Childhood memories. As Fylde's oldest bus in the mid 1980s I followed this bus as it managed to survive until 1996 - twice as long as its two sisters. 77 was then preserved by FTT and regained its original livery in 1998. It was used for a few events but was parked up in 1999 awaiting more substantial repairs. After steady work over five years, a new front end has been fitted and the platform rebuilt. Today was its first day carrying passengers in over 22 years.

Claydon House is a country house in the Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, England, near the village of Middle Claydon. It was built between 1757 and 1771 and is now owned by the National Trust. The house is a listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England, and its gardens are listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Claydon House is a country house in the Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, England, near the village of Middle Claydon. It was built between 1757 and 1771 and is now owned by the National Trust. The house is a listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England, and its gardens are listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The exterior of the house is quite austere — seven bays in total, on two floors, with a three-bayed central prominent elevation surmounted by a pediment. The fenestration is of sash windows. (The ground floor windows are crowned by small round windows suggesting a non-existent mezzanine.) The centre bay contains a large central venetian window on the ground floor. By contrast to the exterior the interiors are an extravaganza of rococo architecture in its highest form. The principal rooms: the north hall, a double cube room (50 ft × 25 ft × 25 ft high (15.2 m × 7.6 m × 7.6 m)) may have lost its adjoining hall under the lost dome. However, its magnificence remains. The broken pedimented door cases are adorned with rococo carving, by Luke Lightfoot, the most talented wood carver of the era, who worked extensively on the great mansion. His work can be found on the ceiling and the niches in the walls. The adjoining saloon is slightly more restrained in its decoration. However the ornate carving continues into the dado rails, and onto the Corinthian columns supporting the huge venetian window. The third principal room was redecorated as a library by Parthenope, Lady Verney in 1860. The plaster rococo ceiling remains in all its splendour. A staircase of inlaid ivory and marquetry leads to the first floor. The walls of the staircase hall are ornamented with medallions and carved garlands reflecting the theme established in the main reception rooms. The wrought iron balustrade of the stairs contains ironwork ears of wheat, which rustle like the real thing as one ascends the flights. The marvel of the first floor is the Chinese room: one of the most extraordinary rooms in the house if not England. Here the rococo continues, but this time in a form known as chinoiserie — essentially a Chinese version of the rococo decorative style. The entire room is a fantasy of carved pagodas, Chinese fretwork, bells and temples while oriental scrolls and swirls swoop around the walls and doors reaching a crescendo in the temple-like canopy, which would have once contained a bed, but now gives a throne-like importance to a divan. Also on this floor is a small museum dedicated to the nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale, the sister of Parthenope, Lady Verney. In her later years Nightingale regularly stayed at the house. The present Verney family, who still live in the later red-brick south wing, are the descendants of Sir Harry Calvert, 2nd Baronet who inherited the house in 1827. He was very tenuously related to the Verneys only through marriage. However, he adopted the name Verney on inheriting. The house was given to the National Trust in 1956 by Sir Ralph Verney, 5th Baronet. His son, Sir Edmund Verney, 6th Baronet, a former High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, lives in the house today. Annually (usually the last weekend in July) at Claydon House, there is a hovercraft race meeting organised by the Chilterns Branch as part of the HCGB (UK) National Hovercraft Racing Series. In 2013, Claydon House was used for interior and exterior shots for filming Far from the Madding Crowd, a British film version of Thomas Hardy's novel.

​The Church of All Saint’s, Parish Church of Middle Claydon, nestles in the gardens beside Claydon House. There has been a church on the site since the 1200s and it is still in use today. The interior of the church is beautiful and contains a fascinating array of monuments to various Verney ancestors including Sir Edmund Verney, Standard Bearer to King Charles I, and Sir Harry Verney, 2nd Baronet, who lived at Claydon for over 60 years and for 50 of them was a Member of Parliament.
OK ... Now lie on the ground, and I'm going to jump this bike between the platforms over the length of your body, alright?
7Stanes Trials Bike Performance at the East End Cycling Gala.
Walking up from the Quay to the Mill at Cotehele, we crossed a river and found ourselves in a meadow, filled with wild flowers and spring blossom. We stopped for a chat with a friendly local who pointed out the first wild orchid of the season just coming into flower. This tree blossom caught my eye as we passed by.
Today, for the first time in the history of Nata village, 18 travelers from
Europe, Canada, America, and Australia had the opportunity to take a
cultural tour of Nata. The Nata AIDS and Orphan Trust (the trust that
manages the proceeds from this website) organized a tour of the Nata Kgolta,
a local home, the Nata Clinic, and the Nata River. So many people pass on
the main road through our village and for the first time, travelers got to
experience the true Nata. It was such a pleasure for Mr. Tiro, Maseko, and
Mr. James (all Nata locals pictured above with our guests) to share their
village with these travelers. The proceeds from the tour will go to the
Nata Trust and will benefit the villagers of Nata. Proceeds will assist
People Living with AIDS and the Nata orphans. We want to thank Acacia Tours
for being the first to bring their guests to our village. We really enjoyed
meeting all of the visitors and we think they enjoyed learning about our
village and how we are battling the HIV/AIDS pandemic. A special thanks to
the sweet lady who made an extra donation to our trust. Every little bit
helps. You are all so appreciated.

West Wycombe village was sold to the National Trust in 1929 by the Dashwood family to raise assets following that year's Wall Street Crash. The National Trust markets this property under the name 'West Wycombe Village and Hill'. The property features many buildings of architectural value which were built between the 16th and 18th centuries.
The village centre, despite being on a main road (the A40), retains much of its historical charm, and being National Trust-owned for the main part, has resisted modernisation. The High Street consists of a number of 'old-fashioned' shops (in appearance at least), as well as three pubs, some small offices and a well-utilised village hall. Just off the High Street can be found the village Combined School (ages 4-11) and a traditional garden centre. Current population is about 1,000 residents.
There is nothing like the bond between two girlfriends. We can trust each other with every part of our lives. Having girlfriends has helped me through many hard times.
