Early on a Sunday morning in mid March 1988 an arsonist set alight the Newbury bus depot of The Bee Line. As a result 23 buses were destroyed but many were saved thanks to the prompt actions of fire brigades, staff and neighbours. Services were maintained using buses from other Bee Line depots and a selection of hired in buses from nearby operators.
I visited Newbury in late March 1988 and again in May 1989 to capture the bus scene at the depot and bus station.
The 23 buses lost in the inferno were:
Leyland National: 306, 320, 330, 337, 345, 357, 376;
Bristol VRT: 506, 514, 515, 527, 528, 537, 538, 571, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576;
Leyland Tiger / Plaxton: 755;
Leyland Olympian / ECW: 804;
Bristol VRT trainer: DT92.
Of particular note are VRTs 571-6. These had only just been acquired from Northumbria and were being prepped for service with The Bee Line.
As a direct result of the vehicle losses, Newbury received a fleet of Optare StarRiders and, from South Wales, six secondhand VRTs and a Leyland National.
Just archiving a couple of new dresses.
The argyle is applique'd patches. I tried making argyle socks (they came out really cute!) which turned out to be the stainy-est material I have ever used. They went in the trash and the design worked its way up onto the dresses.
This is the person to credit who painted the mustaches on each of the waiters face that was participating in the Bastille Waiters Race. Such a wonderful event. Happy to hear the event will return in 2025. In 2019 was the last year the event was held in Sacramento.
Sits in a patch of sunlight in my kitchen. Lit from a skylight above and left, it gets very harsh light surrounded by shadow.

Prepping the food whilst I watch Jacques Pepin & Julia Child preparing food on my iPad. I have watched these two on t.v. and on the internet for many years.

Motor Vipers are some of my favorite troop builders, so I extended their mechanical duties to the helipad.

You'll need a wire mesh file organizer, two rubber door stops, a package of small adhesive gripper pads, and a tube of glue that will work on rubber.
Getting ingredients together for an afternoon of cooking for friends. Equally important ingredients not included in the frame - Billie Holiday and a glass of red wine.

Day 129 [5-8-2016]
Eric is back! So now that Eric has returned from college, I invited him along with George, Paul, and Scott on a hike through a large state park that holds many abandoned structures. Or used to as we discovered throughout our hike. All of the buildings were torn down leaving only a small strip of recently vacated houses right off of the main road. Luckily the part is still beautiful itself to walk through with my good friends. After our adventure we went to dinner where we all talked and had a grand old time. I love hanging out with all these guys. Dudes night out is slowly making its way back.
Can't wait to see what the next day brings!
