Compton Acres Garden, Poole, Dorset
The gardens are situated at 164 Canford Cliffs, POOLE, Dorset, BH13 7ES. It is a privately owned garden, founded in 1920 by Thomas William Simpson. He was a business man whose wealth came from the production of Margarine.
From the 1920s – 1930s he began to create a series of enclosed gardens, seven in all, at the staggering cost of £220k. They were filled with sculptures and other architectural features.
The thought was, that even at an early stage of its construction that it was going to be a ‘tourist attraction’.
Unfortunately Mr Simpson died in 1944, this was followed by another death in the form of Mr. Middleton, the Head Gardener. These deaths plus the call-up of other staff lead to the gardens falling into disrepair. In 1950 the garden were sold to J. Stanley Beard a London architect who was responsible for a programme of restoration and by 1952 now complete, it was open to the public.
During that time new paths were laid, many other plantings were carried out. It changed hands again in 1964 but it still remained open. Since then the main house was sold as was part of the northern and southern boundary plus some of the woodland.
The garden now is divided between five smaller sub-gardens:
The Italian Garden: When you first see this garden from the end of the pond looking down to the Domed Temple it is spectacular. At the top end are two statues representing Wrestlers of Herculaneum. The pond itself is surrounded with brightly coloured planting and in the water are many water lilies and a fountain. To the left is the Italianate Villa with its brightly painted walls and statues on the roof and as you walk down the path other shrubs and manicured bushes. There are quite a few seats dotted around so that you can enjoy the experience.
The Wooded Valley: Here the woodland of Pine trees, where Rhododendrons and Camelias grow in some abundance. Winding footpaths and waterfalls along with other plants such as Ferns and Foxgloves make a wonderful setting.
Rock and Water Garden: There is a thought that Compton Acres has the largest rock garden in private hands in England. It consists of over 300 different plants which include alpines, conifers, spring and summer bulbs.
The Heather Garden: Here, there is a garden, again with many different species of Heather, some not easily grown in other gardens but the south coast has a much better climate enabling them to thrive. It is at its best in Spring, although it is still a very colourful space throughout the year.
The Japanese Garden: There is an odd shaped pool which is surrounded by Bamboos, Azelea and Maples. Wonderful colours, together with a collection of figures, lanterns, stone pagodas and a thatched Japanese-style summerhouse. This is covered in Wisteria in season. Many of the items were purchased in Japan, even the fish were exported under licence.
The garden covers 10 acres, it has many pieces of sculpture and architectural features scattered throughout the site. It also has a tea-room, a very important place which does nice tea and cake. What could be better after the experience of seeing the garden?
at the Landschaftspark Duisburg, which is a public park located in Duisburg-Meiderich, Germany. It was designed in 1991 by Latz + Partner (Peter Latz), with the intention that it work to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it. The park closely associates itself with the past use of the site: a coal and steel production plant (abandoned in 1985, leaving the area significantly polluted) and the agricultural land it had been prior to the mid 19th century.

Thinking of my sweet gray asymmetrical boy's traits and fitting those to a probable and fitting day job....I know he would shine as a production manager...he likes his people to be in their places at expected times doing their routines. If not, there is the 'scowl' and verbiage and perfected body language. JAX keeps us in line! Happy Caturday to everyone.
One of my favourite little inland villages in Cornwall is Lerryn, which sits astride the Lerryn River. This in turn feeds into the River Fowey. Much of the surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
A silver smelting house operated here between 1556 and 1583 with the ore coming from various mines in Cornwall. In 1573 Queen Elizabeth ordered that a rate be levied for rebuilding the bridge in order to aid production of silver.
Lerryn functioned as a port until the early 20th century, by which time the river had silted up. four lime kilns date from the early 1800s. As Cornwall has little limestone of its own it would have been imported and turned into lime in the kilns. It was then used by farmers to help improve the soil of their fields.

Ironmen production wall. Done in our hometown. This time it was Romeo on the character and Mega on the background for a change...
This is an aerial shot of the Tata Salt Plant near Northwich, Cheshire. I believe salt has been extracted in this area for several hundred years, certainly before anyone had heard of Tata. The firm produces sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and of course, sodium chloride.
Opening soon! A Silas Merlin - CK Ballyhoo co-production. A story of a hazy world. Keep an eye on this space for the opening announcement!
The year is 1947 - not so long after the disasterous World War II, not to mention the Great Depression, which also "helped" to throw the car production of the United States into long hiatus. Yet again the need in new and fresh vehicles was inevitable.
Hereby, Vapid Motor Company presents its latest line of cars - 1947 Vapid Sled-series, called that after the main model - Vapid Sledgehammer, thoroughly reconverted into Powersleigh pickup truck. This Elemental-trimmed utility vehicle with simplified rear bumper is bearing only the most crucial things which are important for the working class - no unnecessary fancy gloss and all. 140-ci V8 engine is relatively economical and allows you to drive all across Columbia without worries about embarrasingly huge gas paychecks. And, on top of that, that exact model is available now at your nearest Vapid dealership - starting just from $1399*!
*the exact price may differ with accordance to the chosen options, car condition, color scheme, upper side of a flipped coin, astrological predictions, amount of loose parts, et cetera. Actual pricelist is available at all local Vapid Motor Co. Deal & Service shops.
Orchids to the Orchidaceous — That's the motto of Buford W. Hall, well-known orchid impresario of Los Angeles, who has named his newest variety of the tropical flower "Typhoon" in honor of Dorothy Lamour's new picture. The film, made entirely in Technicolor, reveals the colorful beauty of tropic fauna, and Hall's blossoms will be prominent in the set dressing.

The Fiat Regata was launched in Sept. 1983. It was the emplacement of the Fiat 131.
The Regata shared some body parts with the Fiat Ritmo/Strava (see comments below). It was also technically based on the Ritmo.
In Nov. 1984 an estate version was added to the Regata range: the Regata Weekend.
ES stands for 'Energy Saving'. It was the economical version.
A restyle followed in 1986.
They are not much seen in Europe these days, even not in Italy.
