So, posting this a little early before Friday actually starts, but I'm excited about my first Fireworks Friday! The first time that I shot Wishes with my D90 and Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 combined with a 2 stop ND filter turned out quite promising. I adjusted my angle a bit during the middle of the show, but I actually liked this angle that included the crowd. The only downside to the Magic, Memories, and You show is the scrim they put up in the middle of the balcony for the projections. I would've much rather seen a nice clean castle, but nevertheless I like what I ended up with. Please let me know what you all think because as it's my first shot at this, pun intended, I would appreciate any and all constructive feedback. Enjoy!
just as i've started posting a bit more regularly i'm going to take another extended absence as in a few hours i fly to borneo to travel for a few weeks. so i thought i'd get one more post out when i should be packing. i'm particularly proud of this shot, partly because it required minimal processing (not counting the rotation to get the horizon straight) but also because it all kind of happened by accident. i was driving, well technically being driven, in etosha national park when we saw a springbok slowly walk onto the road. as soon as i reached for my camera it got spooked and started bounding into the infinite grass so i just pointed and clicked as fast as possible. i ended up with what i think is my favourite picture of the year so far. hopefully i'll be as pleased with what i bring back in my camera from borneo.

Field Trip - Sherrardspark Wood - 03/08/19
Finally getting my bottom in to gear and posting some of the field trip reports from last month.
First up, the moth group trip we did to Sherrardspark Wood on the outskirts of Welwyn Garden City.
The day had been relatively warm and the night time temperatures held up, unfortunately the catches were poor and apart from a few nice species, numbers were dominated by hundreds upon hundreds of Blastobasis adustella, in fact it was hard to see past them at times!
The best moth of the night was a single Nemapogon ruricolella, only the 5th modern record for Herts.
Aristotelia ericinella was found in good numbers around the Heather.
For the temperature, we were a little disappointed, maybe we were too late for the good stuff!
Below is the full list from the night.
3rd August 2019: Sherrardspark Wood, Hertfordshire.
· North-east monad – TL2314: Colin and Graeme’s team

because that's what I'll probably be posting the most lately, haha. Especially with the upcoming meteor shower (Geminids, Dec 13-14th) which should provide an awesome display if this years predictions hold true. (Please have clear skies, please have clear skies!)
It's cloudy tonight but I sort of like the ethereal look of clouds in long exposures.
There's a bit of distortion introduced at 18mm that astrometry.net's bot doesn't like, but the notes give you a general idea what's in here. That's Orion in the upper-mid-right.
This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the Finea 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Finea, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd March 2014 at 12:00. The race is organised in conjunction with the Castletown Finea Coole and Whitehall GAA club which is an amalgamation club of the GAA clubs of the surrounding parishes. Whilst the numbers were lower than the races from 2013 there was still a great local country atmosphere with runners, joggers, and walkers enjoying the cold but dry and sunny weather for the race. There was a great spread of refreshments provided in Fitzsimons Bar after the race.
A full set of photographs from today's race is available on our Flickr photostream in this set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157642756508483/

This race is unique in the fact that it provided participants with the opportunity to compete in a race in two counties (Westmeath and Cavan) and two provinces (Ulster and Leinster) in Ireland during the same race. The race started on the Cavan side of the famous bridge of Finea and finished on the banks of the river. Finea is a beautiful Irish village which is well known for its scenery and it's position in the beautiful landscape of North Westmeath amongst the lakes and hills. The race crosses the River Inny which provides a natural drainage river between Lough Kinale to the south and the much larger Lough Sheelin [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Sheelin] to the north. The race was well stewarded at all road junctions. Water was provided at the 3KM mark.
Course: The race starts and finishes at either side of the Bridge of Finea. The Bridge End Bar was the start where the race went out 400m on the Granard road and runners turned around at cone and headed back into Co. Westmeath over the bridge and the 1km mark. Following the Castlepollard Road the race took at left at the 2km and followed a loop back past the National School and back into Finea village again for a finish down on the banks of the River Inny. The course was a tough undulating course but fair. Any short hills were balanced out by adequate down-hill the other side. The stewards provided excellent traffic management on what is a busy section of road between the 1st KM and the final KM and the finish.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration took place at the Bridge (see Google StreetView Image here goo.gl/maps/1Zqek)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches and home-made breads in Fitzsimon's Bridge End Bar afterwards.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the Finea 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Finea, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd March 2014 at 12:00. The race is organised in conjunction with the Castletown Finea Coole and Whitehall GAA club which is an amalgamation club of the GAA clubs of the surrounding parishes. Whilst the numbers were lower than the races from 2013 there was still a great local country atmosphere with runners, joggers, and walkers enjoying the cold but dry and sunny weather for the race. There was a great spread of refreshments provided in Fitzsimons Bar after the race.
A full set of photographs from today's race is available on our Flickr photostream in this set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157642756508483/

This race is unique in the fact that it provided participants with the opportunity to compete in a race in two counties (Westmeath and Cavan) and two provinces (Ulster and Leinster) in Ireland during the same race. The race started on the Cavan side of the famous bridge of Finea and finished on the banks of the river. Finea is a beautiful Irish village which is well known for its scenery and it's position in the beautiful landscape of North Westmeath amongst the lakes and hills. The race crosses the River Inny which provides a natural drainage river between Lough Kinale to the south and the much larger Lough Sheelin [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Sheelin] to the north. The race was well stewarded at all road junctions. Water was provided at the 3KM mark.
Course: The race starts and finishes at either side of the Bridge of Finea. The Bridge End Bar was the start where the race went out 400m on the Granard road and runners turned around at cone and headed back into Co. Westmeath over the bridge and the 1km mark. Following the Castlepollard Road the race took at left at the 2km and followed a loop back past the National School and back into Finea village again for a finish down on the banks of the River Inny. The course was a tough undulating course but fair. Any short hills were balanced out by adequate down-hill the other side. The stewards provided excellent traffic management on what is a busy section of road between the 1st KM and the final KM and the finish.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration took place at the Bridge (see Google StreetView Image here goo.gl/maps/1Zqek)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches and home-made breads in Fitzsimon's Bridge End Bar afterwards.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

