Lewis Carroll 1832-1898 (real name Charles Dodgson)
The author of 'Alice in Wonderland' preached at St. Mary's in 1864
The parish of Streatley has a long history going back to Anglo Saxon times. Following the Norman conquest of 1066, Geoffrey de Mandeville was made Lord of Streatley Manor for his valour at the battle of Hastings. It was he who made a generous gift of land to support the priest, and it was he who appointed Wibert as Priest of Streatley in 1086.
The present church and chancel were practically rebuilt in 1864. Some additions were made to the tower, which was originally built in the 15th century: the turret staircase on the south side and the demolition of the original cupola which housed the Sanctus bell (circa 1549). It now hangs at the back of church.
At the beginning of the 19th century, St Mary's was in a very poor state of repair but it was extensively restored in the mid 19th century under the auspices of a Mrs Stone, who was the lady of the manor at Streatley House in the High Street. The chancel was rebuilt by the lay rector, S Pusey, Esq. In 1893, the fine Victorian reredos was erected in grateful memory of Mrs Stone. The reredos is a beautiful design in alabaster by JL Pearson RA. Besides the reredos there are a number of memorials to the Stone family. Both the east and west windows are in memory of William Henry Stone (1863).
During the 19th century rebuilding work, many of the original 13th century materials were used, such as, flint (a local material) and stone. The clerestory is an addition, the extra windows increased the light and ventilation. The columns of the nave and aisles were built in alternate bands of cream Bath stone and Berkshire chalk. In 1864 Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, consecrated the restored church.
Under the tower arch is a marble wall slab to Sophia Small, of Chalford, Gloucestershire, spinster 1783. Near this is a tomb with painted crest, to Samuel Rush (1771). At the back of the church there is a brass plaque, which lists the Vicars of Streatley dating back to 1307, when John de Whicheford was presented with 'the tithes of the Manor at Streatlee'.
Be the author of your own story. Your inner narrative will dictate your actions. Your inner narrative holds immense power in shaping your perception of reality and the way you navigate through life. It is the voice that whispers in your ear, coloring your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
“You are the author of your own life story. You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters. Without realizing it, you may have allowed the events in your life to write your story for you rather than taking deliberate action to write it in your own voice. What will it take to love your life story to create the happy endings you desire?”
― Susan C. Young ―
“ You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.”
― Oprah Winfrey ―

O Rio de Janeiro, fevereiro e março
Alô, alô, Realengo
Aquele Abraço!
Alô torcida do Flamengo
Aquele abraço ♫
As I had said in previous photos, honoring the 450th anniversary of Rio de Janeiro, I'm posting some photos already public before.
Como havia dito nas fotos anteriores, aproveitando o aniversario de 450 anos do Rio de Janeiro, estou postando algumas fotos já publicas anteriormente.
Esta foto tirada de Madrugada no Topo do Morro Dois Irmãos, esta é uma trilha moderada, mas talvez extremamente difícil para quem não tem disposição e um mínimo preparo físico, o que é uma pena, pois é uma das mais belas vistas da cidade, como pode ser visto nas fotos da sequencia que estão abertas.

Portrait for my client, Daniel, an author who wanted some portrait shots on location in Glasgow.

This is by no means a Bookmaker toast.
It is a toast for book-makers, i.e. authors.
Toast with eggsalad, pickled cucumber, chives, Miguel Vergara Striploin from "my" local butchershop and Parmesan sauce on top.
Not bad for a lunch, home alone.

Food Month Is Almost Over! Are you guys full yet? Only one more day after today! What am I going to do next month? More importantly, what am I going to do with all this leftover food? Oh, I'm just kidding...I ate it all. :(
Microwave Popcorn: On the weekends, once we have our itemized list of errands completed, we like to get back into bed with fresh popcorn & watch old movies. OK, that's a lie...it's usually mindless (but addictive) reality TV like "Jersey Shore" we're watching. :)

Spring goes by fast, and it's hard to keep up with all the nice and interesting things that happen in nature. I wish I had even more chances being outdoors, enjoying everything.
But this year, I at least got better photos of the European common frogs (Rana temporaria) than before. And I guess I still have some nice models to meet in nature before summer. If not, I will put the rest on the wish list for next spring ツ
