A shot from earlier in the year, when every night seemed to be a perfect sunset, and i was living on the beach. I do get a bit obsessive and hate to miss good skies, I should relax more, there's always another one. Grounds for divorce is a great and appropriate title by Elbow, and perhaps it would be.

Dos hombres paseaban por el valle y uno, señalando hacia la montaña, dijo:
-¿Ves esa ermita? Allí vive un hombre que hace ya mucho tiempo se divorció del mundo. Busca a Dios y a nada más sobre la tierra.
-No encontrará a Dios -dijo el otro hombre- hasta que no abandone su ermita y la soledad que lo envuelve, y regrese a nuestro mundo a compartir nuestra alegría y dolor.
*
Deux hommes se promenaient Dans la vallée et l’un d’eux dit, en regardant la montagne :
-Vois-tu cet ermitage ? Là, un homme vit, divorcé du monde depuis de longues années. Il cherche Dieu et ne s’intéresse à rien d’autre sur la terre.
-Il ne trouvera pas Dieu – dit l’autre homme – tant qu’il n’abandonnera pas son ermitage et la solitude qui l’entoure pour revenir dans le monde et partager nos joies et nos douleurs.
Khalil Gibran (Libanon, 1883-1931)

"Who would imagine there’s an authentic Chinese tea house hugging the Cliff Walk in Newport? Behind the incredible Marble House, at the bottom of its sloping lawn stands this little treasure with incredible views of the Atlantic. Marble House is a gilded era mansion built between 1888 and 1892 and was the summer cottage of Alva and William Vanderbilt. It cost approximately 11 million dollars to build, and it was given to Alva by her husband on her 39th birthday.
After they divorced, she married Oliver H.P. Belmont and became Alva Belmont. She is known as an ardent crusader for women’s equality and gave thousands of dollars to the National Women’s Party to advance women’s rights. After her second husband’s death in 1908, she re-opened Marble House and had the Chinese Tea House built on the cliffs. It was here that she held her rallies for women’s right to vote."

Black bryony is a climbing hedgerow and woodland edge plant that flowers between May and August. Later on, it produces red, shiny berries that can be seen in autumn and even early winter. Our only native member of the yam family, Black Bryony is actually highly poisonous. Despite its name and superficial resemblance, it is not a relative of White Bryony. The berries here are turning colour by degrees which is the norm.
I was trawling my archives ( as usual recently ) and came across this. I know exactly where it grows in several places and should get out and take a new shot - or have taken one as the case may be. This was taken using my first dslr the Nikon d70s with the older version of the 105 macro lens so the exif here shows the length as 135mm as expected. Now on my PC it was a couple of MB and so I have have used an up-sizer but I’m looking at it and there is no difference in appearance whatsoever, except I can zoom in way way further. I got that diffuse background and the berries with great difficulty actually…now this is the thing about photos. The memory is clear as day of my late husband and I coming across these but they were the other side of quite a deep ditch at the side of a bridle way and looked out over open countryside enabling that backdrop being thrown right out of focus. My late husband hung on to me as I straddled the ditch and pulled me hard back as soon as I had hit the shutter button. I didn’t land in the ditch which had water in it but it was a very close thing :)
I have to clarify something here as I received a message of condolence.
The ‘late’ husband referred to here is Brendan. My beloved husband who sadly lost his fight for life in 2012 My present husband is Jonathan who I met in 2015 and married in 2018
We had both had long happy marriages and were amazed that we fell in love and married. Strangely enough Jonathan and Brendan were born in the same year 1946…Brendan was Irish and Jonathan is Scottish and my first husband who I divorced was English….
There must be a joke in there somewhere I reckon 🤔
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

It was just an ordinary evening... or was it? In fact, not at all: today it is 3 years ago that I got married with my ex-husband - time to celebrate that I have finally made it through with the grieving, suffered the consequences of a divorce and learnt to forgive him and myself. Today was the day to remember the past.
I stumbled upon this little cemetery in Vigil, Colorado. I haven't really looked into it yet, but most of the people buried there have Hispanic names.
This stone belongs to Jose Vialpando, born in 1844. I think this was the only stone with a photo on it. Buried nearby is his first wife, Vesticon Vialpando, born in 1876. She died in 1906. They were married in 1892 and had at least one child together, Marcus, who is also buried in this cemetery.
She was not his first wife. His first was Emelia Duran Vialpondo. They were married in 1866. She lived until 1934, so it seems like they divorced sometime before 1892.
Still, I couldn't resist the composition here. Anytime I can incorporate a road in one of my photos, I will, but that's often pretty rare in a cemetery photo.