The Lidl Run Kildare Events 2013 were held at the Curragh Racecourse, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 12th May 2013. There were three events: a 10KM, a half marathon, and a full marathon. This is a selection of photographs which includes all events. The photographs are taken from the start and finish of the marathon, the finish of the 10KM, and the finish of the half marathon. Due to the large numbers participating we did not manage to photograph everyone - which was not helped by the weather. Congratulations to Jo Cawley and her RunKildare crew for another great event. The weather didn't dampen the spirits of the many happy participants.
Electronic timing was provided by Red Tag Timing [www.redtagtiming.com/]
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 3,000 participants over the 3 race events - there were runners, joggers, and walkers participating.
Weather: A cold breezy morning with heavy rain at the start. The weather dried up for the 10KM and the Half Marathon races
Course: This is an undulating course with some good flat stretches on the Curragh.

Field Trip - Sherrardspark Wood - 03/08/19
Finally getting my bottom in to gear and posting some of the field trip reports from last month.
First up, the moth group trip we did to Sherrardspark Wood on the outskirts of Welwyn Garden City.
The day had been relatively warm and the night time temperatures held up, unfortunately the catches were poor and apart from a few nice species, numbers were dominated by hundreds upon hundreds of Blastobasis adustella, in fact it was hard to see past them at times!
The best moth of the night was a single Nemapogon ruricolella, only the 5th modern record for Herts.
Aristotelia ericinella was found in good numbers around the Heather.
For the temperature, we were a little disappointed, maybe we were too late for the good stuff!
Below is the full list from the night.

In posting shots on other social media last year, it seemed that my shots at Ruckinge were not as complete as they should have been.
I did call in last year, but due to COVID, the church was locked.
On Saturday, we were in Ham Street so I could hunt butterflies, and surprisingly, Ham Street has no church within the village, instead there is Ruckinge and Orelestone to the north and east.
Orelestone I only visited last year, so have not been inside, but Ruckinge I last saw inside in 2014.
Saturday mornings there is a regular coffee morning in the shop, and I arrived just after midday as the refreshments were being packed away. Another role into which parish churches step into as other civic buildings are sold off up and down the country.
The tall, squat dower is visible from half a mile away, towering over the mature trees between. Clearly an ancient construction, Norman for sure, and topped by a wee little steeple.
Being a glorious day, I walked round the outside of the church, recording some of the finer details, like the tympanums over the west and south doors.
-------------------------------------------
A large church of Norman origins, the west door being a much-weathered example of twelfth-century work. The south doorway is also Norman and has the remains of two mass dials carved into its dressed stonework. The masonry inside the church shows clear signs of fire damage, and a nice crownpost roof of the fourteenth century probably marks the date of the rebuilding after the fire. Of the same period are the returned stalls on the south side of the chancel - the fronts being little more than a series of plain upright planks, with some spectacularly proportioned poppy-heads at each end. Outside, the upper stage of the tower dates from the thirteenth century and has a small pyramidal roof with needle spire.

