The quality is everything you expect from a cameraphone at night, but I liked the rain-streaks.

 

This was taken at the top of Coopers Hill (where they do the cheese-rolling) on a

regular tuesday-night ride with the Hot Singletrack crew.

 

We'd just ridden all the way up Green Street. Just so you know, that hurts. Stand up and you wheel-spin. Sit down and the front of the bike starts to rise, so you end up perched over the front of the saddle. Sheer brute force and competitiveness got me to the top.

In Venice, you'll see plenty of beautifully attired constables, from one of , oh, three or more different police forces that have jurisdiction in Venice. They're friendly and helpful, but seem powerless to do anything about the Vu Cumpra. I'm only making fun because I heard it all from Venetians first.

 

Part of an occasional series about what to expect when you visit Venice.

Wednesday, and a day of changed plans.

 

We were due to go to an evening event in Essex at a NT place, but we forgot I had a church tour to lead in the afternoon.

 

So, we moved the tickets to Thursday.

 

And then there is Scully. We can't really expect someone, a neighbour or friend to take on the responsibility to measure her blood sugars, administer the insulin jab and then feed her, and adjust the insulin depending on the readings.

 

Heck even for us there is a certain amount of guess work.

 

So, the only thing was for Jools to go on Thursday and me stay home and look after he cats. Scully in particular, thus leaving Wednesday free for churchcrawling and now able to go to Bridge.

 

I dropped Jools off first thing near the castle, so she could walk through Connaught Park to the Riverside Centre for her keep fit class, and get some steps in.

 

After dropping her off, I go back along Reach Road and the cliffs back home.

 

I have time for a brew, breakfast, and wash up before I have to leave for another new part of Kingsdown.

 

Off what counts as the main road into the village, down a side lane, then along a gravel private road, to a large detached house where Margaret lives.

 

She is hosting this week, and my first time here. There is a nasty flu going round, and much of the group is infected or unwell.

 

I have my crib sheet for bidding, as there are a myriad of bidding conventions. I try to get things right.

 

In fact, thanks to the sheet I do well, and so my partner and I make two tricky contracts either side of the tea break.

 

All U3A activities revolve round tea and cake. Just so you know.

 

And then it is time to head home, where Jools had just arrived from town via train and bus, from the heart of Chaplins where she's had a small breakfast, so wasn't hungry.

 

I quickly made cheese on toast with slices from the ciabatta loaf I got out to go with the soup. Had a brew, then off to Deal to collect Martina, as she is disabled and cannot drive far.

 

I make it to her house with half an hour to spare, so listen to a podcast to while away the time.

 

There'd be no point in going early as we would have to wait for the rest of the group to arrive.

 

We set off at quarter past one, and make it to Waldershare by twenty to two. You reach the church up a small muddy track, which leads to a small "car park" near the lych gate.

 

Within ten minutes, six more cars arrive, ore than possibly have ever visited the church, filling the car park.

 

I gather the group to welcome them to the church. Look at the triple gable, I say, pointing to the flint nave and brick built north and south chapels, of the same dimensions.

 

We go inside, and the church is how John Vigar describes: austere, with a high roof, Victorian Chancel. And on either side, wooden screens leading to the two chapels.

 

In the south is a large tomb with two figures on top, holding hands through eternity. It is an unusually intimate representation, not often seen.

 

In the north is a memorial so large, the chapel itself was built around it, and it fills the space.

 

On each corner are four full sized mourning women, naked of course. And above two layers with winged cherubs, also mourning.

 

Higher up, near the roof, are vases or urns, and what may be a flame, in stone, at the top.

 

It is remarkable.

 

And thankfully the group thinks the church is remarkable too.

 

I worrried that a small estate church wouldn't have enough of interest, but the memorials showed that something like this church, a place they all had driven past dozens of times over the year, was worth half a hour or anyone's time.

 

After forty five minutes, we leave, and I take Martina back to Deal, then drive back along The Strand and out through Walmer to home.

 

No roadworks.

 

Once home and after a brew, I made dinner: minted lamb, roasted vegetables, pan-fried wilted kale (I'm not a fan), and some ancient grains.

