I wasn't expecting this switch near W. Main Street to be in working condition, but it appears to be. It is not spiked shut. So I am guessing that on rare occasions trains still operate here, and use the western siding here that runs alongside the building (to make deliveries?) even though it is overgrown at the moment. Continuing to the north (to the right on this photo to where I was standing in the previous photo), you might fit a locomotive and one freight car on the rails before track disappears into the underbrush.

On the 11th April 2018 I visited Hythe village for the very first time. Not really knowing what to expect I found it a very beautiful village on the banks of the Southampton water. Hythe is a town near Southampton, Hampshire. It is located by the shore of Southampton Water, and has a ferry service connecting it to Southampton. Hythe has a small shopping area, a pier, and a very picturesque marina for yachts.
The name Hythe means landing place or haven. Hythe is recorded in a Parliamentary roll from 1293. The Hythe ferry to Southampton is marked on a map by Christopher Saxton of 1575, and on a map by John Harrison in 1788. Hythe was part of the parish of Fawley, although it became a separate parish in 1841. The current church, of Saint John the Baptist, was erected in 1874. It is of red brick with Bath Stone dressings. There were at one time even stocks in the village.
Thanks in part to the British Power Boat Company and it’s excellent access to the English Channel, during World War II Hythe was used as a port for the little ships of the Royal Navy as they were then known, the Motor Torpedo Boats and the RAF Air Sea Rescue Boats. In 1960, The Hovercraft Development Company and Sir Christopher Cockerell, who was the founder, moved to Hythe, he did in fact live in one of the houses near to the marina. There was also a small Royal Air Force base in Hythe known as RAF Hythe. Until its closure in September 2006 it was used by the United States Army to service and maintain watercraft.
Hythe was a village up to the 1950’s, but the expansion of Fawley Refinery, now closed, led to a demand for more houses for workers, and Hythe and Dibden Purlieu were allowed to expand into a small town. In 1983, following the growth of Hythe, the parish of Dibden was renamed to Hythe and Dibden, to reflect the importance of Hythe as a new focal point of the Parish
Hythe has a small shopping area clustered around the High Street, which includes a Waitrose Supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and various small independent retail shops and cafes. The Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry operates across Southampton Water to Southampton, and is the oldest working pier train in the world. Hythe's position makes it a good viewing point for watching ocean liners arriving and departing at the port of Southampton, which attracts ship spotters to the area. Hythe has a marina, at which a large number of yachts and boats are moored. Large and expensive houses are situated around the marina, overlooking the waterside. This is controlled by large lock gates at the entrance leading out to Southampton Water.
I had unfinished business in Much Hadham, Herts, so I returned to the church. I found the two Henry Moore sculptures which I had missed on an earlier visit.
***
Much Hadham is a lovely church being much larger than one would expect for its village setting. The church guidebook acknowledges this and points out that the site was owned by the Bishops of London since some date after 952 AD when it was gifted by Saxon Queen Ethelfleda in her will - first to her sister and her brother-in-law Brithnoth, the alderman of Essex - and then to the Bishop after her relative's deaths. I think this is same Brithnoth (spelled variously) who died leading the Saxon resistance against the Vikings at the Battle of Maldon in 991 - see my Maldon church set earlier.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157630026001994/ to see the full set.
A Bishops' Palace was built nearby and the presence of that palace, and the desire of various London bishops for a more substantial church, led to the construction of the present church which the guidebook admits would not look out of place in a well-to-do town like Ware or Hertford. The building is 121 feet long and the tower is topped with a stiletto-like thin spire called a 'Hertfordshire Spike'.
Dedicated to St Andrew, the present church was almost certainly a Saxo-Norman site but nothing survives today earlier than about 1225. Frustratingly no documents survive before the 19th century as the records should have been in Fulham Palace's archives and should have been transferred to the Guildhall Library in London. Fulham Palace is the main London home of the Bishops of London. An on-site investigation has revealed three phases of construction which - for argument's sake - have been called 13th, 14th and 15th century. It is not possible to ascribe accurate dates to these phases (so far) but future dendrochronology could be used to date the roof timbers with some accuracy and might result in a clearer architectural history.
The oldest part of the church is a weathered door which has now been moved inside and is thought to date to about 1225. It was moved about 100 years later and cut down to fit. Sometime after 1225 the chancel was greatly expanded and this may have been enlarged to allow the bishop and his chaplains to carry out the elaborate rituals which would not fit into a narrow Norman-style chancel. This chancel is Early English in style. Some time later the expansion of the nave was commenced (say 1240-1250) with the building of the south aisle. The first three arches on the south side set the scale for this work and may have been the work of a London mason supplied by the Bishop. This enlargement work continued until around 1280 with two more simpler arches being built on the south side.
Moving into the 14th century (the Decorated style) windows were improved and the north aisle was commenced. In common with many other churches in England the Black Death, in the 1340s, would have brought a halt to any other work as a substantial proportion of the population died along with many skilled artisans. In some English churches it is possible to see where this work halted during the plague. Work at Much Hadham restarted in the Perpendicular style (1390 to 1450). The 90-foot tall west tower carries the arms of Bishop Braybrooke (died 1404) so his arms may date that work at least. Also added were the south porch, a clerestory to the nave and the enlarged east window.
The main furnishings of the church such as the font, some pews, the screen and stalls also date to the 15th century. The pulpit looks like it was made from medieval material but was probably constructed during in the reign of Elizabeth I.
Not much going on out there these days, but if you persevere something interesting always turns up. This little hawk surprised me by perching very close to me on a fence rail, and when he flew off, I really wasn't expecting him to land in the field almost as close as when he was perched.
Took tons of pictures of my friend Allison and her husband Jeff this weekend. She is expecting twins in about 6 weeks! Lots of processing to do. This is the first one I think I have fairly close to "done".

