It is not without reason that they say that animals and children are set to steal the show. Indeed !
Clara was in the park with her little puppy who was sneaking out of her handbag. I couldn't but notice how cute he was in there and stopped to have a closer look.
Clara was kind and told me that her Dachshund was eight weeks old and that it was very attached to her as she was to it.
While I asked Clara to hold Paavo in her arms for a photo, some other people approached to pat the dog.
"This is like a dog exhibition," one of the women exclaimed and everybody laughed.
Clara is a dance teacher, born into that job, literally.
"Both of my parents were dance teachers. Åke & Leena Blomqvist."

Indeed, Åke Blomqvist was a very famous Finnish dancer and instructor.
"My advice to the world would be to be kind to each other, to touch more each other and learn to dance.
Dancing is touching, caring, being polite to people...
Touching as well as hugging releases endorphins which make you happy."
Clara says that dancers all around the world are friends with other dancers, no matter where they are from.
"In the worst crisis between Russia and Ukraine, there were dancers from both countries dancing and having fun together.
"For example, these fighting muslims in Syria don't dance as men and women, as couples. I believe that if they would, the world could be a better place. I believe that dancing is the answer to
many problems in the world."
Clara believes that it actually is already.
"Older people are not lonely when they dance. It is good for relationships, it keeps your brain in good shape, it helps people get friends and it keeps body and mind healthy."
"Any struggles, Clara?"
""My struggles now are really small. My main project is to take care of Paavo and to make him learn how to become a good dog. He is very easy to train, at least now, he is very nice. I love him already after this first week together!
"To the younger me I would just say - you are beautiful as you are.
I have made mistakes in my life, but I don't really regret anything
because these mistakes have made me who I am today.
"I have two beautiful daughters. I have divorced their father, but if I wouldn't have married so young, I wouldn't have had these beautiful, wonderful creatures in my life. So no regrets. I'm thankful for everything in my life now."
What an amazing woman, you are, Clara! I love your positive attitude and gratitude for your life, your children and even your mistakes.
Thank you so much for participating in my photo project. It was a pleasure meeting you & Paavo!

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
One of the reasons I bought the 6D over the 5D MkIII was for the noise and low light specified performance. I have yet to compare against a 5D MkIII. This is a nearly dark room, illuminated by a single bulb and a Christmas tree in the background. The lens was wide open at f/1.4 and the ISO was pushed to 25,600 on the 6D. I had to bump up the EV +1.4. There is a lot of grain, but I didn't use any post noise reduction. If the grain was what I was going for, this could be an interesting photo.
Reason for the satiety of five thousand of the five loaves. (Matthew's Sunday)
August 1, 2020
Although I praise the desire for learning, I accept the degree of learning. And I know who implanted this extraordinary zeal in you. I know the educator of your virtue, the father and at the same time a shepherd and a doctor and a ruler. He who excels in the evangelical life, and breathes apostolic grace; who guides you to the heavenly meadows with spiritual trumpets, as a treasure trove of spiritual concepts that is; the soul image of charity, the one who transcends the meekness of the law and is invincible by anger , unrivaled in every pleasure, and shines with wisdom, and is crowned with virtues.
But much the wealth of your abomination against death, and the breadth of your learning, as I said. And how can I quote you my poor meal? How can I satisfy your insatiable hearing with the small possibilities of my speech? How can a poor language be enough to make so many people happy? Or, to use the words of the Apostles in a timely manner: "Where were so many loaves found in the wilderness?", So that again the rich Despot, freeing himself from poverty, bestows abundance?
"Many people followed," he says, "the Savior." They follow the shepherd the sheep, the sick the persecutor of their diseases, the slaves the liberator of souls. They found a plain road, and everyone gathered on it; whoever wanted to follow him, the sick person got rid of his disease; a source of charity had sprung up and everyone enjoyed it.
Absorbed, then, they extended their trek to the desert. In ancient times, when God was legislating through Moses in the wilderness, Mount Sinai was surrounded by fire, and the flames reached the heavens. Fear and trembling along with trumpets and altercations amazed those who watched. But now the Despot, leaving the fear, took the form of a slave, showing his charity by taking on human nature. And long ago the earth had heard: "Let the earth sprout grass", while now the table that was laid on the ground, is filled with goods by the Despot himself.
So when the Lord took the fish, he turned to heaven and blessed them. Does he ask, as if in need? Does he raise his gaze and call on the sky for help? Does he draw the power of benevolence from elsewhere, and give arios to Arius, and arm the tongue of Eunomius to launch their blasphemies against the Son? Of course not, but he prevents the crimes of the Jews, because the Jew always searches for causes, and from what he enjoys he catches accusations. Because God once gave manna to the Israelites in the wilderness, and to those who walked on the earth he spread a heavenly table, and taught the stone to imitate the clouds by drawing water from it, and instead of thanking them, he heard ungrateful words: "He threw a stone and water flowed, can he not even see bread?" —Because he hit the rock and water spilled, can he give us some bread? That is why Christ instructs his grandchildren, in order not to take the magnitude of the miracle as a pretext for slander, that he is supposedly trying to show that he is greater than the Father, and to invent again the usual slander of opposition, entrusts the achievement to the Father , looking up to heaven, grabbing the accusation from the Jewish languages. Because this is how Christ always treats Jewish debauchery. So when he healed the leper and proclaimed with power the flight of passion, he referred to the law that was freed from the disease, saying: "offer your gift to the priest as proof" —that is, let the law witness the cure and let the language of illegality. That is why even now he raises his gaze to heaven, stunning the accuser of antithesis; but besides, also educating the people who sit down to eat, to know well the cause of enjoyment. Because it is a confession to look at the sky.
