Last autumn, we felt confident enough to start arranging things in the new year. One of these was a show by Chinese acrobats that Jools wanted to see. She got Jen, Sylv and a friend to go. And yesterday was the day of the show. I made it clear it wasn't for me, but I would go up to rephotograph some City churches and we would meet up afterwards for a meal before coming home.
When we arrange things, we don't know what slings and arrows fate might throw at us. In Tuesday's case, it was a Tube drivers strike, and no last minute talks fixed that. I could arrange my trip to avoind using public transport other than the train up and back home, which were unaffected. Jools thought they would be OK, as their tickets were for the Odeon, which she thought was in Leicester Square, but it turned out was the old Hammersmith Apollo. Now, usually this would not have been a problem, but on Tuesday it was.
They arranged to leave an hour earlier than planned and try to get a taxi, which they did after waiting in line for an hour, getting to the theatre just half an hour before showtime, leaving them only time to get a snack.
Their journey up was done outside rush hour, the show ened at five, and they had to get back to St Pancras. Which would prove to be an adventure.
For me, however, it was a walk in the park. And to add to the pleasure of the day, I would meet up with my good friend, Simon, owner of the Churches of East Anglia website, just about every word and picture done by his own hand. His website also covers the City of LOndon churches, so I asked if he wanted to meet up; he did, so a plan was hatched to meet and visit a few churches, one of which, King Edmund, he had not been inside. He wouldn't arrive until jsut after ten to get the offpeak ticket prices, I would get up early as a couple of the churches would be open before nine.
A plan was made, and I had a list of chuches and a rough order in which to visit them.
The alarm went off at five, and we were both up. I having a coffee after getting dressed and Jools was to drop me off at the station, and as we drove in the heavy fog that had settled, I realised there was a direct train to Cannon Street just after seven, could I make it to avoid a half hour layover at Ashford?
Yes I could.
Jools dropped me off outside Priory station, I went in and got my ticket, and was on the train settled into a forward facing seat with three whole minutes to spare.
The train rattled it's way out of the station and through the tunnel under Western Heights, outside it was still dark. So I put my mask on and rested my eyes as we went through Folkestone to Ashford, an towards Pluckley, Headcorn, Marden to Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and so onto south east London. The train filled up slowly, until we got to Tonbridge which left few seats remaining, and at Sevenoaks, it was standing room only, but by then its a twenty minute run to London Bridge.
After leaving London Bridge station, the train took the sharp turn above Borough Market and over the river into Cannon Street. I was in no hurry, so enoyed the peace and space of an empty carriage before making my way off the train then along the platform and out onto the street in front. A heavy drizzle was falling, so I decided to get some breakfast and another coffee. Just up Walbrook there was an independent sandwich place, so I went in and asked what I wanted: faced with dozens of choices, all made to order, I had no idea.
I decided on a simple sausage sandwich and a coffee and watched people hurrying to work outside. I had all the time I wanted.
I check my phone and find that opening times were a little different, but St Mary Aldermary was open from half eight, so I check the directions and head there.
It was open, mainly because there is a small cafe inside. I ask if I could go in, they say yes, so I snap it well with the 50mm lens fitted, and decide that something sweet was called for. They recommended the carrot cake, so I had a slice of that and a pot of breakfast tea sitting and admiring the details of the church. Once I had finished, I put on the wide angle lens and finished the job.
-------------------------------------------
The tower of St Mary Aldermary is one of the great Wren moments, one of the three great eyecatcher towers in the City along with St Bride to the west along Fleet Street and St Dunstan in the East by the Tower of London. It was clearly intended as a foil to the cathedral when viewed from south of the river, with its great rabbit-eared parapet as if it were visiting the city on a day out from Suffolk. The gothic style of the church is popularly believed to have been a demand of the patron, Henry Rogers, but it seems just as likely that it was simply a copying of the features of the medieval church which had been rebuilt on a grand scale just 150 years before. That project was bankrolled by Sir Henry Keeble, and in fact the roof and tower were not completed until the 1620s, forty years before the great fire.
Internally, this church is a great sugar confection, the plaster-fan vaulting of the nave and aisles full of joy, like being inside a giant wedding cake. This is like nothing medieval in London or elsewhere, but as Pevsner points out, perhaps Wren was copying the work of the 1620s, not that of the medieval period. The arcades that support it look at first medieval, but during the 1935 repairs they were found to be standing on reused medieval rubble. Many of the furnishings are long after Wren, although the 17th Century font survives, as does a very attractive sword rest. Pevsner had no kind words to say for Lawrence Lee's glass, although to my mind its simplicity is a perfect foil for the architectural grandeur. In any case, John Crawford's west window is better.
This church is epic in scale, without the intimacy familiar from its near neighbours. The great tower is seen perfectly from the viewing platform of the Tate Modern gallery across the river, its significance to the City's urban landscape immediately apparent.

I have taken this photo during one of the first proper set up photo shot I have done. While I told the group to pull a model face, only realized Irina is already in the best model post I have seen: a strong, self confident yet beautiful face was what I was looking for. Though the other two didnt seem to be paying attention. Quickly snapped a shot before the moment fade away.

This is my third cover using my own handwriting, and to me, I think they are my best covers. At first with this cover, I used the cutout that Alex had done, and tried textures behind it, but I just couldn't get it to work, so then I used this other picture, and although I loved the colours of it, I think it was a bit too plain. I then used selective colouring and kept the brightest things in colour, apart from the blue because to me, it was too much. I then had to find the right brush to be able to write 'Confident' which took me a while, but I think it looks good now.
Hope you guys like it!

arbeiten sehr hart, halten die familie zusammen, finden immer irgendwie eine loesung fuer herausforderungen und koennen sehr viel ertragen. in china ist es immer bergauf gegeangen mit der wirtschaft und das rasant. wie die zukunft ausieht weiss niemand. ich vermute es wird etwas langsamer voran gehen. kein problem,da chinesen sehr flexibel sind und das finde ich sehr beeindruckend.
wir in deutschland, koennen sehr viel von der mentalitaet lernen , denn sie lernen vom ausland.
ein aufeinander zugehen in der gesamten welt kann berge versetzen und mehr verstaendnis bringen fuer alle seiten

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.