RUCKING
LIES the next parish westward from Bilsington, for the most part upon the clay-hills. It is written in Domesday, Rochinges, and now usually called and written Ruckinge. Part of it, in which the church stands, is in the hundred of Newchurch, and another part in the hundred of Ham. That part of it which is below the hill southward is in the level of Romney Marsh, and within the liberty and jurisdiction of the justices of it, and the residue is within that of the justices of the county, and within the district of the Weald.
The PARISH lies so obscurely as to be but little known, it is a dreary unpleasant place, the roads are very narrow and miry, as bad as any in the Weald, the soil being a deep miry clay; that from Limne, through Bilsington, Ham-street, and Warehorne, crosses this parish on the side of the clay-hill, inclining nearer to the Marsh. The church stands on the side of the hill, overlooking the Marsh, which lies at the foot of it southward. The upper or northern side of it is mostly coppice wood. It contains about 930 acres of upland, and as many of marsh-land. There is no village, the houses being dispersed about the parish, and are mostly inhabited by poorer sort of people.
IN THE YEAR 791 king Offa gave to Christ-church, in Canterbury, fifteen plough-lands in Kent, among which was this estate of Roching, together with several dennes, for the feed of hogs, in the Weald; (fn. 1) but it was afterwards wrested from the church, during the Danish wars, and it continued in lay hands at the time of the conquest, soon after which it appears to have been in the possession of Hugo de Montfort, from whom archbishop Lanfranc recovered it again to his church, in the solemn assembly, held on this occasion by the king's command, at Pinenden-heath, in the year 1076. This estate coming thus into the hands of the church, on the division made of the revenues of it between the archbishop and his monks, was allotted by him to the latter, and the possession of it was confirmed to them by king Henry I. and II. In Somner's Gavelkind, is a transcript of a release anno 17 Edward I. of the base services of several of the tenants of this manor (gavelkind men) who brought them out, and consequently it was a mere change from service into money, by the mutual consent of lord and tenant. King Edward II. in his 10th year, granted to the prior and convent of Christ-church, free-warren in all their demesne lands in Rucking, among other places. In which state this manor continued till the suppression of the priory, anno 31 Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, where it did not remain long, for the king settled it by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, on his new-erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it still remains. The heirs of the Rev. Dr. James Andrews, lately deceased, are now entitled to the lease of it. There is no court held for this manor.
The OTHER PART of this parish, not included in the above grant of king Offa, seems to be that which Cuthred, king of Kent, in the year 805, with the consent and leave of Cœnulf, king of Mercia, gave to Aldbertht his servant, and Seledrythe the abbot, being two plough-lands in Hrocing, situated on both sides of the river Limene, to hold in perpetual inheritance, free from all regal tribute, &c. (fn. 2) Soon after the Norman conquest Hugo de Montfort was become possessed of lands in this parish, some of which were those which had been given by king Offa, as above-mentioned, to the priory of Christ-church, which were again recovered from him by archbishop Lanfranc, at the great meeting held at Pinenden. The residue continued in his possession, and are accordingly entered in the survey of Domesday, under the general title of the lands of Hugo de Montfort:
Ralph, son of Richard, holds of Hugo half a suling in Rochinges, which Leuret held of king Edward. It was taxed at half a suling. The arable land is two carucates. There are now twelve villeins having one carucate and an half. Of wood the pannage for one hog. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth fifty shillings, and afterwards thirty shillings, now fifty shillings.
IN THIS PART was the MANOR OF WESTBEREIS, alias Rokinges, which seems to have been once accounted as a moiety of the manor of Rucking. The former of these names it appears to have taken from the antient owners of it. After this name was extinct here, which was before the reign of king Henry IV. this manor was come into the name of Prisot, and in the 21st year of king Henry VI. was owned by John Prisot, who was that year made a sergeant-at-law, and in the 27th year of it knighted, and made chief justice of the common pleas, (fn. 3) in whose descendants it continued till the 8th year of king Henry VIII. when Thomas Prisot passed it away by sale to George Hount, in which name it continued till the 9th year of queen Elizabeth, when it was sold to Reginald Stroughill, usually called Struggle, who was in the commission of the peace in king Edward VI.'s reign, a name of antient extraction in Romney Marsh, where there were lands so called, and there they continued in good esteem at Lyd, of which town they were jurats, and possessed lands for many years afterwards. From this name this manor of Westberies, alias Rokinges, went by sale to Pearse, and anno 23 Elizabeth John Pearse, alienated it, being held in capite, to Richard Guildford and Bennet his wife, but he being indicted for not taking the oath of supremacy, they fled the realm, and were attainted of treason, and his lands became forfeited to the crown, where this manor seems to have remained till the death of the latter in 1597, anno 39 Elizabeth, when the queen granted the fee of it to Walter Moyle, gent. who sold it soon afterwards to Francis Bourne, esq. of Sharsted, and his grandson James Bourne owned it at the latter end of king Charles I.'s reign, and in his descendants it continued till it was at length sold to Parker, in which name it remained till John Parker, of London, alienated it in 1706 to Edward Andrews, of Hinxhill, and his daughter Susanna, who married George I'anns, of this parish, and left a daughter of her own name, who afterwards married first John Gray, M. D. of Canterbury, and secondly Tho. Ibbott, clerk, and entit led each of her husbands in turn respectively to the possession of this manor. On her death without issue, her heirs on her mother's side became entitled to it, and in them, to the number of more than thirty, the inheritance of it is at this time vested.
The MANOR OF BARDINDEN, or Barbodindenne, was likewise most probably situated in this part of Rucking, and was antiently so called from a family of the same name, who were possessors of it, one of whom, William de Barbodindenne, held it at his death, which was in the 9th year of king Edward III. and in his descendants it continued till at length it was alienated to Sir Robert Belknap, chief justice of the common pleas, who being attainted and banished in the 11th year of king Richard II. his estates became forfeited to the crown. Notwithstanding which, the king, who considered him as a martyr to his interest, granted him his estates again, and among others this manor, which he died possessed of in the 2d year of king Henry IV. His grandson John Belknap, in the beginning of king Henry VI.'s reign, alienated it to Engham, in which name it continued till king Henry VIII.'s reign, when it was sold to Sir Matthew Browne, of Beechworth, who held it in capite at his death, anno 4 and 5 Philip and Mary. His grandson Sir Thomas Browne passed it away by sale, in the 7th year of queen Elizabeth, to Thomas Lovelace, esq. whose cousin and heir William Lovelace, of Bethesden, sergeant-at-law, succeeded him in the possession of it, which afterwards descended down to Col. Richard Lovelace, who, soon after the death of king Charles I. alienated it, with his estates at Bethersden, to Mr. Richard Hulse, afterwards of Lovelace-place, in that parish, but whereabouts this manor is precisely situated, or who have been the proprietors of it since, I have not as yet been able to gain any discovery of.
POUNDHURST is a manor, situated about a mile north-west from the church. It belonged in 1651 to Richard Watts, who sold it to Gadsley, from which name it passed to Hatch, and then to Read, who passed it away to Clarke, of Ashford, and Grace Clarke carried it in marriage to the Rev. Thomas Gellibrand, and at her death in 1782, gave it by will to her son the Rev. Joseph Gellibrand, of Edmonton, the present possessor of it.
The MANOR OF MORE was antiently held by owners of the same name, one of whom, Matthew at More, held it by knight's service in the 20th year of king Edward III. after which this manor of More came into the possession of the family of Brent, who were possessed of it in king Henry VII.'s reign. At length Thomas Brent, esq. of Wilsborough, dying in 1612, s. p. by his will gave this manor to his nephew Richard Dering, esq. of Pluckley, in whose descendants it continued down to Sir Edward Dering, bart. now of Surrenden, the present possessor of it.
Charities.
A PERSON UNKNOWN gave to this parish an annuity of 20s. paid out of lands in Romney Marsh, occupied by Mr. Stone, of Great Chart, which is yearly distributed on New Year's day to the poor, who receive no parish relief.
The poor constantly relieved are about twenty, casually forty.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Limne.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, is a very small building, having at the west end a pointed tower, out of which rises a small slender spire. In the tower there are five bells. It has a middle isle, and two narrow ones coving to it on each side. It has one chancel, and another building at the east end of the south isle, built of flint, with two handsome gothic windows on the south side, and seems to have been a chantry or oratory. It is now made use of to lay the materials in for the repairs of the church. There is a white stone in the north isle, having once had the figures of a man and woman in brass. There are no other memorials or gravestones in the church. On the outside of the steeple, on the west side, there is a very antient Saxon arched door-way, with carved capitals and zig-zag ornaments round it, and some sculpture under the arch. And there is such another smaller one on the middle of the south side of the south isle.
The church of Rucking seems to have been esteemed part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury ever since the restoring of it to that church, by the means of archbishop Lanfranc as above mentioned, when, on the allotment of the manor to the priory and monks of Christ-church, the archbishop most probably retained the advowson of this church to himself. His grace the archbishop is the present patron of it.
It is a rectory, valued in the king's books at 14l. 13s. 4d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 9s. 4d. In 1588 it was valued at one hundred pounds, communicants one hundred. In 1640 it was valued at eightyfive pounds, communicants the same as before. There are about eighteen acres of glebe.
In the petition of the clergy, beneficed in Romney Marsh, in 1635, for setting aside the custom of twopence an acre, in lieu of tithe-wool and pasturage, a full account of which has been given before, under Burmarsh, the rector of Rucking was one of those who met on this occasion; when it was agreed on all sides, that wool in the Marsh had never been known to have been paid in specie, the other tithes being paid or compounded for.
¶There is a modus of one shilling per acre on all grafs lands in this parish within the Marsh, and by custom, all the upland pays four-pence per acre for pasturage, and one shilling per acre when mowed, no hay having ever been taken in kind, the other tithes are either taken in kind, or compounded for. Formerly the woods of this parish paid tithes, after the rate of two shillings in the pound, according to the money paid for the fellets of them; but in a suit in the exchequer for tithe of wood, anno 1713, brought by Lodge, rector, against Sir Philip Boteler, it was decreed against the rector, that this parish was within the bounds of the Weald, and the woods in it consequently freed from tithes. Which decree has been acquiesced in ever since.
Posting tonight - 27 October 2015 - to reminisce about War weekends gone past... this Hellcat sadly had an accident recently and killed its two-man crew.