"After he had taken the loaves, he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. "And they all ate and were satisfied." Oh, what things were happening then! The loaves gave birth to loaves, and the grassy tables were filled with homemade food. Breads free from agricultural sweat, which did not sprout from rye but flourished from despotic hands, although much is required by human food: plowing the land, sowing by farmers, changing winds into clouds, the birth of rain, adequate humidity of earth and atmosphere, temperature changes, moon shifts, nights with twinkling stars, spruce vegetation, early ripening of fruits, threshing trouble, mill cooperation, removal of waste, artful creation and the necessary involvement of the fire. Now the Lord did all this together only with the touch of his hand, since in front of them was the one who excites the belly of the earth for fruitfulness. There was one who surrounds the sky with clouds. He was the one who has given mortals the wisdom of art. It was "the one who always bears the verb of this mouth".
He was there confirming his presence with the flesh he wore. He showed with a miracle who is the one who holds the reins of creation. He solved the old crime of the Jews and their insatiable passion. They could no longer say "can he also give bread?" Behold, they filled the desert with bread. Let the kinship of miracles teach you, Judea, who also granted them.
"And they did all eat," he says, "and were filled, and took up the fragments that were left over, twelve baskets full." The coffins are equal to the Apostles, so that each of them, carrying one, has the trouble of witnessing the miracle. And the shoulder with the sense of weight to train to realize the event, and the effort to secure the memory, so that they do not consider imagination what they saw, and immerse themselves in calculations of the magnitude of the miracle. And because the mind is not enough to see with its own eyes the paradoxical miracle, not to slowly give birth to the suspicion that the event was a dream. It prolongs the memory of the event with the multitude of leftovers, so that daily eating, teaching knowledge, stimulates the memory.
Please, the other Evangelist, advocate of the so-called to say: "their hearts were broken, and they did not realize what had happened to the breads". He manifests the passion, to proclaim the miracle. Because it is great to have only five loaves for so many thousands. But leaving so many leftovers not only gave the students the memory of the miracle, but also revealed the power of the one who performed it. Because, if he gave them as much as they needed, the grace of his philanthropy would be distorted, and in doing so, it would not have become clear that he is the Lord of all, since he only served need. While now that the donation has become greater than the need, it testifies to the power of the One who granted it.
Let us learn elsewhere clearly what I am saying: The manna was once given to the Israelites through Moses. But because the one who served the miracle was a slave, with him was the gift enslaved to need, since the unnecessary disappeared. And whichever hand got sick from greed, at the time of collection, obliged the gift to get sick with it. Heaven sent down food to the Jews in moderation, and time overcame the gift, and grace had a time limit. Because as the procession in the desert ended, the earth now indicated the natural bread. Then the mother ceased, and the treasury of heaven for the people was closed.
Transfer your mind to another servant, who was ordered to work miracles on time. Elijah the Great, who sterilized the sky with an oath, held the air with his lips, and with his voice condemned creation to a holiday. He persuaded the hospitable widow to turn the oil into a spring, and the little flour did not diminish with time, but the more nature consumed it, the more grace replaced it. When the rain came, it made wings and the gift of Elias. He served, he served as a slave and not out of some dominant ambition. That is why now the Lord multiplies disproportionately to the need, manifesting His power, and giving everyone to understand who is "the one who gives food to all people." To Him belongs the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Brabourne nextes in the shadow of Wye Down, nestling in a fold in the land, and driving through it hardly seems to be a village, more a few houses and a farm. But just visible down a gravel track, which has a sign stating quite clearly that it was not suitable for parking for the church. In which case I woulve to partially block the lane through the village.
One approaches the church down a brick path, which is tricky as over the years it has developed quite an arch. You soon see that the trees are hiding a formidable church, and the most impressive of towers, almost castle keep-like.
A small porch allows the visitor to leave the chill air outside, and you are met my a sturdy door, which invites you in.
St Mary is a large and impressive church, the walls covered with memorials to the local big family, also are several cut out which may indicate where carved figures one laid. High in the north wall of the chancel, is possibly the oldest stained glass still in original position (although reset), which seem to date to the year 1200 AD, which is incredible if true, and I have no reason to diubt that.
-----------------------------------------------
St Mary's is a very tall church, more Saxon in its proportions than Norman. The church dates in its present form from the twelfth century, with typical decoration in the form of pilaster buttresses on the outside north wall of the chancel. In the thirteenth century a south aisle was added and the present arch to the tower rebuilt; the remains of the original Norman arch may still be seen. In the chancel is a remarkable survivor - a twelfth-century window with its original glass. It has been reset and restored, but vividly recalls the dusky colours of the period. The pattern is purely geometric, of flowers and semi-circles, and may be compared to the contemporary glass in Canterbury Cathedral. Also in the chancel is one of the two thirteenth-century heart shrines in Kent. This little piece of sculpture consists of a plain shield - originally painted - under decorated and cusped tracery, the whole squeezed between thin pinnacles. It is uncertain whose heart was buried here, but it dates from about 1296 and may be associated with the de Valence family. The other Kent heart shrine is at Leybourne (see separate entry).
www.kentchurches.info/church.asp?p=Brabourne
-----------------------------------------------
A Church has existed here since Saxon times - mention is made of one at 'Bradeburna' soon after the coming of Archbishop Lanfranc to Canterbury in about 1070.
The present St Mary's Church is of Norman design, and dates from the twelfth century.
Most of the original Norman nave can be seen on the north side, and the Chancel is pure Norman. Notice the priest's doorway and the twelfth century window in the Chancel - this still has its original glass. It is almost certainly unique in the country as most were smashed during the reign of Henry VIII, or later, during the Civil War. It was also left when other stained glass from the Church was sold in 1774. It is believed to be England's oldest complete Norman window still in its original setting with light falling through.
Additions were made in the thirteenth century , including the rebuilt arch to the tower. The staircase in the tower is of great antiquity: halves of an oak tree 31ft long form the sides, with another tree for the base and a forked branch as a support.
The Chancel also holds one of only two thirteenth century heart shrines in Kent (the other is in Leybourne). The sculpture consists of a plain shield (the original paint has long since worn away) under fine decorated arches. In the back there is a recess, which would have been used to contain a heart encased in silver or ivory. It is thought that the shrine was built for the heart of John Baliol, founder of Balliol College, Oxford. Whether it served its intended purpose is unknown, but it was found to be empty when opened in the early 1900s.
