Geruch und Geschmack finde ich unbeschreiblich gut.
Earl Grey ist die Bezeichnung einer Teemischung aus schwarzem Tee. Ursprünglich bestand sie ausschließlich aus chinesischen Teesorten. Sie wird traditionell mit dem feinen, duftig-bitteren Öl der Bergamotte-Frucht leicht aromatisiert.

The 12c chancel & nave with externally carved north and south doorways, are almost untouched from the original foundation. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/2M0740 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/J848qG
However in 1832 new building work produced a western gallery, flic.kr/p/fj7KM vestry and new tower (inside the original nave walls), its west door a copy of the zig zag chancel arch. flic.kr/p/fj7qM This latter replaced a timber framed one.
The remains of the old west front, preserved in the vicarage grounds, show that it was shafted and arcaded in an elaborate manner. New tracery was also inserted in several windows, some of which had already been enlarged in 14c & 15c.
There are 5 bells: the treble dated 1746, the second 1739, and the third, fourth and fifth 1707.
Æthelswith wife of Burgred, King of Mercia, daughter of Æthelwulf, King of Wessex, is said to have granted Croome to the church of Worcester mid 9c This possibly included the 3 other manors of Earl's Croome, Croome D'Abitôt and Hill Croome, all possibly belonging to the manor of Ripple.
In 1377 Henry de Ardern was granted the manor then known as Croome Adam by the Earl of Warwick for the payment of a red rose.
The church seems to be always closed with very little contact information - for internal scenes, please see www.flickr.com/photos/ajk/albums/72157601169236988

A sunnier view of West Brompton station on the West London line with London Overground Class 378 No.378 220 making its scheduled stop with 2Y55 the 13:01 Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction service. This shot was taken from the recently extended platform, the new platform extension can be seen starting where the information display is. All platforms on the Overground are being extended to accommodate 5 coach 378's. The vista to the north of West Brompton station is soon to dramatically change with the imminent demolition of Earls Court Exhibition Centre which is making way for a new residential and shopping area.

St Mary, Earl Stonham, Suffolk
The Stonhams are a group of three parishes to the north of Needham Market along the Stowmarket to Yoxford road. The speed trap at the crossroads where this crosses the A120 through Stonham Parva seems to have caught just about everyone who uses that road regularly - just think of how many points it has put on East Anglian driving licences! But there are two other Stonhams. Stonham Aspal is further up the A1120 towards Framlingham, and is home to the famous Stonham Barns. But the least known of the three is Earl Stonham, despite the fact that it has one of the most interesting parish churches in the middle part of the county.
St Mary is that rare thing in East Anglia, a grand cruciform church with a clerestory but no aisles and a 15th century west tower, resting sedately in the middle of a large graveyard. It is such a handsome building that the grey cement rendering on the lower part of the nave seems unfortunate. As you walk up the long path towards the church, the overwhelming impression is of the beautiful clerestory above it picked out with flint flushwork. The great west door is original, its intricate patternwork weathered by the centuries. But you enter through the south door, via a simple porch.
You step into a long, narrow interior which can seem a bit gloomy on a dull day, but well cared for and neat and tidy. Still, with the lack of aisles, and the way that the clerestory makes the nave lighter above our heads than at eye level, the impulse is to look up, and see one of the best double hammerbeam roofs in East Anglia, and indeed in all England. It was once thought that the rich red colour was a result of it being made of chestnut, but in fact this roof is oak. The intricate carvings are warm and glorious. Alternate hammerbeams are false ones, for decoration, and these are the ones with the pendant pineapple decorations. Green men look down leeringly, while above them animals sport in the foliage of the spandrels.
The font sits grandly now that the space around it has been cleared. It is a slightly battered twin to that at nearby Creeting St Peter, and perhaps the recutting of the font there was based on this one. From here, the eye is led towards the crossing. Ahead, the chancel is slighter than the two transepts and Victorian in character, appearing to float, full of colour and light, above the nave.
Above the chancel arch are the remains of a doom painting. It shows the Last Judgement, with souls being measured, and then sent south to Hell or north to Heaven. The middle part of the painting is almost empty, suggesting that the rood went up this high. It would have been lit by the small quatrefoil window near the roof of the north transept, which now contains what appears to be a panel of continental glass depicting a cockerel and a crown of thorns, presumably once part of an Instruments of the Passion sequence.
On the west wall of the south transept is a painting, a scene from St George and the Dragon. It is unfortunately cut off by the organ, making it difficult to photograph, but the king standing on his castle tower to watch the saint defeat the dragon is very clear. Opposite, until the 1930s, it was still possible to discern what appeared to be the martyrdom of St Thomas of Canterbury. This is a rare subject in East Anglia. Another wall painting, in the south transept, showed the Nativity, and was probably part of a sequence like that at North Cove or Wissington. It has been whitewashed again, but a modern transcript of an 1870s copy is on display.
There are also medieval benches, and one opposite the door bears a dedicatory inscription: Orate pro [anima] Necolai Houk ('Pray for [the soul of] Nicolas Hook'). The pulpit here has a series of three egg-timers behind it, with which an 18th century preacher could keep tabs on the length of his sermon. Simon Jenkins says that they were intended to make sure he didn't cut it short, rather than to stop him going on too long. They time a quarter, half and three-quarters of an hour. Stepping up into the chancel, There's some good 19th century carving, but some medieval carvings too, four stall ends including a bagpiper, rather different from the same thing at Honington. The others are very damaged, but appear to be a woodcutter with an axe, a woodwose and a devil.
Back in 2000, when most churches had the pleasant luxury of deciding what their Millennium project should be, the parish here had rather more pressing concerns. The bell tower was beginning to separate from the back of the church, and so drastic renovation work was needed to both the tower and the bells themselves. As part of this project, the ringing chamber was lowered to be in full view of the congregation, a kitchen and toilet were added to the vestry area, and the medieval pews were moved to the north transept before the war memorial chapel to create a quiet area for contemplation.
Today, St Mary is an utterly lovely church which, despite its size, has a homely feel. Beneath the great roof, the light falls through ancient window tracery onto simple, devotional fittings. The deep silence of the wide graveyard fills the interior, a space which it is always a pleasure to visit, and to explore, and to just sit and be still in the presence of something beyond our everyday material existence.
The ruins of a palace whose construction was begun in 1607. The tyrannical Patrick, Earl of Orkney is alleged to have used forced labour. He did not live long to enjoy it, being executed for treason in 1615. The palace fell into ruin during the 18th century.

The Earl of Merioneth 0-4-4-0T, the first Double Fairlie built by the restored Ffestiniog Railway in 1979, and the only one of its kind to deviate from the classic design with the cuboid side tanks. She was converted to coal firing in 2006.
Earl of Merioneth is an 0-4-4-0 Double Fairlie and was the third locomotive to be built by the Festiniog Railway Company in its own workshops at Boston Lodge. Construction began in 1972 and was completed in 1979. It carries its name in English on one side and in Welsh (Iarll Meirionnydd) on the other. It was built as a replacement (incorporating some parts) for the previous Earl of Merioneth (originally Livingston Thompson).
From the moment of its introduction, Earl of Merioneth's angular appearance has provoked controversy and the locomotive is regularly referred to as The Square (or, by those who like it, The Mighty Square). Subsequent modifications have softened the appearance by adding a number of heritage style features and it is now a popular locomotive.