 

When I arrived home, the local fox was under the feeders munching on peanuts. He was so hungry that as I stood to watch, he just carried on eating.

 

So I went inside, got the big lens out and took a hundred or so shots.

 

It was good. Apart from the kale.

 

For the evening there was football. On the telly, WBA v Brum, and an entertaining 1-1 draw it was, whilst Liverpool lost 4-1 at home to PSV and Arsenal put Bayern to the sword, 3-0.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The church stands within the grounds of Waldershare Park and is not easy to find. Through a lychgate, in a tree-shaded churchyard, the three eastern gables may be seen. The centre one is of natural flint, whereas the outer two are of brickwork, and these sum up the charm of this church - one of contrasts. The nave was almost rebuilt in the nineteenth century and you could almost imagine it belonging to a suburban church of the 1870s. The roof is high, the walls are bare and the character rather austere. The chancel, too, has a Victorian feel with a heavy marble reredos and stencilled walls. Leading off to north and south of the chancel are the brick chapels which we noted on the outside. The south chapel is the earlier, dating from 1697, and contains the tomb chest of Susan Bertie. The same tomb also commemorates Montague, Earl of Lindsey, who was loyal to Charles I, and is noted as 'having attended his sacred Majestic to his grave and giving him a Christian burial at Windsor after his barbarous and horrid murder'. The north chapel was built in 1712 to accommodate the monument to Sir Henry Furness who built the present mansion house in the park. This monument only just fits into its chapel and rises in stages like a wedding cake, with four life-sized broken-hearted ladies at the base for starters. As a conversation piece it is unrivalled in a country church. The church is no longer used and is in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust.

WALDERSHARE

Is the next parish southward from Betshanger lastdescribed, being written in the book of Domesday, Walwaresere, and in some other antient records, both Walworthshire, and Walwareshare, taking its name most probably from the worlds, or open downs, among which it is situated. A borsholder is appointed for this parish, including the district of Apulton, at the court leet of Waldershare manor.

 

THIS PARISH is situated in a healthy country, among the high hills near the eastern boundary of the county, next the sea, from which it is distant about five miles, and near as many from Dover. It lies about a mile and an half northward of the great London road, and extends about two miles from north to south, but it is very narrow across the other way. It contains in the whole about 1000 acres of land, the rents of which are about 600l. per annum. The whole parish belongs to the earl of Guildford, except ing Southwood and Heasleden down; London close, part of Linacre court, and Appleton. There are eight houses in it, besides one in the district of Appleton, which is entirely separated from the rest of it by the parishes of Norborne and West Langdon intervening, as has been already noticed. In the southern part of it is Waldershare park, well cloathed with trees, having the house in the vale nearly in the centre, and the belvidere at the south-west corner, on high ground, with a beautiful prospect from it, the whole of it stands much in need of modern taste and improvements. The church is situated near the middle of the eastern side of the parish. At the northern boundary is Malmains farm, (the antient mansion of that family in this parish, though now only a mean farm-house, belonging to the earl of Guildford) and an open uninclosed down, called Maimage down, corruptly for Malmains down. The country here has much the same face and soil as those of the neighbouring parishes, a wild and mountainous aspect, and a poor chalky soil. There is a fair held here on WhitTuesday yearly, for toys and pedlary.

 

WALDERSHARE, at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, in the 15th year of the Conqueror's reign, was part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, the king's half-brother, of whom it was held by Ralph de Curbespine; accordingly it is thus entered in that record, under the general title of the bishop's lands:

 

In Estrei bundred. Ralph de Curbespine bolds of the bishop two sulings in Walwaresere. The arable land is . . . . In demesne there is one carucate and an half, and fourteen villeins, with two carucates and an half. Of this land, Robert has half a suling, and one carucate there. In the time of king Edward the Confessor, it was worth seven pounds and ten shillings, and afterwards fifty shillings, now seven pounds. Wluuard held it of king Edward.