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros, y cuando los abro,
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado,
y en las multitudes al hombre que yo amo.
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el odo que, en todo su ancho,
graba noche y da ros y canarios
martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos,
y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto,
me ha dado el sonido y abecedario.
Con l las palabras que pienso y declaro,
"padre,", "amigo," "hermano," y est alumbrando
la ruta del alma del que estoy amando.
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados.
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
valles y desiertos, montaas y llanos,
y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazn, que agita su marco.
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo.
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la risa, me ha dado el llanto.
As yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
todos materiales que forman mi canto,
y el canto de ustedes que es es mismo canto.
y el canto de ustedes que es mi propio canto

The exterior of the new station building at Oxford Parkway. This station is expected to become an important railhead for towns and villages to the north and west of Oxford, and even from parts of Oxford itself - there was evidence on the first day that people were using the frequent no. 2 buses from Kidlington and Summertown, which pass by on the adjacent Banbury Road, to access the station instead of struggling into central Oxford.
***********************************
Chiltern Railways commenced its much-anticipated new service between London Marylebone and Oxford Parkway on Monday 26th October, a few weeks later than originally planned.
The route makes use of a new curve at Bicester, rebuilt stations at Bicester Town (now renamed Bicester Village) and Islip, and a completely new station at Oxford Parkway, adjacent to the former Water eaton Park-and-Ride site in North Oxford (which has been renamed). Trains will run into Oxford itself sometime in Spring 2016, completing what is being heralded as the first new rail link between London and another major UK city for over 100 years.

Sometimes you can't really expect people to just get things like it's their second nature. I know I'm guilty of that with some things in life. It just hurts a little sometimes when you feel like you aren't really a priority.
So what do you do?
Make yourself your own priority.
Damn, I'm slowly getting so pessimistic about these kind of things and trying to rely more on myself to just stay happy.

It was an afternoon out with Jen :). Just us two. Which we haven't done in SO SO long. We had a long talk and caught up at Half and Half then went to Target to grab some "shtuff". That was mainly it, but trust me, we took forever doing just those two things, haha. It felt good. Thank you Jen :))... you gave me the laughs, hahaha.
Other than that, my day sorta turned to poo when my night plans fell through. Then I just waited. And waited.
Maybe I was a bit impatient. But come to think about it, I shouldn't have really waited in the first place.
The last thing we expected to see at Gunnedah, a small country town 1 hr west of Tamworth, is a TV celebrity. Tom Williams in Gunnedah to do a story for "The Great Outdoors" because Gunnedah is known as the "koala capital". Frankly I believe that koalas are not really common and I've yet to see more than 6 different koalas in my 3yrs of going on the summer mission there.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by C. Richter (Publishers) ltd. of London NW6. The artwork was by Trow, and the card has a divided back.
Trow
"Trow" has been claimed as the pseudonym of Frank Eric Smith, who was born in Salisbury on the 2nd. March 1908, and who lived most of his life in Dorset and Wiltshire. He died on the 5th. October 1985.
According to Smith's family, he drew many seaside postcards in the late 40's and early 50's, and derived his pseudonym from 'Trowbridge', the county town of Wiltshire.
However, Smith claimed to have stopped drawing in 1952, whilst new cards signed "Trow" continued to appear in large numbers until the late 1960's.
It seems that the cards prosecuted by the DPP for indecency in the 1950's were in fact drawn by Thomas Trow (1909-1971) of Stoke on Trent, whose address appears on the reverse of surviving artwork, as the Greyfriars Art Studio.
