Apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan.
These are the pups I removed last year. They seem to be thriving on benign neglect.

In 1840 there was a massive survey and census carried out. This is a benchmark that was made as a permanent marker for locating survey instruments.
At the same time in Aotearoa/New Zealand many tribes (but not all) signed a treaty with the Crown.
These naturally shaped stones are cobbles. Not many deliveries along here these days, judging by the amount of plants.
Carved into a kerbstone, a single letter. What does it signify? Who did it? When was it done?
No hydrant, hospital, hotel or other 'H' is nearby. It's a mystery.
Somebody brought a chocolate cake in to celebrate their friend's birthday.
It was very nice and reminded me that the last time I had eaten chocolate cake was when my mother had baked it. That's a long time ago.
Looking up at the outside of Preston Bus Station, one sees these concrete panels that support the car-park, and prevent cars from toppling onto my head.
I love the rhythm of this feature.
The town library is housed in what was originally the fire station, next to what was the town hall and is now the museum.
I don't know how old this lamp is, but it's rather nice, don't you think?
One of my great-grandmothers was Irish, and so I feel no shame in using a Gaelige name for my latest attempt at making this speckled fruit loaf, using my own recipe. I think it will do, finally.
I definitely need to get a wire cooling rack!
I haven't uploaded my 2021 fireworks yet, so here are some manipulations from an old 2015 shot from my Olympus EM-10. These are from a mix of Android apps including Mirror Lab and Chroma Lab. I love the bright colors and neat abstracts I get from using these apps.
I don't get so many photos of Bella as she's so feisty and barely sits still. She does most of her sleeping at night, she probably thinks she's human.
Meet the latest member of the household, Number Five. He's from Cambridge, so 'Five' seemed obvious, if a bit unkind. So Number Five it shall be.
Russ Berrie & Co (the makers) was registered in New Jersey, and this bear was nearly called Tony (Soprano) but Five is a reformed character now.
What should have been a quick job turned into a debacle with hammers, saws, and gnashing of teeth. The old seat just didn't want to be replaced it seems.
This silent, slow closing seat is fitted with flexible gaskets that seal the gap between seat and pan, meaning flushing no longer propels a fine aerosol into the room. An unexpected feature.
Geranium pratense or meadow cranesbill.
Did you know that England is one of the most wildlife depleted countries in the world? Love the nature around you with all your heart.
For the baker, the farmers, the potter, the knife maker, the carpenter, the jam maker, the chocolatier, the shop keeper, the lorry drivers. the ships' crews, and everyone else who made it possible to have breakfast this morning: thank you.
This camera is a deluxe version of the Brownie Six-20 Model E and was manufactured in England by Kodak Limited from 1955 to 1957.
Seen in an antique shop window.
A levelling plate, also known as a flush bracket, is a specific type of brass fitting found on trig points (triangulation pillars) and other structures used for surveying and mapping. It is designed to provide a precise and stable surface for attaching a levelling staff during height measurement, enabling accurate determination of elevations above sea level.
If you type in 'trig point S5406' or whichever trig point you are looking at, into your browser, you will get a page telling you all about the trig point itself:
I have included this in my Benchmarks album because the abbreviation on the plate, OSBM, stands for Ordnance Survey Benchmark.
And I just realised I should have 'trued' this picture to put the plate completely vertical, as it is in life. I'll do that sometime =]
