Harwell Campus

 

 

This is the new Maderna building on the Harwell Campus

It is built on part of the remaining runway of the old RAF base where they took of for the D Day landings

Not far away is another part of the building this also meant the removal of the Harwell Catapult it's taken over a year to get this far and it looks like it is not far off opening

Back in 2018 I retired from this place Diamond Light Source

I was interested to see this building which I knew was being built, they were talking about it back when I left. Now this one is nearing completion as well. This is where they will build Diamond 2

This is new as well

I'm going to have to find out what it represents

St Mary Banbury

 

This week the Church Explorer visits St Mary Banbury a church I have been longing to see inside for a long time. The lat time I visited the church was closed but on this occasion I had driven past on my way to Alkerton and noticed the doors open. On my return I had to collect my son from a nearby hospital ans asked if he minded visiting with me which he was happy to do. The church was open when we got there as there had been a Women's World day of Prayer service and they were having refreshments after they were also happy for me to get some photos. I found the church quite stunning

Reflective moments

 

I'll star with this scene I witnessed, the swan you see has just chased off the geese for landing on the lake, it has a mate nesting back the other end of the lake. When the geese landed the sway swam all the wall along the lake and chased the Geese away

Later in the day some reflections I noticed in the lake by the caravan site where we stay
