And back for another #sublimesunday, this week starting with another amazing flower from my photos collection, because yet again I have failed miserably to take photos of things during the week.
This weeks installment is going to be entitled random things from my photo stream, kicking off with Blackpool Tower - from of course the UK's amazing West coast.
And the view from the top, because I have actually been to the top - fortunately they have lifts inside so you don't have to go up a million steps - just a few to get to the very top top bit.
And a sunset over the sea at Blackpool - I seem to have loads of these.
On to the random, a road in Rastrick - and no I don't know why it is in my photos either.
Another random road, in Shelf this time.
And a statue in a park, if you look quickly it could be making a rude gesture - but it has in fact got a large Mr Whippy 99 - no flake though.
It's me, at Otley Coffee Festival 2024 - quite a small affair you just had your own little table to brew coffee for people to try that were visiting.
A relatively bright looking sack of raw coffee from Colombia.
Seagulls in flight, I have quite a few of these too. Another Blackpool seaside photo.
Seagulls on the street - scavenging for chips.
And a big green combine harvester - again not entirely sure what it is up to in my photos but it is there.
To be fair it has been a particularly miserable week for the weather in the UK, with random torrential downpours and we are due to start this week with some gale force winds. So not the best conditions for grabbing photos - must try harder next week!
All the photos are my own, if not exactly the freshest. All text is my own fair writing abiity. Share all you fun and creative photos for #SublimeSunday
Thank you, the images are very beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed them.
You have a nice streak going now. Nice sunset photo. Glad to read your posts again.
!pimp
I just need to remember to take photos during the week - always seem to be so busy getting stuff done I forget until I get home for the day!
I totally get it. I try to do my posts at night the day before because my mind is always on something else.
Good to see you get out and about away from the roasting mill. I just put in an order to keep you busy :)
Have a great week!
I did notice that thank you very much, the staff were exceptionally productive today so with luck it is already with FedEx for delivery tomorrow. We are just starting to build up for the busy run up to Christmas, I have a commercial customer that does Christmas Coffee Calendars would you believe - and through October to End of November has ordered 90kg of 25 different coffee's and that is 90kg times 25 origins - so 2250kg total - plus an eye watering 28kg of Jamaican Blue Mountain!
Wow. That's a nice order, but a lot of work for you.
The John Deere is not up to much because its spotless. 😃
Very true, I believe my Dad actually took that one at the Yorkshire Show last year - so it was on display rather then a hard working beast! Pretty cool though, anything with tracks is cool - except the Ford Richard Hammond put tracks on that kept falling off in an episode of The Grand Tour lol.
I remember that episode 🤣🤣. Yeah the aul combines are some machines . Worth about 250k
I used to have a great photo of a herring gull (a knee high sized one) catching and eating a rat. I have no idea where that is. Just down the road from Blackpool in Southport.
We get the odd Seagull around Halifax and Bradford - if they are partial to be a bit of Rat we could do with mass moving seagulls from the coast to deal with the vermin problem! Fortunately my business has zero problems with vermin, the last two pest controllers we had in said there was no evidence of any vermin and they advised against us having them put traps down - because it would actually encourage something we do not have in the first place. Seems we have nothing in the building they would consider food - and to be fair there are plenty of takeaways up the road from us which are a far more interesting place to hang around.
Yeah you are a bit too far inland really. Currently I'm a about a 10 minute walk to the sea .....cough ......oil terminal.
Coffee beans not as appealing to rats as they are to civets then?
Well the Civets eat the coffee cherries - because on the coffee plant two beans grow side by side in a fleshy cherry - so I imagine they seem like a tasty snack like that. The raw beans we receive have been removed from the cherry - and then dried to a specific moisture level - so they are just dry and hard, nothing you can do with them in that state and not very appealing either. Once roasted we seal it bags straight away, and roasted coffee is not a particularly tasty snack - although we have a few customers who coat them in chocolate....
That's a very fair point about the cherries.
I really like chocolate coated coffee beans. I get big bags of them every now and a again (when I have cash and feeling indulgent) from a company called Speedrange (which is mostly a herbs and spices site). I'm guessing the beans have to be roasted differently - be more brittle.
You aren't thinking of branching out are you?
