KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers. Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives there.
Today is Teddy day! Otherwise known as the date we set as Teddy’s birthday. He passed away just 3 days after his 14th birthday, now already two years ago. What a wonderful, gentle cat he was, with so many endearing and quirky traits. I probably never posted the photo above because the focus is off. I had almost forgotten how he liked to sleep in the sink in the summer (this from August 2010), and how he sometimes had a “food-dipped” nose…lol ;-) Some other random photos I recently pulled from my archives follow in the comment section.
He loved Christmas, the activity in the house (even the guests), the wrapping and tissue paper, and especially the tree (in a good, non-destructive way--I know that time sweetens memories, but I honestly can’t remember a time when he misbehaved.) He could often be found relaxing in “his” chair gazing at the decorations and lights. I missed his help when we brought this year’s tree home—he always enjoyed a sip from the freshly filled stand, and napping on the tree skirt before it was put in place. And he and Ollie used to go wild running circles around the tree—I was forever straightening the skirt and putting scattered toys away, (I made sure to put non-breakable ornaments on the lower portion ;-) Ollie carries on the tradition, making sure the tree skirt is always in need of fixing, and kept me company today while I hung the lights.
Happy Birthday dear Teddy, I’ll always miss you :-)
Wakering Photography Group Spring Photo Marathon 2022.
Six images in Five hours on Six given topics.
Category 1 :- Remember When (National Retro Day).
The group met up at 10.00 am Sunday 27th February 2022 at Morleys Nursery Tea Room Great Wakering to register their empty camera card for the challenge, the categories were given at that time.
1/ Remember When…National Retro Day.
2/ Something Sweet.
3/ Fluffy.
4/ Balanced.
5/ Yellow.
6/ Reflections
All images had to be in Jpeg, No Post Processing, just one image per category, we had to return to our groups meeting place, the Great Wakering Royal British Legion Club by 3.00 pm.
The images were downloaded to our club laptop and were stored for judging by three independent judges, the results will be declared at our Photography Group meeting Monday 11th April 2022.
Around 1958 this Vista 3D screen was a Weetabix promotion, you had to cut the voucher from the cereal box and send it off in the post.
The cards were then added to the subsequent cereal boxes, these cards and viewers can still be found on on the usual internet sites.
Needless to say this is a cherished family artefact, my Grandchildren still love to look at the images today.
I am delighted to say this was voted in 1st place in this category.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen our Photography Group Secretary and Organiser for all her hard work time and effort in running a fabulous set of challenges.

◈ Phnom Penh, Cambodia 🇰🇭 ◈
Memorial Stupa at Choeung Ek. Between 1975 and 1978 about 17,000 men, women, children and infants who had been detained and tortured at S-21 were transported to the extermination camp of Choeung Ek. It is a peaceful place today, where visitors can learn of the horrors that unfolded here decades ago.

Bank Holiday Monday's 17.37 CAR - BIF eases past Merchants' Quay on approach to Workington station behind No.37423.
A view across the South Downs National Park at dusk.
This view reminded me of A E Housman's poem
"Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again."
