Down at the lowest part of the wood, the pool is a constant - here for a while, the water rests on its endless journey.

Nether Winchendon House in Buckinghamshire, England was opened for the National Gardens Scheme. The house's architecture has had many additions but the most prominent features are Elizabethan and 'Strawberry Hill' Gothic.
The 15th century chapel of St John the Baptist at Nether Exe is Grade I Listed. There are still services here, albeit infrequently. Access is via a field and there used to be a manor house close by. At Nether Exe I saw two birds of prey, many squirrel young and pheasants - and you can hear a pin drop.

After the Bootle shot it was a Wednesday whizz north for the next two targets.
Both were timed to pass at St. Bees so I headed for Nethertown where sun orientation would hopefully provide the optimum results as there would be no time to relocate between workings.
First to arrive was the 6C46 Sellafield - Kingmoor headed by the last remaining 200ers 37259 & 37218.
The 2 FNAs were destined for Torness the following day.
All Saints church and the 17th century Manor House
All Saints Church is a Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust since 1973. The church and adjacent manor house are built from bands of flint and stone. Most of the church dates from the 13th century built on the site of an older church, although the tower and porch were added in the 15th..
Deciding to take the slightly slower route home from work tonight I decided to see if I could catch the old mill whilst some snow still lay around. I was hoping for a little natural light from the moon but it stayed obscured behind a wall of cloud. But as I came upon the mill around a bend in the road I saw the door was ajar and lights were on inside. Venturing closer I found three mill craftsmen just packing their tools away and they were friendly enough to invite me in for a quick look around. They've been hard at work restoring the two mill wheels (which are fed by a pond behind the mill), the gearing and drive shafts, the grinding stones and sack lifts. It was a quick tour but my sneak preview made me realise what a popular National Trust attraction this will be in a few months time once they have some millers trained up to work the mill for live demonstrations to visitors.
Nether Alderley Mill has been quite literally at the heart of the Nether Alderley community since the 14th century.
Now looked after by the National Trust, in the past the mill provided the crucial flour-grinding service that kept the whole of Nether Alderley fed, from the lord of the manor (the Stanley family from the 16th century) to the local agricultural community. Because of this, the miller was a man of substance, his status in the village community equivalent to that of a prosperous farmer.
The earliest mention of the mill dates back to 1391, although little is known of this early building and no trace of the machinery survives. The lower half of the present mill dates to the 16th century, about the time it became the manorial mill of the Stanley family, and was built using local red sandstone, with the upper half being added later in the mid-18th century. Its sweeping slate roof, visible from the road, weighs almost 200 tons and inside it is supported by an oak frame.
Aside from its historical status as a centre for the community, Nether Alderley Mill is also a unique example of a triple overshot waterwheel system (of which two wheels still remain in working condition). The present mill machinery dates from the 19th century onwards, as the original milling equipment would have been made from fruit wood and has long since deteriorated.
With the Repeal of the Corn Laws, and later with the introduction of steam power and cheap transport, the trade in milling flour sadly declined. Shortly after 1939, the machinery at Nether Alderley had become so derelict that it could no longer be worked and the mill remained empty and unusable until, after the Second World War, the owner, Mr J.A. Shelmerdine, presented the mill to the National Trust.
The mill is currently nearing a lengthy restoration and is due to open to the public once more in March/April 2013.
Woodhow tarn, a private tarn, hence a view over the wall,belonging to the farm of the same name.in Nether Wasdale
A brief incursion over the Leicestershire border brought us to Nether Broughton and its attractive ironstone church of St Mary. We were of course too late to see inside (though it probably wouldn't have been open anyway being in a different and less visitor-friendly diocese) but did explore it externally at least.
The stonework is quite dramatically eroded in places, particularly on the tower (where the pale limestone decorative elements and parapet are holding up well while the honey-coloured ironstone appears to be significantly less hardy). The windows of the church appears to be glazed entirely with plain textured glass.

'Twas a bit quiet start o' t' week.
Monday and Tuesday were without an evening 6C46 Sellafield - Kingmoor and I was beginning to fear a nuclear hiatus.
Particularly galling as it has a VAR path in for every day this week timed past my front door at 18.46, as opposed to the WTT 20.25, and had it run on Monday would've been overseen by a cloudless sky.
A Tuesday run would've meant a flask or two for a Wednesday Seaton move but that wasn't to be.
Or so I thought.
Wednesday morning saw an 0E44 Kingmoor - Seaton hit the system so that meant an afternoon westbound load for Sellafield.
With a VAR 6C46 aso in the system for the afternoon I decided on a trip to Nethertown after work as, according to Auntie Beeb's forecast, that would be where the sun would be.
If running to time the trains should pass there within 45 minutes or so of each other so what was not to like?
I checked the progress of 6M60 before I left home to make sure it had reached the metals of the old Maryport & Carlisle, as opposed to a detour to Kingmoor, because I didn't want egg on my face again following a recent cock-up.
All was well and I had one last check before I headed down below the cliff to Nethertown station as it's a 3G black hole down there.
Bang on time Nos.37606 & 37602 head the lone FNA of 6M60 past Coulderton with St. Bees Head beyond.

Arabbers Stable on Fremont Ave. West Baltimore. For Gaia's project to paint the westside stable. Piece is of a hand holding a Arabber's wagon permit pendant, which are still pressed and made. The date on the pendant is the date the Arabber Preservation Society was established
Arabbing as a practice began in the 19th century in Baltimore when easy access to stables and the shipyards of the inner harbor made selling fruit with horse drawn carriages an attainable entrepreneurial enterprise for African Americans in Baltimore. During the war effort and after WWII arabbing became an almost entirely African American trade. Competition from supermarkets and restrictions from modern zoning laws have endangered this heritage. Today there are only a couple sites left that serve as arabbing stables, with the Fremont Avenue location being one of the most prominent in the city. Today, arabbing serves as a viable living for a handful of men and their families whilst also serving a variety of communities including neighborhoods that do not have easy access to produce and whole foods.
The standing stones of Nether Largie are aligned approximately north-east-south-west, about 250 m south-east of the stone circles of Temple Wood. They form an X.
They may have once formed an avenue - todayt hey consist mainly of four groups. At the ends of the stone rows there is a pair of stones, with groups of four and five stones (up to 2.85m in height) in between. A single standing stone is located 100 m north-west of the row.
The stones may have been erected about 3200 years ago. Three of them carry cupmarks. Such cup and ring carvings are thought to date back to a period 1,500 years earlier still.
Always like to stop and make a few photographs if im passing here . Nether North Grain can be found along "The Snake Pass" in the peak district .
