About the Pub
A 700 year old Grade ll listed pretty roadside pub, on the main road between Ashburton and Princetown. There are two small rooms other than the bar, one being a cosy dining room and the other having a huge table that seats 12.
It has oak panelling and old beams throughout, and there is a large bullet hole that is reputedly made by a Roundhead's musket.
It is said the the devil once visited this pub, on his way to Widdecombe-in-the-Moor, to collect souls.

The postal area of "Poundsgate" is a wide geographical area. There are a few cottages clustered around a popular stopping point for travellers, the Tavistock Inn, which is thought to date back to the 13th century. There are also many farms in and around the village. At one time there was a shop, a post office and a garage.
Poundsgate takes its name from the pound situated on the left-hand side of the road just past the last house when travelling toward Princetown. This house was once a smithy, the post office, the telephone exchange and a bakery. Poundsgate is situated in the ecclesiastical parish of Leusdon, the civic parish of Widecombe and within the manor of Spitchwick.

62/365 - Through The Glass - Stone Sour
Friday, the end of the week... I'm saved !
We went to the studio after courses this afternoon, Laurent was there with some students and we manage to use a part of the studio to shoot our daily pictures with Loic.
So we set up some Multiblitz flash and started to play with a medium format camera.
Not a lot of idea today, I'm really stoned, so I went for this mix with the Stone Sour lyrics.
I discuss a lot with Laurent this afternoon, it's always cool to have a conversation with him and get his feedback about my work. He encourages me to explore some different things from my actual work so I'll try some new things at times.
While we were discussing outside he found the scene for his own daily shot, just in front of the entrance of the school, check it here.

The Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power plant on the shore of Lake Erie near Monroe, in Frenchtown Charter Township, Michigan. It is approximately halfway between Detroit, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio. It is also visible from parts of Amherstburg and Colchester, Ontario as well as on the shore of Lake Erie in Ottawa County, Ohio. Two units have been constructed on this site. The first unit's construction started in 1963, and the second unit reached criticality in 1988.
The plant is named after the Italian nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi, most noted for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor as well as many other major contributions to nuclear physics. Fermi won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.
On October 5, 1966 Fermi 1 suffered a partial fuel meltdown, although no radioactive material was released. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
On June 6, 2010 a weak tornado touched down and damaged the Fermi 2 generator building and forced an automatic shutdown. The tornados damaged electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure in the area leaving over 30,000 people without power in the area.
Fermi 2 reactor of the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station near Monroe, Michigan was shut down on Monday, June 25, 2012 due to an equipment problem. The Monroe Evening News reported that crews idled the plant around 1:30 p.m. when its steam condenser lost the vacuum that pulls steam across a series of cooling tubes. The condenser turns steam back into water after it’s used to spin the plant’s turbines.
Currently Fermi 2 is "in a safe, stable condition" according to Detroit Edison's spokesperson.

With their focus turning to a visit to Chicago after a 26-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football (MNF), the Washington Redskins know full well they need to get back on track and hope for the best. They need the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to slip to have any chance of making the postseason.
"We put ourselves in this position, so we can't sit here and feel sorry for ourselves," left tackle Trent Williams said. "Obviously, we're not in the driver's seat anymore and we're going to need some help, but that all doesn't matter if we don't take care of our business."
A 2-of-12 showing on third down, two turnovers and a running game coach Jay Gruden deemed "atrocious" cost the Redskins control of their playoff destiny. Games remain at the Bears and home against the New York Giants.
"I hate being in this position where you got to wait for teams to win, this team needs to lose," defensive end Ricky Jean Francois said. "I hate being in that position because (Monday night) we could have controlled our own destiny now we need help from another team and I hate being in that position but we put ourselves in that hole and now we have to dig ourselves out."
Some other things we learned from the Panthers' victory over the Redskins:
Jonathan Stewart ripped through the Redskins for a career-high 132 yards rushing on 25 carries. It was a performance the Panthers had been waiting for all season, and it came with the veteran at less than 100 percent.
"Stew was just typical Stew," quarterback Cam Newton said. "He did an unbelievable job this week. He came in and wasn't in his best health. He had some kind of contusion in his leg. The trainers did an unbelievable job of getting him back on the field.
"For him to perform like that, that's the type of play we're going to need from him moving forward. He's a professional. That type of run game kind of sets the tone."
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had one of his worst games of the season, going 32 of 47 for 315 yards with an interception and a fumble.
"I thought he had good time to throw it for the most part," Gruden said. "I think he was having trouble seeing some of the coverage and when he did see them I don't know if he just didn't have clear throws at them."
The Panthers know their odds of making the postseason are, well, hardly ideal.
"Without a doubt, it's minuscule," coach Ron Rivera said, "but it can happen."
At this point, the best Carolina can do is finish at .500 and see if that's good enough.
"Our objective is to go undefeated all the way to the end of the season," defensive end Wes Horton said. "Playoffs aside, we are playing for pride."
While Carolina's defense looked almost vintage Super Bowl caliber, former Panthers cornerback Josh Norman wanted some more action. Mostly he didn't like Newton not throwing at him.
"He threw that long ball to Teddy (Ginn Jr. and) he came down with it," Norman said. "After that I didn't see any more of him all night. I think (offensive coordinator Mike) Shula got in his ear. I wish he didn't because I'm pretty sure he would have uncontained the beast."