 

Four years afterwards the bishop was disgraced, and all his possessions were consiscated to the crown; soon after which, upon the king's new arrangement of Dover castle, this manor, among other lands, was assigned to Gilbert Magminot, for his assistance in the defence of it, and together made up the barony of Magminot, being held by barony of Dover castle, by the service of performing ward there from time to time.

 

Of the Magminots, and their descendants the Sayes, the chief lords of the seignory, this manor was again held by the family of Malmaines, of eminent account in these parts, who were possessed of manors called after them, in Alkham, Pluckley, and Stoke; their residence in this parish likewise being called by their name. John de Malmalnes is recorded in the Battle abbey roll, as having accompanied the Conqueror to England, and to have been present at the battle of Hastings, being standard-bearer to the Norman footmen. From him descended the several branches of this family seated in different parts of this county, who were many of them men eminent for the offices of trust and honour, which they at different times held. They bore for their arms, Ermine, on a chief, gules, three right hands couped, argent; which shield is carved in stone in several places on the roof of the cloysters of Canterbury cathedral. Several of this family lie buried in the Grey Friars church, in London. From the permanency of them here, not only their mansion in this parish acquired the name of Malmaines, (fn. 1) but the manor itself became stiled in records, WALDER SHARE, alias MALMAINES.

 

From John de Malmaines above-mentioned, who first held this manor in the reign of the Conqueror, it descended down to Henry Malmaines, esq. of Waldershare, who died possessed of it in the 46th year of king Edward III. leaving an only daughter and heir Alice, but it seems she inherited only a part of this manor and estate, which she carried in marriage to Henry Holland, of Solton, near Dover, and he died possessed of her interest in it, in the 19th year of king Richard II. leaving Jane his daughter and heir, married to Thomas Goldwell, of Godington, in Great Chart, who entitled her husband to it, and from him it descended down to his grandson of the same name, who, about the beginning of king Henry VI.'s reign, alienated his part of it to John Monins, esq. who had before become possessed of the other part of this manor, by his marriage with the daughter and heir of Colby, who inherited this estate in right of his wife, daughter and heir of Thomas, son of John Malmaines, of Stoke, who was related to Henry Malmaines before-mentioned, on whose death in 46 Edward III. it descended to him, so that he became then possessed of the whole of this manor.

 

John Monins, or Monyn, as the name was sometimes spelt in antient deeds, was descended from Sir Simon de Monyn, of the castle of Mayon, in Normandy, who attended William the Conqueror in his expedition into England, and bore for his arms, Gules, three crescents, or, the coat-armour of his descendant at this time. John Monins, esq. afterwards resided at Waldershare, where he built a new mansion, about a mile south-eastward from the antient house of Malmaines, in which he afterwards resided, as did his descendants down to Sir William Monins, of Waldershare, who was created a baronet in 1611. He died in 1643, and was succeeded in title and estate by his eldest son Sir Edward Monins, bart. of Waldershare, who served the office of sheriff in the 21st year of king Charles I. and died possessed of this manor and estate in 1663, leaving five daughters his coheirs. On his death, this manor and seat devolved on his two eldest daughters and coheirs, Susan, married to Peregrine Bertie, second son of Montague, earl of Lindsey; and Jane to John, son and heir of Sir Norton Knatchbull, bart. the former of whom left two daughters and coheirs, Mary, married first to Anthony Henley, esq. of the Grange, in Hampshire, father of the lord chancellor, earl of Northington; and secondly, to Henry Bertie, third son of James, earl of Abingdon; and Bridget to John, lord Powlet, afterwards created earl Powlet. On the death of Susan, the eldest daughter and coheir above-mentioned, late wife of Peregrine Bertie, deceased, who seems at her death to have been possessed of the whole of this manor and estate, it became vested in her heirs and trustees, for the use of her two daughters and coheirs, and they, in the reign of king William and queen Mary, joined in the sale of it to Sir Henry Furnese, bart. of Waldershare, who rebuilt this seat, after a design, as it is said, of Inigo Jones, and inclosed a park round it, which he planted in an elegant manner with avenues, according to the taste of that time.

