St Nicholas, Littleborough, Nottinghamshire.
Churches Conservation Trust.
Grade l listed.
This tiny Norman church lies down a quiet country lane, close to the Trent. It stands near the site of an old Roman fort - they built a military station here by the stone causeway across the river, both now long gone. Roman brick and tile have been used in its walls recalling the empire that brought its civilisation to England almost two thousand years ago.

Our middle cat, TJ must be the most curious feline on the planet. He investigates everything, and wants to see firsthand whatever is going on in our house. He's a good companion to me and my husband, and follows us around and asks to see and smell anything we touch. But when it comes to other people, TJ has no interest. He positively hates when we have guests in our home. He instantly runs and hides and stays hidden until the guests leave, no matter how long that takes. As soon as they are gone, TJ reappears as if nothing has happened.
Except for Bert. Our friend Bert has this mysterious relationship with TJ that no other human besides my husband and I have ever experienced. TJ simply loves Bert, and trusts Bert to be gentle with him and give him quality loving when he visits us.
I captured these pics of Bert and TJ in our hallway on New Year's Eve. TJ had been hiding under the guest room bed, but when he realized it was Bert in the hallway, he came out to greet him and rub his legs, as if to say "Long time no see, buddy!". And I just had to capture the special moment with my camera.
The Devil's Punch Bowl is a large natural amphitheatre and beauty spot near Hindhead, Surrey, in England, and is the source of many stories about the area. The old London to Portsmouth road (the A3) runs along one of its higher contours. The land is now owned and maintained by the National Trust as part of the "Hindhead Commons & The Devil's Punch Bowl Café" property. Hindhead Youth Hostel is located inside the bowl. It was once called Highcombe, after the Celtic term combe, meaning forested valley. The lower part of the bowl is still named Highcombe Bottom. Above the London to Portsmouth road lies Gibbet Hill, Hindhead.
However, local legend has a much more colourful theory as to its creation. According to one story, during the Middle Ages the Devil became so irritated by all the churches being built in Sussex that he decided to dig a channel from the English Channel, through the South Downs, and flood the area. As he began digging, he threw up huge lumps of earth, each of which became a local landmark — such as Chanctonbury Ring, Cissbury Ring, Mount Caburn and Rackham Hill. He got as far as the village of Poynings (an area known as the Devil's Dyke) when he was disturbed by a cock crowing (one version of the story claims that it was the prayers of St Dunstan that made all the local cocks crow earlier than usual). Assuming that dawn was about to break, he leapt into Surrey, creating the Devil's Punch Bowl where he landed.
Another story goes that, in his spare time, he hurled lumps of earth at the god Thor to annoy him. The hollow he scooped the earth out of became the Punchbowl. The local village of Thursley means Thor's place. Such stories are considered to be of Celtic, Norse, and Saxon origin.
It is these stories, the beauty of the area and the diversity of nature it attracts that has gained the Devil's Punch Bowl the title of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This title has recently helped save the Devil's Punch Bowl from redevelopment of the A3 which is needed to relieve traffic congestion in the area, this section of the A3 being only single-carriageway. The National Trust have co-operated with developers who have designed a twin bore tunnel running underneath the surrounding area of the Devil's Punch Bowl. The tunnel will not only preserve the area from the road widening originally proposed but, once complete, will remove the heavy traffic congestion which affects this section of the A3 in peak hours, in turn bringing considerable environmental benefits and tranquillity to this internationally valued area.

I was drinking coffee with Abby yesterday and the postman arrived. Elsie clambered on to the large basket by the window whilst Abby dealt with the post. Then, Abby encouraged Elsie to jump into her arms. Usually Elsie is picked up and swirled round, but this jump required Elsie to trust her mother to catch her before being whirled through the air. By the time I had my camera ready they were on jump 2 or 3 . . . there were about 8 in all. This little series is of the moments in between the jumps

Sometimes it's hard to entrust what's precious to us to God. But God works in the midst of brokenness to bring healing, restore relationships, and work for the good of all who place their trust in God.
Since we fought I been
Healing from the things that happen
And when I'm with you I lie that I'm alright
I never said if I even...
Trust
Sadly enough I can't believe you
Sometimes I do
But when I ask you if your okay
You just say "nothing's wrong"
Why do I feel like something is wrong
Can't you even trust me again?
Trust
Even if you do
I don't
Since the fight I just lost it
Trust
Is the main thing I want
No love, No nothing
Just...
Trust
I need to hear it from you and honesty
Everything else can wait
Trust
I want to hear it please
Tell me the truth...
(poem I made)
West Northumberland. This gentle river caused havoc during the Winter storms and the National Trust have subsequently closed it for public access (or so they thought!)
