A National Trust property undergoing a major roof refit/repair. Excellent idea to include a walkway around the top of the scaffolding to allow visitors to see the roof restoration for themselves.
Visited on a cloudy day so lots of work to get the photographs to look any where near 'good'.

I used to have 2 Huskies that I loved tremendously. I lost them in the break up with my ex. It took me a long time to get back to a place where I wanted another dog, because as every pet owner knows ... grieving takes time.
When I finally felt it was time (and I was ready) to get another dog, I called the local humane society. I'm a big believer in adopting/saving/rescuing. To my delight (and disappointment), they did not have any dogs in their shelter, which is a rarity for almost any animal shelter.
I saw an ad in the local paper for Siberian Huskies. I'm not a proponent of paying a lot of money for dogs as they encourage 'Puppy Mills'. However, the ad said, "cost to cover bills only", so I called the guy. Sure enough, he was only looking to recoup the costs already laid out for vet bills (first shots) and food.
(He raises/races Siberian Huskies, but Alli and her litter came from on of his non-breeding dogs. It seems one of his male dogs got loose one night and romanced one of his 'non-sledder' gals. ;-)
So, I agreed and he arrived at my office with 3 puppies; 2 girls and a boy. The boy looked a little ill from the travel/motion and the other girl was stepping all over her siblings for attention.
Alli wouldn't look at any of us. She turned her back to everyone and sat with her head down, facing the door. From the very beginning, she didn't like people and didn't want anything to do with us.
I knew in an instant she was my girl.
As time went on, my wife, family and friends would often marvel at how so very much alike Alli and I are in personality.
I've never been big into "eerie superstitions", but I cannot help but wonder at the coincidence of it all. A humane society that didn't have dogs available for adoption; an ad in the paper for 'cost-recovery' only; the 'timing' of me deciding it was time to get a dog.
The National Trust use this accessible Iveco minibus FN68 EFR to operate a short free loop around the grounds of Cragside House near Rothbury in Northumberland. The vehicle was new on 2nd January 2019 and at it's last MOT in January 2024 had covered 43,000 miles. It is seen here on the frontage of Cragside House on 26th March 2024.
Driving in Haiti is crazy. This is a narrow (duh) street on our way up to our walled compound. There are no sidewalks, and people could be on either side. The only rule of the road seems to be the bigger vehicle gets the right of way.
On our first day, our bus was met by a pickup truck coming down the hill. Each driver started yelling at the other, and there was a man standing on the street whose head moved back and forth as if he were watching a tennis match. Finally, he started yelling at the pickup driver and motioning him to back up.
Now look carefully at the space above: Can you imagine a bus and a pickup truck side by side? Haitian drivers come much closer to other vehicles and people than I have ever seen in the States. And they weave around each other on bigger roads like nobody's business. Whenever a driver is on a curve, he beeps the horn so that drivers in the other direction know that he is coming.

Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.

"Let us ... remember Peter: three times he denied Jesus, precisely when he should have been closest to him; and when he hits bottom he meets the gaze of Jesus who patiently, wordlessly, says to him: "Peter, don't be afraid of your weakness, trust in Me." Peter understands, he feels the loving gaze of Jesus and he weeps. How beautiful is this gaze of Jesus — how much tenderness is there! Brothers and sisters, let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of God!"
– Pope Francis: (Homily on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, 2013)

The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Field Trip - Roughdown Common - New to Herts Jersey Mocha!
Our last visit of the year to this prolific nature reserve that always springs a surprise on us, and this night was no different.
With a warm South-westerly breeze dominating the weather forecast and lows of a comfortable 15 degrees, we once again decided to run traps on the Boxmoor Trusts land.
The hope was to turn up something unusual for the site or intercept a migrant (for which there were plenty about).
We succeeded on both accounts and star of the show had to go to a worn Maiden's Blush looking moth which Ian Bennell found in the long grass, several feet away from one of my traps.
Passing it around to everyone it just didn't look right for this species and the brain thought of other possibilities which were quickly narrowed down to either a worn Maiden's Blush (likely) a Clay Triple-lines (still quite likely) and then the absurd (Jersey Mocha).
The moth was retained and dissected the next day and I was literally on the edge of my seat awaiting the results back from Graeme Smith. When he said that it is a Jersey Mocha, that inkling to retain the moth was all worth it! Graeme had to promptly get a cup of coffee to calm down as neither myself or he could believe it, another new to Herts this year! And hat's off to Ian Bennell for spotting it and not just discarding it as a worn Maiden's Blush.
Other good species included a pair of Psoricoptera gibbosella (Only my 2nd and 3rd examples in 10 years), Hellinsia carphodactyla (Which was new to me) and Depressria badiella (Which was retained and also dissected by Graeme Smith and a great record for Herts, again NEW TO ME!)
What a fantastic night it was and thanks go out to David, Roger and Ian for helping me make the night a success and for being as eagle-eyed as ever.
