Today I parked in Jevington and did my circular walk to Alfriston and back but with a bit more road walking than usual due to the river bursting its bank. Still it was cold and windy and so I was well wrapped up and saw very few people but made lots of very varied images of what I fancied with no particular thing in mind. There were many groups of Exmoor ponies grazing the river was extremely high and spring flowers were starting to bloom there were birds and the odd balloon.

1. don't take photos when you're drunk
2. if you do, make sure your bathrobe covers your junk, otherwise you'll have to clone a bunch of fabric to cover yourself:) just sayin'...

This series is a swipe at barns. I drove back toward Longmont on Oxford then jogged to Nimbus Road on my way home. I caught this view toward the southeast and another long shot across a field. Haying seems to be the agriculture status of this farm. I see a New Holland bale wagon near the silos. At least they are baling legal bales here. Cows can't get a square meal from the round bales! Perhaps they stored ensilage in those silos that all have rebar sticking from the tops. All three are cast cement from slip molds. I wonder if they wanted all three silos to be taller.
The foot hills are still fewer than 10 miles away as is Longmont. I was still a dandy day among throwaway days of overcast. That dictated a day of trolling with the camera.
Although still in September we were suffering August heat, I'd say the mown grasses were greening again, sort of like Boy George. It often seems agricultural has been sucked from this area. Fortunately, we can buy food from the Sam n' Ella's farm in Mexico. The area is learning how valuable water in the west really is but have yet to learn the true value of watered land and soil and that it certainly doesn't need paving.
Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I don't think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum will make rougher weather go away. This was a summer that was hotter than any on record. This August was hotter then any on record. This September was the hottest on record, all set world wide. perhaps you see a trend. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea purchases are put away in their place. Until then CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. We all live in Kochistan now!
I think this will be my last upload from the sunset over Donegal Bay as seen from Mullaghmore in Sligo. On the horizon the sea cliffs of Slieve League can be seen, one of my next locations to visit on a Sunday roadtrip! Two men go fishing, I wonder how often they get to stand there and watch sunsets like this.
The two latest gals I got were ones I REALLY wanted, so they weren’t in perfect condition, but I enjoyed sprucing them up! On the left is whom I think is my new favourite out of all of my Sindys, a Titian ‘Styling Sindy’ from 1980/81. She has the ‘2 GEN/ 1077 and 033055X’ markings on the back of her head, and her hair has thinned out a bit, (mine has too after some 40-odd years! LOL) but it’s still very soft, shiny and glossy, and it’s to her waist, but looks a bit shorter in this side-ponytail hairstyle. But what I REALLY loved about her is that her head hasn’t faded at all, which is quite a common occurrence for these ‘Styling’ lasses. Her lips HAD faded though, to a sickly creamy banana colour, so I just gave her lips a light coral pink wash and a whisper of blush on her cheeks and it made all the difference. I wanted to put her in something very clean, classic and simple so as not to detract from her gorgeous hair or delicate beauty, so her outfit is a combination of ‘Mix & Match’ items from the 1978 and 1979 ranges, in a very classic colour scheme of navy, white (LOVE those flared linen-like pants!) and a dash of bright yellow in that sporty fleece jacket.
My other gal on the right is the 1976 Funtime Sindy with ash-blonde hair that surprisingly kinda looks streaked, which is a very cool 70’s touch. It’s quite an interesting haircut, as it’s more of a wavy ‘shag’ style that’s more layered than I thought it would be, with a bit of a ‘pouf’ in the back (which in itself is very 70’s, too) and as you can see, it has also retained its natural curl. I just had to lightly brush it into shape and that was it. Another tell-tale sign that it’s genuine (and not just cut from a longer haired gal, as I have seen on some of the ones offered on eBay,) is that the hair rooting lays a bit flatter and closer to the head, and doesn’t ‘stick out’ as much as on the longer haired gals, especially around the back and sides, where it softly waves really close to her head. Her hair was the only thing that was perfect on her, as she was very TLC when I got her, but I think she scrubbed up nicely, especially in her 1978 ‘Mix & Match’ skirt, blouse and bag, which I think is a very suitable mid 70’s look for her.