The tomb of Sir John Scott, made of Caen stone, stands in the north wall of the Chancel. Sir John, who died on October 17th 1485, was a Privy Councillor and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Above the tomb hangs a trophy helmet, carried at the funeral of a knight, most probably Sir Thomas Scott, Commander of the Kentish Forces during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Another helmet (in the south east corner of the Chancel) is thought to have belonged to Sir William Scott, who died in 1433.
The altar is a tomb, topped with a slab of Bethersden Marble, and dates from around 1600. It is decorated with the arms of the Scott family.

LIES the next parish to Bircholt north-eastward, being written in Domesday both Breburne and Bradeburne, and taking its name from its situation on the broad bourne or rivulet which rises in it.
THE PARISH is situated at the foot of the upper range of the chalk or down-hills, which reach from hence to the sea shore at Folkestone, and here take the name of Braborne downs; it is an unfrequented place, and from the soils of it not a pleasant one, for near the downs it is mostly chalk; the middle part, though there are various soils in it, consists mostly of a stiff, though not unfertile clay, and the southern part is a deep red sand. It is about two miles across from north to south, and somewhat more from east to west, stretching itself along a narrow slip beyond Hampton, almost as far as the village of Brooke, and on the other part within a very little of Stowting court-lodge. The village of Braborne, having the church and court-lodge in it, lies at the foot of the Down-hill, on the side of a wide valley, which extends below it southward. At the foot of the hills westward are Combe, Bedlestone, the hamlet of West Braborne-street and Hampton. The parish is well watered by several rivulets, one of them, which rises in and near Braborne-street, runs southward into that branch of the Stour below Scottshall, and so on by Sevington to Ashford; and there are others, which from the foot of the hills, more towards the west, which join the stream which runs by Swatfield bridge towards Ashford likewise.
In the southern part of the parish is the heath called Braborne-lees, one half of which only is within the bounds of it; across these lees the high road goes from Ashford towards Hythe. Here is a noted warren for rabbits, belonging to the Scotts-hall estate, they are of a remarkable fine flavor, from which Canterbury, and all the neighbouring towns are plentifully supplied with them. A fair is held in the village on the last day of May, for pedlary and toys.
That part of it which is within the borough of Cocklescombe, is in the hundred, and within the liberty of the royal manor of Wye.
THE MANOR OF BRABORNE, soon after the dissolution of the Saxon heptarchy, was, according to a very antient record, the inheritance of a lady called Salburga, who is stiled in it Domina de Brabourne, and by her will, in the year 864, ordered that the future possessors of it should give yearly to the monastery of St. Augustine, a quantity of provisions, on condition of their performing certain religious services for the health of her soul; which provisions were forty measures of malt, fifteen rams, twenty loaves of bread, one measure of butter, one measure of cheese, four cart loads of wood, and twenty hens. Who were the possessors of this manor afterwards till the time of the Norman conquest, does not appear; but at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, it was become part of the pos sessions of Hugo de Montfort, on whom that prince had bestowed likewise more than thirty other manors and estates in the neighbourhood of it. Accordingly he is numbered in that record as one of the thirteen, (for there are no more) who held lands in this county at that time, and under the general title of his lands this manor is thus entered in it.
In Wivart lath, in Berisout hundred, Hugo himself holds Breburne, Godric de Burnes held it of king Edward, and it was taxed at seven sulings, and now for five sulings and an half and half a yoke, because another part of it is without the division of Hugo, and that the bishop of Baieux holds. The arable land is fifteen carucates. In demesne there are two, and thirty-one villeins, with ten borderers having ten carucates. There is a church, and eight servants, and two mills of seven shillings, and twenty acres of meadow. Wood for the pannage of twenty-five bags. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth twenty pounds, and afterwards eight pounds, now sixteen pounds.
That part mentioned above, as without the division of Hugo de Montfort, is likewise noticed in the same book, in the description of the adjoining manors of Hastingligh and Aldelows, belonging to the bishop of Baieux, as may be seen hereafter, in the account of them.
On the voluntary exile of Robert de Montfort, grandson of Hugh above-mentioned, in the reign of king Henry I. this manor, among the rest of his possessions, came into the king's hands, whence it was soon afterwards granted to Robert, son of Bernard de Ver, constable of England, who had married Adeliza, daughter of Hugh de Montfort, and was the founder of the priory of Horton, in the next adjoining parish. (fn. 1) After which it appears to have come into the possession of Henry de Essex, who was constable likewise of Eng land, from his succession to which, as well as from other circumstances, it should seem that he became entitled to this manor by inheritance Henry de Essex, before-mentioned, was baron of Raleigh, in Essex, his chief seat, and hereditary standard-bearer of England; but by his misbehaviour in a battle against the Welsh, in the 10th year of that reign, he forfeited all his possessions to the crown. (fn. 2) Before which he had confirmed to the priory of Horton all the former grants of his ancestors. And by another charter he granted to it, in free and perpetual alms, the pasture of twelve oxen in his park of Braborne, with his own oxen, for so long as they should be at feed, whether within his park or without; and all tithe of his hay, to be taken wholly and fully with his carriages to the barns of the monks. After which this manor appears to have been held by Baldwin de Betun, earl of Albermarle, who, in the 5th year of king John, granted it to William Mareschal, earl of Pembroke, with Alice his daughter in frank marriage, to hold to them and their heirs. William, earl of Pembroke, in the 10th year of king Henry III. his first wife being deceased, married Alianore, the king's sister, and in the 14th year of that reign had a confirmation of this manor, on condition that Alianore his wife, if she survived him, should enjoy it for life. He died in the 15th year of that reign, and she became possessed of it, and afterwards remarried Simon, earl of Leicester, who was slain fighting on the part of the discontented barons at the battle of Evesham. After which the countess and her children were forced to forsake the realm, and she died abroad in great poverty. In the mean time the four brothers of William, earl of Pembroke, successively earls of Pembroke, being dead s. p. their