Normally I just photograph airplanes, but the aviation was like 20% of the D-Day commemoration. Which is perfectly o-kay.......... the camaraderie & living history was well worth the trips!

I have somewhere between 30 and 40 images in my "possibly post to Flickr" folder, and lately I've had some trouble trying to decide which ones to edit and post. I have a difficult time posting certain images that I know might not be 'popular' on Flickr, which is a ridiculous notion - as long as I like the picture I post, why should I care about a lack of comments? But I think that thought enters most of our minds when we browse through Flickr potentials.
And it's not entirely a bad thing... though for some it's a popularity contest, for so many well-meaning others it's a chance to share those images and memories that stirred our emotions and quickened our hearts. It's a chance to bring a little extra beauty into the world, or, rather, to bring to light the beauty that already exists, so long as we choose to notice and acknowledge it.
So that's what I try to do here - share the kind of photos that make the rest of the world smile, or wonder, or simply... pause, react, acknowledge, connect.
Anyway. This image was taken near the boating ramp at Crescent Lake on the Olympic Peninsula, with my digital Nikon.

Being a glorious day, I walked round the outside of the church, recording some of the finer details, like the tympanums over the west and south doors.
Inside, I soon realised the reason for not having recorded any monuments or memorials inside was that there were none. But I did go and take more shots, some repeats, as I have a new and better camera, and there is always details I would have missed.
I asked about the coffee morning, and was explained that some weeks it is in aid of a charity, like this week, so I gave a fiver to help the lady's relative who is seriously ill. Please take cake, would you like a tea?
They asked.
But I was good.
Just wanted to help.

