Today, in the little chapel of the Erika-Friedhof in Herford, we said “farewell” to Elizabeth „Liz“ Stewart-Holtmann in a simple, yet moving memorial service organized by her daughter, pictured on the right) who more or less single handedly introduced Herford to the finest Scottish folk in the form of „North Sea Gas“ from Edinburgh.
She will be dearly missed and her good spirited nature & laughter will be with us for a long time yet.
Godspeed Liz & thanks for everything!

EINE BELOHNUNG GIBT ES NATÜRLICH AUCH!
Not having seen Mercury for many years I was rather happy to catch the little, sun-grazing inner planet during yesterday’s beautiful sunset.
I’ve been hunting this one for a while now, and today I got lucky in the “Verler Bruch” near Gütersloh, Germany:
Lifer number 275 means there are “only” 25 species to go until I finally enter the Club300 (Europe first, Germany later 🙂
Thanks to “Ackis” talents, birders-hf.de now offers a mobile version for all you birders out there in “the field”
don’t worry, you’ll be redirected to the encrypted site as usual.
Some buzzwwords added for good measure:
disruptive / digital transformation / apps that do not suck / you’re doing it wrong 😀
Today I replaced my 10-year old Nikon Coolpix 8700 with a brand new coolpix 900. What a monster! Pics and review to follow…
Quick taste of the 83x optical zoom, no tripod, magpie was at around 35m, cloudy sky:
The image stabilization does a great job apparently.
The SimRacing community mourns the loss of one of its most gifted figures: On May 15th, Dave Purdy passed away aged 71. His countless contributions to simracing will be remembered for a long time.
We raise our glasses in remembrance to a man who never shied away from stating his opinions in a very soothing and likeable, yet determined voice (the only medium that many of us ever got to know him over, sadly) and who produced a plethora of useful information and genuine content that helped us improve, enjoy and pursue our passion.
Our thoughts & deepest sympathies are with his family and friends.
You will be missed.
Godspeed, Dave.
The first wedding of the year has been duly celebrated very much helped by the “Dollies“, a great live band from Osnabrück who really did a stellar job of entertaining us during Robin’s and Linda’s wedding in Kirchlengern yesterday.
Best wishes to Robin & Linda and thanks for a fantastic party!
I guess you know the feeling… what songs to pick for your own funeral and so on while browsing your 50+ GB playlist 😉
My favourites right now would be “Mr. Blue Sky” by ELO, “Träum vom Meer” by the “Wise Guys”, “Drowned on Dry Land” by Del Amitri, “Morning Aire” by Tommy Emmanuel, “Death and and all his friends” by Coldplay , “The Final Trawl” (both versions by North Sea Gas and Emily Smith) and many many more…. probably too many to fit into a service 😉
One of my all time favourite poems for the occasion is copied below thanks to poets.org by Emily Dickinson. Enjoy!
Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality. We slowly drove – He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility – We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess – in the Ring – We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain – We passed the Setting Sun – Or rather – He passed us – The Dews drew quivering and chill – For only Gossamer, my Gown – My Tippet – only Tulle – We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground – The Roof was scarcely visible – The Cornice – in the Ground – Since then – ‘tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses’ Heads Were toward Eternity –
