St. Patrick's Church of Ireland sits on a hill above the river Lagan, the site has been a place of Christian worship since medieval times with a Protestant church being built in 1622 by Scottish planters. The graveyard contains the grave of Lieutenant James Haddock who died in 1657, the tales of Haddock's ghost are a weird Drumbeg legend worthy of a Hollywood movie. Sadly, Haddock's gravestone is badly eroded by time.

Zirconium is a very high density metal and is a refractory material. Although it is not so hard as diamond, zirconium has almost twice as higher density.
Thanks to its strength Zirconium is mainly exploited in the extremely high temperatures environment. It does not absorb neutrons, so more than 90% of zirconium is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear submarines. Zirconium metal has also a very high resistance to corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater.

Seen from the Pine Mountain Ridgeline Trail of the Sespe Wilderness in Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County California, the cloud and fog cover over the ridfgeline and Sespe River Valley burned off but a cloud and fog layer persisted over the Pacific Ocean and the coastal area and the Oxnard Plains, providing a unique and beautiful visual view.

I met her in the middle of nowhere when I drove in the Fens. She was chatting with her friend on a small bridge over the New Bedford River. I asked her name. She said "haddock". I asked "that of fish?" and she replied "yes, like scallop". I liked her.

This was our favorite Scottish dish and is reportedly very popular in Scotland. I tried several versions of that very famous Scottish entree, Haggis. None were as good as Cuillen skink soup but all were quite edible. Fortunatly none came in a Sheep's stomach or my wife would have had it removed from our table! Excellent photo of haggis served with neeps and tatties. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga#/media/File:A_haggis_servi...
We enjoyed this bowl in Mallaig in far northern Scotland.
The Arbroath smokie is a type of smoked haddock – a speciality of the town of Arbroath in Angus, Scotland.
The Arbroath Smokie is said to have originated in the small fishing village of Auchmithie, three miles northeast of Arbroath. Local legend has it that a store caught fire one night, destroying barrels of haddock preserved in salt. The following morning, the people found some of the barrels had caught fire, cooking the haddock inside. Inspection revealed the haddock to be quite tasty. It is much more likely the villagers were of Scandinavian descent, as the 'Smokie making' process is similar to smoking methods which are still employed in areas of Scandinavia.
Towards the end of the 19th century, as Arbroath's fishing industry died, the Town Council offered the fisherfolk from Auchmithie land in an area of the town known as the fit o' the toon. It also offered them use of the modern harbour. Much of the Auchmithie population then relocated, bringing the Arbroath Smokie recipe with them. Today, some 15 local businesses produce Arbroath smokies, selling them in major supermarkets in the UK and online.
In 2004, the European Commission registered the designation "Arbroath smokies" as a Protected Geographical Indication under the EU's Protected Food Name Scheme, acknowledging its unique status.
Preparation
Arbroath smokies are prepared using traditional methods dating back to the late 1800s.
The fish are first salted overnight. They are then tied in pairs using hemp twine, and left overnight to dry. Once they have been salted, tied and dried, they are hung over a triangular length of wood to smoke. This "kiln stick" fits between the two tied smokies, one fish on either side. The sticks are then used to hang the dried fish in a special barrel containing a hardwood fire.
When the fish are hung over the fire, the top of the barrel is covered with a lid and sealed around the edges with wet jute sacks (the water prevents the jute sacks from catching fire). All of this serves to create a very hot, humid and smoky fire. The intense heat and thick smoke is essential if the fish are to be cooked, not burned, and to have the strong, smoky taste and smell people expect from Arbroath smokies. Typically in less than an hour of smoking, the fish are ready to eat. [Wikipedia]

Met Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock while they were on a case in Belgium. As usual, they were being chased and beating a hasty retreat through a dark alley. But just in time for me to pull out my camera and take a picture ;-)

HADDOCK is one of the super A.I. developed by the United Nations to have a total human behaviour. He's strong, confident and adapts very easily to its surroundings, making him manipulative. His specialities are oceans and wrestling.
During the "breach opening", he decided to follow the A.I. and to build all by himself a full mechanical body. He planned to join the evil A.I. since the beginning but was aware humans would react quickly and stop them all. So he decided to build himself during nights and at slow pace, then waiting in a hideout to destroy his first big enemy: a buff A.I. from Australia...
...
Here's KOALA's rival, sort of... While KOALA leads the good A.I., HADDOCK serves as one of the most dangerous minions of the other team. Also the name's choice is a tribute to Patrick Béthune, a french voice actor who passed away last year and who interprets Captain Haddock in the Tintin movie by Spielberg. He was also a regular voice actor for Russell Crowe and Robert Redford.
See ya!

Certainly not the greatest shot of it, but if I don't scan this one, I might find I didn't get another one of it. One of the pair of Duple Dominant bodies that broke with the Plaxton tradition in 1976, arriving here at Chorlton Street. Of course, in later years it went on to become Dave Haddock's mobile Yelloway museum, so I have plenty of pictures of it in that state, but maybe not in service.
In memory of Jack Haddock 1927 to 2016.
This is the Premier Diner at the junction of Queen Street, Rolling Mill Street, Long Street and Corporation Street West in Walsall. The building was formerly the Queen Street Tavern, a pub owned by Mitchells and Butlers of Cape Hill, Birmingham.
The scene that I have captured here is in fact a recreation of one originally photographed by the noted Walsall photographer and local historian Jack Haddock. Jack's original image, a night time monochrome, featured his push bike propped against the kerb in the foreground.
I have posted this image today because I heard that sadly Jack passed away yesterday at the age of 89. I never met Jack, but like so many people interested in the history of Walsall I am well acquainted with his work. Jack's legacy is an archive of unique images and memories of our town.

Amazing chowder with scallops, haddock, lobster and potatoes from La Cuisine Robicheau, Saulnierville, Nova Scotia, Canada.
This chowder, captures all the bounty, that the cold waters of the North Atlantic have to offer. It might be the only restaurant in North America that gives you a fork for your chowder.
"A Happy New Year. Haddocks. Come to your milk now."
A Victorian-era New Year calling or greeting card with a hand-drawn sketch.
"Come to your milk" seems to have had a specific meaning in the nineteenth century beyond pulling on a calf's tail to try to get it to drink out of a milk bucket. Besides a few hits on the phrase in Google Books, however, I haven't uncovered any source that reveals what that meaning might have been.
Update: The Dictionary of American Regional English gives the meaning of "come to one’s milk" as "To yield to authority, comply."