It has one chancel, and another building at the east end of the south isle, built of flint, with two handsome gothic windows on the south side, and seems to have been a chantry or oratory. It is now made use of to lay the materials in for the repairs of the church. There is a white stone in the north isle, having once had the figures of a man and woman in brass. There are no other memorials or gravestones in the church. On the outside of the steeple, on the west side, there is a very antient Saxon arched door-way, with carved capitals and zig-zag ornaments round it, and some sculpture under the arch. And there is such another smaller one on the middle of the south side of the south isle.
The church of Rucking seems to have been esteemed part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury ever since the restoring of it to that church, by the means of archbishop Lanfranc as above mentioned, when, on the allotment of the manor to the priory and monks of Christ-church, the archbishop most probably retained the advowson of this church to himself. His grace the archbishop is the present patron of it.
It is a rectory, valued in the king's books at 14l. 13s. 4d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 9s. 4d. In 1588 it was valued at one hundred pounds, communicants one hundred. In 1640 it was valued at eightyfive pounds, communicants the same as before. There are about eighteen acres of glebe.
In the petition of the clergy, beneficed in Romney Marsh, in 1635, for setting aside the custom of twopence an acre, in lieu of tithe-wool and pasturage, a full account of which has been given before, under Burmarsh, the rector of Rucking was one of those who met on this occasion; when it was agreed on all sides, that wool in the Marsh had never been known to have been paid in specie, the other tithes being paid or compounded for.
¶There is a modus of one shilling per acre on all grafs lands in this parish within the Marsh, and by custom, all the upland pays four-pence per acre for pasturage, and one shilling per acre when mowed, no hay having ever been taken in kind, the other tithes are either taken in kind, or compounded for. Formerly the woods of this parish paid tithes, after the rate of two shillings in the pound, according to the money paid for the fellets of them; but in a suit in the exchequer for tithe of wood, anno 1713, brought by Lodge, rector, against Sir Philip Boteler, it was decreed against the rector, that this parish was within the bounds of the Weald, and the woods in it consequently freed from tithes. Which decree has been acquiesced in ever since.
From Michael Ferner - posting at Autosport Nostalgia Forum - forums.autosport.com/topic/193330-happy-birthday-wgs/ "On May 21, 1939, 75 years ago today, Williams Grove Speedway opened its doors for dirt track automobile racing - it's still at it, every Friday night during the season! Located just a couple miles south of Mechanicsburg, a small suburb of the Pennsylvania capital Harrisburg, which was (aptly!) named for a settlement of "Conestoga wagon" mechanics in the early 19th century, the Grove has attracted scores upon scores of mechanics of a slightly different hue to Central Pennsylvania over three quarters of a century by now - namely, Sprint Car mechanics! 👏 👏
My Google Earth skills are still crap, but it's easy to find if you search for "Williams Grove Speedway", and the satellite picture will show its unusual, oblong form and the reddish clay track surface for which it has become famous. Back in 1939, the Speedway was built as an added attraction for the Williams Grove Amusement Park, which closed about ten years ago. The Park had been built by Roy E. Richwine (1889 - 1960), after purchasing the Grove in 1923 for a reported $40,000 from the heirs of Abraham Williams (1824 - 1907), who'd developed it just after the Civil War from a family picnic spot to a regular fairgrounds.
Original plans had been to open on May 14, but Richwine had to concede that date to Ralph Hankinson's Langhorne Speedway, which exercised habitual rights for its season inaugural. In any case, the real baptism had already taken place one month earlier, when Ottis Stine (1908 - 2000), a "Dutch Pennsylvanian" who'd begun his career as Otto Stein (probably his birth name) about five years earlier, took out the (Emmett) Shelley/Hal for a few test runs on the new track. Stine had secured a regular ride with Shelley during much of 1938, and it was no accident that it was this particular car which deflowered the Williams Grove soil, for Emmett Shelley was very probably the main moving force behind its conception!
A hotel operator from nearby Carlisle by trade, Emmett Shelley (1900 - 1978) had dabbled in various enterprises before taking over the family business at the Wellington Hotel in Carlisle, amongst which was a stint as the sales manager for the Payne-Knisely Motor Co. at Harrisburg, which was active in the local dirt track racing scene in the latter half of the twenties. By 1927, Shelley owned a Model T Ford racing car which he entered in races at the Harrisburg Fairgrounds in Paxtang, the area's main racing venue at the time, less than ten miles to the east of Mechanicsburg. Five years later, his "Penn-Harris Special" #18 was a regular sight at AAA events in Central Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, with local driver Harold E. Wright (~ 1908 - 1934) handling the controls. Wright was hardly an ace, but he did manage a third place finish with the car in the main event at the Flemington Fair in early September, behind Billy Winn and Chuck Tabor, and beating the likes of Vern Orenduff, Firman Lawshe, Ben Shaw, Bill Denver and Freddie Winnai.
Just a few days later, Wright was injured at the Schuylkill County Fairgrounds between Cressona and Pottsville/PA, and Shelley put another local, Howard L. Roser (1902 - 1976) in the Penn-Harris, now #45 for 1933. Like Wright, Roser was not destined for greatness, but he became a co-owner in the car, which was renamed the "Roshell Special" #38 the following year. For 1935, the team invested in one of the popular DO Hal engines and secured the services of driver William S. "Bill" Shoop (1906 - 1990) from nearby York. In half a decade of trying so far, Shoop had shown a little bit more promise than both Wright and Roser, but the real difference for the Shelley troupe was made by the step down to a newly formed independent racing club, the Central Pennsylvania Racing Association (CPRA).
Most of the area's racing folk refered to the CPRA as the "Mark Light group", after the Jack-of-all-trades who had basically ramrodded the club into existence. Light (1910 - 1975) was a driver, mechanic, car owner, race official and promoter - he'd probably go selling hot dogs in the stands between heats if he wasn't already performing every imaginable duty for the organisation!
Edited by Michael Ferner, Today, 11:40.
Posting shots of churches we have visited has shown me that my photography has improved now I don't use the ultrawide angle lenses, so many churches need a revisit.
And with the orchid season now at an end, nearly, it is time to turn to churchcrawling.
And the easiest non-Kent church to revisit was Winchelsea, just over the border in East Sussex, also gave us the chance to call in at the fishmongers in Rye for some smoked haddock.
After the early morning coffee and then the rush round Tesco, back home to pack it all away and for me to make bacon butties and another brew.
And then: go west.
Traffic is not so mad now, so it was easy to drive to Folkestone then up the motorway to Ashford, before turning off, past the inland border facility, then out onto the Marsh past Hamstreet.
West of Brookland, the road meanders about, bend after bend, crossing and recrossing the railway until we reach Rye.
We stop to buy the fish, then round the river, over the bridge and out the other side, five miles to Winchelsea, turning off to go up the hill under the old town gate, parking near the village shop.
Whereas Rye was already busy, Winchelsea was quiet, and just past ten meaning the church had just opened.
We walk across the large churchyard through the ruins of the tower and into the church, where the triple wide nave was lines on the north and south walls with fine wall tombs.
I photograph each on in turn, and the corbel heads on each too.
I rephotograph the fine windows too, as despite being modern, they really are on another level.
One or two people come in, a family of three last 30 seconds before the mother and teenage son leave.
After completing the shots, I go out to meet up with Jools so we can walk to the shop to have ice cream, and sit to eat them on a bench looking at the north wall of the church.
-------------------------------------------
The town was planned on a gridiron pattern with the church occupying a dominant two-acre site near the centre. It was planned on a grand scale and work started in 1288 to erect a magnificent Gothic edifice, with a chancel and choir, two side chapels, a central tower, transepts and a great nave.
Building stone came from Caen in Normandy, marble from the west of Sussex and timber rafters made of sound Sussex oak. Highly skilled stonemasons worked on the carvings which include handsome sedilia in the chancel and side chapel. Three effigies of polished marble – once thought to have been rescued from the church in Old Winchelsea – were placed on the north side in memory of an unknown warrior, his wife and son, possibly the Godfrey family.
The first of the two chantries on the south side was endowed in 1312 by Stephen Alard to contain a tomb of supreme workmanship in memory of Gervase Alard, Admiral of the Western Fleet, probably Stephen’s father. The stone effigy is in full armour with raised hands to enclose a heart and a lion crouching at the feet. Two large angels supported the double cushion on which the head rests. A marginal inscription promises fifty days of pardon for those who pray for his soul. The delicately carved arch of the recessed canopy springs from the heads of King Edward I and his second wife, Margaret. The tomb provided the background for Sir John Millais’ painting ’L’Enfant du Regiment.’
The second monument is of a later date, with the arch springing from the heads of Edward II and Queen Isabella, sometimes known as ‘the she-wolf of France.’ It is reputed to be the tomb of Stephen Alard himself, who became Admiral of the Cinque Ports and the Western Fleet.
The centre of each canopy is surmounted by the head of a Green Man, a prominent pagan figure, associated with tree worship from at least as early as 500BC.
In 1337, in one of the first skirmishes of the Hundred Years War, the new town of Winchelsea was attacked and badly damaged in a French raid. Eleven years later the town was struck by the Black Death, which carried off, among many others, the Rector of St Thomas’, John Glynde.
In 1359 the French returned with a force of some three thousand men, gaining entrance one Sunday morning through the New Gate. There was little resistance as the men of the town were away on a similar mission of destruction in France. The women and children sheltered in St. Giles’s Church, now lost, where many of them were butchered ‘without regard to age, sex, degree or order.’
There was a further French raid in 1360 and, in 1380, a powerful Franco-Castilian fleet arrived to ‘fire Winchelsea and the approaches of London’. It is likely that this raid resulted in severe damage to the original nave. Over the next 100 years further deterioration occurred, including the collapse of the tower and transepts. Only very limited restoration work was affordable, particularly as the wealth of Winchelsea was ebbing away with the sea. The church was blocked off at the west end of the choir and a new entrance porch added in Tudor times.
During the Sixteenth Century Reformation, Winchelsea’s Dominican and Franciscan endowments were confiscated and later pulled down, including the hospitals.
On the accession of Queen Mary in 1547, the rector Peter Danyell was deprived of his living and replaced by the Catholic Robert Jordan. Danyell was reinstated on the accession of Queen Elizabeth in 1559.
During these turbulent years the interior of the church fell into a deplorable state of repair, made worse by the decline of trade due to the silting up of the town’s harbour and, possibly, to damage by Puritan iconoclasts. By the 1660s the diarist John Evelyn wrote of the ‘forlorn ruins’ he found in Winchelsea.
By the eighteenth century John Wesley, who came to preach here, wrote of ‘that poor skeleton of Ancient Winchelsea with its large church now in ruins.’
long serving rector at the time was the formidable Drake Hollingberry who held the living from 1767 to 1822. During his incumbency a large Georgian rectory was built on the site of the old St. Giles’, with many of its stones going to build a new harbour wall at Winchelsea Beach. An ancient Saxon tower which stood in the churchyard was also demolished for this purpose.
During the Napoleonic Wars several different regiments were lodged in Winchelsea‘s Barrack Square. The Church Register records that 72 soldiers belonging to various regiments were buried in the churchyard during the Peninsular War (1808-14).
In the early years of the nineteenth century, the church had become so dilapidated that it was declared ‘almost unfit for public worship’, but in 1850 the perilous condition of the fabric was finally realised and extensive repairs carried out. Since that time a constant watch has been kept on the state of the fabric, both inside and outside the church.
The three windows in the south aisle are dedicated to the themes of Land, Air and Fire, and Sea. The work of Dr Douglas Strachan (1875-1950) they are regarded as some of the finest stained glass of the modern era. They were presented to the church as a gift from Lord Blanesborough of Greyfriars and dedicated in 1933 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of representatives of the Cinque Ports and the Ancient Towns.
The altar and retable in the Lady Chapel were also presented by Lord Blanesborough at this time as was the splendid organ above the west porch.
The windows on the south aisle were also designed and installed by Dr Strachan, including the beautiful east window which dominates the view of the church when entering through the west porch. The unusual window over the sedilia in the south wall commemorates the heroism of the crew of the Rye lifeboat, the Mary Stanford, who lost their lives while going to the rescue of another ship during a great storm in November 1928.
The clock on the north side of the tower was overhauled in Jubilee Year 1977 and again in 1998/9 when the beautiful dial was repainted. The cost was partly born by the Friends of Winchelsea Church, a voluntary organisation started in 1966 to raise money to help maintain the fabric of this beautiful church and to whom the parish owes a great debt of gratitude for the maintenance work that has been carried out in recent years.

