St Margaret, Abbotsley, Cambridgeshire
I had been cycling around south Cambridgeshire all morning, and now I was in the former Huntingdonshire, and it still felt like a different country. Abbotsley was a steep hillside village of thatched cottages dropping away from the church - pure East Midlands, it could as easily have been Northamptonshire or Warwickshire. In passing I might note that Abbotsley is alphabetically the first church in post-1974 Cambridgeshire, just as my first church of the day, Abingdon Pigotts, was the first alphabetically in pre-1974 Cambridgeshire. The centre of the village is High Green, a precipitous village green where the road on one side looks steeply down on the main road below. Where they join is the church, a delightful prospect overlooking the road, entirely Midlands in style.
The nave and tower is in the care of the CCT, the chancel in use by the parish, as at Newton in Suffolk. This always seems like a bit of a scam, akin to me contacting Ipswich Borough Council and telling them - tell you what, you pay all my maintenance bills and council tax, and I'll pay for my new carpets and wallpaper. Be that as it may, I went to get the key from the farmhouse opposite. As often in CCT locked churches I had to write my name and address in a book. The old boy took one look at it and said "Ipswich - isn't that where Ransomes used to be? We used to have one of their tractors!" I assured him that Ransomes was still in business, albeit employing barely a hundred people compared with the 10,000 they employed in their heyday, and are now reduced to manufacturing mini-sweeper vans for multi-storey carparks.
But I digress. I let myself into the church. A big, open 14th Century space, pleasing and with the lack of clutter we've come to expect from the CCT. But there were no really significant survivals, nothing to set the pulses racing. I couldn't help thinking blimey, I'm paying for this - well, not just me, but anyone who pays any money that goes to the CCT in the form of grants. I looked through the glass-fronted chancel doors, and the chancel was delightful, another Butterfield job, a riot of colour with superb Alexander Gibbs windows. I pushed the door, and found it was locked! There was no way to enter the chancel from the nave. As a major fan of Alexander Gibbs (if there was a fan club, I'd probably be on the committee) I can say that firstly, I was mightily displeased, and secondly it affirmed my belief that there was something not quite right about this way of doing things. I took the key back and headed east. From this moment onwards I was headed directly for Cambridge, some fifteen miles off, and would not be diverted from my course.

Drawing is a thinking tool. When your X grade teacher Mrs. Y told you couldn't draw Z, you stopped drawing. Start again.
Fellow Pentaxian Pepperberry Farm came to mind as I was leaving work and saw the sky, and this grevillea. I love the way he shoots sunsets, so this is my homage.

I didn't know this person but I thought it was a perfect picture of someone just sitting and enjoying the views and taking it all in. Maybe they were deep in thought of life, maybe they were just enjoying this moment and away from everything that is life. That's what I tend to do in these spots.

A perfect circle - Thinking of you
APC
Thinking Of You
Lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless, unable to focus on
anything but your surrender
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like
Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

Nicky and I send love out to all of our flickr friends who have had troubles and difficulties this summer and fall... we are thinking of you!
Quick ADED snap in my car on the way to a job... as you can see, Nicky changed her all-important dolly accessories to a different EuroTrash helmet and some wonderful new futurelovers goggles... but she refused to take off our darling Fishknees set! Thank you again, G!

First of all, sorry for this ugly picture. I still need to buy a tripod, I plan on doing so tomorrow. Then I can finally go outside and take pictures outside of my room.
Sometimes I just need to think. Think about who I am, what I like to do and who I want to be. I need answers. Nobody ever told me growing up was going to be this hard.

Critiques would be great!
This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon which was held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 25th January 2014 at 09:00. There were 75 participants in the marathon which completed 8 loops of a 5KM route (and a additional 2KM) with Longwood GAA club acting as Race Headquarters, Start, Finish, and refreshments area. The weather turned particularly nasty for about an hour and the participants were lashed with gale-force winds, severe hailstones, and then rain. However this didn't stop everyone enjoying the day. Thanks to the folks at Longwood GAA who provided excellent hospitality and facilities for all participants. There was a great atmosphere at the race and everyone enjoyed another trip to the countryside for an EOIM.
Despite the weather there were a few PBs and fast inidividual times. The course is a nice fast flat 5KM loop. It is used every year as the Longwood GAA 5KM Road Race (see links below). The marathon loop followed the reverse of the race route for safety reasons as the roads were fully opened for the EOIM event. There is a total elevation gain of 20ft and an elevation loss of 23ft. The sources of elevation gain are only very small rises on the road and aren't really noticeable. Part of the route includes a kilometer on a boreen which is nicely sheltered and with good road surface. The road surface is excellent for the entire route. There were some puddles and mud on the boreen section of the route due to agricultural traffic.
Thanks must be extended to the Longwood GAA club and committee for the use of their fine facilities which allowed participants to have some refreshments afterwards and hot showers and changing rooms were also available.
This is the second East of Ireland Marathon Series race which has been held outside Dublin. The previous race which was held outside Dublin was held in Stapelstown, Co. Kildare in September 2013. (See links to pictures on Flickr from that race). Whilst Longwood is a rural venue it is easily accessible from all parts of Ireland due to it's close proximity to the N4 and the M4 Motorways.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today's event on the following Flickr Photoset Page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640099311556/
Tell me more about the East of Ireland Marathon Series
This race event was part of the East of Ireland Marathon Series. The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The series organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded and each marathon counts as an official marathon. Overall, this approach to marathon organisation helps to keep the price down and allows these races to be run in as an economically affordable manner as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans. So if you are thinking of your 1st marathon, your 10th marathon, or your 100th the East of Ireland Marathon Series will provide a very friendly and low-cost environment for to become part of Ireland's marathon running community.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