 

Sir Henry Furnese was the eldest son of Henry Furnele, of Sandwich. His next brother, George Furnese, was in the East-India Company's service, whose son Henry Furnese was of Gunnersbury house. He died in 1712, leaving by his first wife Anne, daughter of Robert Brough, esq. one son Sir Robert Furnese, bart. His second wife was Matilda, widow of Anthony Balam, esq. by whom he had a daughter Matilda, married to Richard Edgcumbe, afterwards created lord Edgcumbe.

 

Sir Henry Furnese, the eldest son, became a capital merchant, and by his industry and abilities rose to eminence, wealth, and honours. Being always active, and zealous in support of the Revolution, he was favourably distinguished by king William, and the Whigs in general, and the ministry patronizing him, it gave him weight and consequence, and served to enable him in the various branches of trade which he carried on, the more speedily to acquire those riches which he afterwards accumulated. He served the office of sheriff of London in 1701, and was in 1707 created a baronet. At his death he bequeathed a handsome legacy for charitable uses to the several parishes in Sandwich, as may be further seen in the description of that town. He bore for his arms, Argent, a talbot bound, seiant, within a bordure, sable

 

Sir Robert Furnese, bart. his son, resided here, and died possessed of this manor and seat in 1733, being at that time knight of the shire for this county. He had been three times married, first to Anne, daughter of Anthony Ealam, esq. by whom he had a daughter Anne, who married the hon. John St. John, second but at length only surviving son of Henry, viscount St. John, and after his death lord viscount St. John; Sir Robert married secondly, the hon. Arabella Watson, one of the daughters of Lewis, lord, afterwards earl of Rockingham, by whom he had Henry, his successor in title and estates; and Catherine, afterwards married to Lewis, earl of Rockingham; lastly, he married lady Anne Shirley, daughter of Robert Shirley, earl Ferrers, by whom he left an only surviving daughter Selina, married to Edward Dering, afterwards Sir Edward Dering, bart. Sir Henry Furnese, bart. survived his father but a short time, dying abroad in 1735, under age, and unmarried, and this, among the rest of his estates, by virtue of the limitations in his grandfather's will, became vested in his three sisters, as the daughters and coheirs of his father Sir Robert Furnese, in equal shares and proportions, in coparcenary in tail general. After which, by a decree of the court of chancery, at the instance of the parties, anno 9 king George II. a writ of partition was agreed to, which was confirmed by an act passed specially for this purpose next year, by which this manor and seat, with Malmaines and other premises in this parish, were allotted to Catherine, wife of Lewis, earl of Rockingham, who died s.p. in 1745, leaving her surviving, who then became possessed of this estate again in her own right. She afterwards married Francis, earl of Guildford, by whom she had no issue, and dying in 1766, devised it, among the rest of hereestates, to her surviving husband, who died in 1790, and was buried at Wroxton, in Oxfordshire, beside the countess his late wife. He was the only surviving son of Francis, lord Guildford, and by the death of William, lord North and Grey, succeeded as his heir to the former of those titles, the latter becoming extinct, bearing the title of. Lord North and Guildford; and on April 8, 1752, he was further advanced to the title of Earl of Guildford, in Surry. He married first Lucy, daughter of George, earl of Halifax, by whom he had Frederick, who became his heir; his second wife was Elizabeth, relict of George, viscount Lewisham, by whom he had two daughters, whom he survived, one of whom, Louisa, married to John Peyto, lord Willoughby de Broke; and a son Brownlow, now lord bishop of Winchester, who married Miss Banister. He married thirdly, Katherine, Countess of Rockingham, as above mentioned, who died s.p. Upon the earl of Guildford's death in 1790, in his 87th year, he was succeeded in titles and estate by his eldest son Frederick, lord North, and knight of the garter, who became (the second) earl of Guildford, a nobleman well known as having continued the prime minister of this country during the late unhappy American war. He died in 1792, in London, being at that time lordwarden of the cinque ports and constable of Dover castle, lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum of Somersetshire, chancellor of the university of Oxford, recorder of Gloucester and Taunton, &c. He was buried in the family vault at Wroxton; the whole university attending the funeral procession with great solemnity as it passed through Oxford. His Lordship married Anne, daughter of George Speke, esq. of Dillington, in Somersetshire, by whom he left three sons and three daughters; the former were, George-Augustus, Frederick, and Francis; the latter were Caroline, the eldest, married to Sylvester Douglas, esq. and Anne and Charlotte who are unmarried. The eldest son, GeorgeAugustus, succeeded him in title, and in this estate and seat of Waldershare, being the present right hon. the earl of Guildford, who first married Miss Hobart, daughter of the earl of Buckinghamshire. She died in 1794, leaving only an infant daughter Maria.—He married secondly, in 1796, the daughter of Mr. Thomas Coutts, banker, of London, by whom he has two daughters.

