"A hot-blooded adventurer thrusts deep into a frontier of love and danger."
"Abide with us for it is toward evening and the day is far spent."
A glimpse of the stained glass in St Michael's Church, Doddiscombsleigh in Devon - much of the medieval glass still remains there - remarkably.
These stained glass shots are the last ones I was able to take before my poor little Fuji P&S upped and died on me in a spectacular New Year's Eve tantrum. Currently it awaits restoration and probably psychotherapy in order to be returned to me. In the meantime, I await news to find out if I am fit enough to be its owner. I've been told social services might have to be involved....but the camera is so traumatised they don't even think it is suitable for fostering. Ho hum......
Good job that:
a) I bought a cheap film camera for the evening sun and The Lost Gardens of Heligan...you and me both will have to tolerate the wait to see if anything useful can be retrieved from it.
and
b) a very, very lovely kind person intermittently loaned me their Nikon D70s for The Lost Gardens of
Heligan, an evening beach sunset, Padstow, & The Eden Project.......... * claps with delight!!!!*
Woo Hoo!!!! :D
This is one of the old slides that I used to project in The Riverside, the music venue/nightclub I worked in in the 1990's. Back then, the only way to get text like this was to type it into DPIV on my Amiga 1200. Such a shame that software never evolved for today's machines. It had a great kaleidoscope brush feature and could produce animations ridiculously easily, which could then be recorded straight onto VHS tape to play on the bank of knackered old TVs from Uncle Hamish's dodgy 2nd hand electricals shop. Much fun.
It was also used as part of one of my favourite projector games, where by we'd sit in the dark with the projector lens cap on, and wait for a bunch of drunken chavas to wander up the bank. Then the lens cap would be quickly taken off and replaced a couple of times to flash the message onto the wall opposite. This usually caused a bit of harmless and entertaining confusion.
In the unlikely event that anyone is even vaguely interested, the whole set is probably best viewed as a slideshow.

Titre : Almanach des Postes et des Télégraphes, registre de 1924
Auteur : Imprimerie Oberthür
L’Almanach des Postes et des Télégraphes, traditionnellement distribué par les facteurs à l'occasion des étrennes de fin d’année, est devenu incontournable. À l’origine, l’almanach est un petit livret populaire publié chaque année et comprenant, en plus d’un calendrier, des renseignements astronomiques, météorologiques, scientifiques et pratiques.
L’imprimerie Oberthür est associée à l’almanach des Postes. Elle fut la première, à partir de 1854, à imprimer à grande échelle ces almanachs postaux. Installée à Rennes, l’entreprise Oberthür est un acteur majeur de la vie industrielle de la ville aux 19 et 20e siècles.
Objet pratique, l’almanach va vite devenir un objet décoratif : la grande idée de l’almanach Oberthür, indépendamment des renseignements pratiques, réside dans l’illustration qui est proposée au recto, collée sur un carton. La vignette, relativement banale va rapidement s’effacer au profit d’une image en couleur qui envahit le recto de la page. Ainsi, chaque foyer français pouvait accrocher, chaque année, un almanach faisant office de petit tableau. Le graphisme et les thèmes représentés dans ces images illustrent les évènements contemporains et reflètent l’évolution des mentalités.
La Bibliothèque de Rennes Métropole conserve une grande partie des almanachs réalisés par l’imprimerie Oberthür. Certains d’entre eux ont été numérisés par la bibliothèque. L’occasion de découvrir ou redécouvrir en images l’histoire des almanachs Oberthür. Vous trouverez sur les tablettes rennaises les almanachs des années 1885, 1887, 1889, 1913-1914, 1914-1915 et 1924.

“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” - Susan B. Anthony
Taken 07/09/12: The 2012 Swanage Gala featured a shuttle service between Norden and the boundary between the Swanage railway and the National Network at Motala. These were the first such workings at a Swanage Gala, although I believe at a recent Gala (2009?) some services were booked to run ‘beyond Norden’. The shuttle was worked using a d.m.u ‘top and tailed’ with the two small Bagnall 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotives loaned from the Bodmin and Wenford Railway for the Gala. The two locos are 'Judy' (No. 2572 of 1934) and ‘Alfred’ (No. 3058 of 1954). These locos used to work china clay trains at the Par Docks in Cornwall. Locos used at Par had to be squat in stature, half the height of a conventional steam locomotive, because they had to run under a low bridge carrying the Penzance to London main line
From the Bodmin and Wenford web-site:
“Alfred is of very similar design to “Judy” (named with Punch and Judy in mind), the only significant differences were in the tank, Judy had a riveted tank whereas Alfred’s is welded, also Judy’s bunkers are riveted and Alfred has rolled bunkers. Upon delivery, Alfred was due to be named Punch (i.e. …and Judy), however this was also the week that the long serving harbour master was retiring, his name was Alfred, so the engine was named in his honour.
Alfred and Judy are “cut down”; their work was to transport wagons of china clay around the Par docks, the dries that the clay was processed in was on the far side of the Paddington-Penzance mainline from the docks. The docks line went under the mainline with a low bridge, so these two engines were specially built to make this job possible. When coupled to clay wagons it is easy to see the significance of the size of the two engines, the roof and the top of the wagons being set at the same height.
In 1978 Alfred finished work at Par Docks, and went on permanent loan to the Cornish Steam Locomotive Preservation Society (CSLPS), based at Bugle Steam Railway at that point, from there the CSLPS moved to Bodmin, where she still resides. Except for a repaint and a tank renewal Alfred has had very little time out of service. This engine is a very good training engine, many a young trainee fireman have learnt the ropes on this engine when shunting in the yard at Bodmin.
Quite possibly the most famous engines on the railway, Alfred and Judy were to be an inspiration to the Reverend W. Awdry, the author of the Thomas the Tank Engine books. Alfred can be seen masquerading as Bill or Ben during our Days out with Thomas events.
Alfred being so small is easier to transport than other engines and has been on various excursions. In April 1999, Alfred visited the North Cornwall port of Padstow for the towns first “Fish and Ships” Festival. Over the years Alfred has made trips to the West Somerset Railway for their “Days out with Thomas” event, Alfred made a trip of the 20-mile line, quite some way with such small wheels. In August 2002, Alfred went out again, this time to St Blazey and Par. For the first time in 24 years Alfred was to be seen moving around the Par Docks on its way to the EWS yard at St Blazey for the first “Family Open Day”. On this trip Alfred was accompanied by the three mainline diesels from Bodmin, many other “in service” and preserved mainline diesels and GWR “King Edward I” (a real little and large show
The CSLPS is won funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the restoration of the loco to working order. A new firebox and a general refurbishment was needed. The locomotive was re launched alongside 'Alfred' in 2009.”

Appears to be a second-hand store in Springfield, Oregon USA with a very clever and fun sign, great play on the words of a famous movie "The Little Shop of Horrors"
