BTW, I reveal some fiz-iks secrets here.
Stourhead from the Grotto. I have officially become middle aged and joined the National Trust and got excited about it :)! First trip to Stourhead, what a beautiful place.
I put my trust into you guys in letting you lead the way on this walk…..And now look……We are lost in the deepest jungle miles away from any civilisation ……And to make matters worse…… I swear I caught a glimpse of a python snake in the poison yellow plant undergrowth……And for goodness sake don’t look behind you now, but I swear that is a black widow spider on the gate …..And don’t get me started on the pack Lions I can hear behind the hedge row……Gulps…..Now form a ring of steel around me to protect me from this place and get me back to civilisation as quickly as you can……..What do you mean that I have over exaggerated our problem by calling a worm a snake……A money spider a black widow…..And a herd of dairy cows a pride of lions ……And making a butter cup into a poison plant……And that the facts are, that we are in the Oxfordshire countryside, in middle England……..Ummmmmmmm…….Well okay…….Maybe it was a bit of over reaction on my part……But you should know by now….. That I like to see a pub or two on our walks……And look as I might……I really don’t see one……Do you….No …..I thought not……What that you say…..You have packed a couple of beers in my camera bag for me to sit and enjoy……. That’s great news guys……Now come and sit close with me whilst I enjoy…..And let me say that I never really doubted you guys……As I always knew I could trust a Sheltie to get it right ….
My taxi failed to show (third time my local firm has let me down) so I ended up hacking across London. Just to reduce my anxiety I tried to make sense of WS-Trust.
Feb. 21, 2022: During arm negotiations with the former Soviet Union, Pres. Ronald Reagan was quoted, "Trust but Verify." On Presidents Day, I found the quote being used for Covid-19 restrictions at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library cafeteria in Simi Valley. 56/365
Standing high on the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument, at 175ft, is the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world.
The idea to erect a monument to the Duke of Wellington was first proposed in 1815 following the Duke's victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Following an architectural competition, Thomas Lee Jnr was appointed to design the monument. He proposed a triangular pillar supported on a plinth and surmounted by a massive cast iron statue of the Duke himself. The whole structure was intended to be 140 feet (43m) high.
Funds ran out in a matter of months and building work ceased, by which time the pillar was only 45 feet (14m). When construction eventually resumed it continued in fits and starts for a number of years. By this time public interest in the project had waned and as a result the original design was pared down considerably. It was finished in the 1820s with the pillar the proposed height. The cast iron statue was never commissioned however and so in effect the monument became an obelisk rather than a plinth and statue as originally intended.
Lightning strikes in 1846 and possibly again in the early 1850s caused serious structural damage. Charles Giles, a local architect, declared it a public danger. Giles was instructed to prepare a scheme for the repair and completion of the monument. These events coincided with the death of the Duke of Wellington.
Giles came up with something very different from the original plan. He set out to transform the monument from a statue bearing pillar into the tallest obelisk in Britain.
However by 1892 the monument had again fallen into disrepair. The top of the plinth was rebuilt and the shaft extended to the height we see today. Thereafter it has been subjected to repeated restoration work of a major nature but its character has remained unchanged.
The National Trust took over management responsibility for the monument in 1934.
Work continues on making it fit for the future.
These are the new life's hand and his grandfather's. It's wonderful to see how the baby abandons his hand on the bigger one. The baby's hand and the other one, two generations older, melt together in this simple gesture of trust. Trust should never have barriers.
Estas son las manos de la nueva vida, y la de su abuelo. Es una maravilla ver cómo el niño abandona su mano en esa otra más grande. En este sencillo gesto de confianza se funden la mano del niño y otra, dos generaciones mayor. La confianza no debería nunca tener barreras.
Every trip down the M5 to Devon and beyond, we have seen the NT signs for Tyntesfield and promised ourselves a visit if ever we ended up nearby. Our recent Blue Anchor trip provided just that opportunity. This is the rather imposing view from the gardens.
One of the few surviving heritage buildings in downtown Regina, with a pre-cast concrete office tower hinted at on the left hand side.
He's not just a visitor. He lives in the veranda, near the plants. He loves some old, lazy gloves that talk with him, almost every day.
Set amongst the peaks and slopes of the Derwent Valley, between Rowlands Gill, Gateshead and Burnopfield, County Durham.
The Estate was previously owned by the Bowes-Lyon family. Since 1965 in has been in the ownership of the National Trust.
Gibside differs from many estates in that the main house, although grand, was not the focal point of the estate.
The long walk actually runs from the Column of Liberty to the chapel and the mansion is located to one side.
The house became vacant in the 1920s after death duties forced the Bowes-Lyon family to scale back its lavish lifestyle and give up some of its great houses. The building was stripped of its fixtures and fittings, with many of the fireplaces and other items being transferred to Glamis Castle.
Parts of the structure were demolished in 1958, including the removal of the roof, and the remains are protected by Grade II listed building status.
Parts of the grounds have been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, including a forest garden that is currently under restoration.
There are several outstanding buildings, including a Palladian chapel and others awaiting or undergoing restoration.
The Banqueting House has been in the ownership of the Landmark Trust since 1981, the building having been restored from a derelict shell.
Prospect Tower is a folly on the Cotehele Estate. It has three sides and is 60ft high. When the National Trust was given the Cotehele Estate in 1947 the Trust renovated the tower and constructed a wooden spiral staircase inside, to allow visitors. The Tower was last renovated in 2018 and is still open to the public

The fortunes of the Heathcoat-Amory family were founded in the early nineteenth century. John Heathcoat was born into a Derbyshire farming family in 1783. An inventor of genius, he designed and patented a machine that revolutionised the production of lace. His manufactury near Loughbourough was destroyed by former Luddites paid by unknown persons in 1816, he then moved his basis of manufacture, and a large number of his workers, to Tiverton, Devon and there established a lace-works which, by the later part of the nineteenth century, was the largest lace-producing manufactory in the world.
By the late 19th century, the Heathcoat-Amory family owned much of the manufacturing and land around Tiverton, Sir John Heathcoat-Amory, 1st Baronet chose the site of Knightshayes, because from the site Sir John could see his factory in the distance, nestled in the Exe valley below.
The gardens were designed by Edward Kemp but were much simplified in the 1950s and '60s. Sir John and Lady Heathcoat-Amory undertook much work in the gardens for which they were both awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Victoria Medal of Honour. The estate includes a rare stické court dating from 1907. Other features include the extensive topiary, specimen trees, rare shrubs and the stables and walled kitchen garden, also by Burges.

"Motomo, unlike the other wolves at the UKWCT, was only hand-reared for the first two weeks of his life. While at first he was shy and wary his confidence with humans is growing and while he isn't comfortable, he isn't so timid of human attention either. One of our largest wolves, he has striking markings and is a most photogenic animal"
Taken from UK Wolf Conservation Trust site.
Definitely agree with him being the most photogenic. He was a really handsome guy
I begin to think of trust is a lot like a flower. Beautiful, unique & delicate. Once the petals fall, its hard to recreate that same exact flower. Like when a trust is broken its often difficult to repair. It can happen, but it takes time.
Also like a flower, trust takes time to grow. To gain roots, stems and leaves before it is in full bloom. And I think its okay for us to take the time to trust others - especially people that are close. We water the flowers, like we water our trust. Reassuring the other person and giving them reasons why they can trust us.
It can be a delicate journey - building trust between people, but when done right, it turns into something beautiful.