 

In the house of Waldershare was a portrait of Sir Robert Furnese, by Carlo Maretti, painted at Rome, and there is now a portrait of him there, marked F. T. his hand resting on a book, intitled Monumenta Romana. There are there likewise two family pictures by Sir Godfrey Kneller; the one of Sir Robert Furnese with his first wife and their daughter; the other of Sir Robert and his second wife, with their son Henry and daughter Catherine. (fn. 2)

 

A court leet and court baron is held for this manor of Waldershare.

 

The earl of Guildford bears for his arms, Azure, a lion passant, or, between three fleurs de lis, argent. For his supporters, Two dragons, sable, scaled, ducally gorged and chained, or; and for his crest, on a wreath of its colours— A dragon's head erased, sable, scaled, ducally gorged and chained, or. Motto, La vertue est la senle noblesse.

 

APULTON is a district esteemed to be within this parish, though separated from the rest of it by a part of the parishes of Norborne and West Langdon in tervening. It is situated northward from the other part of Waldershare, and appears by the survey of Domesday to have been at that time part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in it:

 

The same Ralph (de Curbespine) holds of the bishop, Apletone. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is . . . . . In demesne there are two carucates, with six borderers. In the time of king Edward the Consessor, it was worth one hundred shillings, and afterwards ten shillings, now forty shillings. Ascored held, it of king Edward.

 

Four years after the taking of the above survey, the bishop of Baieux was disgraced, and all his possessions were confiscated to the crown; soon after which, both these manors were granted by the king to Gil bert Magminot, for his assistance in the defence of Dover castle, being held by the service of ward to it, and with other lands made up the barony of Magminot. Of the family of Magminot and their heirs, these manors were again held by the eminent family of Malmains, who continued in the possession of them, down to Henry Malmains who joining with Simon, earl of Leicester, in rebellion against king Henry III. would have forfeited all his lands, had not the abbot of the adjoining monastery of Langdon interceded for him and gained his pardon; for which service his descendant, Sir John Malmains, through gratitude, gave the two manors of Apleton and Southwold, by his will, after the death of Lora his wife, who held them in dower, to the above-mentioned monastery, (fn. 3) and they both continued in the abbot's possession till the Ist year of king Richard III. when the abbot exchanged Southwood with Robert Monins, esq. for other lands elsewhere; but Appleton was, on the suppression of the abbey, in the 27th year of king Henry VIII surrendered into the hands of the crown, together with the rest of the possessions of the monastery; and the king seized on Southwood, then in the possession of Edward Monins, esq. as part of them, and unjustly alienated from it, and afterwards granted both Apleton and Southwold, among other premises, in his 29th year, to the archbishop of Canterbury, who in the Ist year of queen Elizabeth exchanged Appleton again with the crown, but he retained Southwood, which has ever since continued part of the possessions of that see, and remains so at this time.

 

BUT THE MANOR OF APPLETON, or Appulton, as it is sometimes written, was afterwards granted to Sir Edwin Sandys, of Northborne, in whose descendants it continued, till it was at length passed away to Wickenden; and Robert Wickenden, gent. of Dover, died possessed of it in 1686, and by his will gave it to his son of the same name, whose descendant Mr. Nicholas Wickenden, of the same place, dying without issue about sixty years ago, devised it to his servants, who sold it to Mr. Samuel Billingsley, of London, whose widow marrying Richard Crickett, esq. entitled him to the possession of it, and he continues the present owner. There is not any court held for this manor.