inheritance became divided between their five sisters and their heirs, and upon the division of it, the manor of Braborne, among others, was allotted to Joane, the second sister, then the widow of Warine de Montchensie, by whom she had one son William, and a daughter Joane, married to William de Valence, the king's half brother, who afterwards, through the king's favour, on William de Montchensie's taking part with the discontented barons, and his estates being confiscated, became possessed of this manor, of which he died possessed in the 23d year of king Edward I. leaving Joane his widow surviving, who had it assigned to her as part of her dower. She died in the 1st year of king Edward II. holding it in capite by knight's service, as of the king's marechalsy, and leaving one son Adomar or Aymer de Valence, earl of Pembroke, and three daughters; Anne, married to Maurice Fitzgerald, secondly to Hugh Baliol, and lastly to John de Avennes; Isabel, to John de Hastings, of Bergavenny; and Joane, to John Comyn, of Badenagh. (fn. 3) Aymer de Valence, earl of Pembroke, on her death, succeeded to this manor, and in the 6th year of that reign, obtained a charter of privileges for it, among which were those of a market, fair, and free-warren. He was a nobleman greatly favoured by king Edward I. and II. but in the 17th year of the latter reign, attending the queen into France, he was murdered there that year. He died possessed of this manor, and without issue; so that John de Hastings, son of Isabel, one of the earl's sisters, and John Comyn, of Badenagh, in Scotland, son of Joane, another of the earl's sisters, were found to be his coheirs and next of kin; and the latter of them, on the division of their inheritance, had this manor, in his mother's right, allotted to him. He died s. p. in the 19th year of king Edward II. leaving his two sisters his coheirs, of whom the eldest, Joane, married to David de Strabolgie, earl of Athol, possessed this manor as part of his wife's inheritance, and died next year. His descendant David de Strabolgie, earl of Athol, died in the 49th year of that reign, possessed of this manor, (fn. 4) leaving by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Henry, lord Ferrers, who died the same year, anno 1375, and was buried in the high chancel of Ashford church, two daughters his coheirs, the youngest of whom Philippa, married to John Halsham, of Halsham, in Sussex, by her father's will, became entitled to this manor. The Halshams bore for their arms, Argent, a chevron engrailed, between three leopards heads, gules. Their grandson Sir Hugh Halsham, died anno 21 Henry VI. leaving Joane, his only daughter and heir, who entitled her husband John Lewknor, esq. of Sussex, to the possession of it; in whose descendants it continued till the latter end of king Henry VII.'s reign, when Sybilla, daughter of Sir Thomas Lewknor, carried it in marriage to Sir William Scott, K. B. and in his descendants, resident at Scotts-hall, this manor, with the rents, services, courtlodge, and demesne lands, remained, till at length George Scott, esq. about the year 1700, sold the manor-house, called Braborne court-lodge, with the demesne lands belonging to it, being enabled so to do by an act passed anno 10 and 11 William III. to Tho. Denne, of Patricksborne, whose grandsons Daniel and Thomas Denne, of Sittingborne, in 1768, conveyed this estate to William Deedes, esq. of St. Stephen's, (who was before possessed of an estate in this parish, which had been purchased of George Scott, esq. by his grandfather William Deedes, M. D. of Canterbury) and his eldest son of the same name, now of Hythe, esq. is the present owner of it.
BUT THE MANOR RENTS AND SERVICES remained in the family of Scott for some time afterwards, and till Edward Scott, esq. some few years ago, alienated the quit-rents of this manor, together with the Park and Pound farms, in this parish, to Thomas Whorwood, esq. of Denton, who by will devised them for life to Mrs. Cecilia Scott, of Canterbury, daughter of George Scott, esq. before-mentioned, on whose death in 1785 the property of them became vested in lady Markham, widow of Sir James Markham, bart. of Lincolnshire, who was Mr. Whorwood's heir-at-law, and she sold them in 1787 to Sir Edward Knatchbull, bart. the present owner of them.
BUT THE MANOR OF BRABORNE ITSELF, with the court baron and other manerial rights belonging to it, remained in the descendants of George Scott, esq. down to Francis Talbot Scott, esq. whose trustees, about the year 1784, conveyed it, with his other estates in this neighbourhood, to Sir John Honywood, bart. of Evington, who is the present proprietor of it.
HEMINGE is a manor, lying at the south-east corner of this parish, next to Horton, which in antient time gave both surname and residence to a family so called, as the deeds without date belonging to it plainly shew. At length, after this manor had been in the possession of this name, as might be traced out fully by these evidences for almost three hundred years, it was conveyed by William Heminge, in the 2d year of Edward VI.'s reign, to Peter Nott, in whose descendants it continued till the 16th year of Charles II. when one of them alienated it to Avery Hills, by whose daughter and heir it went in marriage to Hobday, whose descendant sold it, in the year 1713, to Mr. John Nethersole, who left three sons surviving, John, who was of Barham; Stephen, who was of Wimlinswold; and William, who was of Canterbury, in whose three daughters, or their representatives, this manor at length became vested. They agreed on a partition of their inheritance, on which the whole of this manor was allotted to Jacob Sharpe, esq. of Canterbury, the surviving son of Mr. Jacob Sharpe, by Elizabeth, the eldest of the three daughters, who in 1796 sold it to Mr. Thomas Ken nett, of Brabourn, who is the present possessor of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
COMBE is another manor, in the northern part of this parish, close at the foot of the downs, which name it had from its situation, cumbe signifying in the Saxon a bottom or valley, and to distinguish it from other manors of the same name in this neighbourhood, it was called Braborne Combe. About the year 990, one Edward de Cumbe, whose son Leofard was a monk in St. Augustine's monastery, by his will bequeatned the land of Cumbe to that monastery. Whether the abbot and convent ever gained the possession of it, or if they did, how long it staid with them, I do not find; but at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, in the Conqueror's reign, it was parcel of the possessions of the bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is entered in it as follows:
The same Wadard holds of the bishop, Cumbe. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is two carucates. In demesne there is one, and nine villeins, with five borderers having one carucate and an half. There are fourteen acres of meadow. Wood for the pannage of five hogs. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth sixty shillings, and afterwards fifty shillings, now four pounds, and the service of one knight. Leuret de rochinge held it of king Edward.
