Why is it people seem incapable of taking photos when you ask them to do so but when you do one of them it comes out good??
Sorry about this being blurred beyond blurred sadly this is the best one of the evening well I have one other that might be ok once its ben worked on a little.
Yes I am wearing flats lol. As you can just make out we did have a laugh and the dancing wasn't that bad either. Jamie lead me a few times and I danced with one or two other ladies who weren't getting a dance, the joys of being able to lead and kind of follow.
Any way back to the title. Don't trust anyone to tale a good photo of you if they fancy the man you are stood next to lol
He trusts that I won't put him in scary situations, and I trust that I can ride well enough to not fall off when he jumps sideways when there's a new pile of dirt in the field. Tonight it was a plastic chair in the middle of the ring. He was terrified.

Ce mignon petit Pic mineur s'est laissé approché de très près lors d'un shooting photographique.
I had the chance to get very close to this pretty little Downy woodpecker during a photo session.
This National Trust property is famous for being the ancestral home of the first USA President, George Washington. In fact, Washington DC takes it names from the very village where this building still stands.
It rather lucky that it does stand because it very nearly ended up being demolished, so run down had it become.
By the 19th century, the hall had been divided up into tenement flats and in the years that followed, gradually fell into a state of disrepair. Finally, in 1936, the building was declared to be unfit for human habitation. Luckily, it was saved from being bulldozed by a local school teacher by the name of Fred Hill. Fred formed a group which became known as the 'Friends of Washington Old Hall', whose aims were to save and preserve the building.
Restoration work began, and although it was halted during Word War II, it was finally completed in 1955.
A couple of years later, the National Trust took over management of the building.
INS46 Trust in the Old Harbour at Lossiemouth. Not as old as some of the others, think the transom stern dates its build to the early Seventies.

That is a corner of Knole House in Kent .
Knole feels almost weighed down by its own history – six centuries of it. People are often impressed by all the absolutes of Knole: its enormous size, the number of rooms, its completeness. But those who live, work and visit here love its quiet dignity, its almost melancholy feel – the grandeur has passed but its old, glinting beauty remains.
What we see today is a remarkably preserved and complete early Jacobean remodelling of a medieval archiepiscopal palace. From an even older manor house, it was built and extended by the Archbishops of Canterbury after 1456. It then became a royal possession during the Tudor dynasty when Henry VIII hunted here and Elizabeth I visited.
From 1603, Thomas Sackville made it the aristocratic treasure house for the Sackville family, who were prominent and influential in court circles. Knole's showrooms were designed to impress visitors and to display the Sackville family’s wealth and status.
Over more than 400 years, his descendants rebuilt and then furnished Knole in two further bursts of activity. First, at the end of the 17th century, when the 6th Earl acquired Stuart furniture and textiles from royal palaces, and again at the end of the 18th century, with the 3rd Duke's art collection.
The Sackvilles gradually withdrew into the heart of the house, leaving many rooms unused and treasures covered. This helps to explain the relative lack of modernisation at Knole (central heating was never installed in the showrooms, for example) and the survival of its collections.
Knole has been welcoming visitors to see its splendours and curiosities for centuries. We know that visitors have followed the same route as you do today for at least the last 400 years.
There's a popular myth that Knole is a calendar house - with 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards. While fascinating, the reality is that it all depends on how you count the rooms and Knole is such a large, rambling estate that it would be impossible to say for certain.
When the National Trust acquired the house in 1946, the majority of the rooms were leased back to the Sackville family, with the Trust retaining the more formal spaces. The 7th Baron Sackville and his family still live at Knole today in private apartments.
Now, visitors can experience so many different parts of Knole, from the grand showrooms to the cosy Gatehouse Tower, the tranquil Orangery to the sweeping parkland. Discover the vast estate and all it has to offer, home to a world-class collection of portraits and furniture, a state-of-the-art conservation studio and a wild deer herd. There really is something for everyone at Knole.

Chauncey reclines on the trunk of a fallen tree. She was a little nervous when I first put her up there, settled once I had her lay down. She is filthy black, so I did it in B & W to hide her dirtiness:o) It was so sandy that within minutes she was black.

The Union Trust Building – now 705 Olive Building – with the Wainwright is the last remaining Adler & Sullivan commission in St. Louis. Completed in 1893, its street-level facade, which featured massive and heavily ornamented circular windows at the second story, was considerably altered in 1924. A remnant of the round windows may still be seen on the west-side alley. Largely vacant since 2013, the Union Trust is undergoing a $55 million renovation by Restoration St. Louis. The 140-room Hotel Saint Louis under the Marriott Autograph flag is scheduled to open in late 2018. The top two floors are being turned into 14 apartments.
