Inside Burton locomotive depot - c1964 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: A photograph inside of British Railways (BR) Burton traction maintenance depot (17B?) showing part of the turntable, with two steam, and one diesel-electric locomotive in view. The steam numbers are hard to make out but I think they are, from left to right, Nos. 47643, 47250, and diesel-electric D5149. The photo is stuck in a old rail enthusiast album, unfortunately there is no date or photographer name, but they do appear to date from early/mid 1960s. ---------------------------------- No. 47643 was a H. Fowler designed class 3F, 0-6-0T engine, built by Beardmore, in Dalmuir, Glasgow and new to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in Jan 1929, carrying No. 16726, being renumbered to 7643 in 1934. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 7643 became No. 47643. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Oct 1966, then scrapped in June of the following year at 'Cashmore's Great Bridge' scrapyard. ---------------------------------- No. 47250 was a S. Johnson designed class 2441, 0-6-0T engine, built by the Vulcan Foundry and new to the Midland Railway (after grouping the London, Midland & Scottish Railway) in Jun 1902, carrying No. 2771, being renumbered to 1950 in 1907, then 7250 in 1934. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 7250 became No. 47250. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Jun 1965, then scrapped in the December. ---------------------------------- No. D5149 was a class 24, Bo-Bo wheeled diesel-electric locomotive, built by the Derby Works and new to BR in Feb 1961. It was withdrawn from service in Oct 1972, and in April of the following year was broken up at the Locomotive Works in St Rollox, Glasgow. ---------------------------------- If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. I know very little about locomotives! Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

That's why we offer a range of different bedding options to suit your needs, including shavings, straw, and wood pellets. Each type of bedding has its unique benefits, and we can help you choose the right one for your horse.

Another option for horse bedding is straw. Straw is a natural and affordable bedding option that is great for horses who are allergic to dust.

At Greenark Animal Feeds, we offer high-quality straw that is clean, dry, and free of dust and mold.

Finally, we also offer wood pellets as a horse bedding option. Wood pellets are made from compressed sawdust and are highly absorbent, making them an excellent choice for horses who produce a lot of waste. They are also easy to clean, as they break down into small pieces when wet. Our wood pellets are made from sustainable sources, so you can feel good about using them for your horse.

No matter which type of horse bedding you choose, you can trust that Greenark Animal Feeds will provide you with the highest quality products.

03/11/2024. Bonjour tout le monde, November has arrived and the week has seen the temperatures change and we have had misty mornings. I am in Bar-sur-Aube today 😁. The weather is 7c and could possibly hit 16c, the sun is shining so with any luck the nurse will arrive early and I can have my walk to the supermarket.

J’ai été très occupé this week (is that any change) consequently the jigsaw is not yet finished, I have been lazy with cooking meals and have spent time relaxing in the chair but let me explain why.

After the shock of finding out I had to go to Paris on Tuesday, my friend rang the hospital to find out why I had to go. Turned out it was for an MRI scan, no stay over just there and back. Monday morning I had bloods taken and dressing changed, in the afternoon the man from the laboratory rang to say my white blood cells and neutrophils were very low and to wear a mask when out to avoid any infection plus if I had a fever I was to go straight to hospital 😱. Anie called to see me bringing asters from her garden as well as apple crumble (which unfortunately I couldn’t eat) being neutropenic means I have to make everything myself so that another’s persons hands haven’t touched the food.

I was up at 04:45 on Tuesday as the taxi was due at 06:30, imagine my surprise when he turned up at 06:03 😤. Anyway, we arrived, I seemed to be “fast-tracked” through and before I knew it I was back in the car. Yes I was home by 1:30pm but I was still shattered I had been up just short of 9 hours at that point.

I realised I had three injections in the fridge which were what I needed to boost my white cells and neutrophils, so messaged the doctor in Troyes (while en route to Paris) for a prescription advising the nurse to administer the injections. .