Bridekirk is named after its cruciform church, reconstructed in the late 1860s. Surviving are the remains of a ruined chancel with 16th-century east and south windows.
Incorporated in the new construction are two Norman doorways. The church is famous for its 12th-century casket-shaped font carved with inscriptions, birds, beasts and the baptism of Christ. It is signed by a 'Richard', believed to be the work of a famous carver from Durham. Old tombstones stand guard around the church walls. There are patterned tiles inside the church.
The church and vicarage belonged to the monastery of Guisborough before the dissolution. Two men born in the church vicarage became successful politicians:
Ooops I uploaded the wrong shot before I left for work this morning-this doesn't look like a swallow!

Minutes after this was taken, the second unit had issues. The transfer had to run over to the Belt Yard and get a third SD40N so they could make the grade and trip to East Mpls.

This is where I live! We are living in the little 'hovel' on the LHS of the picture whilst we renovate the main old house . The little 'house' we live in at present is a strange two-roomed structure built under the tin-roofed hangar/barn. We reckon that it was built sometime in the 30s-40s and 'modernised' with an add-on shower-room inside toilet in the 60s-70s. The old house was abandoned when this little house was built, we reckon cause the old couple who lived here could no longer live in the old house that has no running water or kitchen or bathroom etc. It really is very original French peasant house of the region and practically unspoilt with later "improvements". I can't wait to move in. We plan to do very little to it that would change it. We need to build a spiral stair-case (in oak) to gain access to the upstairs to create two rooms. We will be incorporating some little add-on buildings that were used for animal housing to the LHS of the house as you look at it here to provide a bathroom/wet room and separate toilet and also a back door leading onto a south-facing terrace. You can just make out at the extreme left of theold housea little door in a lean-to building that houses the recently completed composting toilet. This humble little room houses an exhibition of some of my photos!!!!The building on the RHS of the old house is the old bread-oven -the 10 cats are fed in here ( the old stair-gate is to prevent the dogs and the hens stealing their food!) unfortunately, the huge wood-fired oven no longer functions as when the building was re-roofed some years ago the chimney was knocked down. We plan to make this building into a dairy and food preparation room which will house the freezers also. We grow all our own food here that has to be washed, chopped up and prepared for freezing, bottling etc and I also make cheese from our goat's milk. At present I do all this in the little 'hovel'!!
We welcome volunteers from all over the world, mainly through WWOOF and HelpX throughout the year to assist in this venture, so we have to grow and process enough food to feed ourselves and these voluntary workers also! We have two hectares of woodland that provides all our firewood and some construction material, fenceposts etc. This is the work we are doing at present - when the snow clears!!
There has been a happy event in my wasp family. When I visited them on the week-end two had hatched and a day later one more had arrived. This wasp has overwintered carrying male sperm ready to fertilise her eggs to produce daughters who have now joined her to help on the work of the nest. Males will be produced from the unfertilised eggs. Prey is caughts and macerated and then fed mouth to mouth to the larvae.
