On Tuesday 1st June 2021 I was lucky enough to see Ricky Gervais filming series 3 of his Netflix comedy-drama After Life on Hemel Hempstead’s old town High Street! They were filming in The Tea Tree Café for episode 3 of series 3. Both Ricky and his co-star Tony Way who plays Lenny were visible on location, along with Tom Andrews who was also in the scene.
After Life was created, written, produced and directed by Ricky Gervais, who also plays the lead character, Tony Johnson. As well as Ricky and Tony Way, the series also stars Tom Basden, Diane Morgan, Penelope Wilton, David Bradley and Ashley Jenson. It’s a very different series to Ricky’s previous work, dealing with the themes of death and suicide but it has helped people deal with their own grief and dark times which is why Ricky has written a third series for the first time. It is a dark series, but it’s also bloody funny! If you have access to Netflix I’d definitely recommend it
Weeping Tea-tree, a species of Leptospermum. Prince Edward Park, Woronora NSW Australia, October 2011.
The amber coloured waters of the Gordon River (visible here lower left) are caused by leaching from surrounding peat substrate. The marshy wetlands support vegetation communities such as buttongrass, tea-tree scrub and rainforest. The influence of the tannins extend into the Macquarie Harbour, home to a substantial part of Tasmania's salmon farming industry.
Foundation stone 17 Mar 1856 by Fr Michael Murphy, opened 11 Jul 1858 with small sanctuary, nave of 5 bays & 2 narrow side aisles. Extensions (sanctuary, Lady Chapel, side chapel & sacristy), designed by Charles Hanson of Clifton, supervised by George Kingston, opened 11 Nov 1860. Extensions (eastern side) foundation stone 7 Nov 1886 by Bishop Reynolds using a “handsome trowel made of Silverton silver with a Burra malachite handle, chastely worked”, architect E. J. Woods, dedicated 15 Aug 1887. Extensions (western side & northern end of tower & present facade), foundation stone 21 Oct 1923 by Archbishop Spence, architect W H Bagot, opened Apr 1926. Corner stone of bell tower laid 18 Sep 1887, lower part built 1923-26, completed 1996 enabling dedication 11 Jul 1996. Finished building has 7 bays, 7 side windows, 7 doors.
“On the arrival of Dr. Murphy to take possession of the new See of Adelaide he found no ecclesiastical building in existence and was glad to secure the use of a vacant shop, formerly used by a blacksmith. In this he celebrated Mass until the school room at St. Patrick's West Terrace, was erected. . . In March, 1856, work was commenced. . . In July, 1858, the portion then complete, consisting of about 80 feet of the nave and aisles, was blessed and opened by the Very Rev. Fr. Smyth, V.G., the Bishop having died a few weeks previously, and been buried in the unfinished church.” [Southern Cross 26 Oct 1923]
“The structure is designed on the model of Byland Abbey Church, Yorkshire, which is in the early English style of architecture. . . The structure will consist of uncoursed stone rubble, with cut stone facings of fine freestone from Teatree Gully. The foundation stone, from the same quarry . . .” [Register 18 Mar 1856]
“The wall of the eastern aisle was taken down and rebuilt about 12 feet further out, thus giving an extra space of about 1,200 square-feet. In consequence of the increased width of the aisle through this extension the character of the roof of this portion of the building has been completely changed, and instead of being a plain lean-to, it has been broken into a number of pitched or valley roofs, with gables at the ends, the portion next to the nave wall being hipped to give light to the clerestory windows. . . The whole of the dressings, both inside and outside, are of Murray Bridge freestone. . . Mr. E. J. Woods, the architect, has superintended the work. [Register 25 Jul 1887]
“Dr. Reynolds therefore consulted while he was in England, with the famous firm, Pugin & Pugin, the greatest authorities then living on the remodelling and reconstruction of Gothic structures. They provided Dr. Reynolds with sketches of the proposed enlargement of the Cathedral, which were placed in the hands of the late Mr. E. J. Woods, who completed drawings of the alterations on the new lines. . . During the operations St. Francis Xavier's Hall was used as a church.” [Southern Cross 26 Oct 1923]
The architectural blot caused by the disproportion between the aisles is to be removed by extending the western aisle to the same width as the eastern; and the base of the tower, the front of the church, and a new choir gallery will be built The spire of the tower, the new sacristies and sanctuary, the chapter room, and other works at the rear will be left for the future.” [Southern Cross 12 Oct 1923]

This natural handmade cold process shampoo bar was created with saponified oils of shea butter (moisturizing without greasing), coconut, olive, and palm. A LOT of essential oils of Rosemary, Peppermint, and Tea Tree have been added to keep your hair super strong and healthy.
I use this shampoo bar all the time and will never use anything else because it makes my hair so soft, shiny and it grows really fast too. I do not use conditioner with this, but you may or may not need conditioner. I personally just use a detangling spray when I get out of the shower...

THE LADY CHAPEL
Consecrated 7 Apr 1904, architect Mr.-E. J: Woods. When the chancel wall was demolished, the 2 triple windows (created by Wailes & Co 1876) were removed and given to Holy Trinity Adelaide and St Bartholomew’s Norwood. The new apse formed the Lady Chapel, funds being donated by Priscilla Simms in memory of her husband Dean Alfred Simms. Three new triple windows designed by John William Brown of Powell & Sons, Whitefriars were donated by Robert Barr Smith. The 2 windows removed had been dedicated to Bishop Augustus Short and Dean James Farrell & his wife Grace Montgomery; as are two of the new windows in the Lady Chapel.
“The builders are now engaged in laying the foundations of the lady chapel that is to be built behind the Cathedral out of a donation made by Mrs. Alfred Simms. Already the great north-western wall of the Cathedral has been pulled down, and the men have nearly finished excavating the vestries beneath the chapel. Two massive stone piers, three lofty archways, and a reredos 30 ft. high, will occupy the site of the old wall. The lady chapel will be in the shape of an octagon. It is to be built of Teatree Gully brown stone, with Murray-bridge freestone dressings.” [Advertiser 7 Feb 1903]
“lady chapel . . is the gift of Priscilla Simms, in grateful recognition of the gracious goodness of God and in memory of her husband, Alfred Simms. [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]
“St. Peter's Cathedral . . . The spires to the Cathedral were built as the result of a donation of £10,000 by Mr. Barr Smith . . . [He] has also given three windows. . . The lady chapel and vestry are the gift of Mrs Simms, who is also giving a reredos.” [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]
“The walls of the chapel are built mainly of brick, faced on the inside with dressed Murray River freestone, and externally with Teatree Gully freestone.” [Chronicle 2 Apr 1904]
“The question of stained glass for the central window was settled by Mr. Barr Smith generously offering to be responsible for the expense. Then a difficulty arose. Owing to the improvement in the art of staining glass which has taken place during the last quarter of a century, and other causes, the central window would be so greatly superior to those between which it would be placed that the harmonious effect of the whole would, be destroyed, and it would seem hardly on honour to the memory of Bishop Short and Dean Farrell that they should be represented by windows which would appear so inferior. The question then resolved itself into how to preserve the memorials to the late Bishop and Dean, and at the same time get over the difficulty which the stained glass presented. Mr. Barr Smith again generously came to the rescue, and offered to give new glass for all three windows, stipulating in the most emphatic terms that the two side windows were to be memorials to the late Bishop Short and Dean Farrell, and should bear the same inscriptions as at present.” [Register 1 Dec 1900]

The rapid development of Wayville as a residential suburb has created a need for a public hall in which meetings and social gatherings could be held. At present the only building available for these purposes is a small room at the rear of the Baptist Church, which is too small for comfort.
Sketch plans of the proposed building have also been prepared. It is suggested that the building should consist of a capacious concert hall, a reading room, and a committee room. [Ref: Register 29-7-1904]
It was resolved that a building to be called the Wayville Institute, should be erected on the block of land which had been placed under offer to the committee by the South Australian Company for that purpose. [Ref: Register 1-8-1904]
In July last a meeting of residents of Wayville was held to consider a proposal to erect an institute in the district. At that meeting a financial scheme was formulated by Mr A S Hopkins (secretary), which provided for the issue of £200 worth of debentures of the value of £1, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent., to be redeemable at the end of eight years.
A block of land was obtained from the South Australian Company, and it was decided to erect a building, which, together with furniture and piano, was to cost about £650. Over £70 worth of scrip as taken up immediately, and on Thursday afternoon, when the Premier (Hon J G Jenkins) formally declared the building open, and incidentally inaugurated a three days' fair in aid of it, only £40 of the £200 was wanting.
From the inception of the scheme the residents enthusiastically supported it and have now every reason to be proud of the results of their efforts. The hall, which is built of freestone, with cement facings, measures 50 x 33 ft, and has a room at the back 32 x 14 ft for committee, literary society, football, and any other small meetings. Although at present in an unfinished state, the edifice possesses a fine appearance, and is a valuable acquisition to the architecture of the neighbourhood.

Myrtaceae - Australia
Tea Tree
Shown: Foliage
"Leptospermum is a genus of about 80-86 species of plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent; but one species extends to New Zealand, another to Malaysia, and L. recurvum is endemic to Malaysia.
"They are shrubs or occasionally small trees, reaching 1-8 m tall, rarely up to 20 m, with dense branching. The leaves are evergreen, alternate, simple, sharp-tipped, and small, in most species not over 1 cm long. The flowers are up to 3 cm diameter, with five white, pink or red petals." (Wikipedia)