NCAA Men's Gymnastics-Senior team captain Jonathan Hoey and junior Nicholas Fettinger set career highs posting runner-up finishes on pommel horse (14.9) and parallel bars (14.5), respectively. Hoey, who trailed Penn State's Tony Beck's winning mark of 15.3 on the horse in tonight's preliminaries, is the defending champion in that event. Fettinger was edged for first-place honors on parallel bars by Penn State's Matthew Felleman's 14.6. It is the second straight year that Hoey and Fettinger advanced to the finals in those respective events. Also making the grade for Saturday's individual finals were freshman Jeremy Cahill with a 14.4 on floor exercise (tied for ninth), junior Garrek Hojan-Clark tying for eighth on pommel horse (14.5), along with freshman Alex Ganz with a seventh on parallel bars (13.9). Ganz placed fourth in the all-around scoring with a 79.2, and just missed advancing on still rings after tying for 10th with a 14.0. He also placed 20th on pommel horse (13.5). The Black Knights set season highs on floor exercise (55.1) and pommel horse (57.3), and equaled their mark on parallel bars (54.2) in third placing showings in all three team events. Army's 326.2 composite is its highest point total at this meet since the new scoring system was introduced in 2009. The Black Knights posted a 320.0 in last year's third-place showing and a 321.85 in a fourth-place finish in 2010 Junior Jared Breeden turned in Army's second highest scores on floor exercise (13.9) and still rings (13.5) in placing 16th and 19th, respectively. Senior Chase Brown recorded Army's top mark on vault (14.2) placing 15th among a field of 44 competitors, finished 18th on high bar (12.9) and tied for 20th on floor exercise (13.6). Freshman Mike Tserkovnyuk just missed advancing on pommel horse after tying for 10th place with a 14.4. Photo by Tommy Gilligan/West Point Public Affairs.
This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon held at Killeigh, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 09:00 on Saturday 9th November 2013. This is the second East of Ireland Marathon Series race outside of Dublin following on from the EOI Marathon in Dondea/Stapelstown in September 2013. This is race number 7 in the East of Ireland Marathon Series 2013. The race follows a 4.5 mile loop starting and finishing in Killeigh Village. Runners must complete this loop six times for the marathon distance.
The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The serires organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded. This is to keep the price down and keep the races as affordable as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans.
This photograph is part of a Flickr set of photographs we took at this event. The Flickr set is available here [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157637454911025/]. This set includes photographs from the start, in-race, and finish of the race.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: The East of Ireland marathon series stricly limits the number of participants. There were about 50 participants in the race today.
Weather: The overnight frost meant that it was a calm but very chilly start to the race. There was some beautiful periods of November sunshine with only a headwind for runnners as they made their way back into Killeigh at the end of the loop.
Course: The race is ran on a challenging route around Killeigh. The route must be repeated 6 times for the marathon distance. The race starts at the Killeigh National School (goo.gl/maps/IKb2g) and proceeds northwards towards the R420 road. The route takes a right turn at this point (goo.gl/maps/2h12A) and follows the local road. The route merges with the road southwards back into Killeigh at this point (goo.gl/maps/d0Q8x). Runners take to the footpath then when this road merges with the busy Tullamore Portloaise Road (goo.gl/maps/beu5s). The route takes another right at Doyle's Pub on the Corner and the single loop is complete. There are several stiff short climbs in the route which can disrupt racing pace as the loops continue.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