 

There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly maintained are about six, casually four.

 

THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.

 

The church, which is dedicated to All Saints, is a small mean building, consisting of a body and chancel, having a wooden turret at the west end, in which hangs one bell. It is almost overgrown with ivy. There are two additional buildings on each side the chancel, each of which communicates with the church by a door broken through the walls of it. That on the north side has in it a most magnisicent pyramidical monument, erected by Sir Robert Furnese, bart. in memory of his father Sir Henry Furnese. Four female figures, in white marble, as large as life, support the bale; on the four sides of which are inscriptions to the memories of Sir Robert his father, his sister Matilda, his three wives, his son Henry, and his daughters Anne and Catherine, all buried here; the whole finely executed by Mr. Greene, of Camberwell. In the building, on the south side, is a large altartomb, on which are the figures of a man and woman, made out of all proportion, and conspicuously absurd, and an inscription to the memory of the honorable Susan Bertie, fourth daughter and coheir of Sir Edw. Monins, bart. of Waldershare, and wife to the hon. Peregrine Bertie. Over it are banners, pendants, &c. In the chancel, against the south wall, is a monument for Sir Edward Monins, and Elizabeth his wife, obt. 1602; also for Sir William Monins, bart. of Waldershare, his son and heir, obt. 1642; and for his wife Jane, daughter of Roger Twysden, esq. of Roydonhall, in Peckham, in Kent, obt. 1640, and two of their children. Near it are two grave-stones, pointing out the burying-places of Sir William Monins and his wife, lady Jane; and for Edward, eldest son of Sir Edward Monins, bart. obt. 1640. In the east window are painted several female figures, which seem singularly indecent, at any rate very improper, for the place. In the body is a memorial for Laurence Wright, A. M. vicar of this parish and Elmsted, obt. 1707; arms, A chevron, between three batchets. A memorial for Robert Greenall, A. M. late vicar of this parish and rector of Blackmanstone, and curate of Nonington and Wimlingswold, obt. 1770.

 

¶The church of Waldershare was antiently appendant to the manor, and continued so, till one of the family of Malmaines gave it to the neighbouring abbey of West Langdon, to which it was appropriated by archbishop Walter Reynolds, in the 16th year of Edward II (fn. 4) In which state it continued till the suppression of that monastery, in the 27th year of king Henry VIII. when it came with the rest of the possessions of it, into the king's hands, whence this appropriation, together with the advowson of the vicarage, was afterwards granted to the archbishop of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it continues at this time. The appropriation is demised on a beneficial lease. The Monins's were formerly lesses of it, afterwards the Furneses, and now the earl of Guildford.

 

In the time of king Edward III. there were of the endowment of this church, one messuage, one garden, and nine acres of arable. It is valued in the king's books at 5l. 8s. but is now a discharged living, of the clear yearly value of twenty-five pounds.

 

In 1588 here were thirty-three communicants. In 1640 here were the like number, and it was valued at thirty-eight pounds. Archbishop Juxon augmented this vicarage twenty pounds per annum, anno 14 king Charles II. There is no vicarage house, and only one acre of glebe land, adjoining to the church-yard; but by the king's books it appears there were formerly two acres.

How to tell the world you are expecting another baby!

Jen CYK Photography

www.jencyk.com

a lost girl, an empty boat and a homeless dog. all met up in the beach side that afternoon. Seems no related at all, but all expecting someone or something. we always do.

I found the rest of the Pocky stash at Korean Korner, however I forgot to get the kind I got last time, so before the orgy shot I need to go back and get that. But until then it will be individual shots like the original.

But surely all these items would be expected on a road?

The Emma Hamilton, a dead pub in WImbledon Chase.

 

92 87 0002 008-6 sits stored waiting for ECR to get a new contract.

 

This is a Sub Type G2000-3 built by Vossloh, Kiel [D] for what was Angel Trains, (now Alpha Trains).

 

With little of the expected work, these loks were often stored or sub leased out before being handed back to Alpha Trains.

 

92 87 0002 007-8 (Works No. 5001640 was built 2007 and seems to have been immediately (?) leased to ECR.

