On the ancestry trail was sad but, at the same time, interesting. You first mentioned Clifford's father, William Blount, which got my interest. One of the big coal merchant names when I was growing up, with coke becoming the norm in the late 50s, was Charrington's who had a depot with a long coal drop at Brentford, as well as other depots, and coal offices often next door to station entrances.

...and seen, today, still constructing the wall on: Camera #2 Live Feed #2! Iceland Volcanic Eruption (divided screen showing several cameras) or, on its own: Camera #2 RÚV.is Live from the volcano in Geldingadalir, seen from Langihryggur, Iceland. NOTE for Camera #2: This is one of 3 alternating views of the valley so there may be a wait before the view of the wall appears. Screenshot showing one of the vehicles - there were two in view, earlier on, working centre picture increasing the height of the wall behind the lava flow (moving under the black crust from right to left). Five minutes later, this vehicle had moved left out of picture. Date below image reads: 2021-06-23 10:34:3? Time on screenshot (UK Time) 11.35.00 My interest in earth movers was revitalised on my trip, several years ago, 2016, behind Tornado from London to the SVR when watching Tornado's tender being re-loaded with coal, and seeing on Google Maps that Southall Railway Centre had been using them behind the shed. Moving coal rather than moving earth. Move #1: Get coal from bunker Move #2: Fill tender Repeat!

Get well soon and many thanks for your courageous post. Hope it isn't too long before you are up and about. Best wishes Polly and Ray

An update on the Iceland Volcano vehicles. A new wall is in progress between Nátthagi valley, alongside the lava which is advancing towards the road and the ocean, and Nátthagakriki valley to stop the lava going over the other side as well and possibly towards the town of Grindavík. A view from the other side at the beginning of this video: https://youtu.be/ueaLV-9Urrw Views of the wall: https://youtu.be/zjK9IHMHAAE https://youtu.be/YjiRdG7jUFg
