Togetherness. They are true partners in crime now. They have the "monkey see monkey do" relationship going on. Whatever he does, she will try it, and whatever new she attempts he will give it a try. It's great for certain things and extremely annoying for others..
Damn that was fun... but we hit another rock! Dammit! Our guide did mention that she likes to hit rocks... crazy crazy girl.
Burston Strike School, Burston, Norfolk
In 1913, Catherine ('Kitty') and Tom Higdon, headmistress and senior teacher respectively of Burston Church of England village school, came into dispute with the school managers after Tom Higdon had been elected to the parish council. The Higdons were Christian Socialists, and were widely perceived as troublemakers. They refused to let the children be taken out of school to help with the harvest, or to do back-breaking, poorly-paid work like stone-picking; such employment was illegal, but it was the universal practice in rural areas at the start of the 20th century.
The Higdons' nemesis was the Reverend Charles Tucker Eland, Rector of St Mary. He was a clergyman of the old type, an unchallenged authority figure in a parish without a resident squire. He seems to have held Victorian views, along with the majority of the tenant farmers. The 1870 Education Act had decreed universal education, but the role of education was so often interpreted as preparing the children for their place in the social order. Under such circumstances, learning to read and write was acceptable, but learning to think was positively to be discouraged. It was expected that the boys of the parish would become poorly-paid farm workers, and the girls would go into service. The conditions in which they were prepared for these roles were appalling.
Tom Higdon was a popular figure with the local farmworkers, and so it was that he topped the poll in the Parish Council elections, and the Reverend Eland came bottom, losing his seat. But, crucially, he still led and controlled the School Board. The Board found an excuse to sack the Higdons.
Twenty years earlier, that would have been the end of the story. Twenty years later, it perhaps wouldn't have happened at all. But this was a crucial moment in European history; far off, in Sarajevo, a single shot fired at the Archduke Franz Ferdinand set in chain a sequence of events that would lead to the Great War, which changed East Anglia forever. This was to have an unforeseen effect on what happened next.
The Higdons set up an open air school on the village green. Magnificently, the great majority of the poorer families of the parish took their children out of the village school and sent them to learn from the Higdons.
The establishment reacted. The Rector, shamefully, expelled those families who held allotments on his land, and had their crops destroyed. Other families were given notice to quit from their tied cottages; but these evictions were not carried through, because the Great War had led to a serious shortage of labour, and the tenant farmers simply could not afford to lose their workers. The principles of the farmers were not as strong as those of the farmworkers; or perhaps they were merely pragmatic. In the event, the Strike School survived and prospered, moving into a carpenter's workshop that first winter, and then into a fully equipped, brand new school funded by collections made by Trade Union and Socialist organisations around the world.
The church school also continued, and by the 1920s the two schools had settled down into an uneasy but workable rivalry. The old order was falling away; Reverend Eland retired, and his replacement, Francis Smith, supported both schools equally, giving religious instruction in both. The Strike School lasted until 1939, by which time the Kitsons were both in their seventies. After Tom died, Kitty gave up the school, and it closed. The strike had lasted 25 years.
Today, the Strike School is a museum, but the village green is still the focus for a national Trade Union rally on the first Saturday of each September. The village school continues to survive in the same buildings which the Higdons walked away from nearly a century ago. And this brings us back to St Mary, because in this part of Norfolk with many churches but few people, St Mary has been reinvented as a kind of school hall. The chancel survives as a working church beyond the ironwork screen which separates it from the nave with its modern chairs. This is the kind of solution we are likely to see more and more in the future as parishes wrestle with the problem of maintaining ancient buildings.For many visitors, the main point of interest about the church is the Higdons. They are buried side by side in the churchyard.

