Gone to the charity shop. I used it 3 times and the rest of the time it hogged cupboard space. An immersion blender and a nutribullet do everything that I need if a motorized chopper upper.
The British General Post Office held the monopoly on telephone services for the whole country, except Hull, until 1969.
With fewer people having landlines than before, I wonder what is under here.
This was my first view, looking up Radical Steps. Flaring sun ...
I used my hand as an improvised lens hood to produce the previous image. But this one has a certain charm, I think.
The apple smoothie is supplemented with seeded toast with a good coverage of local honey. So, additional goodness, including selenium, and natural antibiotic action.
Crystal glasses have gone out of fashion like crystal accents have. I bought 4 of these lovely whiskey glasses for a pound.
Makes a fun filter, too 😁
I just noticed this is off center. Does anyone care?
Getting itself ready for 'the Visit' is this lovely Jerusalem sage.
I might have a few leaves for salad when they've gone!
Instead of the main road, you can use a ginnel to get to Williamson Park that retraces the route used by the quarry workers in the 19th century. Unexpectedly I saw the back of the Ashton Memorial.
The Ashton Memorial is, by chance, close to the mathematical center of Great Britain, if you exclude the Isle of Man. To paraphrase a favorite actor, "not a lot of people know that."
Not a measure but an infuser. Does anyone make these anymore? No worries about polypropylene glues or bleaching. Just fill it with tea and make a delicious cuppa.
Scraping my memory of database design.
I think this could do with more fruit next time.
This is nice with a generous spread of butter and a cup of tea.
On such a day as this, even the glowering mediaeval fortress and former prison looks benign. The 15th century gate house looks almost welcoming.
I was given these over a month ago and they still look fresh. Every sight of them is a delight.
The water has a teaspoon of sugar and a soluble aspirin added to it. I've topped up with plain water each week.
Standing above my sink, there's a waft of steam from the washing up bowl once or twice a day.
New Zealand flax, Phormium tenax. Native to Aotearoa/New Zealand. It was a pleasant surprise to see it growing in a front garden.
This is a Coade stone that was removed from one of the last three remaining public dispensaries and placed above the door to the infirmary.
Coade stone is an interesting substance developed in the 18th century that consisted of clay, terracota, silicates and glass. It would have been molded and then fired in a kiln for several days to produce this fine relief. I believe it depicts the Good Samaritan tending to the man who had been set upon by robbers and left for dead by several passersby.

My local used bookshop had this in the window. I'm very fond of Elmer and his stories.
This is a relatively modern rotary egg beater. This one was bought in 1962 by a lovely lady who gave it to me today - she is downsizing her kitchen and thought I might like it. Truth is, I have been looking for one for ages!
This device was invented by Willis Johnson, an African-American, in 1884. Read more, here:

Mirror Lab Pro on a Galaxy Note9. Cloud photo opened to preset filter number 43 called Kaleidoscope 2.
In the central hall of the museum is the large organ, originally built in 1901. A free public recital is given daily. The acoustic of the hall worked well for me.
Lancaster Castle is old. It's been a fortress, a prison, a court, execution site, and now tourist attraction. There's a pretty good cafe, too 😄
A bee visits some common ragwort.
This plant is potentially lethal to horse and cattle but is the natural feeding plant for the cinnabar moth, whose numbers are down considerably in the last few years. This particular plant was also full of bees doing their pollination job. Humans should not touch this plant either as it can cause rashes and other irritations.
As I stood next to it in the sunshine, there was the most amazing smell of honey coming from it.
