Murchison Falls, also known as Kabalega Falls, is a waterfall between Lake Kyoga and Lake Albert on the Victoria Nile in Uganda. At the top of Murchison Falls, the Nile forces its way through a gap in the rocks, only 7 m wide, and tumbles 43 m, before flowing westward into Lake Albert. The outlet of Lake Victoria sends around 300 cubic meters per second of water over the falls, squeezed into a gorge less than 10 m wide.

Samuel and Florence Baker were the first Europeans who definitely sighted them. Baker named them after Roderick Murchison, the President of the Royal Geographical Society. The falls lend their name to the surrounding Murchison Falls National Park.

During the regime of Idi Amin in the 1970s, the name was changed to Kabalega Falls, after the Omukama (King) Kabalega of Bunyoro, although this was never legally promulgated. The name reverted to Murchison Falls following the downfall of Amin.

In August 2019, Uganda rejected a hydropower project by South Africa’s Bonang Power and Energy in order to preserve the Falls, one of the country's most lucrative tourism sites.

The Antwerp Central Station, also known as Middenstatie (Middle station) or Spoorwegkathedraal (Railroad Cathedral), was first used in 1905. The structure is made up from a steel platform covering and a stone station building in an eclectic style. Recently, the station was completely renovated and in 2007 a tunnel underneath the station and a part of Antwerp was opened, reverting the station’s status as a terminus where are all trains have to turn back. In 2009, the American magazine Newsweek chose the Antwerp Central Station as the fourth most beautiful train station in the world.

Bedgebury National Pinetum at Bedgebury, Kent, in the United Kingdom, is a recreational and conservational arboretum and, with the National Arboretum at Westonbirt, comprises the UK National Arboreta. It was established as the National Conifer Collection in 1925 and is now recognised as the most complete collection of conifers on one site anywhere in the world. The collection has over 10,000 trees growing across 320 acres (1.3 km2), including rare, endangered and historically important specimens. Bedgebury National Pinetum conducts conservation work and is home to some 56 vulnerable or critically endangered species and houses five NCCPG National Plant Collections.

Bedgebury is first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter in AD 841, the name deriving from the Old English bycgan, meaning "buy", and the Kentish vecge, meaning "to bend or turn", possibly in reference to a stream.

John de Bedgebury is listed as the earliest resident of Bedgebury, in the time of Edward II. In the 15th century Agnes de Bedgebury, sister and heir of John (died 1424) married John Colepeper, whose Colepeper heirs, financed by mining clay-ironstone on the estate, were resident until at the time of the restoration of Charles II, and who created an ornamental park on the Bedgebury estate. Elizabeth I visited in August 1573.

The current house was built in 1688 for Sir James Hayes, a little apart from the old house. The estate later passed to the Stephenson family, who retained it until it was left to a Miss Peach, who sold it in 1789 to John Cartier, Governor of Bengal and High Sheriff of Kent, who improved the plantings and the house.

In the 1840s Viscount William Beresford developed the estate by creating the village of Kilndown and three lodges, one of which – Keepers Lodge, now known as Park House – became the centre of the Pinetum. Beresford initiated the pinetum in the 1850s and his successor, his stepson Alexander Beresford Hope, developed Lady Mildred's Drive to enable visitors in carriages to view the trees. The estate was sold in 1899 to Isaac Lewis, who allowed the collection to fall into neglect, and it was purchased by the Crown Estate in 1918 for its marshy land and drier ridges, as well as its streams, lakes and valleys. In 1919, the house was bought by the Church Education Corporation to operate as a school. The school closed in 2006.

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and the Forestry Commission established the site as The National Pinetum in a joint venture in 1924, as the National Conifer Collection, because air pollution was rendering London unsuitable for growing conifers. A site at the southern end of Bedgebury Park was chosen, centred on Marshall's Lake and a stream-filled valley.

The first plants for the pinetum were raised at Kew Gardens in 1921 and transferred to Bedgebury in 1925 and 1926, alongside Viscount Beresford's existing plantings. Development of the collection was managed by the Kew botanist William Dallimore, a world-renowned expert on conifers.