This is a photograph from the Longford Athletics Club 5KM and 10KM Road Race which was held at The Mall, Templemichael Road (Longford Leisure Center), Longford Town, Ireland on Sunday 16th March 2014 at 11:00. The race was organised in conjunction with Longford Sports Partnership and also featured a special 5KM race for Junior runners and joggers. The race was AAI approved and measured with chip timing provided for all participants. The race has expanded since last year with the addition of a 5KM option for participants.

Our full set of photographs from today's races is available in the Flickr photoset: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157633023180717/
Route Description: The 5KM race took one loop of the following course description whilst the 10KM simply repeated the loop a second time. The race started about 1/2 KM from the Sports Center on the link road to the N4: start (goo.gl/maps/3xaRb Google Streetview). The race then proceeds in a clock-wise direction onto the N4 Bypass (goo.gl/maps/jVv1e Google Streetview) for about 1KM. Then the race turns at the well known McDonald's Roundabout which will be known to anyone who has ran in the Longford Half or Full Marathon (McDonalds goo.gl/maps/6lFIF Google Streetview) and then follows the R198 towards the town center along Battery Road and Crosskeys, Church Street to Bridge Street crossing the Camlin River and then left onto Great Water Street returning back to Templemicheal and the finish area. The only climb on the course is the rise at the McDonald's Roundabout. On the By-pass participants were marshalled onto the walking path inside the hard shoulder.
The race was organised in conjunction with Longford Sports Partnership which was established in 2008 under the auspices of Longford County Development Board. One of the key mission goals of Longford Sports Partnership is to increase participation in sport and physical recreation and ensure that local resources are used to best effect. The Partnership also help to ensure enhanced planning of sport at local level.
This was a very well organised event and the members of Longford AC and the Sports Partnership deserve great credit for this. The running of the 5KM and 10KM races simultaneously worked very well. There were about 180 participants in both races combined. Refreshments were served in the Scouts Hall beside the Leisure Center after the race.

If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Posting these as an example for a tutorial I've written. These were done by birdsong89130 for the November Artistamp ATC swap last year. These were all individually hand-rendered and painted; gorgeous in person.
Middleton WI
On the evening of Monday August 20, 2018, and into the morning of the next day, a storm system moved across southern Wisconsin, dropping as much as 15.3 inches of rain in western Dane County.
Wisconsin & Southern Railroad's Prairie Subdivision follows Black Earth Creek between Middleton and Arena, a distance of about 19 miles, including 13 crossings. With the major flooding of the creek and low-lying areas, WSOR sustained massive damage to the line, including dozens of washouts and several landslides.

