Restoration Project

I bought this old toy truck at a flea market when I was on vacation. It was only $2.

It was made in England and dates back to the mid-1960s.

I looked online for parts to fix it up and found a place in Australia. I ordered some replacement tires, a horn, and stickers. Thanks Internet.

It is looking a lot better now! Probably hasn’t looked this good in decades. I will keep looking for the last missing part for the rear door on the tipper part.

John Piper made me do it - Romanesque North Yorkshire

Some time ago a John Piper image had led me to visit the Church of St. Michael at Barton-le-street. The village is located on the B1257, the ‘le-street’ element of the village name indicates that it is on the course of a Roman road, in this case the Roman road from Malton to Hoveringham. I had previously visited the church during the winter, the weather was terrible and the church was locked. On…

A run is often the best way to clear your head. Last night I was reflecting on life as nature reflected on itself. This is my calm place, where my mind is stilled and I can focus on me. #running #focus #reflection #mindfulness #exercise #fitness #happiness #river #nature #rivertrent #lovenotts #nottinghamshire #hoveringham (at Hoveringham)

Leading brick makers to axe 600 jobs

Two of the industry’s big brick makers are to axe up to 600 jobs in cost-cutting plans to meet lower forecast demand.

Ibstock this morning said that up to 375 jobs, representing around 15% of its workforce, would be potentially impacted by streamlining plans, while rival brick and block maker Forerra said it would cut 225 jobs.

Both businesses warned of selective site closures, changes in operating patterns and changes to the size and structure of support functions.

Ibstock chief executive Joe Hudson said: “The changes anticipated will ensure our business is adapted to the near-term industry demand outlook, we retain the flexibility to scale production back up, as and when demand recovers.”

Forterra’s restructuring plan will see its hollowcore flooring manufacturing facility at Swadlincote in Derbyshire mothballed once the current order book is completed.

All precast concrete flooring products will be consolidated into its Hoveringham facility in Nottinghamshire.

Forterra chief executive Stephen Harrison said: “Economic and industry forecasts indicate a prolonged impact from Covid-19 on the UK economy and more specifically the construction sector.

“Although the Construction Products Association’s most recent forecast anticipates the residential construction market will recover during 2021, output in 2021 is forecast to be approximately 20% lower than in 2019.

“We are taking steps to restructure the Group’s operations in line with the anticipated decline in medium-term demand.

“In the coming weeks, we will consult with employees on our plans, which include proposed changes to shift patterns and adjustments to the size and structure of support functions.”

Forterra said that daily despatches of brick and block products had now recovered to half of last year’s levels.  

In a trading statement this morning the firm said that the Covid-19 lockdown saw group revenue fall 39% for the five months to 31 May 2020 compared to last year, with a year-on-year decline of 86% in April and 62% in May.

A little bit of macro photography of a bee taken during a visit to the Hoveringham garden trail, 2017. Love the way the colours of the bee are also reflected by the yellow of the flower and the other insects on the flower. Took this with my Canon IXY digital camera and really like the results - a great insight to the texture of such a small creature
