Funnily enough, driving back from Hertfordshire yesterday we passed a convoy of routemasters on the M6. They were heading back south so maybe they'd been on a short term hire??

I remember the days when it was still a post office. I've stood at the bus stop by there a good few times

It's a lovely building. Shame it's unused. Nice photo Joe.

"Coburg", you say?

I wonder if the names of the small Wharfs begin with a 'D'?

Moorfields ofDale St,Norm...thats the old Yates the new one is by Blacklers.

Exactly where George said. Im sure it's supposed to be getting knocked down, I thought that was a while ago though

I'm going to ask a dumb question about this pic of the day - why is the water spurting out here ? and does it spurt out constantly or just at certain times ? Sorry if I sound thick :) is it to do with the low tide ?

one for Waterways ?

I assume is is to keep the mud moist. That is the Brunswick river lock which faces southish. In hot weather it could dry out being directly in line with the sun. If it is allowed to go hard it would build up with the next layer washed in on the tide, and require expensive dredging.

Cool pic, Lindy. Was lovely walking past that and getting the spray back

Here's my fuzzy effort,from Saturday.A field of rape seed,in Thornton. (Anyone know how,or why, it got it's unfortunate name?) 25-5-10.

Nice pic, Steve. A quick search and wikipedia gave this answer

Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed and (in the case of one particular group of cultivars, canola) is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpum or rāpa, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century.

Can we have some dates on p o d please folks

GD, Steve's posted his pic yesterday so u can have today
