I’ve been in tall buildings before, but the glass and mirror box at Summit is an experience you have to try out. I recommend timing the visit to sunset even if the tickets are bit more expensive.
Sometimes you have to choose an easier destination. Today was that day. Of all the Murramarang beaches, this one has the closest and easiest road access. None of this detracts from the expansive view of earth, sea and sky. Instead of taking the easy option of brain off, ooh, ahh – work a bit harder. That bird call? It was a New Holland Honeyeater. That damp gully draining down off the headland? It's carpeted with Tetragonia, the New Zealand "spinach" now bizarrely called "Warrigal greens". In the Darug language warrigal means "wild dog". Then in the cooler damp of these drainage lines: this impossibly blue flower.
One of the informal names has been adopted by analogy from the exotic Tradescantia which has a similar growth habit. It was taken from the folklore of a pre-Christian Middle Eastern religious sect renowned for their travels. In these unhinged PC times of perpetual outrage looking for a cause that name has transmogrified into wandering dew. Be careful one is toxic. This blue one, unrelated to Tradescantia, is wholesome and beneficial. It also got the name of scurvy weed from early settlers who harvested it as a source of vitamin C.
Behold Commelina cyanea; impossibly blue.
This was possibly one of the best days of our travels in Laos. The Muang La Resort also organises trips and we went, with a guide, trekking in the jungle and visited another hill tribe, the Khamu.
The scenery was stunning and we arrived at the Khamu village after about an hour and a half. The contrast between the Khamu village and the Akhar village we had seen two days earlier were marked. Although they both consisted of wooden houses built on stilts, the Khamu village was far better tended. There was no litter, the pigs were fenced off away from the houses and the people were friendly and welcoming. Bethan played with some of the local children.
We left the village to walk to a nearby waterfall for lunch and two of the girls, fascinated by Bethan, asked if they could come too. We spent a very happy couple of hours at a beautiful waterfall in the jungle. Bethan played with the little girls and John and I just sat and relaxed in the sunshine in the idyllic surroundings.
Our guide was from a Khamu family and was very knowledgeable and helpful. When we finished lunch we wandered back to the village just in time for the little girls to attend afternoon school. Our last glimpse of them was them waving to us as they ran to their classes.

"Whether you're visiting for a day out, coming to see one of our great events or looking for something special, we look forward to surprising you".
About a mile of covered shopping and just across the road from the railway station as I discovered yesterday when I popped down to Basingstoke for an Irish set dancing workshop and Ceili.
I also enjoyed exploring some of the remnants of the old town which are still standing.
One of the joys about the Kent Church Project, as I calls it, is that you never really know what you'll find when you arrive.
What the church or the village or the surroundings will be like.
Sometimes you find little more than a barn, sometimes something akin to a cathedral. And all between.
Benenden is one of a score of towns and villages ending with "den", that is causing me much confusion as to which ones I have and have not visited.
That's why I keep the little black book of course.
West Kent takes some effort to get to from Chez Jelltex, having to either go through Ashford or Maidstone, terrible traffic whichever way you look at it.
But once there, the effort is always worth it, long leafy lanes, little villages with timber-framed houses, pubs and churches.
Yes, it was a good idea to come here.
Benenden is now a moneyed town, full of grand houses, all set in well manicured gardens, and apparently set around a public (private) school.
The church is set at the top end of one of the largest village greens imaginable, so large it has a cricket pitch on it. Around the road that rings it, more mansions. And the church at the top, Half a dozen cars parked outside suggested it might be open. Today was the great churchyard tidy up, but the church was open, and the wardens were having a tea break, and the cool interior was full of light and laughter.
One of the wardens approached me: what do you think of our church?
I like it.
Should we replace the oak door with a glass one?
Well, I saw one at Wye and it lets light it.
Does it make it welcoming?
I guess so.
Could you write a critique and send it to the vicar?
Well, I am non-judgemental. You, the people who use it have to decide what you want, as you have to live and worship here. Most changes can be undone if needed.
She seemed happy enough with that.

What better setting could there be than at the southern end of a village green complete with cricket? The north front of Benenden church broods over its village and one doesn't really recognise just how large it is until one gets inside. Then a majestic and well-cared for building comes to view. Wide and light and all Perpendicular - mostly due to the nineteenth century architect David Brandon who remodelled the medieval building which had in turn been badly damaged in a seventeenth century fire. The reredos is a flamboyant piece of 19th century design, part of a tiled scheme which covers the entire east wall. There is a very good range of stained glass, including several figures of St George to whom the church is dedicated.

BENENDEN
IS situated the next parish northward from Hawkhurst. That part of it which is in the borough of Benenden, is in the hundred of Rolvenden; as much of it as is in either of the boroughts of Hevenden, or Ibornden, is in the hundred of Barkley; as much as is in the North Borough, is in the hundred of Selbrittenden; and as much as is in the borough of Crothall, is in the hundred of Cranbrooke. The liberty of the court of the bailiwic of the seven Hundreds claims over this parish.
THE PARISH is in extent from east to west about seven miles, and about four the other way, is situated mostly on high ground, much more so than most of the adjoining country, which consequently makes it more pleasant, as much so as the generality of the soil and roads will allow of. It has of late years had the improvement of a turnpike road, which leads through it from Cranbrooke towards Rolvenden and Tenterden; before which, the roads were so deep in winter, as they still continue, excepting the above road, that within these fifty years Sir John Norris, whilst he resided at Hemsted, was forced to have his coach drawn to church in the common waggon track, by six oxen, one before the other, as the only means of conveyance to it. The soil is mostly is stiff clay, having plenty of marle at different parts throughout it, and in some parts sand. The northern boundaries of it are much covered with coppice woods; in this part is Hemsted, situated on very high ground, exceedingly pleasant, and commanding an extensive prospect over the neighbouring country; it stands in the midst of a paddock, or park-like ground, well planted with avenues of trees; the house has been lately altered and modernized, and the moat round it filled up; the two wings have been pulled down, the right one, which seems to have been the gate-house to the more antient mansion, was of the time of queen Elizabeth; among the rubbish of it was found a silver coin of that reign, anno 1575. It was built of brick, and has two handsome octagon towers, of a grand and stately appearance; the left wing, by the remaining form of a large circular window, seemed to have been the domestic chapel of the mansion, the centre remaining, is a sashed modern building. At a place in the park, called the Merry Tree, the ground is reputed to be the highest in all the Weald of Kent; westward of Hemsted there rises a small streamlet, which runs on from hence towards Rolvenden, and at a small distance eastward, near it, is the hamlet of Walkhurst. The village of Benenden is situated likewise on high ground, nearly in the centre of the parish, and is built on each side of the beforementioned road.
¶At a small distance southward from it is the church and the vicarage; adjoining to the latter is a large green, called the Playstool, formerly used as a bowlinggreen by the neighbouring gentry, who within memory used frequently to resort to it, and at whose expence it was kept in order. In the southern part of this parish, near the hamlet of Iden-green, is Framefarm, formerly the property of Edward Alexander, esq. of Bedford row, who married Levina, daughter of Sir Levinus Bennet, and their grandson Richard Henry Alexander Bennet, passed it away by sale, for which an act passed in 1764, to Sarah, viscountess Falkland, who in 1776 devised it by will to her husband Lucius, viscount Falkland, for life, with remainder to Francis Motley Austen, esq. now of Sevenoake, who purchased lord Falkland's interest in it, and is the present owner of it.
The church, which is dedicated to St. George, consists of three isles and a chancel, having a tower steeple at the west end, with a beacon turret at the south-east corner of it.
This church was ruined by a storm of thunder and lightning, on Dec. 29, 1672. It was rebuilt and finished in 1673. The present steeple was built in 1715. It stood before apart on the north side of the church, at a small distance from it; being built with stone at the bottom, and the upper part with wood of curious workmanship, having a lofty spire on the top of it. In the high chancel, against the north wall, is a monument, with the bust in white marble, made by Sheemaker, of Sir John Norris. In the north isle a memorial for dame Mary, relict of Sir Edmund Fortescue, of Bragnam, obt. 1693, and for Edward Guldeford, esq. of Hemsted, obt. 1678, and Anne his wife, obt. 1710. In the south isle a memorial for Edmund Gibbon, esq. of this parish. Walter More, lord of the manor of Benenden, by will in 1504, ordered his body to be buried in our lady's chapel, in this church, and gave 3l. 6s. 8d. to buy a chalice of silver, and gilt, to be used at our lady's altar there, and that a yearly obit be kept in this church by him who should have the lordship of Benenden.
¶The church of Benenden was part of the possessions of the priory of Combwell, in the neighbouring parish of Goudhurst, to which it was appropriated before the reign of Richard II. In which state the appropriation, together with the advowson of the vicarage, continued till the suppression of it in the reign of Henry VIII. when they both passed into the hands of the crown, where they remained till the 34th year of that reign, when the king granted this rectory and advowson to Sir John Gage, to hold in capite by knight's service, who passed them away to Sir Thomas Guldeford, in whose descendants they continued, in like manner as Hemsted above-described, till they passed by sale with that manor to Thomas Hallet Hodges, esq. of Hemsted, the present proprietor of them.
The vicarage is a discharged living, of the clear yearly certified value of forty pounds, in the king's books, the yearly tenths of which are 2l. 15s. 3d. In 1640 it was valued at ninety pounds, and there were then communicants here five hundred. The vicarage is now about fifty pounds per annum value.

I'm a bit off and on with Flickr at the moment but will catch up soon.
Same sunset as the last one, just a different angle. This is one of the very few times I have appreciated the digital viewfinder on my camera, that would have been brutal through and analog viewfinder.....

another tiny 3 x 5. done for a cropping project. i know there are shoes in the top left corner, but the crpped version print is very noticeably imperfect, with watermarks and scratches, so i'm not putting it up.
the watermarks and scratches on the hair are bugging me.
the model is my sister.
One singular sensation, every little step she takes
One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who
One moment in her presence and you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Oh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention she's the one
She walks into a room and you know she's
uncommonly rare, very unique
peripatetic, poetic and chic
She walks into a room and you know from her
maddening poise, effortless whirl
(One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
She's a special girl)