(būz'hound') n. Slang
One who drinks alcoholic beverages habitually and excessively.
Kelly was passed out and I took advantage of the situation and came up with this idea out of the blue. She helped me demonstrate the term "booze hound".
What I am curious about is where did this term come from? Sure we have many definitions of what it means... but who coined the term?

Posting this reference photo for fellow Barbie collectors & fans. Found on the internet - photo not taken by me.
I'm still months behind on posting my photos. These photos were taken in June and early July of this year (2022).
I'll try to get caught up in the near future.
I've been wearing these clogs since the late 1970s when my older pair started to break apart. Something like 15 years ago, the adhesive that held the rubber pads on the sole failed, but I glued them back on.
A couple of years later, the new glue came loose. I saved the forefoot pads, but the heel pads fell off and were lost before I noticed. I glued the forefoot pads on again (actually several times, the glue doesn't hold well, and is coming loose again).
I've let the wood heel wear down, I have no real choice as the rubber pads are gone. When they are worn down flat, I'll probably let the forefoot pads fall off and eventually this pair will break in pieces like my older ones have.
I do own several newer clogs, but never wear them.
Just couldn't resist posting this one too! Haven't posted a shot of Legend in a while. He's 5 and 1/2 months old already and growing fast. :} He recently fractured his shoulder a couple weeks ago so he actually has a cast on his right leg but the flag is covering it. It should be coming off in another week or two though.

This is a picture of our 2002 Honda Civic from about a month ago taken in the parking lot of a Forest Preserve of Cook County. This seems like it shouldn't relate to the trip pictures I've been posting, but you can consider this a sort of prologue to a long, multi-part post.
You might remember a post from the last Big Trip we took when I suggested our faithful Honda, dubbed the Gabby Cat of automobiles (in reference to our rickety and recently deceased cat), was on its last treads. (Here's the post.) I theorized that the Utah trip would be the Honda's last. We maybe should have gone with that.
There's no escaping it, the car's old. It had just over 292,000 miles on the odometer when we started this trip, and after years of hard work it was finally showing its age. I've known for a while that it was losing engine compression, and we've had one of those persistent oil leaks you can't fix for the amount of money you want to spend on a 14-year-old Honda. (I actually consider this kind of an advantage, because as long as I remember to add a quart every so often, the oil changes itself.) But the end seemed to be coming in a thousand little cuts. I told Robin toward the beginning of this year that one of these days, the car would suffer some catastrophic failure that would come without warning, and that we'd best be ready for it.
Then all sorts of little things started breaking all at once, coming in a cascading series of escalating failures. The car failed its emissions test over the summer, and while I thought at the time that we might be better off directing the money we'd need to fix it into a down payment, Robin wanted to push it to the end of the year. We spent about $500 on some sensor and kept on going. Two months ago, we bought a new set of tires to get through the winter. One month ago on the day I took this picture, the alternator crapped out while I was on the offramp onto I-55 from the Tristate Tollway. I almost got it home, but wound up losing it at an inconvenient stop light and had to push it about a thousand feet to get it out of traffic. And that's how it wound up sitting in the parking lot seen above. We had to have it towed from this lot to an Oak Park mechanic.
When the guys who fixed the alternator left us with a lose belt and a semi-permanent squeal I had to get fixed, Robin finally had enough and decided it was time to pack it in. Unfortunately, this decision came one week before the Big Trip, and we aren't people who can go buy a car in a week. We'd made our bed, and now we'd have to drive it to Arizona.

I attended the Youth Encounter Quake-Zone in Morristown NJ with my church kids this past weekend. These first 3 are Instagrams posted during the weekend.
Saturday breakfast.
Just posting a couple of not-so-great shots from this place that I love. I can do better, but I may not get the chance. The light can be really harsh and nasty shooting down at this end of Baring this time of year, but by the time it improves, the old signals may be gone. The new stuff is already up just across the highway bridge at East Baring . . . so I'm glad for whatever I get nowdays.
So, I keep posting pictures of myself in skirts even though I wear trousers 90% of the time. I guess that I think my normal outfits are boring. Anyway, this one is:
- Lane Bryant Right Fit jeans from sometime in the aughts. (the pear shaped kind, obv.)
- Yet another one of my six year old Target cotton/wool sweaters that I paid $10 each for and that turned out to be one of my best bargains ever, because I've been wearing them all the time for years and they never wear out.
- A cotton/spandex shirt from Winners (also know as TJ/TK Maxx), 2008, maybe?
- A cloth necklacy thing my mom in law gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago
- Earrings that I got at the Polmodie car boot sale for £1 last week.
- A brand new pair of ankle boots that my mom got me for Christmas when she was visiting recently.
As I noted in my previous posting, we're early joiners in my neighbourhood, keen to embrace the latest technology, with a soft spot for boosting our green credentials. This is a BMW, but not your usual Beemer. It's a BMW i3, also marketed as the BMW Mega City Vehicle, one of the first on UK roads. Appropriately enough, my neighbour who owns this is German. He likes it, says it's very reliable, ideal for London's traffic and has a range between charges of around 100 miles. I'm sticking to the bus meanwhile.
Just posting for fun. I know the focus is off, but she's being such a goof I had to post this one! :)

I'll try to get caught up in the near future.
I bought these very lightweight loafers back in the 1980s. The soles wore through in under a month, similarly to my jazz shoes. When the holes got too big for winter wear, I had hlf-sols added to them. But the original leather soles disintegrated with age and broke free near the heels.
Now they are a pair off half-flip-flop loafers with soles that dangle like my broken Adidas SpringBlades.
