Hi I love the clocks. Mostly the Binary Slave. I do not have the skills to put one together. Is there any place I can purchase these things??

Also in the US we use a Radio Clock from Colorado. It looks like your clocks use a clock signal from Germany.

Anyway Anywhere I can purchase these cool rigs?? Jim Davison

Hi, brilliant site.  I live in Kenley and it is great to be able to check the local weather any time of day.  Although I do not understand all the dials I ike to look at the site.  The weather forecaster (weather for the following few days) seems to have disappeared over the last couple of days, will you be bringing it back.

Great Site, been using it for years.
I especially like the timelapse from the webcam.
It would be great if the quality could be improved.
It seems the images taken are clean without pixelation.
But when the timelapse is started heavy pixelation occurs.
Maybe due to the encoding settings when creating the video?
Really love the layout and comprehensive data.
Many Thanks :-)

Thanks for taking time to comment Chris.

My weather cam is uploaded to Weather underground who store the images and create the time lapse. It looks like they use very heavy compression when storing the images so the playback is very pixelated.

Great photos of the area, I used to live in Valley Road from 1965 to 1975(close to where some of the photo`s were taken) with my parents, I can remember walking up to Riddlesdown High School in all that bad weather in the 60`s/70`s.

Great website which I have watched for several years from nearby and when abroad for weather on return.

 Just noticed recently a few minor errors in weather symbol and today the temp indicator seems

 to have failed. Keep up the good work, we love it !

Hi David. Thanks for the comment. The temp sender failed last night when it was too dark to repair it.

The temp sensor is now working again.

The weather symbol forecasts are generated by the weather station and are only a rough guide to the weather over the next day.

Congratulations for your excellent site. My Grandfather was Pte. Howard Vincent DUFFIELD (b.1895), #730060, 1st Canadian Division, 1st Brigade, 4th Battalion, 1st "A" Coy (from the 111th Battalion) who fought at the; Battles of Vimy Ridge (on 9-12 Apr 1917), Passchendaele (on 6-10 Nov 1917) and 2nd Arras (26 Aug - 3 Sep 1918). He was wounded by shrapnel during the push to the Buissy Switch, in the early hours of the 3rd of September, 1918 and evacuated to the field hospital. He was first transferred to No. 1 C.O.R.D and sent to (Suffolk Hospital, Bury St. Edmunds), next to Colchester General Military Hospital and finally to the Princess Patricia Canadian Red Cross Hospital (Gordon Camp, Boxhill) for treatment. Discharged from treatment on 18 Oct 1918 and posted to the 3rd Canadian Reserve Battalion (at Witley). Shipped back to Canada on 12 Dec 1918, then reported to No. 1 District Depot (London Ontario) and was honourably discharged on 24 Jan 1919. He was a moulder and house painter by trade and married Clara Maud; daughter of Pte. Thomas George BOTTERILL, #238110, 8th Regiment Battalion (from the 204th Battalion) on 5 Oct 1920 and had 5 children. He enlisted again on 2 Aug 1940 (during WWII) and was posted with the Ontario Home Guard Unit (he would escort German POWs from New York City or Halifax to a Ontario POW Camp, amoung other duties) and was honourably discharged on 21 Jul 1945. He passed away in Toronto, Ontario on 16 Jan 1971 and is buried in the Pine Hills Cemetery (Veteran's Section), Toronto, Ontario. Keith

Great to see your research, not only was my relative (Roy Kallar) with your relative in the 83rd overseas--they attested on the same day (papers signed by same men) in Toronto, and took same voyage on the Olympic...so safe to say they knew each other. He was my great-grandfather. The difference was, the 83rd was broken up once overseas to supply units, so mine went to the 4th Canadian Mounted rifles and yours went to the 3rd Please let me know if you uncover any group photos prior to the Olympic's arrival in Liverpool...of the 83rd in Ontario All the best, Matt Parker PS..My relative Roy Kallar is on 4cmr.com

Hi, have looked at your website before and have visited it again today. Lots of interesting snippets of information. We have, this year, set up our own bluetit blog as it is the first time we have had a pair of bluetits nesting in the box with the camera. We have had 3 previous broods of bluetits in previous years but not with a camera. It has been very interesting to see it as it happens as in the past we have followed other websites to help us imagine what stage our chicks were at. The special part this year was to actually witness all 7 of our chicks leaving the nest. Our bluetit blog can be found at www.goodallweb.com/bluetits Will visit this website again in the future.

Very interesting site, Brett. I've been looking for a circuit to drive a pre-war Gledhill-Brook "electrically propelled" (i.e. 30s impulse)time recorder, and your project has given me some excellent ideas (though mine will be much, much less eleborate!). Regards, Nick.

Hi Brett, been reading you clock pages, very interesting. My interest started off with a 1932 Gillet and Johnston master clock and several slaves, but was too noisy for the house (30 sec clunk!) pendulum drive altered to magnetic, now silent. Added hourly chime along similar lines to yours. work ok but found a cct on a site electronicsforu.com hourly chime generator. Very simple and uses a clever way of doing an and gate (2 diodes and a 180K) I,ve been using this type of and gate on binary counters, much simpler than the usual way. If you cant find the site, email me and I,ll attach the diagram and description. Regards Peter

Hi Brett,

Last time we chatted, you were in the middle of renovations and the camea had a temporary setup. Is there any way you can adjust the camea so we can see more of the landscape and a bit less of the cloud? Currently 80% of the image is cloud. We all want to marvel at the snow and the surrounds. Can you help us out here?
