This guide stone was set at the present day Woodhouse Cross in the early 19th Century when the track here to the right (Tipley Hill Lane) was used by horse drawn vehicles to head towards Newton Abbot. This side of the stone shows directions to the village of Ilsington.
The Adelaide class is a ship class of six guided missile frigates constructed in Australia and the United States of America for service in the Royal Australian Navy. The class is based on the United States Navy's Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates, but modified for Australian requirements. The first four vessels were built in the United States, while the other two were constructed in Australia.
The first ship entered service in November 1980, and three of the six ships are active as of 2015. Canberra and Adelaide were paid off in 2005 and 2008 respectively, and later sunk as dive wrecks: their decommissioning was to offset the cost of a A$1 billion weapons and equipment upgrade to the remaining four ships. Sydney was decommissioned in late 2015, after spending most of the year as a moored training ship. The Hobart-class air-warfare destroyers will replace the remaining frigates from 2016 onwards.

Two crows watched me from up high..could it be a sign? The crow is known as the ominous omen of death because it is the harbinger that guides souls from the realm of the living into the afterlife. Could this be the symbol confirming the rebirth of my little loved one, shedding from the old, and awakening into the new?
Charlie was cremated earlier in the day..

Bill explaining the history and significance of this shack. I was taking photos, so I missed it, but you can see the looks of intrigue on the faces of the guys. The lady in the background looks real, but she was 3D-printed.

Deputy Defense Secretary visits Camp Humphreys, thanks troops
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea, - Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter got a close look at Camp Humphreys and spoke to more than 300 U.S. Army and Air Force members, here, during his visit to the garrison, July 26.
In speaking to the troops, the deputy secretary thanked them for their service to the nation and pointed out the importance of the role they play in maintaining peace and security in the region.
"Turn on your television and look at Syria or someplace where there is no security, [then] you realize how fortunate it is to have – you provide that to people," said Carter. "You, right here, right now, in this part of the world, are at the fulcrum of the strategic change that we in the United States are making."
During his stop, Carter also listened to a briefing about the garrison’s ongoing transformation. Army Lt. Gen. John D. Johnson, 8th Army commander, and Gen. James D. Thurman, Commander of U.S. Forces Korea, gave the deputy secretary an update on plans to relocate to Camp Humphreys.
Home to the 2nd Infantry Division's combat aviation brigade and the Army's most active airfield in the Pacific, Camp Humphreys is currently the site of the largest construction project in the Defense Department’s history.
According to Carter, “South Korea-stationed troops must be ready every day to face and defeat aggression.”
“That’s why you have the newest and best equipment – because your proficiency, your readiness, your capability, have to be tip-top for you to do what you do,” he said.
Carter closed with his remarks to the troops by reminding them the importance they play, every day, in securing South Korea and fostering goodwill with in the Pacific region.
"You have much to be proud of. You have much to feel good about when you wake up every morning. And you should. And I just wanted you to know that and to reflect on that a little bit and go home and tell your family about it," said Carter.

I went on a free guided tour of the Birmingham Oratory on the Hagley Road in Edgbaston (near Ladywood), on the last day of Birmingham Heritage Week 2019. Part of the Heritage Open Days. They have been having open days here from the 20th to 22nd September 2019.
The guided tour started at 2:15pm and lasted around an hour.
The Birmingham Oratory is an English Catholic religious community of the Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, located in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham. The community was founded in 1849 by the Blessed John Henry Newman, Cong.Orat., the first house of that congregation in England.
Part of the complex of the Oratory is the Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception, commonly referred to as the Oratory Church. It now also serves as the national shrine to Newman.
The current church was constructed between 1907 and 1910 in the Baroque style to replace the original structure as a memorial to Newman. It was designed by the architect Edward Doran Webb. It is familiarly called the Little Rome in Birmingham.
Prior to a final determination regarding the beatification of Newman, the Holy See gave instructions that his remains were to be transferred from the Oratorian cemetery in the West Midlands to the Oratory Church. A marble tomb was built for this but not installed in the church. When church and civil authorities opened the grave in October 2008, however, they found no human remains from his grave.
The Grade II* listed church continues to serve the Congregation of the Oratory there. Elsewhere in England, there are also communities of the Congregation at the Brompton Oratory in London and the Oxford Oratory.
In February 2012, the church suffered the theft of a large metal cross from its roof. The loss was valued at £30,000.
