Lasting Bonds of friendship
During their time together in the Crimea, Florence Nightingale and the Bermondsey Sisters developed deep bonds of mutual affection and friendship. On their return to England Florence and Mother Clare Moore remained in regular correspondence with each other. In a letter written shortly after their return to England Florence wrote to Mother Clare…
“ . . . What you have done for the work no one can ever say . . . My being above you was my misfortune, not my fault. My love and gratitude will be yours, dearest Reverend Mother wherever you go . . . I do not presume to give you any other tribute. The gratitude of the army is yours.”
Sisters Gonzaga Barrie and Stanislaus Jones also wrote to, and received letters from Miss Nightingale. Many of these letters are preserved in the archives of the Sisters of Mercy at their Bermondsey Heritage Centre and there is a large collection at the London Metropolitan Archives.
Florence Nightingale took great interest in the development of the Hospital, and the welfare of the Sisters. She was particularly supportive of the Sisters during the period when the Hospital was closed between 1866-1888, lobbying support on their behalf and sending gifts and supplies of food.

It’s December 2008. Only a few short months before, I had awakened from my long-lasting, first psychosis. I have just received a response to my request for the film academy to allow to graduate. Unfortunately, the current – and next – fourth year courses are fully booked, so there is no place for me (any more). When I was forced to terminate my studies at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 2006 (direction – fiction), they had expressed hope I would seek help. I refused for years, convinced that others were responsible for what was happening to me. Now I was receiving treatment from professionals at the Parnassia institute in The Hague, but it seemed like my career as a film-maker was doomed to failure.
Just before Christmas, my psychiatrist Wim Veling makes a proposal. The Parnasia First Pyschosis Centre was going to organise a national study day in May 2009. He suggests I might make a short documentary about having a first psychosis for the study day. I decide to discuss the proposal with my brother Robert, who graduated from the film academy with a degree in production. Why not use my own story for the documentary? The idea for the film ‘Lost Years’ was born. Production company JensenFrisbee was enthusiastic about producing the film.
Wim Veling and my social psychiatric nurse, Gertjan Meewis, were on board with the idea, and in the following months we started looking for funding. With an initial budget of 40,000 euros, that was going to take some time, so we gave up on trying to show the film during the study day. At the same time, I started writing a movie script. The basis for the screenplay was a letter I had sent my parents, telling them what I thought had happened to me in the past years.
In the late summer of 2009, we had only managed to raise half the necessary funds. At the time, we had the support of Stroom Den Haag, the Nuts Ohra Fund and Koningsheide Foundation. Five versions of the screenplay have been written. I want to create an authentic document of how I experienced my psychosis. This proved more difficult than expected. Additionally, the screenplay has grown from twenty to about fifty pages. Then we get some good news. Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is willing to finance the other half of the film. AstraZeneca also wants to show the film during the Netherlands Psychiatry Association’s spring conference on 14 April 2010.
Robert and I are happy, but – based on the version of the screenplay we have then – also a little worried. The project has grown from a simple docu-drama into a one-hour movie. We wonder if we shouldn’t look for additional financing first, a realistic option given the script. Shouldn’t we expand the project, turning it into a full-fledged 90 minute movie, and obtain proper funding? Because we are so enthusiastic about the project, we decide to go for it. We attempt to find additional funding, without any luck. I also make a final attempt at graduating from the film academy. Unfortunately, my idea to use the existing movie script and obtained funding to create a thesis film is not embraced by all.
Preproduction starts in late 2009. We have a movie script that is now seventy pages long, a forty thousand euro budget and a deadline on 14 April 2010. It turns into a guerrilla project, dependent on the goodwill of a large number of people. In subsequent months we assemble a fully-fledged crew, willing to work for peanuts, and a cast largely willing to act in return for a 10 euro expense fee.
After eight days of shooting, creating enough material for a 90 minute movie, three weeks of editing, and two and a half weeks of sound design, a 65 minute film is completed in early April 2010. On 14 April, ‘Lost Years’ premiered. From 15 April, it is available to view for free via www.lost-years.com.

SISTER STONES GIVE LASTING LEGACY TO HERITAGE PROJECT
A heritage project which uncovered fascinating facts about the history of Knowsley has left a permanent legacy with six ‘Sister Stones’ installed in towns across the borough.
The stone works, similar to the traditional crosses and milestones, have been inspired by local communities following a local history and heritage project that has been taking place in Knowsley.
The stones, situated in Kirkby, Prescot, Cronton, Knowsley Village, Halewood and Huyton, have been etched with words that describe each place, making reference to ancient history, important buildings, events and industries. The words were put together as the result of community workshops at which local people explored archive maps and photographs while reminiscing about local history.
The Sister Stones will now be used for generations to come as an educational tool and a talking point for those interested in the heritage of their local area, or by visitors.
Over the past three years, the Conservation Skills and Interpretation Project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, has seen hundreds of Knowsley people take part in workshops to discover more about the rich history of their local area. Fascinating facts were uncovered by local history hunters, including the ancient custom of ‘perrying’ in Prescot. This would see coins, collected as fines, heated in a fire and thrown from the town hall to a gathered crowd of children once a year.
As well as learning about the borough’s history, the project placed an emphasis on traditional heritage skills. Almost 70 construction apprentices from Knowsley Community College were trained with the skills needed to restore and renovate historic buildings and repair old materials, while heritage related career options were explained to students aged 14-16 in the borough.
Primary school children were also encouraged to learn about caring for old buildings and some of the interesting history of their local area, while hundreds of residents enjoyed a series of heritage walks in various locations across the borough, led by guides in traditional costume, or took part in have-a-go workshops at public events.
The six Sister Stones are now in place at the following locations in Knowsley:
Kirkby – in the vicinity of the cross in St Chad’s Gardens
Prescot – In grassed area opposite St Mary’s Church and Deane House
Cronton – in grassed area in the vicinity of the Stocks
Knowsley Village – within landscaped area in grounds of maintained homes on Knowsley Lane
Halewood – in grassed area at front of shops on the corner of Church Road and Hollies Road
Huyton – Set in grass in the vicinity of Cross in conservation area at Stanley Road and Blue Bell Lane.

The cobblestone streets of San Miguel are treacherous, and sprained ankles are not uncommon for tourists. However, this couple has obviously learned to work together and managed quite well... it was wonderful to witness their trust and touching partnership.

German actressBruni Löbel ( 1920-2006) was briefly a leading lady in Ufa films and later appeared in three American productions. She achieved lasting popularity on TV as 'Oma' Herta in the long-running soap opera Forsthaus Falkenau (1989-2006).
Bruni Löbel was born Brunhilde Melitta Löbel in Chemnitz, Germany, in 1920. She was the daughter of Richard Löbel and his wife Melitta, née Goldammer. She had three older brothers and two younger sisters (Ruth and Margot). Her youngest sister Margot Leonard (1927-2014) was later a sought-after dubbing actress during her active years and was the standard German voice of Marilyn Monroe. Bruni failed the entrance exam to drama school. However, this did not deter her from her desire to become an actress. In 1935, Löbel made her stage debut at the Chemnitz municipal theatre in 'The Imaginary Invalid' by Molière. She took private acting lessons with Sonja Karzau, who was engaged by Otto Falckenberg at the Munich Kammerspiele in 1938. Bruni Löbel was determined to follow her, but her parents forbade the 17-year-old to move to the big city and locked her in her room on the mezzanine floor. But the daughter would not be stopped. She climbed out of the window, lowered her packed suitcase with a bungee cord, travelled to Munich and never returned. She initially worked as a secretary. But two years later, when Bruni Löbel was just 19 years old, she received an offer from Ufa for a role alongside Hansi Knoteck and Wolf Albach-Retty in the Operetta film Heimatland/Homeland (Ernst Martin, 1939). From this point on, she played both film and theatre roles, for example at the Marburg Festival with the still-unknown Gert Fröbe in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Bruni Löbel signed her first contract with Ufa on 1 January 1940. After a short time in the Reich Labour Service, she returned to Berlin and played her second film role in the youth Propaganda film Jungens/Boys (Robert Adolf Stemmle, 1941) with Albert Hehn. After outdoor filming on the Curonian Spit and studio filming in Berlin, she then appeared in 'Hänsel und Gretel' in Potsdam until Horst van Diemen accepted her into the Ufa troupe that was first in East Prussia and then in Italy for four weeks as part of the Wehrmacht support programme. After a short stay in Berlin, she visited the Ufa troupe in Romania, which gave performances in German Wehrmacht camps and barracks for over three weeks. With Paul Klinger and Paul Wegener at her side, Bruni Löbel made her breakthrough in the film drama Wenn die Sonne wieder scheint/When the Sun Shines Again (Boleslaw Barlog, 1943), an adaptation of the Belgian novel 'De Vlaschaard' by Stijn Streuvels. In 1944, she was on the 'Gottbegnadeten-Liste' (List of Godsent) by the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda.
After the war, Bruni Löbel went on tour with Margot Hielscher and Heinz Rühmann through several German cities and theatres and made 600 theatrical appearances. When the film industry recovered from the effects of the war, Löbel also got offers for film roles again. From the 1950s onwards, Bruni Löbel appeared in more than 40 film roles. She again played alongside Paul Klinger, this time in the film comedy Die Nacht ohne Sünde/The Night Without Sin (Karl Georg Külb, 1950), in which she played the female lead. She made three loosely connected films under the direction of Ákos Ráthonyi, which were also released in Germany under the titles Paulchen und die Mädchenschule/Absender unbekannt/Unknown Sender (1950), Paulchen setzt sich durch/Mädchen mit Beziehungen/Girls with relationships (1950) and Paulchen und die Millionenerbschaft/Engel im Abendkleid/Angel in Evening Dress (1951). In these films, Bruni Löbel played the schoolgirl Magda Lehmann alias Paulchen opposite Henny Porten, Cornell Borchers, Rudolf Prack and Willy Fritsch. She acted in three American films, the semi-documentary film drama The Big Lift (George Seaton, 1950) with Montgomery Clift, Special Delivery (John Brahm, 1955) with Joseph Cotten and Eva Bartok, and the Walt Disney production comedy drama Almost Angels (Steve Previn, 1962) about a group of boys in the Vienna Boys' Choir. In 1958, she stayed in Munich and performed mainly at the Kleine Komödie, the Munich Kammerspiele and the Residenztheater. She also appeared on stage in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Vienna. Löbel became increasingly in demand as a television actress and was given leading roles in television plays and series. She was regarded as an almost ideal portrayer of the resolutely amiable type of woman. Löbel was first given mother and later grandmother roles. From 1977 to 1988, she played ‘mum’ Elisabeth Schöninger alongside Walter Sedlmayr and Elmar Wepper in the popular TV series Polizeiinspektion 1/Police Station 1 and gained further popularity in the role of the prickly housekeeper Frau Rabe in the series Ich heirate eine Familie/I am marrying a family (Peter Weck, 1983-1986). Children and young people also know her in the role of her sister Agatha in the TV film adaptation of James Krüss' young people's book 'Timm Thaler' (1962), Timm Thaler/The Legend of Tim Tyler (Sigi Rothemund, 1979). She took on guest roles in other television series, such as Um Himmels Willen/For Heaven's Sake (2002-2004) with Fritz Wepper. From 1989, Löbel played the role of grandmother Herta in the family series Forsthaus Falkenau/Ranger Station Falkenau (1989-2006) with Christian Wolff and Hardy Krüger Jr. Both the role and series were a great success and she played this character regularly until the year of her death. But she also remained loyal to the theatre stage. In 2003, she played Aunt Abby in 'Arsen und Spitzenhäubchen' (Arsenic and Old Lace) at the Komödie im Bayrischen Hof in Munich. She played her last role in the ARD telenovela Sturm der Liebe/Storm of Love (2006) as Almuth Freifrau von Thalheim. Bruni Löbel was married twice. Her son Felix Bronner from her first marriage to the cabaret artist Gerhard Bronner, with whom she was married from 1955 until their divorce in 1959, was a freelance pianist and piano teacher. She was married to the actor and dubbing artist Holger Hagen from 1971 until he died in 1996 and also appeared with him in several television programmes, including Traumschiff. Bruni Löbel died in Mühldorf am Inn, Germany, in 2005. She was 85. Löbel is buried in Rattenkirchen, in the district of Ramering in the Mühldorf am Inn district, in an urn grave next to Holger Hagen's farm.

Parcevall Hall Gardens are a lasting testament to the remarkable insight of Sir William Milner (1893-1960), 8th Baronet of Nun Appleton, nr York; who in 1927 began on a project to rebuild the derelict 16th /early 17th century shell of Parcevall Hall at Skyreholme, near Appletreewick in North Yorkshire.
Sir William, although standing at a formidable 6’7”, had the reputation of being a gentle giant and despite his title, and having HRH Queen Mary, a frequent visitor to Parcevall Hall, as his Godmother, he was a reluctant socialite.
The final major project of Sir William’s lifetime was as a founder member and second Honorary Director of the Northern Horticultural Society (1955-60), pioneering the establishment and development of Harlow Carr Gardens, near Harrogate.
Once completed, the Hall was to become Sir William’s home for thirty years and he continued to develop the gardens up to his death. Sir William took full advantage of the geography to create a unique garden that provides year round interest.
As a gardener Sir William chose his site wisely. At the top of the gardens the alkaline soil overlays the limestone rock and at the foot of the hill the soil is acid over gritstone, which makes it ideal for a wide range of species and many of Sir William’s hybrid rhododendrons.
For the horticulturist an extensive range of specialist plants flourish throughout the year. This includes an interesting collection of old apple varieties. A wide variety of alpine and woodland plants, unusual perennials and many specimen trees and shrubs.
Visitors will find formal terraces provide vantage points from where they can pause to appreciate the stunning rocky outcrop of Simons Seat
The structured areas are balanced with woodlands that are a haven for wildlife, inter-linked with many garden rooms to discover on the way. For the energetic, a Cliff Walk overlooking the limestone valley of Trollers Gill provides a dramatic vista.
After Sir William’s death the gardens declined up to the mid 1980s. A restoration program commenced; forever changing the gardens are enjoying a vibrant renaissance having been returned to its former glory
But the work does not stop there, the gardens continue to evolve.
The Hall itself is not open to garden visitors and since 1963, has been used by the Bradford Diocese as a retreat house and conference centre; its architectural features can be appreciated at close range from several vantage points.
A lasting reminder of the importance of educational institutions in the heart of rural East Texas, Post Oak School held its first classes in September 1892 on this site, on property then owned by Stephen Box. It served African-American students in the community and the surrounding area for more than 60 years.
Built adjacent to the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, the first Post Oak school building contained the principal's office, a book room, seven classrooms and a kitchen. In 1939, a well-equipped vocational building was completed to house the homemaking and agricultural departments. Students came from as far away as eight miles to attend the ten grades of school offered here.
Along with the church, Post Oak School served as a focal point for the community, providing both educational and cultural activities for its neighbors. Opportunities to participate in athletics, drama, music, dance and other social events made the school a vital part of community life. The students often won district championships in various interscholastic league competitions.
After World War II, a declining population in the rural area resulted in partial consolidation of Post Oak School with neighboring schools in Lovelady and Crockett. Post Oak closed completely in 1955, but its history remains an important part of the educational record in Houston County. (2002) (Marker No. 12808)

A month ago I took photos of the Giant Hogweed at Woolston Eyes, Warrington. Back then the plants were in full bloom - now they have gone over but still produce interesting and architectural pictures.
Heracleum mantegazzianum, commonly known as giant hogweed, cartwheel-flower, wild parsnip, wild rhubarb, giant cow parsnip, or giant cow parsley, is a plant in the family Apiaceae. It typically grows to heights of 2–5 m (6 ft 7 in–16 ft 5 in), sometimes reaching 7 m (23 ft). Except for size, it closely resembles common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Heracleum sosnowskyi or garden angelica (Angelica archangelica). It is phototoxic and considered to be a noxious weed in many jurisdictions. Giant hogweed is native to the Caucasus Region and Central Asia. It was introduced to Britain as an ornamental in the 19th century, and it has also spread to Finland, Germany, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Latvia, the United States and Canada.
The sap of giant hogweed causes phytophotodermatitis in humans, resulting in blisters, long-lasting scars, and—if it comes in contact with eyes—blindness. These serious reactions are due to the furocoumarin derivatives in the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds of the plant.
Woolston Eyes is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located in the town of Warrington, England, alongside the Manchester Ship Canal. The eyes themselves are used for the dumping of dredgings from the canal.
The Woolston Eyes Conservation Group manages the site as a nature reserve with access by permit only.
