Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JBX - Fays Shoes, Handmade Irish Dance Footwear, have always believed in creating only the highest quality Irish dancing rootwear and are the worldwide leaders in the manufacture of high quality Irish dancing shoes.

Eamon and Dan tap into the wonder of Riverdance by Tomas Conlon
DAN Fay and his son Eamon are shoemakers to the stars. In a quiet workshop off Dublin's Parnell Square they have crouched for weeks over their lasts, making the dancing shoes that have clattered in spectacular rhythm at the Riverdance show which premiered Thursday night. Sixty-four-year-old Dan has been making shoes for nearly 50 years but his trade - like Irish dancing itself - came in from the margins at last year's Eurovision when Jean Butler and Michael Flatley tapped their way into the nation's heart.
Ms Butler was wearing their handmade shoes that night, as were most of the backing dancers, and both Jean and Michael will be wearing them for the duration of the Riverdance Show. In addition, they have measured and fitted the Russian Cossack dancers with their shoes, along with the guest tap dancers from America and a host of the supporting performers. The Russians have also had their cossack dancing boots mended in the Fay workshop
Dan and Eamon will also be present backstage each night of the Riverdance show to carry out running repairs on broken straps, loose heels and any other emergencies that might occur. Ms Butler's shoes in fact were rushed by courier to their workshop last Thursday for a repair job just hours before the curtain went up on the show.
The shoes are made entirely from leather with a fiberglass tip at the toe and heel which produces that tap effect.

For some years, between April and September each Tuesday evening is 'Motorbike Night'. Coles Miller are soliciters and are now 'sponsoring' the event.
From 6pm, the Quay is closed to all traffic, which lets everyone wander around and look at the various machines. Owners, many well heeled, plus the odd Satans Slave and Hells Angel are keen to show off their pride &
joy.
On this tuesday evening there must have been 1000 to 1500 bikes. A panorama joiner in a Hockney style is probably the only way to show the size of the spectacle.
This has been formed from over 20 images and the original size is 15115x7115 pixels.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HFE7 - The JST takes both disabled and able-bodied men and women to sea, to not only teach them how to crew a tall ship, but to promote equality, sharing, and to celebrate our individual differences by working together to achieve greater things.
Since the JST was established in 1978 over 36,000 people have sailed with us. Of these approximately 12,500 people were disabled and 4,500 wheelchair users.
A trip with the JST changes the lives of disabled people as they suddenly realise that, far from being unable to join in with everybody else, they can do everything. I've seen people come home from a voyage and seem five feet taller ? the experience has completely changed the way they see themselves.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4997236096 - 'Enter Sandman - 'Metallica' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Enter Sandman' is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the first track on their fifth album Metallica and was released as the album's first single. The song was produced by Bob Rock, and the music was written by Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, and James Hetfield. Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the concept of a child's nightmares.
'Enter Sandman' was the first song Metallica had written for their 1991 self-titled album, Metallica. Metallica's songwriting method involved lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted submitting tapes of song ideas and concepts to rhythm guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, who then used the material in conjunction with their own ideas to write songs in Ulrich's house in Berkeley, California.
'Enter Sandman' apparently evolved from a guitar riff that Hammett wrote. Originally, the riff was 2 bars in length, but Ulrich suggested the first bar be played 4 times. The song was quickly finished, but Hetfield did not come up with vocal melodies and lyrics for a long time.
The song, in fact, was among the album's last to have lyrics, and the lyrics featured in the song are not the original
Hetfield felt that 'Enter Sandman' sounded 'catchy and kind of commercial' and so to contradict the sound, he wrote lyrics about 'destroy[ing] the perfect family
a huge horrible secret in a family' that included references to cot death.
For the first time in Metallica's history, however, Ulrich and producer Bob Rock told Hetfield that they felt he could write better lyrics. Nevertheless, according to Ulrich, the song was the 'foundation, the guide to the whole record' even before it had lyrics.
It appears always to be played live and has been covered several times, including by Richard Cheese.
------------------------
Maybe this shot could have been entitled 'Enter Sandbanks'. It is a 41 shot joiner/panorama taken in the restaurant bar of the Haven hotel at Sandbanks, Dorset.
Sandbanks is a small peninsula or spit (1km or 0.39 sq mi) crossing the mouth of Poole Harbour on the English Channel coast at Poole in Dorset, England. It is well-known for the highly regarded Sandbanks Beach and property value
Sandbanks has, by area, the fourth highest land value in the world. The Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs Coastline area has been dubbed as 'Britain's Palm Beach' by the national media.
There are exclusive homes both on Sandbanks and across the immediate region, stretching east from the Harbour to The Avenue (the eastern boundary of Poole). The adjacent areas of Lilliput, Branksome Park and Canford Cliffs, also have the largest concentration of expensive properties outside London. Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is among many famous residents of the Sandbanks area. In 2005 a modest bungalow on the peninsula sold for three million pounds, despite its state of disrepair.
The Haven Hotel is an AA four star hotel at the end of Sandbanks overlooking the Studland chain ferry over towards Corfe Castle. The first hotel built on this location was the North Haven Inn in 1838. The Inn was demolished and replaced with the present Haven Hotel in 1887.
Guglielmo Marconi established a wireless transmitter at the Haven in 1899, and carried out some of his first wireless telegraphy experiments from the hotel. Photographs and information on these experiments are still on display in the Marconi Lounge, (where I enjoyed a pint of Ringwood Fortyniner bitter). Theres a lovely view out to sea, bit for goodness sake don't forget your credit card (ouch!).