After this, on the bishop of Baieux's disgrace, this manor was held of the crown, by a family who took their name from their residence at it; of whom Richard de Combe, and Simon his son, served the office of sheriff, as assistants to Sir John de Northwood, in the 20th year of king Edward I. and bore for their arms, Sable, three lions passant-guar dant, in pale, gules. At length by a female heir of this name, it went by marriage, in the reign of king Richard II. to John Scott, who afterwards resided at it, as did his descendants till Sir William Scott removed to Scotts-hall at the latter end of king Henry IV.'s reign; and in his descendants, of Scotts-hall, this manor continued down to George Scott, esq. of Scotts-hall, who procured an act anno 10 and 11 king William, to vest this manor, among his other estates, in trustees, to be sold for payment of his debts, in pursuance of which it was soon afterwards sold to Brook Bridges, esq. of Goodnestone, afterwards created a baronet, whose great-grandson Sir Brook Bridges, bart. of Goodnestone, is the present possessor of it.
HAMPTON is the last manor to be described in this parish, being situated in the north-west corner of it, adjoining to Brooke. It has the name in antient deeds of Hampton Cocklescombe, and sometimes is described by the name of the manor of Cocklescombe only, being so called from its situation in the borough of that name, and within the hundred of Wye. This manor was given by Robert de Ver, constable of England, and lord of Braborne, to Osbert his marshal, and Emeline his wife, who gave it again to the priory in the adjoining parish of Horton, by the description of the land of Hanetone; which gift was confirmed to the priory by the same Robert de Ver, and Adeliza de Montfort his wife, and afterwards by Henry de Essex, (fn. 5) as appears by the register of it; of the priory of Horton this manor was afterwards again held, at the rent of forty shillings in perpetual fee farm, by a family who took their name of Hampton from their residence at it, as appears not only by the above register, but by antient deeds and court-rolls, and that they remained here till the reign of king Henry VI. when John Hampton pasted it away to one of the name of Shelley, by whose heir general it became the property of John May, of Bibroke, in Kennington, whose son of the same name leaving an only daughter Alice, the carried it in marriage to John Edolph, of Brenset, and his daughter Elizabeth entitled her husband William Wil cocks, esq. of New Romney, to it, who died possessed of this manor in the 16th year of queen Elizabeth, holding it in free socage. His widow survived him, and afterwards married Ralph Radcliffe, esq. of Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, who survived her. She died in the 39th year of that reign, and by her last will devised this manor to her only son by her first husband, John Wilcocks, who dying s. p. his two sisters became his coheirs, of whom Martha married Sir Edward Radcliffe, of Sevington, in this county, and physician to king James I. and Elizabeth married William Andrews; and on the partition of their inheritance, Sir Edward Radcliffe became entitled to the sole possession of it, in whose descendants it continued down to John Radcliffe, esq. of Hitchin priory, who dying in 1783, s. p. this manor, among his other estates, came to Sir Charles Farnaby, bart. of Sevenoke, in right of his wife Penelope, sister and heir-at-law of the above mentioned John Radcliffe. Sir Charles Farnaby afterwards took the name of Radcliffe, (fn. 6) and removed to Hitchin, where he died in 1798, and his heirs are now entitled to it.
Charities.
WILLIAM FORDRED, by will in 1550, gave to this parish, among others, a proportion of the rents of 25 acres of land in St. Mary's parish, in Romney Marsh; which portion to this parish is of the annual produce of 4l. 12s. 4¾d. to be distributed annually to the poor, and vested in trustees.
MR. KNOTT gave for the use of the poor, a sum of money, vested in Robert Goddard, of Mersham, now of the annual produce of 8s.
The poor constantly relieved are about fifty-five, casually twenty-five.
BRABORNE is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Elham.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary, is a large handsome building, consisting of two isles and two chancels, having a square tower steeple at the west end, in which are five bells. The northern isle is much lostier than the other, having an upper story, choir-like, with the three upper windows to the south; below which is the roof of the north isle. Both chancels are full of the interments of the Scott family; but the brasses and inscriptions are almost all gone. Against the north wall is a tomb, with an arch and recess over it; against the back have been two figures, with inscriptions, and two shields of brass, now gone; on the side of the tomb are two shields carved in stone, one Pympe, the other Scott. Against the opposite wall is a kind of altar, the form of which is given before, P. I. At the east end, within the rails, is a large altar-tomb against the wall, of Bethersden marble; on it the marks of a figure, the brass gone; on the front five shields, with the arms of Scott, and their several impalements. Over the tomb is a kind of altar-piece, ornamented with stone carve-work, and three shields of arms; I. Scott impaling oblit. over it the date 1290; 2, being the middle shield, Scott and the following quarterings, Beaufitz, Pympe, Pashley, Normanville, Warren, Sergeaux, Gower, and Cogan In which arms of Scott it is noted, all the bordures are plain. In the south chancel belonging likewise to the Scott family, the brasses on the gravestones, with which the pavement is covered, are all gone. In the south wall is a very antient tomb with an arch over it; underneath this tomb the late Edward Scott, esq. was buried. Against this wall is a monument for Arthur Scott, commissioner of the navy, third son of Geo. Scott, of Scotts-hall. Against the north wall a monument for lieutenant-colonel Cholmeley Scott, esq. youngest son of George Scott, esq. of Scotts-hall. Weever mentions several memorials of this family in the body of the church remaining in his time, all which have been long since obliterated, and their brasses destoryed. In the south isle is a stone, with the figure of a man in brass, habited in armour, with sword and spurs on, the latter having the rowels much like the figure of a catherine wheel; a greyhound under his feet; the inscription gone, excepting the words of Brabourne, armigr. and anno Dni mil. Against the north wall, a monument for William Richards, put up by Gabriel Richards, gent. of Rowling, in 1672; arms, Sable, a chevron between three fleurs de lis, argent; a crescent for difference. Another for John Richards, vicar, obt. 1727. In the south scite of the body of the church, is a memorial for Dionisia, daughter of Vincent Fynche, alias Harbert, esq. obt. 1458; arms, Finch impaling Cralle; and in the same isle is a stone, robbed of the figure on it, but the brass inscription remains, for Joane, daughter of Sir Gervas Cliston, married to John Diggs; arms, Clifton impaling Fineh, and Diggs impaling Clifton. The tower at the west end is of a large size, but flat at top, and only of equal height with the roof of the north isle.
