow shooting this - even after affixing it more firmly in place, a gust came straight along and blew it around...

RAF Seething airfield was built in 1942−43 by John Laing & Son Ltd, to the standard Class A requirement for heavy bombers, the airfield had a main runway 6,000 ft long aligned SW-NE and two secondary runways of 4,200 ft in length. The encircling perimeter track was three miles long. To meet United States Army Air Forces (U.S.A.A.F) requirements, there were fifty-one hardstands both of the loop and frying-pan type and two T-2 hangars, placed one on each side of the airfield, that on the south being adjacent to the technical site. The camp was of temporary buildings and the sites dispersed in farmlands to the south of the airfield.
U.S.A.A.F use –
The airfield was assigned U.S.A.A.F designation Station 146.
Its ID Code was ''SE''.
The airfield was opened on 1st December 1943 and was used by the United States Army Air Forces Eighth Air Force 448th Bombardment Group (Heavy). The 448th arrived from Sioux City AAF Iowa and was assigned to the 20th Combat Bombardment Wing. The group tail code was a ''Circle-I''.
Its operational squadrons were –
▪︎712th Bombardment Squadron (CT)
▪︎713th Bombardment Squadron (IG)
▪︎714th Bombardment Squadron (EI)
▪︎715th Bombardment Squadron (IO)
The 448th flew Consolidated B-24 Liberators as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign. The group entered combat on 22nd December 1943, and until April 1945 served primarily as a strategic bombardment organization, hitting such targets as aircraft factories in Gotha, ball-bearing plants in Berlin, an airfield at Hanau, U-boat facilities at Kiel, a chemical plant at Ludwigshafen, synthetic oil refineries at Pölitz, aircraft engine plants at Rostock, marshalling yards at Cologne, and a Buzz-bomb assembly plant at Fallersleben. The group took part in the intensive campaign of heavy bombers against the German aircraft industry during Big Week, 20th – 25th February 1944.
On the evening of 22nd April 1944, Luftwaffe Me 410 night-fighters caused havoc at RAF Seething after following home a B-24 Liberator of the 714th Bomb Squadron, which was shot down along with two other B-24 Liberator's, while a fourth B-24 Liberator crashed upon landing into wreckage on the runway.
In addition to strategic operations, flew interdictory and support missions. Bombed V-weapon sites, airfields, and transportation facilities prior to the Normandy Invasion in June 1944, and on D-Day attacked coastal defenses and choke points. Struck enemy positions to assist the Allied offensive at Caen and the breakthrough at Saint-Lô in July. Dropped supplies to airborne troops near Nijmegen during the airborne attack on the Netherlands in September. Bombed transportation and communications centers in the combat zone during the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944 – January 1945. Dropped supplies to troops at Wesel during the airborne assault across the Rhine in March 1945.
The group flew its last combat mission on 25th April, attacking a marshalling yard at Salzburg. It returned to Sioux Falls AAF South Dakota the U.S in July 1945. After the war, the airfield was used by Royal Air Force units –
▪︎No. 53 Maintenance Unit RAF
▪︎No. 94 Maintenance Unit RAF
The airfield was closed in 1945. With the end of military control, most of the airfield was reverted to farming. The eastern section, including part of the main runway and a section of perimeter track, is now Seething Airfield operated by Wingtask 1995 Ltd, originally the Waveney Flying Group. They have built three hangars and a clubroom and the airfield is active most days of the week.
To the south of the airfield, on some of the former dispersed barrack and communal sites, several of the old living quarters and associated buildings are still in existence. Some of these buildings are in a reasonable condition, although they are derelict and overgrown.
The former control tower has been renovated and has become a memorial museum to the 448th B.G. It contains a Group Roll of Honor and various artifacts and memorabilia. It is open to the public on the first Sunday of the month May to October, but can be inspected at other times by special request.
In front of the control tower, dedicated during a veterans' reunion in 1990, stands a memorial to the men of the 448th B.G. who were missing or killed in action during service at Seething.
Two other memorials were dedicated during a veterans' reunion in 1984. One is on the airfield itself near the Waveney F.G. club-house and consists of an engraved stone plaque and rose garden; another similar plaque is in the churchyard of Seething Parish Church, which is a mile or so north of the airfield. The ''Stars and Stripes'' hang in the church itself while an oak sapling has been planted near the village hall to commemorate the Group's close association with the village.

This dock leads to an islet [it's what the sign said 0.o] but it was temporarily closed! ): I remember this it was pretty sweet to be standing on an island looking at an island...
I spend much of my time exploring the countryside surrounding my home deep in Northamptonshire.
These highly individual and unique landscapes are my interpretation of the wetlands, forests, valleys and public footpaths of this ‘forgotten’ shire. Northamptonshire is place steeped in history and beauty, which I have accessed in order to create these paintings. The acrylic compositions are sometimes representative of real places but are also distillations of memories and ideas about what a landscape means to me.
I work by developing ideas in a sketchbook and taking photographs before moving onto canvas or specially prepared papier-mâché, impasto surfaces. Although my ideas are planned in a sketchbook – colours, textures, patterns and successive layers occur in a natural, intuitive way. This reflects the idea of a journey or walk through a landscape observing the sights around you. Every following visit adds a new layer to the aesthetic.
Through repeated visits to areas of special interest and then making artworks about them I have become more fascinated and inspired by their beauty. The works focus on how the countryside evolves and is shaped by human action through time.
As with many of my contemporaries my interests and concerns also lie with the state of the environment. The pollution of the environment and the disappearing countryside are elements, which can overwhelmingly seem out of normal peoples control. For this reason the paintings can be seen as memories or fading dreams of lands without roads, noise or other pollution. But I hope that these landscape paintings represent an optimistic reminder of natural beauty in the world that makes us feel free and truly ourselves.

The tooth in the dead center of the picture is no tooth at all, but the temporary crown I will have until April 3. My strong jaw and strong bite had worn the enamel on the molar right down to the dentin.
I didn't want anyone to think we'd let our cats continue to live in such inhumane conditions as portrayed in my recent photo. We went out and got them the biggest basket we could find. At their current growth rate, this will fit them for maybe two months if we're lucky.

Some permanent Mt Eden bus stops became temporary from 27th to 30th December for some unknown reason. I sure hope they do become permanent again!
This guy came and visited with me on the front porch for a while this afternoon, and he had a number on his collar so I called it.
His owner was thrilled to hear he was alright and safe but couldn't pick him up right away. So he's visiting with me for the evening, and it's kind of fun having a cat for just a little while. He hasn't peed on anything and he's mostly just kind of purred and sniffed things. Goooood kitty.
