Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road to Watendlath, in the English Lake District. It is famous for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw. It is one of the most photographed bridge in England.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

**DO NOT USE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION**
Green space and housing in New Ash Green, Kent (Planned by Eric Lyons and SPAN). Photo taken on a visit to New Ash Green with the 20th Century Society on 28th September 2013.
Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). This is a very old tree for my area - about 150 years old.
Growing on Jim Neil's land at Tullynacree. This tree is about 30m from the Annacloy river which can be seen in the background.
Ash took his life in his hands when taking this photo... Lots of people die each year from coconut attacks!!
St Nicholas, Bracon Ash, Norfolk
The two lovely churches of Bracon Ash and Hethel sit barely a mile apart in the fields and woods of South Norfolk. Both churches are open all the time, so the lucky people around here can step into their numinous spaces whenever they want to, whenever they need to.
For me, Bracon Ash, full of light and air, is the lovelier of the two. But Hethel is equally welcoming, and I think of them both fondly, and look forward to revisiting them.
Bracon Ash, like its neighbour Hethel, is a scattering of houses through a wide parish rather than a real village centre, and the unassuming church of St Nicholas sits on the winding road backed by fields and copses.
There is no tower, and probably never was. Until about a century ago there was a bellcote, but since this fell the bell has been rung in a frame to the south of the nave; this has recently been renewed. From the north, the most striking feature is the wholly classical 18th century Berney mausoleum built against the wall of the chancel. This has a large portico that mimics an entrance, with a porthole-like round window. This in turn is echoed by blind windows to east and west. The actual entrance to the mausoleum is inside, as we shall see.
On the south side is an elegant aisle with its own pitched roof. This is something of a curiosity, because the windows appear to predate the arcade; but Pevsner suggests that a bequest of the 1370s may account for both, the first late in style and the second early. You step inside to an interior that is satisfying and harmonious, an essay in Early English and early Perpendicular on a small scale. Pale pastel walls add to the soothing atmosphere. Although there was a considerable 19th century restoration, it was rustic in character, retaining brick floors and with simple furnishings.
Complete Early English work is rare in Norfolk; the chancel here is not wholly complete, but the arching and hood moulding along the north and south walls is superb. That on the north side has been disrupted, of course; and even before the Berneys came along with their mausoleum there was a massive early 16th century mausoleum, and although only the frame of this survives it is so like the Bedingfield monument at Oxborough it is probably by the same hand. Richly detailed, it is an example of what would have happened to English church architecture after Perpendicular, if the Reformation had not come along.
And so, to the Berney mausoleum. This is fascinating, if rather macabre. Unlike the kind of 'mausoleum' you so often find in a parish church, its walls lined with grand monuments to the dead and with a family pew for the living, this is the real thing. On either side of a central corridor there are lines of coffin holes. Those to the east are now all full, with many remaining on the west side. As each hole was filled it was sealed with an inscribed slate slab, but there is no intention of disguising what is actually going on. It is worth coming to see.
February 10, 2016 Ash Wednesday Ashes
Father Paul Soper, Fr. Matt Williams and Fr. Jonathan Gaspar along with Natalia Soares and Ann Gennaro all from the Pastoral Center in Braintree, took part in distribution of ashes Wednesday morning at Park Street Station in downtown Boston. The Ash Wednesday event, sponsored by the Secretary for Evangelization and Discipleship distributed ashes to approximately 200 people. Every recipient was also given a sheet of paper with a short description of the meaning of ashes as well as an invitation to return to Church this Lent. The four area Catholic Chapels were also listed for their convenience. Photos by George Martell - BCDS - All rights reserved 2016
Trying out a new wig on my MuDoll Ash. The color matches his face-up well, but I'm thinking I want a wig with a little more body to it. I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos, but the wig is a little thin and with Ash's head being larger I think he could do a nice full wig. Still though, it does look nice. :)
If you want to know, the wig is from Sunny's World, and is the coffee long fur. The shirt and accessories I made myself.
