I've watched my duty, straight an' true
An' tried to do it well;
Part of the time kept heaven in view,
An' part steered clear of hell.

Penedo da Saudade é um monumento natural localizado na freguesia de São Pedro de Moel, no concelho da Marinha Grande, em Portugal. Trata-se de uma enorme rocha granítica que se ergue sobre o mar, a cerca de 100 metros de altitude, oferecendo uma vista panorâmica sobre a costa atlântica. O nome Penedo da Saudade deve-se à lenda de que foi devido à tristeza da Duquesa de Caminha, viúva que sentia muita saudade do seu marido injustamente executado, que escolheu aquele lugar para expressar a sua dor.
Penedo da Saudade is a natural monument located in the parish of São Pedro de Moel, in the municipality of Marinha Grande, Portugal. It is a huge granite rock that rises above the sea, about 100 meters high, offering a panoramic view of the Atlantic coast. The name Penedo da Saudade is due to the legend that it was due to the sadness of the Duchess of Caminha, a widow who missed her unjustly executed husband, who chose that place to express her pain.

The Beeston Canal, in Beeston, Nottinghamshire.
Although the River Trent had been used for navigation for centuries it was not until the late 18th century that improvements were made.
The Trent Navigation Company was formed by an Act of 1783 with the responsibility of maintaining and improving the river from Shardlow in Derbyshire to Gainsborough (Lincolnshire). William Jessop was appointed as permanent engineer.
An Act of 1794 authorised the construction of the Beeston Canal (also known as the Beeston Cut), a cut 2¼ miles (3.2 km) in length, which ran from the Nottingham Canal at Lenton to the River Trent at Beeston. It opened in 1796 and allowed boats to travel through the town and thereby avoid hazardous conditions on the River Trent between Beeston Lock and West Bridgford.
With increased prosperity, the canals became the transport of choice in its day and people soon arrived to capitalise on its obvious benefits. But with the advent of the railway, the canal system went into decline, until the Inland Waterways Association championed the use of canals as leisure facilities in the 1960s. This led to a clean up and canal side improvements that feature today.

On a visit to South Wales in August 1988, I found this Sentinel 0-6-0 shunter at Deep Navigation Colliery dealing with coal hoppers that would depart once laoded as the 6B70 18:55 SCN [Speedlink Coal Network] service to Radyr Junction. What a pity the shunter had been defaced by the white paint markings 'CMA 4000' whatever it was meant to signify?
