Memoriam
A statue to honour those who died in the steel industry in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, over the years. Corby has suffered financial hardship because of the loss of most of the industry and, whilst regeneration is occurring, it is mainly the leisure industry which is creating jobs now. I feel this statue also honours the dying industry itself.

We went off to the Midsummer Fete at Chatteris, in the Fens, which is one of our favourite haunts. Unfortunately, the heavens opened and we were treated to a deluge of H2O. These chaps were waiting to give a demonstration of knocking each other about Viking style but there was no audience for their skills. Except Mark and me.