Mr. Evelyn, in his Discourse on Forest Trees, mentions a superannuated yew-tree growing in this churchyard, which being 58 feet 11 inches in circumference, bore near 20 feet diameter; and besides which there were goodly planks, and other considerable pieces of square and clear timber, which he observed to lie about it, which had been hewed and sawn out of some of the arms only, torn from it by impetuous winds. This tree has been many years since gone, and a fine stately young one now flourishes in the room of it.
The church was formerly appendant to the manor, and continued so till it was given, in the beginning of king Henry II.'s reign, by Robert de Ver, lord of the manor of Braborne, to the priory of Horton, at his first foundation of it; and it was appropriated to the priory before the 8th year of king Richard II. the priory being bound to pay the tenth of the vicarage. But there does not seem to have been any endowment made till anno 1445, when there was one assigned by the prior to Thomas de Banstede, the vicar of it. (fn. 7) In which state this church, with the advowson of the vicarage, continued till the dissolution of the priory in the reign of king Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, and remained there till it was granted in exchange to the archbishop, where it still continues, the parsonage being at this time parcel of the see of Canterbury, and his grace the archbishop the present parton of the vicarage.
The parsonage is a very handsome brick house, standing at a small distance from the church-yard, to which the vicarage adjoins likewise, being a neat small brick building. The family of Kennet have been lessees for many years, Mr. Claude Kennet being the present lessee of it, who resides at it.
¶The vicarage of Braborne is valued in the king's books at 11l. 12s. 6d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 3s. 3d. And there is annually, by the endowment of it, paid out of the parsonage to the vicar, one seam or quarter of wheat, and the like of barley; and archbishop Juxon, anno 15 Charles II. augmented it sixteen pounds per annum, to be paid by the lessee of the parsonage. In 1640 this vicarage was valued at sixty-four pounds, communicants one hundred and six. In 1733 it was valued at one hundred pounds. There is one acre of glebe land belonging to it.
The story I’ve been telling you is a true story, but I don’t believe it happened.
For two reasons.
The first reason is, I don’t want to believe it happened. I don’t want to believe a stranger was hiding in the attic while I slept in my bed less than ten feet away. I just don’t.
My parents never believed it happened, either, because nothing was stolen and there was no evidence of a break-in. Mom was mortified that the police had been in “her” house, going through “her things,” and Dad was angry that we hadn’t “used our heads.” By that he meant, my sister Melinda and I had allowed our imaginations to run away with ourselves.
The second reason I don’t believe it happened is because Melinda was a liar. She lied all the time, to get into things and to get out of them, but mostly, I think, she lied to get attention.
She also liked to play games with me. For example, one time she used a knife to slash a seat on our school bus. The driver saw her do it. He reported her to the principal, who called our parents, who searched Melinda’s room for the knife. They couldn’t find it. But I did, right where she hid it: in the second drawer of my dresser, secreted among my socks.
For those two reasons, this story has become the central mystery of my life. Either I believe a man hid in the attic, or I believe my sister played a joke on me that scared me like nothing has since.
Either way, I never again slept with my back to the closet door. I never again thought of my house as my home.
It’s taken me years to come to terms with that day, and with the sister who would eventually tear my family apart with her self-destructive behavior.
Now when I think of Melinda, I chose to remember her in the moments before my desk chair fell, before the big bang that brought about such cataclysmic change. In my memory, she's fifteen years old and laying on the chaise longue, soaking up the summer rays, with the limitless blue sky reflected in her movie star sunglasses.

Purposely having this posted for reasons, it reminds us should take our pace slowly at times, don't overkill yourself, nothing more important than your health.
Friends being so thoughtful as they sent / posted some articles that how important the health is, there was a shock news and that was really unfortunate accident occurred last month. At that very spot, I truly realized how lucky I am, though there are no symptom of sudden death. I am grateful that I still can be here to do processing those photos should have been done for long ago, nothing more to have a perfect health to achieve what we wanted in our precious life.
Bad quality rest, insomnia could lead to severe headache and migraine. If this condition keep persisting, it's time to consult specialists. The last i had discussion while reading my body checkout result with doctors, there are Sleep Disorder Unit could offer the most comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services for the evaluation. Sleep Disorder Clinic for outpatient consultation services and patient rooms for performing sleep studies. The sleep studies very thorough with measurements of brain waves, respiratory pattern and leg movements for example are fully attended by sleep technologists.
I'd think to give a go for this matter, sort out what had happened in the past with my sleeping qualities. As of now, when i feel i can't breath for any aspects, I'd rather take it slow and rest as much as required. Taking a slow pace doesn't mean I am incapable, even the machines do have maintenance over the weekend, why would human doesn't deserve it? Probably to plan out a short trip for my own, perhaps?

The main reason I went, unfortunately I only got another two shots like this as they kept their distance, especially when other people get in the way and try to get as close possible with tiny point and shoots (not moaning about the cameras, moaning about how close they get to the birds and ruin it for other people) another annoying thing is when groups of people block the path and waste your 3 hours on the island!
There ain’t no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.
People walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it's filled with coal, sufficating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
For reason that I'm not aware of, the Roosevelt Island aerial tramway rises much higher than the roadway of Queensboro Bridge, then it drops suddenly to land on Roosevelt Island.
xxxx
Roosevelt Island is a narrow, elongated island just 300 yards east of Manhattan in the middle of East River. It's connected to Manhattan by this aerial tramway and by an under-water metro/ subway line. It's also connected to Queen by a bridge.
The Manhattan terminal of the aerial tramway is located at 2nd Avenue at East 59th Street.
