It was so good to be back in Lincoln for a weekend after missing it last year. We love Lincoln, it's such a beautiful city.
Saturday started out pretty grey but dry enough to get out and enjoy the day. I spent a lovely afternoon in the Arboretum - what a beautiful place!
Brayford wharf. The lilies were in flower!
On 9 May 2015, the European Union celebrates Europe Day in its Member States and around the world. To mark the occasion, the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz and Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the Commission (HRVP) will open the EU Pavilion of EXPO Milan and exchange views with over 1 000 citizens to hear their ideas and views about the EU.
How sustainable can our future be? What is the EU role in promoting a safe and efficient use of natural resources? The Citizens' Dialogue will showcase how the EU takes up these challenges.
The theme of the World Expo 2015 in Milan Expo, "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life", is of crucial importance for the European Union.
Following a flag-raising ceremony with the EU anthem to mark the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, President Schulz and HR/VP Federica Mogherini, will exchange views with students and EXPO visitors on how the EU should look in the future, how it can face the challenges of sustainability and what its role in the international arena should be. They will discuss on the European Union, its policies regarding sustainability, and the role of Europe in the world.
The debate will be moderated by Monica Maggioni, Director of RaiNews24. Citizens can debate in person or submit comments using the Twitter hashtag #EUdialogues.
After the Citizens' Dialogue, President Schulz and HR/VP Mogherini will officially open the EU Pavilion.

I had a lovely meal out with my dear friend Andrew. Once again we went to Hitchcocks vegetarian restaurant. This time the theme was Italian and also Caribbean - absolutely delicious as it always is!
Not my hero, just the long standing image of David. I've been hypnotized by this building and sign since I opened it in 1993.
My photo odyssey in Las Vegas was sparked by the Pyramid and Copperfield persona. We live in ironic times.

Sunday night we went to see our lovely and so talented friends Smooth Operator playing in Hedon.
We went for delicious food at the Camerton pub beforehand and even managed dessert before heading to see the gig.
Helen (the singer in Smooth Operator) even borrowed my Orinoco womble to wear while she was singing Wombling Merry Christmas, ha ha!

My first LFF since October 2023 and we had a great time.
Saturday night we went out for pie at Pieminister then away from our usual places. We went down Call Lane to Call Lane Social, where they have a tiki bar upstairs.
We had a brilliant night! Met loads of lovely people and stayed in the one venue all night. Very unusual for us to do that.

Plese comment!!!!! This is my first humerous picture of them so PLEASE comment and tell me what you think!!!!!!
My original comment about this high cross read as follows: As you walk along a lonely country lane from the LUAS tram stop at Laughanstown to the old church at Tully the first thing of note that you will see is a well preserved high cross. The cross was saved from destruction by James Grehan in the later part of the nineteenth century. The road next to the cross was being lowered and James Grehan had this small wall built and the cross placed upon it at it's original height.
Today it is nearly the end of 2017 and I have just realised that Dublin [Greater Dublin] is now changing faster than I can photograph the changes and as a result I really do need to review my programme for 2018. I think that the changes are more rapid than in the Celtic Tiger period.
Today as the sunlight was magical I decided to use my 15mm Voigtlander with my new Sony A7RIII body and I was more than a little bit surprised by the results. I am now convince that the Sony A7RIII is very much superior to the A7RII. Also while I was inclined to avoid using the Voigtlander 15mm until now I must confess that I was really impressed by it when combined with the A7RIII.
Every time I publish photographs of Laughanstown I receive mail advising me that I made a spelling error and that the name of the area is Loughlinstown. I am one hundred percent certain that there is no tram stop named Loughlinstown but to be fair I cannot blame anyone for being confused as it could well be argued that Laughanstown is in Loughlinstown.
Today, I met a very helpful lady on the tram who was convinced that I was totally confused about my destination. Even when I showed her photographs of the old church and graveyard she was not at all convinced that I was not confused.
I think that I last visited the area about a year ago so I was not really expecting to see any changes. In the past I was able to access the historic sites via a narrow country lane. Today I was a bit disappointed to discover that access to a really old historic cross was barred because of a major redevelopment. I met a gentleman, walking his dog, and was surprised to discover that he was East European [he look like a local farmer and I suspect that he actually was a farmer] but he explained to me that the area was being redeveloped as a public park with a major road passing through it and that I could only gain access to the site from Carrikmines. As the sunset was approaching I decided that it was best to come back at a later date.
[UPDATE... Further Research Resulted In The Following Information]
Tully Park is located at the centre of the Cherrywood development, and the park itself is centred on the ruins of the Tully Church and Graveyard. Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park.
Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections.
Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone which includes a large play area for kids, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns, meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
Tully Park will be located beside a primary and secondary school. These schools and the local community will be able to avail of the outdoor recreational facilities and open space within Tully Park.
