Chillicothe, IL, At first I thought it was a used car lot, but it turned out to be a bar. In vino veritas, I guess.

In 1855, on the advice of Ruskin, the courtyard was roofed in and given Italian arcades on square pillars and an arched gallery, the architect being John Dobson of Newcastle. The walls on north and south, pillars and spandrels were all painted. The eight large paintings completed 1856-61 are by William Bell Scott, a Newcastle follower of the Pre-Raphaelites.

So we've just finished an epic roadtrip for Dogs Trust where we painted 12 walls in 12 cities in 12 days for their annual 'A dog is for life, not just for christmas' campaign. Each day had a different dog and featured a real (and entirely ridiculous) reason that a dog had been handed in to one of their rehoming centres.
Newcastle was next up and we were painting at the Sage centre in Gateshead. Our design featured a dog that was handed in for barking in the morning. Poor little pup. Our model for the day was adorable lurcher pup Haribo who was just about as cute as could be...
Cheers

I decided to visit this National Trust run, place on the 3rd August 2018. Take the A3057 out of Romsey you will see a sign for Mottisfont about 3½ miles out of Romsey. They had a large car park which was free to visitors. It was in the middle of the heat wave we were having in Britain at the time and so many people were there with the kids because it was, school holidays also. Mottisfont Abbey and with the house is a historical priory and country estate in Hampshire, England. The Abbey sections were like a cellar building below the main part of the house and was so cool in the strong heat of summer outside. Sheltering in the valley of the River Test, the property is now operated by the National Trust. About 350,000 people visit each year. The site includes the house museum, regularly changing art exhibitions, gardens and a river walk. It is a Grade I listed building and next to the house is a fantastic Cafe area.
Mottisfont Abbey has wonderful grounds to complement the house itself. There are areas of wooded shade, a walk along the River Test, enough lawned area for many picnics and magnificent and pungent rose gardens, particularly on early summer evenings. On visiting Mottisfont you will be just as likely to encounter families with small children as you will a coach party or two of tourists. On a summer's day, Mottisfont is a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the busy city of Southampton and market town of Romsey, both nearby and with their own attractions to occupy your time..
In the summer months they often hold theatre productions outside, and at different times of the year, there are specific trails, mainly but not totally aimed at children, for example at Easter, Halloween, Christmas etc. There are several places around the grounds where you can buy refreshments and drinks, a modern National Trust shop has been built here along with an ice cream parlour and exhibition space. A new Visitor Centre was finally finished in early 2016. If you are walking The Test Way, which passes through Mottisfont and around the Abbey grounds, you will see the main house from the rear as you pass through fields along the northern boundary. While walking along this river walk I managed to see a Grass snake or water snake swimming in the very clear waters of the River Test.
The Black Death struck this initially prosperous priory and so it suffered from the mid - 14th century onwards as many places did when this terrible disease attacked so many people. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the then King Henry VIII, the priory was dissolved and the king gave Mottisfont and its grounds to a favoured statesman, Sir William Sandys a Knight of the Garter, who turned it into a country home. Sections of the original medieval church may still be seen, with the later additions built around them. This feels uneasily spooky in here being so old, damp, and a feeling of nostalgia so to speak by being in such a marvellous building that has stood the test of time.
The Sheldon Room has 3 Flemish tapestries (Oudenarde) depicting the planetary gods. Here Mars and Sol (Sun)
The emperor tamarins also trust their keepers. As I watched, Lexi fed them by hand. They even stood on her arm for a little conversation.

Peckover House & Garden is a National Trust property located in North Brink, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England.
Peckover House was built in 1722 and bought by Jonathan Peckover at the end of the 18th century. Alexander Peckover was created Baron Peckover of Wisbech in 1907. The Peckovers, a Quaker banking family and owners of the Peckover Bank, presented the building to the National Trust in 1948. During the period in which the building was in the ownership of the Peckovers, the building was known as Bank House.
The exterior of the house gives little idea of the elaborate and elegant interior of fine panelled rooms, Georgian fireplaces with carved over-mantels, and ornate plaster decorations.
At the back of the house is a beautiful 0.8 ha (2 acre) Victorian walled garden with interesting and rare trees, delightful summer houses and fruiting orange trees, thought to be 300 years old, roses, herbaceous borders, fernery, croquet lawn and 17th-century reed thatched barn.
Through broken hearts and tortured minds,
we shall live through the divine.
Remembering that terrible then,
past yesterdays sorrow, we shall see again.
A shared hope and trust ,
can give tomorrow a oneness of us.
A test of my brand new/old (38 years) Nikkor 28mm f/4.0 PC non AI lens. I did not have a tripod with me, so I had to hand hold camera and did not have the camera perfectly level and parallel to the building. I can see already that I really will need to carry a tripod any time you carry a perspective control lens.
By the way, I spend a lot of time on the third floor of this building. Now if I was just testing at Moose Falls or Sheepeater Cliffs in Yellowstone right now...

Lahore, October 14, 2017: Today, Bali Memorial Trust inaugurated a new unit and solar energy system in its Technical and Secondary School located in Ladheke Bhullar village in Lahore. Established through a grant awarded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the new unit has three science laboratories and a computer laboratory powered by a renewable energy system. U.S. Consul General in Lahore, Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau led the inauguration and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
While speaking at the event, the U.S. Consul General commented: “Over 500 children, the majority of them girls, attend this school and will benefit from this project. We are proud to work in partnership with the Bali Memorial Technical and Secondary School to extend our celebration of the Day of the Girl Child here today.”
In 1998, Bali Memorial Trust, a Lahore-based charity, established a Technical and Secondary School in Ladheke Bhullar on a plot of land donated by the local community. Today the Trust is providing education and technical training to the resident population.
Since its inception in 2010, USAID’s Small Grants and Ambassador’s Fund Program has supported 343 projects throughout the country, valued at US$36 million and benefiting more than two million people. With support from this fund, assistance to the Bali Memorial Technical and Secondary School has significantly upgraded the school’s infrastructure with new solar panels; 25 computers for the computer laboratory; equipment for the three science laboratories, and technical training workshops.