There are at least 1001 reasons why I love my wife. She can jump a 1200-pound thoroughbred. She takes amazing photographs. She writes poetry that'll bring a tear to your eye and put a lump in your throat. She can change a tire faster than I can. She can wax philosophic about reinvention of the messiah in Authurian legend. She makes strangers smile and laugh. She can beat me at arm wrestling when there's a wager at stake. She is an awesome mother. She's really sexy. And, as a former bartender, she can carry seven bottles of beer at once. St Pauli Girl's tagline is "You Never Forget Your First Girl." I think I shall never forget my last and final girl.
Quite a few pieces of sales material on the Lightburn Zeta of the early sixties, often considered the worst car in the world.
Made by a company that produced cement mixers and washing machines, though they also were Australia's importer of the Alfa Romeo cars.
When the Morris Mini 850 hit the market, this car was finished.
For some unknown reason, the custom in the US is to tell people to say "cheese" just before a photo is taken in order to get them to smile. On the other hand, I always get a bigger smile when I tell my photo subjects to say "vagina." My mischievous girlfriend Leslie Anne had her own agenda. I set the timer on my camera and had her hit the shutter release and jump up onto my countertop next to me. Just before the flash, she popped a Peep into my almost smiling mouth. It is that season of the year, so I shouldn't be too surprised at her pre-Easter stunt.

Roger: Yes sir, I understand do u want us to bring back any hostages?
Lieutenant Colonel: Sure.

Is getting mentioned by name in someone else's list a good enough reason to do my own list of 16 things? I say yes. Here we go:
1. My fabulous hairstyle in this photo is courtesy of Caryn. It came in a box of Christmas goodness (thanks! so fun!), and really, nothing expresses holiday spirit more than the El Camino of haircuts: the mullet. Caryn knows me so well. Mullets fascinate me and I don't think I will ever stop being entertained by them. "Check out the mullet on that guy!" is probably one of my most frequently-uttered phrases. You can't take me anywhere. The title of this photo comes from a poem I made a guy write about mullets. I also once made him write a poem about ninjas. Awesome poetry. I'm teetering on the edge of a tangent. Let's move on to the next item.
2. I am an irritating stickler about grammar and punctuation, though I tend to abuse commas with abandon, and they like it. "Hurt me!" That's their motto.
3. I cannot fold fitted sheets. I CANNOT DO THIS. Can I fold a round tablecloth perfectly? Yes. Do I know that the only correct way to fold a towel is in thirds (don't argue with me)? Of course. Am I capable of folding a fitted sheet so that it looks neat? Absolutely not. It doesn't matter how many times I have asked for instruction in the art of fitted-sheet-folding, because whatever tactic I try, when I fold a fitted sheet, it always comes out looking like a wadded nightmare. Sort of like how I imagine it would look if it were folded by a bat. Who was maybe having a seizure. I can fold flat sheets. I can fold pillowcases. But the fitted sheets, they defy me and my folding brilliance. Don't bother explaining the secret of how to do this, because I assure you that I will not get it.
4. I can't do simple math in my head. I mean, I can do simple math in my head, but it takes me a really long time, because I have to create a mental picture of a scrap of paper, and then I have to picture myself writing down the numbers and I have to concentrate so hard in order to keep myself from getting distracted and ruining the whole thing that when I finally figure out the answer I can't remember why I needed to know it in the first place. I hate people who can do this sort of thing quickly. Hate.
5. It's cheesy as hell but I love It's A Wonderful Life. Love. Though I always tend to fall asleep in the middle and then wake up when George Bailey is running through Bedford Falls, so excited to have his life back. And then I start crying. Just a little at first, but it builds and builds until by the time his brother toasts him with "To my big brother George, the richest man in town," I'm pretty much weeping. Every. Damn. Time. I guess it's a holiday tradition. I didn't even watch it this year, except I caught the end on TV and cried through the whole thing. It's pathetic.
6. I am very fidgety. I fidget all the time. I'm not nervous, really, it's just that I can't sit still. I fidget with my hair, with my jewelry. I have mostly broken the habit but I still sometimes catch myself buttoning and unbuttoning my shirt while I'm sitting somewhere (that is not a good thing to do, by the way). When I was in 6th grade, my math teacher would tell me to stop playing with my hair. Then one day I raised my hand in class and my bracelet got stuck got stuck in my hair. So I tried to play it cool by pretending that I was pushing my hair behind my ear, but it didn't really work. At that moment my teacher looked at me and told me to stop playing with my hair, but I couldn't move my hand, so I just stared at her for a few seconds before finally saying "I'm stuck." And then my friend who was sitting next to me helped me untangle myself. I believe this was the same day when, after school, I bent over to pick something up from the bottom of my locker and got my hair stuck on the, uh, door-catch-thing in my locker. I couldn't turn my head to look at the problem so I couldn't fix it. So I stayed bent that way until someone came by and I said "Help." Why am I allowed to have hair?
7. I am a terrible chess player. I tend to think I'm doing okay and then I'm in checkmate.
8. I make up for it in Scrabble, though. They have Scrabble on Facebook now! Goodbye, productivity.
9. I am easily distracted.
10. Not sure why exactly, but talking about teeth disgusts me.
11. I'm not a very good dancer but this never stops me.
12. This may come as a surprise to you, but I'm kind of a dork.
13. Another surprise: I like Ryan Adams a lot.
14. Sometimes I get uncontrollable giggles thinking about the Flannery O'Connor story "Good Country People" because I remember the first time I read it (for a class) and then discussing it and saying something about the character Manley Pointer and then saying "Wait. Manley Pointer. Is that on PURPOSE?" and the professor said yes and then I could not stop laughing. So for one thing, I'm so mature, and for another thing, good one, Flannery.
15. I'm pretty good at breaking into my own house.
16. I fear ladders.
Gosh, this is a long description.
The reason I am out taking a photo of the sunset--my dog is afraid of fireworks and they are going off in town, so I have to take her out to the country for her to do her business.
Tonight, I thought I would add the seven photos I took at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, two days ago, on 25 September 2019. (For some strange reason, so many people misspell this location as Voitier's Flats.) Unlike so many other recent photo folders, this one had just a handful of quick images in it. I don't usually go for local walks any more, apart from the very occasional birding or botany walk with friends, but I felt I really should do one before the snow arrives tomorrow, for three days.
