Whilst in Suffolk we visited the Suffolk Punch Trust. They are ensuring that the Suffolk Punch horse continues to exist. They are heavy horses, though not as tall as shires or clydesdales and they are alway chestnut. They also do not have the big 'feathering' around the hooves that most other heavy horses do.

"The Suffolk Punch is probably the oldest breed of working horse in the world to exist in a form which we can recognise today. It has the longest written pedigree of any such breed, as every Suffolk can be traced back to a stallion known as Crisps Horse of Ufford foaled in 1768.
The breed was confined to the Eastern Counties and only started to become popular in the rest of Great Britain at the end of the working horse era. Mechanisation was rapid on East Anglian farms, stimulated by the drive for food production in the Second World war and the breed declined drastically in numbers so that by the late fifties there were only five breeders of any size, one of them being the Home Office with their Colony Stud at Hollesley Bay, near Woodbridge.
The breed is unique in a number of ways especially in its chesnut colour. It has a very strong association with the people of East Anglia as the Suffolk would have touched the lives of most of them to a greater or lesser extent. Today, when the breed is very rare, the Suffolk Punch is still recognised as an icon for the County and as a most important feature of our countryside heritage."

Two ladies one who wants to receive the tawse (left) and one who wants to give it. Perhaps I should just let them get on with it.
Three two-barrel carburetors on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. V8-engined 1937 Lincoln pickup truck hot rod. Lincoln did not make a 1937 pickup. I believe it's 1937 Lincoln front end sheet metal grafted to a similar vintage Ford pickup cab & bed.

I love my new bag! Pattern by Erin Erickson of Dog Under My Desk. The pattern is excellent--I can't recommend it enough. It is very detailed with lots of photos and clear explanations. A beginning sewist could definitely handle this and someone with more experience would appreciate all the clever details.
This is my first time making an adjustable strap and I love it. This bag can hold my iPad or a small knitting project. I am using it as a purse.
This two spot goby (signigobius biocellatus) was taken from my dive at Manado....The size is about 5 cm for this one..... I used 105mm Nikon macro lens...
