My favorite erstwhile apprentice baker is now working as a roofer, restoring historic buildings. "AI won't replace this job and everyone has a roof," he said.
This handsome house was built in the eighteenth century and subsequently remodeled. It is grade 2 listed and has some interesting features inside and out. You can see the chequerboard cobbles in front.
Saw this on my way to meet my friend for coffee. Made me think of old trawlers.
It's been an odd kind of day, but it was great to catch up over a decent brew.
This house stands close the the river bank, but far away enough not to worry about floods. The date stone above the front door reads 1847. The Irish Potato Famine was ongoing, the first Mormons arrived in Utah, New Orleans was hit with a yellow fever epidemic, Sam Colt sold his first revolver to the US government, and Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' was sent to the publisher.
Sadly, being a private house, I didn't find out if there was honey still for tea.
A little benign neglect on the riverbank means last summer's tansy has dried, resulting in this natural sculpture.
A plant that repels flies and fleas but attracts pollinators while looking good; what a gift.
Never cooked this before. Some recipes suggested trimming, stripping, and general faffing about. I took my more direct approach; cut cleanly in half. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for a few minutes (15), flipping after 7 minutes.
Lancaster Castle contains Shire Hall, which is a court for hearing civil cases, and the Crown Court, which is for criminal cases. I think the Crown Court is no longer used, being too small for modern trials, apparently.
More than anything else, Lancaster Castle has been a prison, until 2011. Now it's a visitor attraction, with a Crown Court attached.

A pretty porcelain pedestal from around 1890, on display at the Crossness Pumping Station.
It makes a nice change from the ubiquitous plain white of today.
If you're interested, the label reads:
Porcelaine Anglaise Cauldon
E.P. concessionaire Paris
Grand Prix 1889
Cauldon was an established porcelain manufacturer based in Stoke, but like many businesses over time, it changed hands several times before disappearing. Cauldon made some charming tableware from around 1904, which is quite sought-after.
I took this on a Canon Powershot G10; I'm in two minds now about charging the battery - I am sure my phone takes a better picture.
I love this building that I sometimes walk past. it's still empty, which is a pity. it would make a great open workshop for budding artisans.
The long exposure hints at the constant traffic.

Worth the poor sleep to get up and make some tea, just to see this.
Grief is love with no place to go.

To be fair, this door hasn't been maintained in years. But it's interesting to see how the varnish is flaking off in the sun.

I like this a lot. And by this time I needed a cup of tea and something to eat.
It looks thicker than what you might get at a restaurant but this is how I prefer it. It's a meal in itself.
Beetroots
Carrots
Onion
Garlic
Celery
Beef stock
Salt and pepper
serve with yoghurt or sour cream and fresh dill. And bread, of course.
