I was very lucky with the weather. I visited four National Trust properties today. Some smaller details to follow ...
Deers at Mount Edgecombe Park
This was taken on an evening walk around the lovely country park of Mount Edgecombe as I walking around a large empty field.
In ancient times, back in my town there was a myth that if you draw a circle around you, the paranormal forces wouldn’t be able to harm you. The village was remote, population was sparse and travelling mode was by foot or using animals. So, this myth helped the solitary travellers keep moving during lone nights of burning summer.
Indeed, there is wall, a boundary that protects us from all cruelties of world and nurtures our soul; home and our family. Family isn’t a mere relationship between a group of fellows living together. It’s a bond of hearts and connection between souls. It’s not about sharing space or food but falling in lifelong selfless love and building unshakable trust.
Family is happiness.. discover it (if you haven't yet)!
i was going to write something about this being a 'curtain' and I changed my mind and then Philipp said this: The sky looks great behind that curtain of branches.
That is so cool because those were my exact thoughts... I am standing behind a curtain.
In Judiasm there was a thick heavy curtain that separated man from the Holy of Holies (the place where God dwelt)and only the High Priest could go in once a year to atone for the sins of the people. When Jesus died on the cross this curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Now the way to the Father is wide open. Access is available
When I took this photo I was thinking about how available He is...
I am standing behind the curtain...close to His heart. That is why it is called Trust.
Once upon a time we trusted our lives to them, now they're discarded, past their best and left decay in the corner of a field.
Tread Gently! Black Circles Sleeping.

Looking to the side of the main house that looks out to the South . Behind where I am standing the ground drops away into a valley and is quite a suntrap ( when it shines of course !! ) .
‘This is a delicious house…’ remarked Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on her honeymoon at Polesden Lacey. This country retreat, with glorious views across the Surrey Hills, was home to formidable Edwardian hostess Mrs Greville. Marvel at the glittering Saloon, designed to impress kings and maharajahs, or admire her extensive art and porcelain collections.
There has been a house at Polesden Lacey since at least the C12 but the first house whose appearance is known was built for the Rous family and completed by 1631. The estate was purchased by Arthur Moore, an economist and politician, in 1723 and his son, William, extended the house between 1735 and 1748. The Moores probably began the construction of the Long Walk or Terrace, which overlooks the park. The Sheridan family purchased the estate in 1797 and the house was in ruins by c 1814, when Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the playwright and politician, pulled most of it down with the intention of rebuilding it. However it was left to Joseph Bonsor, a stationer and bookseller, who purchased the estate in 1818, to rebuild the house to the designs of Thomas Cubitt. Bonsor was also responsible for planting thousands of trees, and renovating the garden, park, and estate. Sir Walter Farquhar purchased the estate in 1853 from the Bonsor family, and he enlarged the house between 1853 and 1870, preserving most of Cubitt's structure. Farquhar's house was in turn rebuilt in 1903-5 by Ambrose Poynter for Sir Clinton Dawkins, a civil servant and financier, who owned Polesden Lacey between 1902 and his death in 1906. Mrs Greville and her husband, Captain the Hon Ronald Greville, bought Polesden in 1906 and commissioned Mewes and Davis to alter the house. Ronald Greville died in 1909 but Mrs Greville continued to own Polesden Lacey until 1942, during which time she entertained Edward VII and other members of the royal family there. The Polesden Lacey Estate was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1942, and the house and garden were rearranged for public opening. The National Trust continue (2000) to own and manage the estate.
Mixed media spread in my new art journal. My Word for 2013: Trust. It found me, and I loved it and lived it.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and
he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the
Lord and shun evil. This will bring health
to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5-8
Here's some rust for ya!

On the edge of the National Trust's Malham Tarn Estate, Janet's Foss is of particular conservation importance.
Foss is the old Scandinavian word for a waterfall or force. According to legend, Janet (or Jennet) queen of the local fairies, lives in a cave behind the waterfall. The cave was formed by limestone bedrock being dissolved and eroded by the action of water and then re-deposited on mosses growing at the lip of the fall. This has caused the remarkable but fragile tufa screen, which reaches to the plunge pool below.
Many years ago, the pool below the waterfall was used as a sheepwash. Sheep were driven into the water and washed before shearing in late June.
The latest addition to the miscellany. This is common sight this time of year. Chickadees are fascinating little creatures with complex behaviour and amazing adaptations. I will never get tired of being able to lure them in this close. To learn more, check out my latest blog entry: wp.me/p10non-6N
The Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT) in Burscough will be holding its annual Open Day event on Sunday July 30th to raise funds for the upkeep of its fleet of over 50 historic vehicles.
This is a rare and unique opportunity to see the vast collection of buses (and a train) in various stages of restoration.
The event is also aimed to attract new members, volunteers, sponsorship and generate interest within the community.
This year’s event will feature bus rides around the surrounding area, serving local pubs, several scenic West Lancashire villages and supporting local businesses.
There will be numerous vehicles on display including visiting vehicles from other preservation groups, sales stands and talks given about the group’s latest projects and how people can become involved.
The MTT and the Annual Open Day is run entirely by volunteers and the MTT is always keen to see more people actively involved as well as to see the associated skills base that goes with this expanded.
Light refreshments will be available with all proceeds going to the charity and entry is free. A souvenir programme and guide to the day will be available and any donations you would like to make to the group would be most welcome which will go towards the continued restoration and safe keeping of the unique collection.
The event will be held at the MTT’s base off Tollgate Road, Burscough, L40 8TG.
Free car parking will be available with a free park & ride bus service connecting the two sites.
A free shuttle service will also run connecting the event to Ormskirk & Burscough Bus/Rail Interchanges.
Doors open from 10.30until 4.30pm.