Not good. Pepper figured out how to get on top of the kitchen cabinets. Of course she likes a spot in between the ceramic things. Of course.
To close up this group of photographs of kids from the School of Champions in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, I have chosen this image of Huicho. He was the class clown and a troublemaker but he wore his heart on his sleeve and developed a special bond with my wife Celia. This photograph was taken on Celia's last day at the school, After the rest of the children had left and said their goodbyes, Huicho stayed and watched us drive away. He was crying and waving goodbye, broken hearted. Earlier in the day he had said that Celia gave him hope and a feeling of purpose, that he'd like to be a teacher like her when he's older.
The crossing point of the River Avon is the focal point of Bradford and the very reason for its existence. Its name derives from 'Broad Ford' and the town slip on the south west end of the bridge is on the site of the original ford which was still usable until the start of the 20th century.
The present stone bridge was built in the 13th century and two of the original arches can still be seen on the east side. The bridge was widened on the west side in the 17th century.
The Lock Up on the town bridge (an overnight cell for drunks or troublemakers) was built in the 18th century on foundations which originally supported a chapel. The fish on the top of the building is a gudgeon; hence the saying 'Being over the water and under the fish' as a euphemism for being in prison.

Divisional Police Stations were not provided until the mid 19th century in Bedfordshire.
Prior to this,lock-ups were designed to imprison local troublemakers in rural areas temporarily before being brought in front of a magistrate. Structurally they would usually be round or polygon in shape and contain a single cell, capped with a dome or spire.
The lock-up in the North Bedfordshire village of Harrold is one of the finest of its type in the country and is regarded as the best remaining example in Bedfordshire. Featuring the common round shape and spire in its design, the structure was built in 1824.The former Department of the Environment listed this lock-up in 1952 as grade two (of special interest).
A major refurbishment was undertaken in the 1990s after it was revealed that the stones, mortar and woodwork had all deteriorated.
Despite the nature of the building as a place of incarceration, there is a humorous side to the lock-up. In 1967 a local man won a bet after being locked inside the cramped, dark interior. The bet started as a result of a discussion in the Odell pub The Bell, where drinkers argued that people today would never survive a night in such squalid conditions. George Knight, a local window cleaner, believed that they could and proved his opinion by spending 48 hours and one second in the lockup.
As photographers we always have our cameras with us and are looking out for a memorable picture. Whilst driving around the county we see the many different aspects of Bedfordshire, and have decided to put these together as a set of photographs. Hopefully these will show that there is more to the county than Toddington service station and Luton Town FC and give people a little more insight into Bedfordshire. All the images have been taken in the photographers own time.
At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."
We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk

Trouble Makers/ Making Trouble : interdisciplinary transgressions
22nd February 2008 University of Greenwich
The Department of Creative, Critical and Communication Studies is hosting a one day conference on the 22nd of February 2008 on the topic of trouble-making in the academy and its reciprocal relationship with Cultural Studies and Media Arts. The conference seeks to investigate how the Cultural and the Creative turn have challenged more traditional disciplines, whether they can provide new vocabularies and models for research and the danger of the institutionalisation of trouble-making.
Key Note Speakers include:
Gary Hall, co-editor Culture Machine, Coventry University
John Hutnyk, Goldsmiths
James Swinson, University of The Arts

A group of Cumbernauld Fixers, who’re tired of being labelled as troublemakers, hope their poster campaign redresses negative youth stereotypes.
Worried that older members of the community don’t trust them, 18-year-old Lizzie Clark and her team want to show that not all teenagers are bad.
‘We feel that other people our age are looked down on. If you’re wearing a hoody, people automatically assume you’re up to no good,’ she says.
‘It makes you feel worthless and unwanted. Often it’s the way some people look at you or a subtle comment here or there. It’s not much, but it still hurts.
‘Of course there’re a few bad eggs in every community, but it’s unfair to paint everyone with the same brush. This is what our campaign aims to change.’
The group hope their innovative poster, titled 'Lose the Labels', will stop people from pigeonholing youth based on preconceived ideas.

No one ever changed the world without first being labeled a ‘troublemaker.’

I felt sick today, so I stayed at home. It's nothing bad, just a little cold, but I felt really bored so I decided to give my second Raquelle a little makeover ;-) and I'm quite happy with the result.
She also got a new Personality and was renamed "Liz Katō" ;-)
This doll is just so much fun to photograph that I got more than one great picture of her, so I'm thinking pf uploading the rest of her pics as a collage later on ;-)
