My very old "Teddy" who has always been very precious to me (his face is more like a monkey :). He was a gift from my Aunt & Uncle when I was born (66 years ago). He still has such a happy face even though his fur has worn away and is face has in-ground grime.
Macro Mondays: Treasured
Farewell old box of faded red
The wires are cut, the phone is dead
What history has taken place
Since first you occupied the space.
What joys and sadness word by word conversations you have heard
Have passed the lips and many a sigh
From villagers and passers by.
Your time is past, you’re obsolete
With mobile phones you can’t compete
The CNW twins sit in Homewood with Y-PRCN as IC 3115 shoves a pulldown back into Markham Yard. Nowadays the twins now wear UP armour yellow, IC 3115 wears a yellow frame stripe and that C40-8M will soon be history as well. Time marches on.
Old olive trees.
Certains disent que les oliviers peuvent vivre plus de 1000 ans. C'est bien possible, après tout.

The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500.
The stone bridge was constructed on rubble foundations around 1500 and replaced earlier wooden/ timber bridges, including that on which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought.
The bridge originally had arches at either end and a defensive gate at the end nearer the burgh. Tolls were levied on goods being taken across the bridge.
In December 1745 General Blakeney, lieutenant governor of Stirling⁹ Castle, had one of the bridge arches destroyed to hinder the movement of the Jacobite Army. The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1749.
In May 1833 the adjacent new road bridge was opened to traffic and the Old Bridge was closed to wheeled traffic.
The bridge was designated as a Category A Listed Building in 1965.
The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.