 

Loks-auskiel have it delivered on 22/10/2008 to Angel Trains, but also has photographs of it in ECR livery in 2007 on the lok’s page.

 

So either the lease date is correct and it was another ECR G2000 or the lease date is incorrect.

 

With the lok’s originally not carrying UIC’s, it is quite possible that the photographer mislabelled the lok. Quite possible as the only ID would be the small worksplate as it zoomed past.

 

So “Leased to ECR either 2007 or 2008 through to February 2018.

 

It was definitely sub-leased out while with ECR, though dates are not clear (common with French based loks due to lack of information).

 

Firstly, sub-leased to EPF - Europorte France SAS, Lille [F] (noted with them on 12/09/2012).

 

And was next sub-leased to ETMF SAS - Entreprise de Transport de Matériel Ferroviaire, Boissise-le-Roi [F] followed by a direct lease after ECR handed it back.

 

Unfortunately, there is no good source I have found in France for private loks.

 

And no one seems to be supplying the info to the great team at loks-aus-kiel.de for their database.

 

The last photo they have of it is 2018, while Flickr doesn’t have any photos of it at all, except mine.

 

I am aware from an official French UIC database that it was one of 16 G2000s with a VKM of F-EMTF on 30/08/2022, and that it was officially authorised for France and Belgium.

 

But nothing since then.

"Julieta en la Tierra de las Niñas" ha sido desarrollado por científicas y comunicadoras de los centros FONDAP CONICYT, Centro de Ciencia del Clima y la Resiliencia (CR)2 y Centro de Excelencia en Geotermia de Los Andes (CEGA) de la Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas de la Universidad de Chile (FCFM) y del Instituto Milenio de Ecología y Biodiversidad (IEB).

 

El proyecto busca ser un aporte para incentivar la inserción de mujeres en el ámbito científico desde la infancia. La participación femenina en carreras científicas en Chile alcanza solo a un 32%, de acuerdo a datos del Instituto de Estadística de la UNESCO. En un análisis de los proyectos FONDECYT presentados en 2012 y 2014, apenas un 23% fueron liderados por mujeres, revelando la brecha de género que presenta Chile en relación a las ciencias.

 

"Entre muchas otras inequidades en nuestro país, la inequidad de género conduce a limitar la presencia de mujeres en las así llamadas ciencias “duras”. Este impedimento no es explícito y se manifiesta desde la infancia en sesgos culturales que atribuyen a cada género roles y expectativas diferenciadas. Este proyecto trabajará acercando a las niñas a la ciencia a través del juego, contribuyendo a romper el sesgo cultural de que niñas y mujeres no hacen ciencia» dijo Laura Gallardo, Directora del (CR)2 y académica de la FCFM.

 

"¿Qué juguete creado en Chile actualmente estimula la curiosidad científica de nuestras niñas? Fue una de las interrogantes con que nació este proyecto. Queremos despertar el interés científico, motivar a las niñas a realizar observaciones, preguntas, mediciones del entorno y luego registrarlas a través del juego, como alternativa a los juegos del té y planchado. Julieta en la Tierra de las Niñas, además, está inspirado en nuestra identidad natural: nuestra cordillera, volcanes, flora y fauna nativa, y nuestro especial clima», señaló Sofía Otero, encargada de comunicaciones del CEGA y directora del proyecto.

 

"Julieta en la Tierra de las Niñas" fue adjudicado en el XIX Concurso de Proyectos Explora CONICYT de Valoración y Divulgación de la Ciencia y la Tecnología, 2015.

I wasn't expecting the fog to be so thick or last so long when I planned a sunrise photoshoot. Two hours later it was starting to clear a bit, so I decided to fly the quadcopter to see what was visible. The fog bank was thicker than 100 m, but patches were clearing and I was able to grab a panorama of the old Walker Sawmill.

 

This 360° aerial panorama was stitched from 26 photographs with PTGUI Pro and touched up in Affinity Photo and Aperture.

There is so much love for Kelley and Marvin's first baby. Excited to share more from their beautiful session.

