Energy bar, string backpack, sweatpants and the look of exhaustion. If I had to guess, I’d say these ladies just finished up a bout at the gym. It also helps my case that this picture was taken near a gym.

History
The earliest known date for Smarden is 1205, when Adam de Essex became the Rector of the parish. The area was covered by the forest of Anderida and when clearings were made, the River Beult (a tributary of the River Medway) formed the drainage channel. The local woollen industry was encouraged by King Edward III who brought weaver craftsmen over from Flanders to create what was to become one of England's biggest industries. Edward in recognition granted the village a Royal Charter in 1333 permitting them to hold a weekly market and an annual fair thus elevating the status from village to "Town". Elizabeth I, en route from Sissinghurst Castle to Boughton Malherbe in 1576, was so impressed by what she saw and ratified the previously granted Charter. A copy of the Charter hangs in the village church.

I'm proud to present the Emiliacouture Spring 2021 ready to wear capsule collection: "Post Apocalypse".
The Post Apocalypse athleisure garments are all about movement and dancing around the apartment while no one is watching. This Issey Miyake inspired collection of lounge wear is made out of Japanese pleated cotton blend with PVC stripes. The soft and stiff stripes give the fabric a unique shapeability that is really fun to play around with.
All items are OOAK and fit most 16" dolls (photographed here on Inamorata 3.0). They are sold as mix-an-match items at my store:

The background wall elements are made by Julia Gartung and painted by me using a sponge technique. The leather lounge that is in some pics is also commissioned from Julia.

This quaint post office serves as a hub for the surrounding community. As I'm posting photos to Flickr, the Canada Post strike enters its second week.

Another shot from rutherglen bridge. I did have to do a bit of editing on this shot as the day I took it was quite dull, coloursless and cloudy - not 100% happy but there's only so much time you can spend before improvement plateaus...
In the town of Holzkirchen, Germany I've spent many nights at the Hotel Alte Post. During my last trip, I had a meal and a bier at a little cafe across the street, as the sun went down. I loved the way the light illuminated the Alte Post and it's classic Bavarian architecture and art work. I'm not sure if I'll be back in this part of Bavaria since my company is divesting the business with a factory near by, so I was really pleased to grab this shot of a great place.
My friend's dad (the same one who helped me put my new front door on) brought this down for me when he and my friend helped me put my front door on. He made it. It's a cyclinder that goes over the steel star post and it's really really heavy, and you drop it down hard onto the post. I used a sledge hammer to guide the star post in as straight and as deep as I could, I used a spirit level as well, then I used this rammer. It was great! The rammer is leaning on part of the steel star post with the prepared timber post screwed to it.
If you think that this looks gross... try smelling it! Keep in mind that Hurricane Katrina hit about 5 months before we got to Biloxi... so this food has been sitting outside for quite a while. As soon as I took this picture, I got out of the vicinity of the stench as soon as I could.

"What is it, Mum? " will be a question of a little boy in 2727 when he will see this strange metal box...
Everything is turning out virtual...
Just imagine hundreds of hand-written letters from different countries, cities, families! So many destinies mixed up in this box! So many hopes...
The course of the history...
Post box is one of the most functional and the simpliest products of the past.
Have you ever used a post box ? Have you ever received a handwritten letter?
Believe me, the feeling is absolutely euphoric when you find an envelope with beautiful unknown stamps!

The grand ex post office in Fleet Street Torquay closed c2007 but retains the name above the doorway. Still unoccupied apart from a Tesco Metro that has taken over the part of the old building to the left, just out of shot. The Post Office has moved into WHS Smith in Union Street and the twin pillar boxes from the front of the building have been removed replaced with a similar pair outside Smith's.
No longer one of our local walks now we moved, but we'll still come back, as it's such a nice walk....
