Kevin....we have houses being moved all the time. They tend to do it after midnight here when there's not much traffic. We live on a hill above a main road and I've seen them going past in the wee hours of the morning. They've hit many a light pole too!
Have even been stuck driving behind one....that was just horrible and took us forever to get home!

Hayley....do love your horse....haven't been riding for years.

Moving houses eh? That's nothing!

How about aircraft? In the early days of it's life, the European Airbus was built in sections in different countries. The components were transported by road to France for final assemblies. The French factory was approached via small villages. There was a TV programme which shower the Bristol built wings being hauled very slowly through sleepy French villages with inches of clearance to spare between power lines and buildings.

I wonder what they do now? Use dirigibles?


So, what I'm doing now is to think about the above TV programme and write the above post. (That's to get out of being accused of a thread hijack! Lol)

That's amazing Richard....it's very interesting find out how they do everything, but I wouldn't have thought of that one!

This is when we had all that snow last year and he was waiting for his hay.

He's just lovely, with his nice cosy winter coat on! Living in a next door field sounds ideal, close so you can keep an eye on them. You say they are native--do you know what?

Brandy, the horse I mostly ride at the moment, also has an occasional itchy feet problem though not sure if it's mite or something else. He suddenly stamps, which is usually not part of any dressage routine (and on the day, would certainly downgrade us from a gold to a silver...:-) :-) :-)

Brandy is a very friendly soul and would like you to give ?Shamrock (is that his name?)
a kiss from him xxx
& from me too xxx

To keep this on-thread, at this moment I'm on my way to the PC to upload an image of Brandy to post.
And at the moment before that, I was searching for some nice emotis to add.
Perhaps I should make this into a moment-by-moment blog?
Keep replies clean please, I'm only a poor Brit.

From this site:

How Boeing makes airplanes in the largest building in the world | DVICE

<<A lot of what Boeing does in Everett is assembly, meaning that work crews are taking completed parts from other places and putting them together.

Smallish parts arrive on trucks and trains, but the bigger chunks (such as entire Dreamliner wings) get flown in whole from Italy and Japan aboard heavily modified 747 cargo aircraft called Dreamlifters. Each Dreamlifter has an internal cargo capacity of 65,000 cubic feet, accessed through the tail assembly, which is actually a giant door that swings open. For all you cargo aircraft buffs out there, you'll be interested to learn that the Dreamlifter can haul more cargo by volume than any other aircraft, although the mighty AN-225 still wins out on maximum payload weight. Boeing has four of these things continuously flying around the world, ferrying parts to Everett.>>


If you get the chance to do the tour, I recommend it.

Taking pictures of Speakers Corner in Regina,Saskatchewan.
The lamps were originally part of the Cumberland screen at the Marble Arch entrance to Hyde Park in London,England from 1907-1960.

I'm playing with my new kittie!

Shamrock is an Irish cob and Smudge is an Exmoor. Both have very thick coats and are suited to living in cold areas. Their fur grows very long which allows dripping far from the main coat. Allergies to mites cause the skin to break and if not treated it be omes calcareous and he then "grows" lumps on the sides of his legs. I would hate to cut his feathers as it would reveal his lumpy legs. I have trouble treating him because he won't let me anywhere near his legs when he has sores.
