Thank you for the explanation, First Minstrel, otherwise I’d be wondering about it all evening 🙂

  Hi Marion. I have wondered about it for weeks and now, at last, I can wonder about something else.

I see a huge robotic head behind the ladder, like a tin man peeping out. 🙂

I see it as well. It looks evil, or at least like it is in protection mode.

Great photo. In England this sort of machine would have a name like a “saggar makers bottom knocker” (real name) or a “raddleing nancy” (made up name).

Pymster! Yes, you English have some names. I like both those names equally. If your family sang with a woman named Gladys Knight, you all would be Gladys Knight and the Pyms. Eh?

  Pym’s alternative spelling Pimm’s is a classic alcoholic summer drink!

That is all I have to do, get out some. It has been a fun summer riding around on my motorcycle. The kind of summer that will become even more special with a little time to reflect on it all. Always appreciate your comments Regina.
