It is not often in our virtual world when you meet a person who, despite meeting you for the very first-time steps in and helps you out with absolutely no expectation in return. The help on this very first occasion was not a simple gesture of help, but something that then turned into a massive effort on her part.
I met such a person who I am so grateful to call a friend – her name is Faith Fromund from Faith Fashions, an aspiring talented designer who has the most fantastic range of vintage clothing, Halloween outfits just to name a few!
Be sure to take a walk around the sim to the different themes as this is where you will find more of Faith’s designs. Faith sells shout cast streams as well, she has karoke on her sim.
Since that first meeting, Faith and I have become close and someone I consider to be a very good friend.
Some months ago, I was preparing for a special event – 1950’s event, the sim all decked out and for the first time felt I could actually do something constructive for Faith – what better way than to have Faith set up a stall for the 50’s event and promote her fantastic products. Not only did she spend hours putting her stand together, creating new designs but started sending the featured artist and myself some of her 1950’s designs to make sure we had ‘plenty of options’ for our outfits. Some of Faith’s designs have been featured in my photo’s – e.g. The Pink Ladies. She was so excited about the event and the opportunity to show off her designs – as was I. We were both really looking forward to this event.
She worked around the clock creating outfits for both men and women for this special event. The outfits are so detailed and come with accessories, shoes, bobby socks – so much work into each outfit.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable to proceed with the event and the sim will be closing within days. It has not been possible for me to be online much in recent months, and I am no longer able to sustain the sim. I can live with that, it is all okay, what is not okay for me is the fact I feel as if I have let down a very special lady. She made absolutely no fuss over it at all and immediately offered her sim for the event, then went on to insist that I have a place to stay on her sim as did my other dear friend Aimee when I am online.
This act of kindness once again by Faith is so typical of her. Unfortunately, due to my situation RL it was not even possible for me to be online to follow up with her generosity of spirit. I am deeply saddened for Faith, not for me, and truly feel like I have let her down so for this reason I want to pay this honor to her in this post and hope that in some small way it touches her heart, and she realizes how much I value, respect, and love her for who she is.
This lady has continued to just give of herself, never wanting anything in return. Her kindness and ability to give without expectations in return is such an admirable trait and I thank her for this from the bottom of my heart.
Please if you can, take the time to check out Faith’s Fashions at her sim.
p.s. I captured this photo and caught her poking her tongue out – too cute, just like Faith ♥

Ожидание
For 30 years, in this window, my mother always met and saw me off. And now there is no one waiting for me ..... and the window is empty.
30 лет, в этом окне моя мама всегда встречала и провожала меня. А теперь там никто меня не ждёт.....и в окне пусто.
Yes, another image from Woolacombe - I used the morning to try and capture as many scenes/situations as possible - this was another one with a couple and their dogs enjoying the space - here, the dogs are sitting to attention awaiting a treat.
The gear is at rest, and for some people it does not mean that it is time to forget what happens outside, but it's time to keep the springs armed to propel us in the right direction.
An expectation of the show is much better than a performance sometimes. The light around the bend wakes your imagination up.
The morning of the first day again.
Thank you for the support, my friends.
Anticipation – Expectation – Realisation
From wondering dreaming and falsely seeing dog biscuit as big as can be big to realising it is just another senseless human thing to utilisation sudden revelation of a new found bed place for activation as a sleep space.

Anticipation
~Ellis Parker Butler~
I hold her letter as I stand,
Nor break the seal; no need to guess
What dainty little female hand
Penned this most delicate address.
The scented seal—I break it not,
But stand in stormy revery;
I tremble as I wonder what
She who penned this will say to me.
I wonder what my wife will say
If so it be she e’er shall know
I only mailed her note today—
It should have gone two weeks ago!

Aus der Nierentischepoche stammt der Soester Kleinbahnhof, der gottlob nicht abgerissen, sondern unter einem wettersicheren Dach der Nachwelt erhalten wurde. Die Geschichte der Kleinbahn gib es hier.
Soest narrow gauge train station dates back to the German "kidney table era" in the 1950s and, thankfully, wasn't demolished but preserved for posterity under a weatherproof roof.

I remember being a child waiting for the storm to come. I haven't grown out of it either. So pleased I managed to capture the expectation on camera for this brother and sister.

The crocuses stand in all their glory, trembling on their delicate stalks, but, it’s fantastic to see them, at last some splashes of colours in the grass.
In some areas there are whole carpets of them, fills me with hopeful expectation of all the things to come, the beauty to absorb and of course eternalise…
AND, SURVIVOR...CROCUS
I saw them in the grass, probably trampled by dogs or children.
Picked it up carefully and brought it home... to photograph...
I had to hurry because they are iconic out-door flowers! Love the cold and NOT warmth!
It opened up nicely one last time in all its purple and orange glory.
Another one of my rescues.
Have a beautiful day and thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

To explain the title, we had lunch at the Botanic Gardens today and were joined by this very hopeful duck.
Cathja
The Cathja is a fully converted and fully mobile 38 metre Dutch Barge. Situated on an idyllic Thames mooring in Old Isleworth, the barge provides space for people who have experienced mental health problems to explore their creativity in a safe and supported environment.
Users determine their own frequency and duration of their involvement. There is no expectation to 'produce' so objects created are not judged, analysed or sold. The creation of objects, whether utilitarian or 'artistic', is an inherently healing and restorative process.
The Cathja service has achieved outstanding results in enabling people to grow away from the dependent, patient role.
The Cathja barge history:
The Cathja is a 38 metre Dutch Barge. She was probably built in the 1930s and her working life would have been on the canals and rivers of Europe. She is not a sea going vessel although many of the inland seas in Holland are such that she had to be able to negotiate rougher conditions than the barges that traded on English canals.
Cathja would have been operated as a family business with a husband and wife team, possibly with their children, leading a somewhat itinerant life. It is likely that the name Cathja is derived from a combination of the names of the skipper and his wife. Living accommodation was minimal and restricted to the back cabin so that the maximum area was given over to the hold for carrying cargo. The sorts of cargo carried would have included grain, fertiliser, coffee beans etc.
The back cabin remains with many original features and currently provides the office space for the charity. The wheel house is a more recent addition and is the 'tea room' for the activity. As the barge is fully mobile, the tea room also accommodates the ship's wheel and all the instrumentation. The wheelhouse is collapsible in order to negotiate the low bridges that are often found on the smaller waterways.
After being 'decommissioned' the Cathja had several short term owners, including a British gentleman who intended to convert her for use as a floating restaurant. This last project foundered as Cathja was damaged by rough seas in the Channel and was rescued and brought to a mooring on the Thames where she lay largely uncared for. She was purchased in an almost derelict state by the charity in 1996.
A mooring was found for her in Isleworth, being the historic wharf where coastal trade took place. The original crane used for unloading still stands as a monument to this phase of the area's history
* All Saints' Church is the oldest parish church in Isleworth in the London Borough of Hounslow in south-west London.
Its 14th-century Kentish ragstone tower and foundations are the only pre–20th-century parts to survive.[1] It faces the Thames before Church Street skirts away from the river to pass Syon Park. The parish itself is pre-Norman. A vicar replacing its rector is recorded in 1290 in records associated with Syon Abbey who gave his family £2 and a new robe each year and daily meat and drink at the upper table in the abbey hall, while his servant was to be fed at the grooms' table. The patron of the church became the trustees of St George's Chapel, Windsor, due to the dissolution of the monasteries.[2] By the end of the 17th century, Sir Christopher Wren was approached to draw plans for a new body of a much-dilapidated building. His project was deemed too expensive until 1705, when Sir Orlando Gee (MP), of Syon Hill in the parish, left £500 towards the work in his will; he is commemorated in a marble monument by Francis Bird.[3] This sum, combined with funds raised through subscriptions, ensured that the work took place (with modifications) in 1705–1706.
