What's better than an octagon house? A hexadecagon church! The Round Church in Richmond, Vermont has sixteen sides, so it isn't truly round. The church was built in 1812 and initially hosted five denominations, along with town meetings.
The Round Church was also a very wet church on the day I visited. It was non-stop heavy rain as I drove across the state from St. Johnsbury to Burlington that day. Lots of flooding, washed out roads, and detours!
You spin me right round baby. Right round. [Wilcox Park, friends on the merry-go-round, seeing how fast they can go.]

Kettle's Yard
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK
Kettle's Yard House
Between 1958 and 1973 Kettle's Yard was the home of Jim and Helen Ede. In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be
"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.
Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.

Growing in profusion in the dune slacks at Newborough, Anglesey. Glesyn y gaeaf deilgrwn
The modern Newborough was founded by citizens of Llanmaes in eastern Anglesey who were evicted by Edward I in 1294 in order to promote his new port of Beaumaris. It was home to a thriving marram grass industry, used for producing matting, nets and rope. This site encompasses one of the finest dune systems in Wales, along with the two adjacent estuaries. The dunes, though partly afforested with conifers, are internationally recognised as part of a Special Area of Conservation.

We were fortunate in having calm winds and seas as we moved around Pt Decision at the junction of Sumner and Chatham Straits in Southeast Alaska.