In 1969 management of the pinetum reverted solely to the Forestry Commission, who extended it in 1977 and created two new lakes. In the Great Storm of 1987 almost a quarter of the trees were brought down. The aim of Bedgebury National Pinetum is "to grow as many species of conifers as the climatic conditions will allow, planted in generic groupings, using geographically associated plantings where possible." (W. Dallimore, 1923)

The pinetum holds 10,000 specimens of conifers and other species that grow in temperate zones, including 7,000 trees, as living gene banks and as a genetic resource for future restoration programmes. It holds 2,300 different species of conifer, specimens of which include the tallest tree in Kent (Abies grandis) and the three tallest Leyland Cypresses in the UK. The plan is for the pinetum to provide a mix of 70% conifers to 30% broadleaves, and to leave 40% of the site open to provide vistas and allow the trees to be appreciated.

Bedgebury National Pinetum is home to six NCCPG National Plant Collections: Yew, Juniper, Thuja, Lawson's Cypress, Leyland Cypress and Cryptomeria japonica. The collection contains 56 species that have been officially declared vulnerable or critically endangered. The scale and quality of Bedgebury National Pinetum's conifer collection have made it an ideal site to take part in the International Conifer Conservation Programme (ICCP), run by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The ICCP aims to promote the conservation of conifers through conservation work, research and education, and work carried out at Bedgebury makes up part of the effort to conserve the genetic diversity of conifers, particularly those from temperate forests.

The Bedgebury Conifer Conservation Project, initiated in 2007, is designed to use redundant forest plots to grow large numbers – up to 500 – of endangered conifers to provide an ex-situ genetic resource. The first plots were planted with Chilean plum yew by Boy Scouts celebrating their centenary in 2007, and future plantings will include samples from Europe, Asia, North America and Australasia.

Bedgebury nursery was the first to germinate Vietnamese golden cypress (Xanthocyparis vietnamensis) and chichibu birch (Betula chichibuensis) seeds in cultivation.

Abundan los proverbios —que, por cierto, aparecen escritos también en los kangas, el vestido de vivos colores de las mujeres swahilis— y las historias misteriosas. La fábula tiene siempre su moraleja. Y hay, tal vez como herencia de los bantúes, numerosos relatos sobre animales. La mujer, como sucede en todo el Oriente, es protagonista de multitud de historias y reproduce, con otros nombres, muchos de los personajes femeninos que aparecen en la Biblia: la desobediente Eva, la celosa Sara, la adúltera Zhuleika y la tentadora esposa de Putifar. Todas las mujeres son en estos relatos seres débiles y astutos. El objetivo fundamental de sus vidas es la satisfacción sexual, que logran siempre a base de trucos y malas artes. Casi todas son caprichosas y una buena mayoría engañan a sus maridos. En muchos relatos, por encima del fatalismo, hay a menudo un rasgo de humor, una cucharadita de azúcar para aliviar el amargor del pesimismo.

Entre las historias más misteriosas, y descargada de cualquier sentido religioso, se encuentra la de «La hiena». Relata la historia de un cazador que, mientras duerme una noche en la selva, es atacado por una de estas fieras. Logra huir de ella y encuentra refugio en una casa, donde hay una mujer muy hermosa. La mujer le atiende, le da de comer y finalmente duermen juntos y hacen el amor. Al siguiente día, antes de irse, el hombre le pregunta cómo se llama. Y ella responde: «Yo soy la hiena». La historia recuerda un cuento escrito por el narrador norteamericano Ambrose Bierce, que a comienzos de este siglo escribió una historia muy parecida en la que la hiena es una pantera.

Un gracioso relato es el de «El señor Listo y el señor Tonto». Al parecer, el señor Tonto no tenía éxito con las mujeres y pidió consejo al señor Listo. Éste aconsejó a aquél que comprase una caja con una mixtura masticable muy apreciada en la costa, probablemente mima. El señor Tonto la compró, paseó por la ciudad y logró al fin seducir a una mujer: la esposa del señor Listo. El relato tiene una moraleja: «No hay que enseñar nada a un tonto».

La historia de Rugendo es triste. Rugendo era muy guapo y todas las mujeres del pueblo estaban locas por él. Celosos, los otros hombres le llevaron de caza. No le avisaron que había una trampa escondida en cier-to lugar, Rugendo pisó sobre ella, cayó al agujero, se clavó la pica y murió. Los hombres volvieron al pueblo con el cadáver diciendo que le había corneado un rinoceronte. Las mujeres lloraron y guardaron luto varios días por Rugendo, mientras los hombres, en secreto, celebraban una gran fiesta. La moraleja dice así: «Es mejor no ser demasiado guapo».

Los cuentos sobre juicios son frecuentes. Uno de ellos relata la historia de un hombre que trabajaba como reparador de techos. Estando subido en uno se escurrió y cayó sobre un hombre muy rico que pasaba por la calle en ese momento. El hombre murió, mientras que el arreglador de techos resultó ileso. La familia del muerto recurrió al juez y pidió ser indemnizada con una fuerte cantidad de dinero. El juez, después de mucho cavilar, resolvió que un miembro de la familia del muerto podría subir a un tejado y caer sobre el reparador de techos, para castigarle así por su des-cuido. Termina la historia señalando que la familia del rico sigue discutiendo quién se tirará del tejado, mientras que el acusado continúa en su oficio, «por la gracia de Alá».

Everyone has been angry and knows what anger is. Anger can vary widely (from mild irritation to intense fury) and can be sparked by a variety of things (specific people, events, memories, or personal problems). Anger is a natural and potentially productive emotion. However, anger can get out of control and become destructive and problematic.

After initiating a talons-first attack, Green Heron fails to follow through, instead extending its neck and plucking up its target with head in the water as usual on Horsepen Bayou.

I had to revert to a photo of Charlie Brown today, taken in August when he and Leo spend a week at our home, as I had no time for new cat photos today and our cats seem to hibernate anyway. The butterfly above Charlie's head is an old and rusty garden decoration and looks bigger in this photo than it really is. As it doesn't move, Charlie wasn't interested in it at all. :)

This orchid was given to me as a Christmas present in 2020. It was given to me as a 'Blue Orchid'.

I was pleased to see that it was setting new buds Christmas 2021 a year later. I was interested to see what it's natural colour would be as blue orchids have die injected into them.

This little beauty has emerged over the last few days. It is still only 5mm across, so I am looking forward to seeing it in full bloom (along with the other 4 blooms)

First upload form my sailing trip last week. Reverted reflections of a yellow boat. Maybe to arty for most but I liked it:p

Made up of over 700 miles of man made "concrete and pipe" river, the California Aqueduct system provides water to Los Angeles County and it's population of over 10 million. That's more people than 42 States have. For years now farmers haven't been getting the water they're allotted and paid for due to several reasons that I'm not going to get into, political according to farmers, environmental according to politicians. Los Angeles gets its water, while many farms have reverted to basically desert waste land. Took this picture off I-5 near Patterson California at the top of a hillside scenic view point.

On Wednesday I was hoping it would be third time lucky and I might actually get to see a Supermoon. I went up on the Westwood overlooking Beverley and after a wait in the very cold wind. The moon suddenly rose through the clouds the colours were amazing. As it rose higher it reverted back to the more normal colours for the moon. I don’t think I haver consciously watched the moon rising before and it was well worth having dead feet and hands

I have not modified the colours at all and apart from a crop its SOOC not a perfect shot but I am very pleased to have any sort of image at all

-A finales del siglo XIX, tras las últimas guerras coloniales, la construcción naval militar española sufrió un estancamiento. Después de varias tentativas frustradas de revertir esta situación, en 1908 fue aprobada la ley Maura- Ferrándiz.

Por ella, se cedió la gestión de los astilleros militares estatales a una empresa privada: la Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval, con garantías técnicas y participación británica en capital y avalada por las firmas Vickers, Armstrong y John Brown, líderes de la construcción naval inglesa.

About Riddle's Court

Located at the top of the Royal Mile, and only a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, the history of Riddle’s Court extends back into the Medieval Era. However, the building as we understand it today was amalgamated and rebuilt by Baillie John McMorran in the 1590s. Its purpose was to be a high-status, multiple-occupancy dwelling, providing its residents with privacy as well as the convenience of a central location.

Its grandeur when first built is evidenced by the fact that it was the town residence of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and later Lord Chancellor of Scotland, Alexander Seton and in 1598 played host to a grand banquet attended by King James VI and his wife Anne of Denmark. It became known as Riddle’s Court after 1726, when George Riddell purchased and reconstructed the part of the site facing the Lawnmarket.

Like many other properties in the Old Town, the status of Riddle’s Court declined during the late 18th century when its wealthy residents moved to the newly-built and more spacious New Town. In the 1830s, the southern-most parts of the building were demolished and its façade reconstructed to bring it in-line with the new Victoria Terrace, commissioned as part of the 1827 Edinburgh Improvement Act.

Further parts of the building were demolished in the 1890s by Patrick Geddes. Geddes was a true polymath – a biologist and sociologist as well as a philanthropist, educator and town planner. His work at Riddle’s Court was motivated by his principle of ‘conservative surgery’, which aimed to preserve the most historically significant parts of Old Town buildings by demolishing the more dilapidated parts, making what remained more hygienic and suitable for modern living. Patrick Geddes converted the main part of Riddle’s Court into one of Edinburgh’s first student halls of residence. His motto ‘Vivendo Discimus’, ‘By Living We Learn’, remains carved over the entrance to the inner courtyard, a sign of how his educational philosophy continues to influence the use of the building and SHBT’s wider approach to learning.

Geddes’s attempts to rejuvenate Riddle’s Court were short-lived, and during the early 20th century the building reverted to its use as small, private dwellings. In 1946, the site was purchased by City of Edinburgh Council who oversaw its renovation in the 1960s and discovered the medieval painted ceiling in the north block. From 1951, Riddle’s Court became a regular venue of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in 1973, the headquarters of the Workers Educational Association.

In 2005, as the building once again fell into disrepair, the WEA sought to raise awareness of its plight and historical importance. Their call was answered by SHBT, who in 2008 completed a Feasibility Study for the building and were subsequently granted a 99-year lease by City of Edinburgh Council in order to restore the building and oversee its subsequent use.

Where's My Utopia?

I think this was my favourite photo of 2024. It has in many ways been a good year, but as with any year in this hobby, it also feels like the main line railway scene has got a bit less interesting as the year progressed.

It's a sobering photo, because after a brief flurry of grid haulage, including celebrity 56098, 6J37 reverted to predominantly class 70s after March 2024 and then in recent weeks 6J37 has more often than not been routed West Coast Main Line.

If the rumours are true, the future of class 56s with Colas is also uncertain, but rumours sometimes don't have any substance.

It's been a bit thin lately with through freight on the Settle and Carlisle, with 6K05 also routed WCML in recent months.

On the plus side, class 60s became a common fixture on the Arcow Quarry stone traffic in 2024, along with the Rylstone branch diagrams, which together with the existing Ribblehead Quarry diagram has certainly made the lower end of the Settle & Carlisle and Skipton area more interesting. I watch the continued progress with the quarry connection at Horton in Ribblesdale with interest and look forward to its commissioning.

Anyway, after a right good walk with Ruby on Twistleton Scar and a pint of Riggwelter with Seabrooks crisps in the Station Inn, my grand day out concludes as 56105 and 56049 work their way across Ribblehead Viaduct towards the station with 6J37 in January 2024.

And my favourite new music of 2024?.........probably English Teacher's This Could Be Texas followed by Yard Act's second album - Where's my Utopia?

Music and trains follow parallel lines. Neither as good as they used to be, but still some current gems to be found and enough to keep me occupied.

After being out on the dry and dusty prairie North of Cheyenne it was nice to walk the streets of Cheyenne. The best thing was to see some GREEN! Spring is on the way but in Wyoming the nice 80 degree temps can revert back to late Winter within hours.

Until about 120 years ago West Looe and East Looe were entirely separate towns, sitting opposite each other across the Looe River. While East Looe is by far the larger of the two and has the main shopping street as well as a beautiful sandy beach, West Looe has a charm all of its own. Its centre is at the bottom of West Looe Hill with the 14th century Church of St Nicholas on the quayside. It is the oldest building in Looe.

The church was endowed on 11 July 1336. During Cromwell's time the church became the Guildhall for West Looe, but was restored for public worship on the accession of King Charles II. This was short-lived, and later it reverted to be the Guildhall and prison until 1852 when it was once again restored for public worship.

The boats by the quay run a ferry service across the river to East Looe when the tide allows. The price is just one pound - a bargain. It saves having to walk along the river to the bridge.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Tung_Street:

Lee Tung Street (利東街), known as the Wedding Card Street (喜帖街; 囍帖街) by locals, is a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.

As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.

The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.

After the development, only small part of next to QRE Plaza is official there. The rest of street, rebuilt and rebranded as Lee Tung Avenue, is a pedestrian street open for public in the high-rise housing estate The Avenue.

The street was known for its printing industry, and Wan Chai was a longtime host of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Times, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po. In the 1950s, print shops began to gather in Lee Tung Street between Johnston Road and Queen's Road East. Rumours had it that the government of Hong Kong mandated this in order to easily monitor illegal publication.

The poet and translator Dai Wangshu also established a short-lived bookstore in Lee Tung Street in the early 1950s.

In the 1970s, the print shops also began producing wedding invitations, lai see, fai chun, and other items, for which they became famous in the 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people visited the shops there to order their wedding cards, name cards, and traditional Chinese calendars.

I really like the way the Clematis seed head forms, they are quite pretty and interesting to look at but if you want to try and grow new Clematis with the seeds from your original plant its not as simple as I would have expected. It takes quite a long time and its also possible that the seedlings when grown will not be the same as the one you removed the seeds from as they can revert back to the original stock it came from.

i think i reverted back to a starbucks addict this summer haha

this shot is so normal, but i really like it for some reason. I couldn't figure how to add text in to make this look good, but after looking at it for awhile, i decided that leaving it the way it is is the best. Of course I edited the lighting because the lighting in my room is good occasionally. most of the time the light is just....dull haha.

you guys may not like this, but i really like how it came out. tell me what you think? (:

hope everyone has a super sunday!!! i have 2 more days of summer and i'm NOT wasting it haha! today my friends are coming to my place for pool/billiards, then tomorrow i'm going to the CNE (AKA the EX). :D

thanks for the explored guys ♥

please ask for my permission to blog my photos.

Been feeling pretty down today, so naturally I reverted to creepy stuff....

Fenway Park is a baseball stadium located in Boston, Massachusetts, less than one mile from Kenmore Square. Since 1912, it has been the ballpark of Major League Baseball's (MLB) Boston Red Sox. While the stadium was built in 1912, it was substantially rebuilt in 1934, and underwent major renovations and modifications in the 21st century. It is the oldest active ballpark in MLB. Because of its age and constrained location in Boston's dense Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, the park has many quirky features, including "The Triangle", Pesky's Pole, and the Green Monster in left field. It is the fifth-smallest among MLB ballparks by seating capacity, second-smallest by total capacity, and one of nine that cannot accommodate at least 40,000 spectators.

Fenway has hosted the World Series 11 times, with the Red Sox winning six of them and the Boston Braves winning one. Besides baseball games, it has also been the site of many other sporting and cultural events including professional football games for the Boston Redskins, Boston Yanks, and the Boston Patriots; concerts; soccer and hockey games (such as the 2010 NHL Winter Classic); and political and religious campaigns.

On March 7, 2012 (Fenway's centennial year), the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is a landmark at the end of the Boston Irish heritage trail. Former pitcher Bill Lee has called Fenway Park "a shrine". It is a pending Boston Landmark, which will regulate any further changes to the park. The ballpark is considered to be one of the most well-known sports venues in the world and a symbol of Boston.

In 1911, while the Red Sox were still playing on Huntington Avenue Grounds, owner John I. Taylor purchased the land bordered by Brookline Avenue, Jersey Street, Van Ness Street and Lansdowne Street and developed it into a larger baseball stadium known as Fenway Park. Taylor claimed the name Fenway Park came from its location in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, which was partially created late in the nineteenth century by filling in marshland or "fens", to create the Back Bay Fens urban park. However, given that Taylor's family also owned the Fenway Realty Company, the promotional value of the naming at the time has been cited as well.

Like many classic ballparks, Fenway Park was constructed on an asymmetrical block, with consequent asymmetry in its field dimensions. The park was designed by architect James E. McLaughlin, and the General Contractor was the Charles Logue Building Company.

The first game was played April 20, 1912, with mayor John F. Fitzgerald throwing out the first pitch and Boston defeating the New York Highlanders, 7–6 in 11 innings. Newspaper coverage of the opening was overshadowed by continuing coverage of the Titanic sinking five days earlier.

In June 1919, a rally supporting Irish Independence turned out nearly 50,000 supporters to see the President of the Irish Republic, Éamon de Valera, and was allegedly the largest crowd ever in the ballpark.

The park's address was originally 24 Jersey Street. In 1977, the section of Jersey Street nearest the park was renamed Yawkey Way in honor of longtime Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey, and the park's address was 4 Yawkey Way until 2018, when the street's name was reverted to Jersey Street in light of current Red Sox ownership distancing itself from Mr. Yawkey due to his history of racism (the Red Sox were the last team in Major League Baseball to integrate). The address is now 4 Jersey Street.

Miranda, Partido de Rauch, Buenos Aires, Argentina

"El pueblo de Miranda, nomenclada así en honor al patriota venezolano pese a que en un primer momento fue designada con el nombre de estación Santa Rosa.

Se ubica a 35 kilómetros de Rauch y pertenece a la sección Las Flores-Tandil del FCS.

Tiene dos particularidades, la primera es que no fue estación original del ramal, la misma se construyó en 1908, por lo tanto carga con un estilo arquitectónico diferente a las demás, estilo llamado de transición que no fue muy común dentro de los edificios del Ferrocarril del Sud.

La segunda particularidad tiene que ver con que hoy funciona dentro de la misma el Centro Educativo para la producción Total Nº 5,cuyo principal objetivo es brindar educación a la juventud rural promoviendo el desarrollo de la comunidad insertando a los jóvenes dentro de la producción, impidiendo así que masivamente emigren a otros sitios en busca de oportunidades. Tan bueno han sido los resultados que Miranda a principio de los noventa estaba destinada a convertirse en otro paraje fantasmal pero gracias a la formación del centro educativo en 1991, pasó de tener 80 habitantes en el 2001 a 124 en el 2011."

"El pequeño pueblo de Miranda se destaca por varios hechos, el primero es que cuenta con una delegación construída por Salamone que se aparta del art decó tan distintivo en él, para ella utiliza el neo colonial un estilo que alcanza su punto máximo en el edificio para la Municipalidad de Chascomús.

La segunda consideración que diferencia a Miranda es su crecimiento vegetativo, para principios de los noventa estaba condenada a convertirse en un pueblo fantasma, otro más en la inmensidad de la pampa, pero para 2001 esa tendencia ya se había revertido alcanzando los 80 habitantes, pero ahí no paró, para 2011 se contabilizaban 124 personas alcanzando un crecimiento del 50% en diez años.

La causa de tal comportamiento tiene que ver con la instalación en 1991 de un Centro Educativo para la Producción Total, una institución creada por el Gobierno Provincial con el fin de promover el desarrollo y crecimiento de la comunidad brindándole educación a la juventud rural, pero una educación orientada al trabajo real que ellos pueden realizar en sus campos. Ese hecho detuvo casi por completo la migración rural de jóvenes y adultos impidiendo el desarraigo tan doloroso y la merma poblacional.

Además del CEPT Nº5, Miranda cuenta con escuela primaria, delegación, policía permanente, sala de primeros auxilios, club, cooperativa eléctrica y hasta se edita un periódico de circulación mensual"

(CAUTION - Sentimentality Alert / ↗️ Exit Here ↗️ if you are allergic to it). I have definitely transitioned to the ‘older folks get up early’ lifestyle—even more now that our coolest temperatures come just before sunrise. This is our ‘remodeled’ back porch since we watch 2 little ones who love to swing and slide and collect rocks in the cooler months (October-May) — the predawn light was so soft and the house so quiet this morning that I almost held my breath, not wanting anything to change. Now I look at this image as a visual metaphor for our young ones’ lives - they are in their earliest moments, but as the cliche goes , “those moments pass quickly” and just as the stillness of the morning is broken by the full sun’s alarm clock rays clanging away—our porch will revert to a more ordinary space, as school routines sweep the little ones away. I plan to enjoy these fragile times and learn as much about the world that a 2 and 4 year old can teach me. So far, I’ve learned a lot, and even though there are taxing times, it’s refreshing to see what wonders they find in our ‘taken for granted’ environs.

Just returned from lease to Britannia and due to revert to Irish marks EI-BDY.

Reverting all those forgotten curls back to their glory took no time in the hands of their housemate. But to what end? Stay tuned!

Seen rattling towards Rugeley Trent Valley in tandem with 90036 Driver Jack Mills working 4M25 Mossend to Daventry.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden, at Sissinghurst in the Weald of Kent in England, was created by Vita Sackville-West, poet and writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. It is among the most famous gardens in England and is designated Grade I on Historic England's register of historic parks and gardens..The inmates worked the farm, which became profitable, for the local parish. When the estate reverted back to the Cornwallis family in 1855 it was the beginning of a great period of Victorian 'high farming', and the Sissinghurst farm was deemed to be the best on the whole of the substantial Cornwallis estate.

Reverted to PH-LXR 4-Jul-03 then became PK-ECE for Sky Aviation.