I expect Lucy took the photo!

 

According to some notes I have written on the back, it was at Mt Martha guest house on the way to Rosebud. The car was loaned for the three day honeymoon. I think by the APC Asprin on similar named family..

 

This copy, with the emulsion damage, is in Trish's school family tree assignment. Ella just stuck overlay film over them, to stop some of the material from falling out.

 

Many of the shots have been removed so I could scan them, and store in a photo box, or the large boxes...

 

I just thought, 08-12-12 why Dad bought Mum an old Vauxhaul in about 1962..

see it below...

  

… on my Mother's side, Mum had three sisters and four brothers who provided another four Aunts, half of who I knew very well. I saw Dorothy very often while they lived in Sydney. Dot looked after us, as well as she could in 1964 while Mum and Dad sailed to Europe. We were away on many weekends in the Vanguard on caving trips.

A garage sale find, freshened up with two coats of semi-gloss and perfect for my pyrex. Moved into the kitchen only hours before the baby shower started.

i never showed pics in rl of photography i do, 2 months ago i had a pregnancy shoot to do for my cousin. She was about to pop the baby 3 days later.

Love is something which many people find in Second Life, but I never expected to find it doing the "Down the Chimney Hunt." In December, 2009, I met two people as a result of that hunt who have become my best friends in SL, Paco Pooley and Manuel Ormidale. Paco and I met while hunting and shortly after he introduced me to Manuel.

 

Paco had already started to create clothes. Manuel was starting to become a scripter. And I just had started to blog. We were complete noobs and liked each other immediately. The landlord I had at this time was always searching for scripters, so I introduced Paco and Manuel to her. However, instead of scripting for her, he and Paco decided to rent from her and became my neighbors. By Valentine's 2010, they were ready to open their store, 22769,and it worked well from the start. Both of them have developed into great designers, builders, posemakers, scripters but more importantly for me our friendship continued to grow and they became my best friends.

 

More people started to love their work and their store grew until they moved to their own sim. But 22769 was always more than just a store for clothes. Paco and Manuel love art and when they had the space they opened their own gallery, Lust4Art, which they invited me to manage for them. Managing the gallery gave me the perfect opportunity to surprise them with a special exhibition: 22769 in Blogs.

 

For this show I chose bloggers from the Feeds as well as from the 22769 Flickr group and asked them for their favorite picture of an outfit from 22769. The responses were overwhelming! To be able to surprise the two of them with the exhibition, I asked a friend whom they didn't know to pretend to

be an artist who would show his works at Lust4Art but who wanted to prepare his exhibition. So they rezzed a copy of the gallery for him to set up, and while they slept, I put the pictures into the gallery and decorated the building.

 

To see that the surprise worked made me really happy!

No sábado a Thiana recebeu algumas amigas para o Chá de Bebê da pequena Stella!

Entrando no sétimo mês ela estava radiante, como sempre, e esbanjando felicidade!

A Thi sempre foi uma amiga muito divertida, alegre e pra quem o tempo ruim dificilmente chega - ela não deixa! Ver ela grávida é uma alegria enorme e tenho certeza que os dois serão pais super corujas!

 

Parabéns, amiga!

 

Em breve mais lá no blog!

Explosion was a tad larger than I thought it would be, but I still like the shot. Matawan did a great job.

But don't expect to buy traditional photographic supplies here.

I expected Patches to kid last Friday, so I wasn’t too far off when she spit out the kid last night. When I checked on them this morning she was dirty and damp but up and active. I wiped her off and weighed her at 10# 4oz. Nice and big with good Boer coloring. I dried her some more with a hair drier and put her back out with the Mother who was wondering where she went. She proceeded to keep everything else away from it but the donkey, which tried to keep her away from her kid, until called off. Her kid is every bit as big as Dots two three week old kids, and maybe filled out better. I would much rather have a young Mother have one kid and raise it up good than have two and not have enough milk to keep them fat and sassy. This is the second kidding for both Missy and Patches and both had one which will grow fast and do real well. Where Dot is on her first kidding with two and its up in the air how they will do, they sure won’t grow fast.

Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
