Perhaps "All in the Family" was onto something.

Those of you who have known me for a while will already be aware of my love of churches.
What you may not know is that I have waited for years for the moment I would be able to step inside this one. I've been to Linlithgow in Scotland several times and during every visit, St. Michaels wasn't open due to an on-going service, late hours, etc. And so finally, on this trip, I was able to step through those lovely doors, the sun came out from behind the clouds, and this place transformed into magic through light.
For the curious: St. Michael's

Those moments where you sit alone,
And feel the world turn
And feel it all around you

I love those moments when you're alone and feel all full up with everything. : )

Those of you who know me, know how much I love owls : ) Needless to say, I couldn't resist taking a quick shot of this garden ornament in the attractive picnic area at Pioneer Acres. I liked the spider webs, too. Just for fun ....
My daughter and I had a such a great day on 5 September 2017. She had a free day, so we decided to drive east of the city and visit the Pioneer Acres Museum. The day started off with seeing three perched Swainson's Hawks, which were a bonus. We had passed the colourful old truck and tractor displayed on tall posts, to indicate Pioneer Acres, on various occasions and this time, we actually went to the museum. What an amazing collection of old farming equipment, some standing outdoors and many others in large sheds. Have to say that I am always attracted to older, rusty things, and there was no shortage of these, either.
"Pioneer Acres is operated by a team of volunteer members who, in many cases, have extended their golden years of retirement, performing the duties necessary to meet the club's objectives. These include work to collect, restore, maintain and demonstrate the artifacts which were used by the pioneers of early Alberta.
The end result is that present and future generations have the opportunity to glimpse into our pioneering past through the artifacts on display and demonstrated. Younger members of the club also learn the care, maintenance and operation of these living artifacts." From link below.

While we were walking round the grounds, visiting each massive shed in turn, my daughter spotted a Plains Garter Snake, and waved me over to see it. She also saw several birds running round behind one of the sheds, and when I went to check, I found there were four Gray Partridge running off in the distance. A distant Jackrabbit completed our wildlife sightings, first noticed when it was standing tall and upright on its back legs. My mind wandered to Alice in Wonderland : )
Though we did not do a tour of the inside of the "Long" House, we found it an impressive building, complete with a few Sunflowers, Hollyhock and other flowers in the garden, and a tall, metal windmill that had a different design from ones I usually see.
"The "Long" House was built in 1914 by John Thomas on a farm just northwest of Irricana, Alberta. It has been lived in by three generations of the Long Family since 1914. The house was donated to Pioneer Acres, moved to our location, and restored to 1929 status." From the Pioneer Acres website.
There is also an old schoolhouse on the Museum site. "The Crown School, built in 1905, was located west of Three Hills on Highway 583. It closed in 1953 and was bought by the district of Allingham for use as a community league. In 1996, the building was relocated to Pioneer Aces of Alberta Museum." From the Alberta Teachers' Association website.
After spending a long time walking round the grounds, we decided to drive through Irricana itself in order to get back to the highway. I had seen photos on the Internet of three murals there - sunflowers, crayons, and a view of the old grain elevators that had once stood nearby - and I wanted to go and see them. All near each other, as this town only has a few streets. I had never been to Irricana before and I was impressed with what a delightful place it is, full of brightly coloured murals, and well kept. One of the outer roads had many flower beds along the edge, watered with well water, looking most attractive.
I had asked my daughter if she was interested in calling in at the Silver Springs Botanical Gardens in NW Calgary, if there was time after our drive east. I had planned the drive ahead of time, partly because I had also seen a photo somewhere on the Internet of a rather nice old barn that I really wanted to see. We were not disappointed, though it was a shame to see that the cupola had fallen from the roof since that photo was taken. I had never driven through the town of Airdrie before, but did the "drive" on Google Earth the night before and it looked straightforward enough.
Returning to the city via Cochrane, my daughter told me how to get to Silver Springs. I had never driven there before, but I had been there with a friend last year, I think on 1 October, and thoroughly enjoyed these meticulously kept gardens. We were just too hot and tired to see every inch of the garden, but finished off with photographing sunflowers and enjoying the American Goldfinches that were feeding on them, before we continued on our way.
A great day, despite the heat and smoke from the B.C. and Alberta wildfires (distant low visibility, too). Thanks so much, Rachel - hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. We drove 256 km (used about half a tank of gas, or less). I was absolutely tired out from the heat and driving unfamiliar roads.
Those poor people who had to spend those hours from Plymouth, Exeter or even all the way from London on this uncomfortable seats. Or whom bought a long distance first class ticket and didn't get a proper service. Although these Hitachi's might look nice, they are horrible for passengers ...

The line Ostend-Dover was very busy, one Ferry leaving, one Ferry arriving.
One of the main gateways to Europe!
This is a document now, that service and all the ferries have sadly been scrapped!
For us, to get to Belgium it is HULL>>>>ROTTERDAM in Holland, or driving the 6hours south, DOVER>>>>CALAIS or DUNKIRK in FRANCE.
HELP, I want to get off the island!
So here some memories!
Have a lovely day and thank you for your likes and comments, M, (*_*)

For those who can not afford to miss.
Designed for use in an urban environment, it is a suppressed caseless .50 caliber single-shot rifle (which can also fire the .50 BMG) that uses a rotating bolt mechanism to load each round. To load a round, the shooter must move the bolt handle up, forward, back, and down, like a bolt-action rifle, but reversed.
It has a bipod built-in to the front of the weapon, and comes equipped with multiple extra features. The main attachment is the S8 Computer Scope, which uses an advanced computer system to show information about distance to target, wind speed, and elevation. It also includes an auto-aim feature, where if the crosshairs/dot are held over a target, and the "Auto-Zero" button is pressed, it will do just that - automatically zero the scope to the target.
Other features include 3 extra round holders on each side of the weapon, a match-grade trigger, and a Barrett M82-style carrying handle.
Comes standard with the scope and round holders, although it can be ordered with iron sights and no round holders.

It's done! It took me about 1 1/2 days.
There are about 135 barrels (3rd column from the left, top barrel) scaled to 5 for the middle part of the suppressor.
Misc.: Average number of tabs open during this build: 8
Now I'm off to go play MW2. (I don't care if I get flamed for it, I think it's a good game.)
For those that have looked over the bridge during Healey Mills heyday.....here is a wider view to show the desolate scene today with all buildings and lighting towers gone and while the track remains, nature is starting to reclaim the site where all that activity once happened.......As its land lock by running lines.....maybe it will one day return......but for now at least some of the locos that once worked from there can be seen passing.... 56302 "Peco ,The Railway Modeller" heads the 6E32 0910 Preston Dock (Ribble Rail) - Lindsey oil empties with failed 56096 attached to the rear on 19th April 18.