My neighbour went to the pharmacy for my medication, I had only completely run out of one lot of tablets! Then I got a message from a friend who said she would come to see me around 18:00. My reply had confused her and so she didn’t visit. I had also asked Monique to make an appointment for Dr Stefan, at the practice in town, to come and visit me on 8 November. She did that so hopefully now I will also have a doctor in town again.

On 31 October I got a photo of my two grandchildren dressed up for Halloween. My granddaughter looks so grown up it’s just amazing.

Anie brought me apples on Monday and I still had the ones Monique had brought last week 😳 so on Friday I set to and peeled, cored, sliced, froze and stewed them. The freezer is almost full of bags of apples. Got to make something other than crumble though, think I will just have them stewed with yoghurt. It was a beautiful afternoon so I had my walk to the supermarket, not knowing what I wanted to eat I bought food to make a pasta dish.

My cleaner was ill so couldn’t come to do my housework. She also informed me that she is moving to Troyes on the 7 November. Now paperwork is an absolute nightmare here in France (mind you it’s worth it for me to live in this place I love) so I have had to have my head screwed on properly to deal with it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything is correct.

“The Photographer” has been busy at his day job but on Saturday he went to Burton upon Trent for the first round of the FA Cup. They were playing Scarborough AFC and he was there to take photos. I prayed for dry weather which it appeared they had. “The Seagulls” were doing really well until midway through the second half when their opponents scored. Unfortunately “The Seagulls” couldn’t even the score and it would be some disappointed fans who returned home. The thing to remember is that their opponents were in leagues above theirs so no shame in the score line, plus they played really well and as we know there can only be one winner. “The Photographer” took some great photos too.

It’s busy old days at work for “The Solicitor” and “The Recovery Coordinator” weeks are flying by so quickly. It is only two months since they were here but it feels such a long time ago. Niece and nephew went to their house on Friday evening, it was a late trick or treat, looks as if everyone had fun. Grandad had even bought outfits for the children to wear.

“The Jetsetter” with the clipped wings, at the moment, is most probably perusing holiday brochures (can you still get those) or is it all on-line now?

It seems to be that the world is not such a nice place. Countries that are against tourists, places where it’s unsafe to go out in the evening (according to the press) wars, floods, droughts good heavens it is probably better to stay home. Although being a bit of an adventurous traveller in my twenties, I understand the need to visit places. I once visited a country which at the time was “behind the Iron Curtain, and I don’t mean Yugoslavia. There were lots of things that were “scary” about it but it all adds to the memories. I laugh when I see adverts for holidays to countries being lauded as “new places to visit” when my holidays there were around 47 years ago!

A bit of a surprise with the music part of the blog this week, I have chosen two women and the songs are fairly recent (well they are to me). The first song is by Leona Lewis, it’s “Bleeding Love” from 2007 and the second is by Dido, it’s “Don’t Leave Home” from 2003.

I really must make some time to lay more cardboard. I don’t have sufficient bark to put a good covering on top but will see if my neighbour can get some more for me tomorrow. The weeds are creeping buttercup, they are coming through from my neighbours garden and they are so difficult to kill off. Some have even managed to come through the bark already (only small but it’s a start). Does anyone know how to kill off these “creepers” without killing the flowers in the borders too?

PS. I have finally out the last pieces of jigsaw into the puzzle. What satisfaction that has brought me.

Another thing that has brought a lot of satisfaction to me is the beautiful cactus I bought a year ago, it has lots of buds some due to open anytime soon. I am so pleased, it is a white cactus and I just left it to its own devices after my previous cleaner, dusted it and broke off all the new buds which were coming earlier this year! I was upset then but now I am just looking forward to the flowers opening.

It also appears that the beautiful orchid I received on the 12 September now has root rot (or similar). “Not my fault Guv, I know not to give it loads of water”.

So on that sad news, I will leave while I search Google for a solution.

Bon dimanche.
