Photo from the Devon and Exeter Crematorium, the resting place of my natural father whose ashes were scattered there in the late 1970's.
When I was very young, I was placed into the care system and lived in a children's home for most of my childhood, well over a decade. My mother could not take care of me due to her severe mental health problems and neither could my father who was so desperately ill with a terminal illness. Even today I cannot imagine the pain and suffering my father went through, but I remember him walking me to the sweet shop and getting sweets for me - a tube of Smarties which he knew I loved. I remember the time he tried to look after and nurse we when I had a broken nail and tried to look after it and nurse it. He watched over me and cared for me with such precision and detail. I remember the many times he carried me on his shoulders in the most horrendous of weather conditions to the children's home making sure I was protected and I was safe. En-route I would often lose control of my bladder, yet he was so gentle and so kind, despite how weak and ill he was. He would often sit with me trying to teach me how to play board games such as chess and I am convinced, even to this day, that my love for music and piano playing comes from him who was such a great pianist.

I lived in England for 5 years and I used to work in Beckenham. I remember some people at my church adopted and fostered. Thanks for sharing & God bless you & keep you always Anthony.

A lonely moorland road near Stanhope in the Durham Dales. Plenty of sheep around with no road sense whatsoever!

What are the black and white poles

What are the black and white poles

I think they are snow poles, these areas are prone to very heavy and deep snowfall especially during the winter, rending the roads impassable.

A bit of a fuzzy picture of my Raspberry Pi.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Raspberry Pi, it is a highly affordable and very capable computer the size of a pack of cards. Very popular with people learning about computer science, programming and robotics. It's onboard USB connections allow you to add monitors, keyboards, a mouse and other peripherals. It is a very modular and flexible system, allowing you to run different operating systems on an SD card. The most popular ones are RISC OS and Linux.

So my boss breaks out with this ziplock baggie full of unclaimed jewelry, and i select something for my Mom and Sister:

Top is for my Mom and the bottom pair of earrings for my Sister.
