Tip 1: It is not a secret anymore!
At the moment that I discovered The Secret I realized that I had been living my entire life backwards. If things were good in my life, I was happy. If things were difficult in my life and everything was going wrong, I was stressed and miserable. In my...

I found these for less than a third of what they're supposed to cost, and they arrived a week before they were expected. I love the idea of changeable points, and can't wait to see how they are in practice. I have no idea what I might knit on these sizes of needles, but whatever, I'll just have to start something new I guess.

No se tiene noticia del momento de creación de Leyre. La primera referencia escrita es del año 848 de la mano de San Eulogio de Córdoba. Parece que arranca del Renacimiento Carolingio sobre la base de algún centro de vida anacorética en la falda de la montaña, como fue habitual en el momento y la zona.
Hacia 851 se documenta el traslado a Leyre de los cuerpos de las Santas Nulino y Alodia. A las que se profesó una gran devoción. Antes del final del siglo IX se estableció el monasterio femenino de San Cristóbal de Leyre a unos quinientos metros.
En el siglo X uno de los abades más significativos fue San Virila. Aunque no fue una abadía real, si que estuvo muy vinculada a la realeza navarra como patronato regio y panteón real de algunos reyes anteriores a 1079.
En los últimos años del siglo X el monasterio fue expoliado y quemado en una de las incursiones de Amir al-Mansur (Almanzor). La quema de este tipo de edificios era fácil, ya las cubiertas de las iglesias eran de madera. Pero los muros se mantenían en pie, por lo que fue fácil su reconstrucción, y los muros de la iglesia se acoplaron a la actual cabecera.
El siglo XI fue el de hegemonía y preponderancia de Leyre sobre el resto de monasterios de Navarra bajo la protección de Sancho III el Mayor, hasta el advenimiento de los reyes aragoneses en 1076, gracias a donaciones y rentas.
Sancho III impulsó la introducción de la reforma cluniacense. La Regla de San Benito se introdujo en la observancia monástica de Leyre, aunque sin integrarse en la Orden Cluniacense y constituyéndose una congregación de monasterios alrededor de Leire (Ordo de Leyre). En el momento de impulso del Camino de Santiago, Leyre dedicó atención a los peregrinos jacobeos en punto estratégicos de su itinerario por Navarra.
En 1057 se produce la primera consagración de la Iglesia, que había ampliado la primitiva iglesia mozárabe carolingia con los ábsides y la cripta que pueden admirarse. Se introduce el estilo románico, pero alejado de las formas del momento.
En 1098 se produce una segunda consagración de la Iglesia, después de haber procedido a derruir la iglesia mozárabe y sustituirla por una nave románica más amplia y larga y a la construcción posterior de una gran portada que recibirá el nombre de “Porta Speciosa”. En aquel momento fue la iglesia más larga del reino, con 47,30 metros de largo.
A partir de 1134, aumenta el poder de Pamplona y se inicia el declive de influencia y del poder de Leyre. La anexión de Navarra a la Corona de Castilla en 1515 supuso un cambio importante para Leyre, que había estado siempre vinculado a los reyes de Navarra, pues redujo su influencia y apoyos.
La desamortización de Mendizábal de 1836 supuso el abandono durante 25 años del Monasterio, lo que causó su ruina. A partir de 1863 se inicia la recuperación de las ruinas y desde 1954 está ocupado por monjes benedictinos provenientes del Monasterio de Silos.
En este lote ha habido varios deslizamientos pequeños que no dejaron víctimas mortales.

Study Tip: Recognize your irrational ideas about studying and replace them with more helpful ideas. #study #studytip
A portion of "Our Lady Of The Conscious Optics" by Clare Stephenson. Taken at the "Newspeak: British Art Now" exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2010.
I use a discarded yogurt container lid for my adhesive. Once I'm finished for the day, it dries and easily peels off the next time I begin work. Keeps things tidy and I like that.
Brushes: I use one brush to 'back butter' the tessarae with glue and the other brush for clean up when the glue squishes out where it's not supposed to go.
The black container with sponge is what I keep around when I'm working. I can dip my cleaning brush in the water to remove drips. I use the sponge to wipe off the drying glue off of my brush as it tends to glop after awhile. I can also drop gluey tessarae that I decided not to use at that moment.
You can as well use sharp tip scissors for cutting between the stitching lines - leave the top layer of the blanket intact.

It's the weekend.
Again.
And for a change, we have nothing planned, though plans would be formed through the day.
I laid in bed until half seven, then up for coffee and breakfast.
What to do with the day?
Well, book a tip run as Jools has been trying to rid the garden of the Rosy garlic, and the plan became, drop me off at Tesco to go shopping while she went to the tip.
I'll be frank: Tesco was mad. Not helped by the brainless blocking shelves and aisles either talking or checking their not so smart phones.
Time in store doubled as Tesco decided to hide the celery.
Put it with the salad?
Hell no.
Next to the peppers?
Too easy.
At the end of the aisle next to the strawberries.
Obvs.
Outside, Jools was waiting, so we loaded the car and drove home, where I see, whilst reversing, our verbascum has a good colony of Mullein moth caterpillars hungrily munching their way through leaves and stems.
Non.
Nom.
Nom.
After parking up, I grab the camera and go to take shots of the hungry fellas.
We have breakfast, or was it lunch? I lose track.
Soon, we had lunch of Scotch eggs and salad, I announced I was going to Park Gate Down to meet with Jon and Richard.
All other drivers are clearly shit, so I arrived at PGD in a bad mood, but once I saw the open meadow dotted with pink and red orchids, my mood softened.
Jon, Richard and their tour had not yet arrived, so I went to explore, going to snap a few Monkey spikes. In the paddock, I saw a couple clearly looking down, and as I walked towards the second paddock, they were clearly on a closing vector.
We met at the low gate, and they opened with their gambit: Are there Fly Orchids here, we've been looking in the undergrowth.
Now.
I might not know much, but I know something about orchids. Fly, I said, are spit into two sub-species here: woodland and downland, and the downland have grown to thrive in open meadows and downland paddocks.
However.
It has been a dry year, and I haven't seen any for two or three weeks. But, my young padowan, I will join your quest.
Or words to that effect.
I played down the chances, as we moved up the down, I saw no spikes other than the burnt spikes of EPO, the lone Lady, and emerging CSO and Chalk Fragrants.
But no Fly.
I waved in the direction of the furthest slope of the reserve, stating, that's where the most Fly can be found.
Seconds later I saw the first spike, and nearby two or three more.
Hours Huw and his friend had spent looking, and later, on social media he stated that I had saved his holiday.
That, I do not know.
I walked on to snap the Greater Butterfly, and on my way back I head Jon's voice as the tour parked up.
I searched for half an hour for Musk Orchids, but saw no sign, but then Jon and Richard were close, so I went to say "hello".
After greetings, I was asked if I wanted to see a Musk?
I did.
So, soon, Richard picked his way along the down, until the tiny spike of the orchid, and a smaller one next to it came into view.
So easy.
It had taken Jon two hours on Friday to find this, and me an hour earlier that day.
We took turns to snap them, and then someone else, Monika from a nearby village who had never seen a Fly. So, I called her over to see the Musk, then took her along to see a Fly or ten.
I am good.
Plans to meet up the Jon were scrapped as he was ill, and getting worse, so I made my way home.
But it was the very best of days.
And better than on Monday there was no work either.
Yay.
Back home we had Caprese and focaccia, both bought from Tesco, but both good.
There was time for some #Wildflowerhour-ing and have a wine or two as the sun sank behind the yardarm.
Cheers.

Some shameless bit of fly tipping in front of a school where kids walk past. This was happening on a regular basis, where the council would send out trucks to clean up and then a day later someone would come and fly tip yet again.
