Batten down the hatches, the Seatruck "Clipper Point " from Liverpool on its final leg towards Dublin Port, the right side of the breakwater along the Great South Wall tames the wild Irish Sea.
Not the correct use of this idiom but this Firecrest did seem to have a bowed head which showed off his fiery crest beautifully. Firecrests have more orange in the crown than Goldcrests, especially females which have an all yellow crown stripe in Goldcrest. Here's a male Goldcrest for comparison (he was singing): www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/49755706231/in/photolist
The amount of orange here makes me think this Firecrest is a male. It is the one that frequented the banks of the River Aire near St Aidans back in February.
Back to my title, which is a misquote of the line "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown", from Shakespeare's play Henry IV, Part 2, but used recently by Stormzy. It means that those charged with major responsibility carry a heavy burden that makes it difficult for them to relax. And finally, its scientific name Regulus means "little king" from its crown.
20168 passes over the small village of Hope at crawling pace with wagons off the 6M91 1110 Theale to Earles Sidings.
I had to wait for a few hours for the 20 to drop down the bank to pick up the wagons, I carried out a few recci drone flights and double checked my Sun Calc app. The sun was setting fast.
A local resident couldn't resist coming out of his cottage to see what i was up to. I was my normal chatty self. During the course of our chat we talked about the noise the 20 used to make and it transpired that he and others in the village were the cause of the 20 being silenced as they complained about the noise. I told him that if i lived in the village i would start a counter campaign to have the silencer removed and i would get the support of every enthusiast in the country. He was bewildered by this as we were nearly run over by another moterbike screaming along the road and a Seat Ibiza with windows open blaring out Stormzy. I almost missed the 20 whispering above my head to the cement works followed by the clattering of bogies on rail joints.
I think the next campaign in Hope will be to have rubber wheeled wagons.
This short session was the perfect antidote to a tough day at work. I could see storm clouds beginning to develop as I left Derby, so I decided to call in at Swarkestone Lock. The last time I made an image from this spot was about ten years ago, using Fuji Velvia. I like the fact that I can be at eye level with the canal's surface as the water races through what I suspect might be an eel run.

A real feeling of the first throws of Spring at Lackford Lake
this morning. The reserve was awash with activity at first light but the Kingfishers inevitably stole the show. Great to see such healthy numbers this time of year.

I was hoping for a lovely valentines day photo for today.
You know hearts, roses something red....no chance, horrible wet and windy weather for most of the day, and even worse going home!

“I made a customised stab-proof vest and thought - who could possibly wear this?” Well @banksy this lovely Lego Stormzy could wear it! Lego Banksy Stormzy is a limited edition of 3 and will be available soon. The vests are hand-painted and therefore may vary a bit.

Monday May 14, 2018 marked eleven months since the fire that engulfed Grenfell Tower, in north Kensington, killing over 70 people in an inferno that should never have occurred, and, to mark the occasion, survivors, members of the local community and supporters from across London converged on Parliament as MPs were preparing to debate the government’s response to the disaster. This photo shows one of the Grenfell campaigners with a poignant handmade placard.
The Parliamentary debate was taking place because, after the fire, Theresa May had launched an official inquiry, but campaigners wanted representatives from the local community to be involved, and launched a petition demanding this from the government, which secured the 100,000 signatures that made it eligible for a Parliamentary debate after grime star Stormzy promoted it to his many followers in February.
Last week, Theresa May attempted to defuse campaigners’ anger by announcing that two additional members would be appointed to the panel, but, as I explained in an article after the rally, “it is by no means certain that this concession will satisfy the community’s demands, because the government has not made clear who these two additional members will be, and how they will be chosen.”
As I also explained, “the speakers also made a point of explaining how, eleven months on from the disaster, they have little reason for believing that the government intends to deliver anything resembling justice to survivors and the local community, primarily because many of the survivors are still living in temporary accommodation. They also made it clear that their concerns are for all the inhabitants of refurbished tower blocks around the country, who are living in fear, because their buildings also have dangerous cladding, just like Grenfell had, and yet no one is in any hurry to spend the money to make their homes safe.”
Today, Theresa May tried to address this latter criticism by promising £400m to remove unsafe cladding from tower blocks around the country, but, again, questions remain — about where the money is coming from, under what circumstances it will be provided, and what will happen if it is not enough.

A colourful photo of street art at the Seven Star Pub on Brick Lane. The clown on the right is the work of Alex Arnell ( www.instagram.com/alex.arnell/ ) and I think I detect a hint of Boris about this, not least as it's one of a repeated theme throughout his work.

From Degreeart.com website, "Alex Arnell recieved a BA (hons) in Fine Art Painting from University of East Anglia 1999. He has worked part time in a primary school making art with children ,so this has had a huge influence on the freedom and youthful spirit in his work. As for the diversity and varied choice of his subjects and handling, Alex Arnell wants to make art that is not contrived or elitist, so he tries to trust and follow his instints with regard to ideas and media choice.
Once Alex Arnell is involved in making art, the work usually becomes processed and lead from his mood at the time, and this will dictate how the artwork is resolved. His art is usually signed 'Alex Arnell' or tagged 'Sell Out'. 'Sell Out' is simply a tag for his outdoor work, when sometimes he might give away work for free, blu tack it to a wall or make it in a medium that can rub off (like chalk). The words 'Sell Out' have become synonimous with the world of Graffiti/street art, an insult thrown at artists who have used the streets as a platform make money from their art, seemed somehow humorously appropriate to Alex Arnell."

Given Hollywood's proclivity for constantly remaking films we thought we'd jump the gun with a promotional poster for our dark reimagining of Wind in the Willows for the 21st century called 'The Willowz'. Think of it as a loose sequel to the perennial children's classic. But darker. And with more animatronics.
It's set 15 years after the original where kind and benevolent Badger has become a mad and despotic dictator. He's killed all the original characters and sold half of Wild Wood to developers to fund his ever growing addiction to prescription drugs. Some say it was all due to a bout of TB he contracted in 2006.
Our heroes consist of a female human eco-warrior who has managed to round up the descendants of the original Mole, Ratty and Toad to end the tyrannical rain of Badger X as he's now known. Cue a Stormzy remix of the original animated Wind in the Willows music and we're good to go...
