A Memorial Flight and War Time Exhibition organised by Frinton & Walton Heritage Trust held on the greensward, Esplanade, Frinton-on-Sea .
A Spitfire from the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was due to carry out a flypast to Pilot Officer Gerard Maffett , who was killed bailing out of his fighter aircraft in WWII at Walton on the Naze Essex.
Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions the Spitfire was grounded.
This is the first one of these I've seen in forever.. At one time, all gas pumps had these little windows in them, with little balls in them that swirled around, proving to the Doubting Thomas in us that gasoline was in fact being pumped into our cars.. Without these, you just have to assume that the pump is actually moving gasoline through the hose until you get back into the car and check the gage.
But now they have those "vapor recovery" boots on them - and how do we know they aren't "recovering" more than just vapor? What's to keep them from sucking back just a little gasoline from each tank - the way the butcher used to "accidentally" rest a thumb on the scale as he weighed your beef...
Ah - paranoia - it never lets you rest, does it...
A pre-booked visit to Westbury Court Garden in Gloucestershire. Was a rainy couple of hours. The garden was quite small, but the rain eventually stopped.
Westbury Court Garden is a Dutch water garden in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, England, 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Gloucester.
It was laid out in 1696–1705, a rare survival not to have been replaced in the 18th century by a naturalistic garden landscape as popularised by Capability Brown. It is situated facing the high street of the rural village, extending on low-lying water meadows adjacent to the River Severn; the flat watery ground makes the site well suited to a Dutch-style garden, of which Westbury is the outstanding survival in Britain.
The two-storey Dutch style red-brick pavilion is close to the entrance. It was restored by the National Trust in the 1970s. Not listed.
Due to the pandemic, the upper floors were not open to the public.
In front is a Canal.
The National Trust logo etched into the grass bank at Fell Foot. I really needed more elevation for this shot, but there weren't any passing hot air balloons :-)
The National Trust was founded in 1895, with the aim of saving the nation's heritage and open spaces.
The emblem of the National Trust is a sprig of oak leaves and acorns.

Sir Francis Legh's Clock Collection.
The longcase clocks include three by Thomas Tompion, one by George Graham and an amazing marquetry clock by Henry Young with a very unusual arch dial and long pendulum. There is also a clock by William Grimes with unique marquetry showing hunting scenes and stags.
Francis Michael Legh was one of the last children to grow up at Lyme. He was the third son of the Hon Richard Legh who became the 3rd Lord Newton.
Francis was an equerry to HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother before becoming Private Secretary to HRH The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon in 1959. He was made Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1968 and remained Treasurer to Princess Margaret until his death in 1984.
Throughout his life Sir Francis maintained a passion for horology amassing one of the most important collections of English clocks. The other great interests of his life was Lyme. Even after the estate had been bequeathed to the National Trust, Sir Francis held a deep devotion to the estate as well to those who worked here.
In his will Sir Francis generously left his magnificent collection of clocks to the National Trust, stipulating they should be displayed at Lyme for visitors to enjoy. In the intervening years, several other special clocks have been added to the collection.

Kennal Vale Nature Reserve
Kennal Vale is a 20-acre nature reserve which occupies a steep-sided granite boulder-strewn valley through which runs the River Kennal. The site is leased and managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
In the past the valley was used for the commercial production of gunpowder. Kennal Vale gunpowder factory started production in 1812 and by 1860 employed around 50 men. On May 10, 1838 the valley was rocked with explosions as five mills blew up in succession. Amazingly, only one man was killed and another seriously injured. There is an interesting report of the incident on worldheritage.cornwall.com.
The gunpowder factory ceased production around 1914 due to the increasing use of gelignite and dynamite. Many of the old buildings remain, as do the leats which diverted water from the river to power the mills. The trees in the valley, which include beech, ash and sycamore, were originally planted by the gunpowder company to help retain a damp atmosphere.
Today, as well as being an historically important monument, the site provides a valuable habitat for wildlife including pipistrelle bats, spotted flycatchers, dippers chiffchaffs and grey wagtails as well as butterflies, moths and dragonflies.