Not much to see, but somehow I knew I would find a Shaggy Mane/Inky Cap mushroom - and I did : ) They like to grow partly hidden in the grass, and it is usually impossible to get a clear photo of them - unless one pulled it out of the ground, I guess. There have been lots of these fungi this year, thanks to all the rain we have had. I posted two rather similar photos, one taken with my Canon SX60 and the other with my Nikon P900. Much as I like the Nikon for certain things, including scenic shots, it does tend to give a yellowish, unnatural tint to photos, which I don't like. I was curious to compare the two shots. Unfortunately, the snow will no doubt put an end to our mushroom season for 2019. It has been wonderful!

My reasons for visiting Washington D.C. each year. My sister and her family live near there. Wish we lived closer. I miss them.
So, recently, for... reasons, I have been spurred on to upload a photo of one of the less common types of bus in this part of the country. The Optare Olympus certainly does have a sort of unique look to it, though it is only Arriva that operate these unique buses in this part of the country, unless I am otherwise mistaken - they can also be found in thinning numbers down at Go-Ahead London. This photo was earlier this year, so I'm not sure whether this sort of allocation to what was a Max route is rare or even repeatable anymore. Unfortunately, it seems a Low Emissions Zone will soon be put into place, so it is likely we will not see it again.
Seen here as arguably a real standout vehicle, Arriva Yorkshire's 1813, a 2008 Volvo B9TL Optare Olympus, is seen here beginning its working of the 415 to Selby via the York Designer Outlet.

And the reason for venturing out tonight in rapidly fading light, MAN 22055 on the 231. It’s become quite regular for Ashton to allocate the odd single decker on the 231, unfortunately they never leave them on all day and neither do the allocations seem to follow any pattern, well not one I can work out, so it’s the luck of the draw if you see one when fully prepared for a photo. I spotted this in the distance heading for Manchester so calculated when it should return and it did at the approximate time I expected, but it still caught me out when I was not quite ready. I had my camera set for a moving bus in very poor light but I wasn’t positioned in a particularly good spot, added to that a major flaw with this camera is its inability to focus on a moving object in poor light so I struggled somewhat. The result, well a personal choice and I think it works; it’s not a photograph you could obtain with a film camera unless you did nothing but poor light photography for the entire film and there is a result at the end so overall yes its ok. The temptation is to lighten the photo, but in reality it was actually darker than it looks so I’ve left it as it is.
Droylsden Sunnyside Road, 23rd November 2015
Here's the other reason the charter was held at the south-end signal, S0464, just a few minutes away when the tour arrived, a Cross Country services was heading this way from the direction of Doncaster and as the 40 had arrived at 11:08, with the booked time being 11:12, it was held awaiting passage of the passenger express on platform 3 over on the right. This is a Cross Country Train class 221, 'Voyager', 221122 heading south on the 1O86, York to Southampton Central service, a five and a half hour run to the south coast with 11 passenger stops. No-one appears to be taking much notice of the 'Voyager', wonder why. in addition, the large pesky blue lamp standard, seen off to the right in front of the driver in the last picture, has been cloned out, but don't look to closely at the tall tree or the side panel of the 'Voyager'; most of it was easy but the carriage side and the tree were hard to remove the vertical post from, so there is some, 'duplication' in the patterning. On the left, with a small crowd of 'enthusiast' gathered in front of the train driver/secondman who appears to be having his picture taken, the train is getting ready for the right-away as soon as the 'Voyager' has cleared the signal in the next section, its own signal, S0466, at the end showing green for a straight run through.
There always has to be a Reason for thing's to happen.Wonder what the Reason is for this Red Rose to be in a tree?
Welcome to your epic hero's journey! The beautiful 45surf goddess hath called ye to adventure, beckoning ye to read deeply Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, whence ye shall learn of yer own exalted artistic path guided by Hero's Journey Mythology. I wouldn't be saying it if it hadn't happened to me.

Some video of the goddess:
She was tall, thin, fit, and very pretty with long, blonde hair and blue eyes! From Sweden!
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II EF 24-105/4L IS USM was my workhorse until I got the Nikon D800 & D800E with the 70-200 mm 2.8 VR2 zoom.
Canon, Nikon, you can't go wrong with the pretty 45surf model goddesses! (Though the D800 is my new love.)
May the goddess inspire ye along a hero's journey of yer own making, and the path of yer own taking.
Was a classic socal autumn morning with a bright, blue, sunny sky! Hope the photos make you feel like you were there! :)

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

The reason our yard went quiet, very suddenly I might add. Beautiful sharp shinned hawk has become a fairly regular visitor to our feeders, though we've never seen it actually catch anything.
I think that I have photographed eight Africa Days here in Dublin. For some unknown reason I missed one.
With one exception the weather has aways been excellent … today it was amazing.
This year I took a huge gamble in that I depended on one camera/lens combination [OK I did have a NEX-7 with a Batis 25mm lens as a backup] and all the equipment is new since Christmas. Because the light was so good I used a fast shutter speed and that did present some problems.
The Sony 28-135mm lens attracted a lot of attention as most people had never anything like it before. I must admit that I was amazed to see so many people using huge Canon lenses and so many carrying more than one large camera.
The event itself was really good and the live acts were top class.
So here it is. The reason for my utter abandonment of the internet the last few weeks.
I've had a massive final project due for my art class at college and this is it. My tutor loves my dolls and I love taking photos of them so it seemed only natural that I use them.
This has been months in planning and sewing (grrr). I made all the outfits with the exception of Rich's ( his jeans were a commission from the amazing mouldsweets and there is actually a shirt to go with them but it wouldn't fit under the jacket so he's got not shirt on, ho-hum). I was so nervous about doing this though and I only just finished making Katsu's dress in time for the photo.
But now it's all finished and over with, thank god and I now have an enormous A2 print of this as my finished piece and in the words of my darling sister: "I can't believe you're actually being marked on your hobby."

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.