This set of shots, joined in a Hockney stylee was taken just after my breakfast. I have always been a fan of his photo stage, when he did many 'joiner' panoramas. It inspired me to have a go and the fascination in takeing something that no one had ever taken or visualised before has always excited me. So no apologies for rough edges(!).
The Fullers brewery write up describes it as 'this olde worlde property is full of period features, character and charm. All 12 bedrooms are stylish and furnished to an excellent standard. We take great care in choosing our beds and bed linen, so that our guests have a comfortable and relaxing sleep'.
It goes on 'The restaurant enjoys an excellent reputation for good home-cooked food, using the finest local produce, good wines and Fuller's award winning beers. The Fisherman's Haunt is close to the New Forest, within easy reach of the Christchurch and Bournemouth areas and is ideal for the country lover and angler, with the River Avon being close by'.
Being a fan of Fullers beers I have stayed there a few times while in the area, although the Woolpack just a short walk towards Ringwood is my usual choice for food. The 'Haunt is doing more local food and food sourced from local New Forest ingredients now I have noticed, which can only be a good thing.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4399167540 - 'An excellent country pub for food near Sopley Mill and church. Here captured at dusk in a cold february.
It is thatched with real fires and has a large garden and dining area. It is a 17th Century building situated between Ringwood and Christchurch about five miles from the famous Ringwood Brewery. It was originally a private house, and became an inn in 1725.
Sopley village was a centre of smuggling. The smugglers boats were heaved up from the River Avon to the Woolpack, where pack horses were waiting to take the goods to the New Forest and onward to the centres of Winchester and London.
The pub name probably originated because the vicar, the Rev. James Willis, was a keen sheep farmer and took a major part in distributing his Merino sheep, of which he had over a thousand throughout the district. These are a small, short-woolled breed, prized for their fine wool. As IOW Ray mentions below too, this pub sign was painted by local Sign Artist, Peter J Oldreive.
If you are in the area, drop in for a satisfying pint.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEYA7D - Poole Quay, Dorset at dusk, Poole, Dorset BH15 1AB showing Corkers bar and High Street.
Poole Quay is a visitor attraction to the south of the town centre lined with a mixture of traditional public houses, redeveloped warehouses, modern apartment blocks and historic listed buildings. Once the busy centre of Poole's maritime industry, all port activities moved to Hamworthy in the 1970s as the Quay became increasingly popular with tourists.
The Grade II* listed Customs House on the quay-front was built in 1814 and now functions as a restaurant and bar. Nearby the Grade I listed Town Cellars, a medieval warehouse built in the 15th century on the foundations of a 14th century stone building, houses a local history centre.
Scaplen's Court, another Grade I listed building, also dates from the medieval era. The Poole Pottery production factory once stood on the eastern end of the Quay but the site was redeveloped into a luxury apartment block and marina in 2001, although an outlet store remains on the site. Boats regularly depart from the quay during the summer and provide cruises around the harbour and to Brownsea Island, the River Frome and Swanage.
Public artworks along the Quay include Sea Music ? a large metal sculpture designed by Sir Anthony Caro, and a life-size bronze sculpture of Robert Baden-Powell created to celebrate the founding of the Scout Movement on Brownsea Island. At the western end of the quay near the mouth of Holes Bay is Poole Bridge. Built in 1927, it is the third bridge to be located on the site since 1834

Christchurch Priory is an ecclesiastical parish and former priory church in Christchurch in the English county of Dorset (formerly in Hampshire). Christchurch Priory is rated as in the top 18 churches in the Country and described by The Times as the least appreciated of the Great Churches of England. It is the longest parish church in the country and is larger than 21 English Anglican Cathedrals.
The legend of the miraculous beam dates to the early 12th century. The story is that a beam was found to have been cut too short when it was hoisted into place.
This would have been embarrassing for the carpenters since the wood was expensive and would be difficult to replace. There was however a mysterious carpenter who had worked and eaten alone. The day following the discovery, when the carpenters returned they found the beam was in place and it now fitted.
The unknown carpenter was never seen again, and the story came to be that it was Jesus Christ who had intervened. The church became Christ's Church of Twynham in commemoration of the event. In time the town became Twynham-Christchurch and eventually shortened to Christchurch. The beam can be seen today and is located in the Priory's Ambulatory.
