A triangulation point, or trig point, consists of a concrete or stone pillar, typically around 1.2 meters high, with a brass plate on top. This plate, often called a "spider," has three arms and a central depression for mounting a surveying instrument like a theodolite. There should be a plug in the middle, to prevent ingress of dirt and water that could interfere with the theodolite - this one is missing (probably taken as a souvenir).
Elevated workers' terrace on Moor Gate.
I'm mystified by all the Halloween hullabaloo. Today is Samhain. Tomorrow is All Souls.
Reflect on the dead, and revel in life. And don't take anything too seriously, baby
My replacement coffee machine has bigger baskets than my old one. My old tamper has been rattling in the drawer for a while. What to do? I can't stand waste.
Meet my new garlic press 😅
The former main post office at Blackpool. It was sold to a developer who is supposed to be turning it into an hotel. It has stood like this for several years,
My fave barista is off sick so I am wandering around looking for an acceptable alternative coffee. I like how this place doesn't even try to do latte art. Tastes good. too.
Henry VIII of England got this nickname because the silver content in the coins he issued was reduced towards the end of his reign, and the copper underneath would show through, particularly on the protruding nose of his portrait on the coins.
What is really surprising is to see his image on a window in a Roman Catholic church. This is possibly the only one.
This really isn't good enough.
There are several British Standards that this footpath fails to meet.
Massive social care costs to councils means that there is little money left to maintain the streets.
This really isn't good enough!
Seen on my walk from work. All these ceramics are made in a traditional pottery at Stoke-on-Trent,home of England's potteries. If you have some old British plates and wotnot, likely they were made in Stoke.

The butterfly is one of the symbols for ADHD. Like many people with ADHD, I wonder if she is wondering what she is meant to be doing next. It is often a feeling that is so overwhelming that one ends up doing nothing at all.
My kind neighbor brought me this for lunch.
It was spicy and full of surprises, a kind of surf n turf which was just what I needed today.
Good neighbors are worth more than gold.
Top tip - never reheat rice, it's not worth the risk of food poisoning. So, of course, for safety, I ate the lot 😂
Do you get migraines or support someone who does? This is worth reading. Personally, changing lifestyle reduced their frequency, but migraines still happen. It's not drama, it's genetic.
I can't remember seeing a picture of scrambled eggs recently, so here's brunch, this gray and rainy Saturday.
On my own wholemeal toast, and garnished with tomato that I've preserved in oil and a smash of garlic.
A drizzle of Worcestershire sauce and no tomato sauce needed. Bonza!
It's steeper than it looks. A handy ginnel between Judges Lodgings and the castle. In old times a judge could hear a case, pass sentence and still be back in time for elevenses without breaking into a trot.
Along from the church cum pub that's for sale we arrive at this dis used relic from 1887. I like the look of it but it needs a bit more tlc than i can muster.
World shortage of macaroni makes me substitute with spirale.
Add nutmeg for depth of flavor.
For 40. Less than 1 Euro per serve.
Comfort in a plate 😅
Here is the blitzed mix, with the resereved part added back. The peas have broken down to produce a creamy matrix.
red apple, carrot, 12 almonds, tsp cinnamon, a bit of water
full of fiber and vitamins and stuff
low calorie

This is not the prettiest thing I have shown you, but it is one of the tastiest. Slow-cooked overnight, I placed the vegetables as the bottom of the pot and the lamb at the top, and finished wit some sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Salt marsh lamb (l'agneau pré-salé) is in season from around July to November. It's special because the pasture where these sheep graze is covered by the tide twice a day; it doesn't make the meat taste salty, but the grasses and samphire on which they graze makes for a sweet, light and fragrant meat. There is noticeably less fat to this meat or remaining in the jus!
This lamb came from a farm on the Lune Estuary which is a short cycle ride from here.
Next time I will get a Lamb Henry (? I hear you say) and see if I can make a more attractive presentation!
A room without plants is a dead space to me. So getting this pelargonium to do anything other than keel over has been a great satisfaction. The flowers just appeared overnight.
Re-potting all my plants a fortnight ago seems to be what they all wanted. The echevaria has done so well it produced 6 pups, which are now in troughs.
I don't have a garden and window-boxes appear to be verboten, so this will have to do.
The tide returns and the little passenger ferry makes its way across, executing a perfect ferry glide against the incoming current.
Add a load of stock and bring to boil for a few minutes, then simmer for 30 more. I used an immersion blender to break up the kale. A slack handful of salt was needed and I brightened it with a good glug of vinegar. More richness and protein from a tub of Greek yogurt to finish.
