A visit to the National Trust run Stowe in Buckinghamshire.
Stowe is the creation of many 18th- century landscape designers, architects and craftsmen, and showcases some of Capability Brown's finest work. It's a towering achievement that still influences garden design today.
After early contributions from Sir John Vanbrugh and William Kent, Stowe's first garden designer, Charles Bridgeman, kickstarted the radical transformation away from formality. Lord Cobham funded huge development to create a grand canvas of idealised nature. Grassland, trees, lakes, temples and monuments: all are meticulously constructed to shape perfect views. By the mid-19th century, Richard Temple, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, ultimately aimed to impress Queen Victoria and outdo the neighbouring Claydon estate. This showmanship and rivalry ultimately contributed to bankruptcy.

The Delaware Trust Building, a Classical Revival style commercial/office tower, stands prominently at the northeast corner of E. 9th and N. Market Streets. The building is significant under National Register criterion "C" in the area of architecture for its outstanding example of the Classical Revival style with Renaissance elements in the local context, and as a major work by the architecture firm of Dennison and Hirons, with later large additions modeled after the original design. The period of significance begins in 1921 with the completion of the construction of the Delaware Trust Building and ends in 1930 with the construction of the wings that completed the U-shaped plan.

Koorie are the indigenous people of the south east of Australia. This building on King St (near Flagstaff Gardens which I wandered through after a quick look at Queen Vic markets), has art work exhibitions and this floor of information about aboriginal history, especially in Victoria. Unfortunately there's a lot of sad history (massacres when Australia got invaded when the convicts came, and only very recently the Stolen Generation, children taken from their parents to 'become white' and integrate with white australia, the 'White Australia Policy'.
The Pennypack Trust is a privately owned nature preserve and has eleven miles of woodland, meadow, and creekside trails for hikers of all levels. You can enjoy the rolling hills and spectacular views of the 160-acre Raytharn Farm on the Raytharn Trail, walk through the old-growth forest on The Peak Trail or enjoy the calming sounds and sights of Pennypack Creek on the Creek Road Trail. Our trails offer excellent opportunities for bird watching, photography, tree and wildflower identification or simply enjoying the fresh air and solitude.
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.
The church is currently owned by Limerick Civic Trust.
Saint Munchin’s was built in 1827 to replace a single-celled medieval church on the same site.
I must admit that I had, up until a few years ago, believed that Munchin was not a real name, maybe because I had confused it with the word munchkin. But I learned that I was wrong when I came across St. Munchin’s Church in Limerick City.
The location of this church overlooking the Shannon is situated in Englishtown on what is claimed to be the first site of the ancient cathedral of Limerick, before St Mary’s was built by Donal Mór O’Brien. The significant architectural quality and high state of preservation of the mausolea add greatly to the importance of this church. It is easy enough to find as it is located across the road from King John’s castle.
The graveyard contains many interesting stone grave markers and table-tombs dating from the eighteenth and the nineteenth century. There are a number of fine monuments and mausoleums of old Limerick families such as the Fogertys. There are many plaques demonstrating expressions of 'self-importance'.
The Jones Mausoleum is mentioned in many tourist guides. It is described as a freestanding limestone mausoleum, erected c. 1850

Stella was in dogs trust for 6 weeks, in this time I fell in love with her. She had a terrible skin condition which has now fully cleared up after living in a comfortable home and eating a good diet! Stella brightens up my world, she is always so happy to greet us and loves going out for walks which gets me out of the house and exercising. How can you resist that waggy tail which brings a smile to your face no matter what kind of day you have had!
