Owned by Captain Hook during the mid 15th century, this tudor house just outside Easingwold is nothing short of incredible, with a lack of contents it still holds a sense of grandeur - It would make an ideal hotel or possibly a fun house if you lined all the walls with foam and filled it with plastic balls.
The so-called 'Dutch Cottages' are located at the end of Water Lane, where a staithe was once located on the River Ouse. The further cottage bears the almost incredibly early date of 1710 on the gable.

this is a pice of rug hooking that I'm doing to make chair pads for my garden furniture. I'm working on a burlap coffee sack, using leftover yarn balls and some handspun for the background.
This is the inside of the Fresnel Lens at Sandy Hook. Pictured is the small bulb which, with the help of the lens, can be seen 19 miles out to sea on a clear day. The seat you see to the left of the lit bulb is a secondary lamp mechanism that flips in to place, should the other bulb blow out. This is the oldest continuously operated lighthouse in the United States, having just celebrated its 245th year of operation.

These guys wanted to cause the least damage to the turtle as possible. I know they got one hook out but he had a second one a bit further in and he was snapping at fingers so I don't know what happen with that hook. I left before they were done.

who all his life tried to catch this idiot Peter Pan...

The President's speech on the uniquely American tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School:
This afternoon, I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller. I offered Governor Malloy my condolences on behalf of the nation, and made it clear he will have every single resource that he needs to investigate this heinous crime, care for the victims, counsel their families.
We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years. And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would -- as a parent. And that was especially true today. I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.
The majority of those who died today were children -- beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them -- birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers -- men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
So our hearts are broken today -- for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost. Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early, and there are no words that will ease their pain.
As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it’s an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago -- these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.
This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter and we’ll tell them that we love them, and we’ll remind each other how deeply we love one another. But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight. And they need all of us right now. In the hard days to come, that community needs us to be at our best as Americans. And I will do everything in my power as President to help.
Because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need -- to remind them that we are there for them, that we are praying for them, that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.
May God bless the memory of the victims and, in the words of Scripture, heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.
