43 fruit trees on the map
and I have another 15 in a separate area next to the house. Good to keep a track on things.
So that is 68 fruit trees in total. I *think* I have finished planting fruit trees on my ground now unless some of these trees die. The area to the East of the new orchard is stonier ground and is where I have been working on making it into a perennial meadow.
I have 6 apple trees that are unknown "UK" (the label had come off at source prior to me getting the trees) but I know these are all heritage Irish varieties grafted by Seedsavers or by Kieran Breen. Hopefully a project in a few years time to make positive ID on these varieties.
And I also have "Rostrevor", Scion collected by Kieran Breen from a tree in Rostrevor that had nice eating apples - It was probably a planted apple tree rather than a novel pippin.

When you spin an egg shape object, the energy you add to the total system allows the unstable equilibrium, that is the pointy bit of the egg, to be somewhat favorable and therefore the egg 'flips' to spin at its top.
My first ever sighting of this large orbweaver, sat at the highest point of what must have been a 10 foot long web from the almost the top of a 7 foot cross, down to the heather. The largest spider in the UK to have those prominent abdominal tubercules
STS028-152-152 Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada August 1989
The angular looking peninsula that extends into the Gulf of St. Lawrence is west of Stephenville, one of Newfoundland’s many fishing villages. Stephenville is the small light colored area along the northeast coast of St. George Bay, the larger bay south of the peninsula. The smaller bay northeast of the peninsula is Port-Au-Port Bay. The larger lighter colored areas near the coast and north of Stephenville are known as the Lewis Hills. They appear to be areas where the natural vegetation has been removed by mining, logging, or forest fires.

Sant Fruitós
Sant Fruitós de Llofriu (o Sant Fructuós de Llofriu) és una església situada al centre del municipi de Llofriu, al Baix Empordà. Està inclosa en l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.
Ja esmentada en un testament de l'any 1121, va dependre del priorat de Santa Anna de Barcelona fins a la desamortització (primer terç del segle XIX). Durant el segle xiv consta documentalment com a depenent de la parròquia de Palafrugell.
L'actual edifici de l'església és obra de mitjan segle xviii, reconstruïda sobre l'antiga d'estil romànic, de la que només en queden els vestigis d'un grup de peces de ferro clavetejades als batents de fusta de la porta.
Descripció
Retaule elaborat per Pau Costa. Imatge que es conserva al Mas Tell
L'església de Sant Fruitós de Llofriu està situada a la part més enlairada del nucli. És un edifici d'una nau amb capelles laterals, absis poligonal i coberta de teula a dues vessants. A l'exterior hi ha contraforts laterals entre les capelles. La porta d'accés és a la façana de migdia, amb pilastres adossades i llinda, i s'hi accedeix a través d'una petita plaça que es troba elevada respecte del nivell del terra del nucli. És una obertura senzilla, d'arc rebaixat, sense decoració. El campanar s'eleva a l'angle nord-oest de l'edifici; és de base quadrada, i presenta arcs de mig punt i coronament amb arcs.[1] La construcció és de pedres sense treballar i grans carreus angulars. Al Sud Est de l'edifici s'adossa la sagristia. En una làpida col·locada a l'exterior del mur de capçalera, ja molt esborrada, s'hi llegeix “3 Maig 17(6)2”. A la llinda d'una finestra de la sagristia hi ha gravat l'any 1751.[2]
Durant la Guerra Civil espanyola fou destruït un retaule de l'altar major d'estil barroc. No se'n coneixia l'autor però segurament va ésser fet sota la influència de l'escultor Pau Costa i del seu deixeble Josep Pol. Es guarden fotografies del retaule a l'Arxiu Municipal de Palafrugell.[3]
Història
La nau des de migdia
El lloc de “Lofrid” és citat l'any 1062 com a possessió directe del comte.R. Berenguer I. A la Segona meitat del segle xii hi tenia propietat l'abadia de Sant Feliu de Guíxols. A finals del segle xii Alfons el Cast llegà Palafrugell i el seu terme a l'rdre del Sant Sepulcre; el 1250 el priorat de Santa Anna de Barcelona, de dita ordre, en rebé el domini efectiu. L'església és documentada des de 1121, en el testament del clergue Berenguer Amat.[2]
Durant el s.XIV era sufragània de Palafrugell. Esdevinguda independent a principis del s.XVI, tingué com a sufragània Esclanyà.[3]
Actualment el fons documental es troba custodiat per l'Arxiu Diocesà de Girona que ha microfilmat i digitalitzat el fons i n'ha cedit una còpia a l'Arxiu Municipal de Palafrugell.

Frankendael House, the location for the fountain beneath which was the crypt in which Omega's TARDIS was concealed. Filming took place here on 5 May 1982. Scroll down for screenshots.
The 1983 Doctor Who story Arc of Infinity starred Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. Location filming took place in Amsterdam in early May 1982.
"As Amsterdam rapidly grew from the 16th to early 18th century, the real estate in the city became so expensive, that rich people who wanted to enjoy a bigger property had to move further from the capital. The Park Frankendael (7 acres) in East Amsterdam, was originally one of these wealthy estates. The entrance to the park with an old ornamented gate is at the Middenweg, less than one mile (1300m) from the Tropenmuseum, driving out of the city. The beautiful old land house Frankendael (built in 1659) is visible from the street – it is one of the few of these estates remaining in Amsterdam."

"The only place remaining in the Watergraafsmeer was founded in 1660 by Nicolaas van Liebergen. In 1695 the country estate became the property of Izaak Balde, who had a formal garden behind the house. In 1733 he had the house expanded and decorated to the current two-storey building with basement.
"The truncated hip roof has a viewing platform with balustrade. The façade with angular avenues and a pronkrisalite in rich Louis XIV style is flanked by single-storey buildings. After 1799 A. Dull enlarged the country estate by purchasing adjoining homesteads, and in 1835 C. Poot established the country estate as a 'place of refuge for decent residents of the capital'. In 1867 Frankendaal was bought by the Royal Dutch Horticulture Company 'Linnaeus' for the founding of a horticultural school and trade nursery, which was taken over by the municipality of Amsterdam in 1882 and arranged as a municipal nursery. The house was restored in 1951.
"At the front is a fountain with shell-shaped basin and statues of flood gods: Amphitrite and Neptune with Arion on a dolphin in between. This fountain, made in 1714 by Ignatius van Logteren for the country estate Driemond, was transferred in 1770 by order of Jan Gildemeester. In 1783 he had the entrance gate placed in Louis XVI style after a design by Jacob Otten Husly. On an island in the garden is an early-19th-century hermitage, commissioned by A. Dull. From 1960 onwards, public areas have been set up by J. Jongsma on the site."

I first saw All Saints from under the eaves of King's Wood up on the downs. It was a misty morning and All Saint's towers was showing through the autumnal mist.
I had been meaning to go here for some time. The church is situated off the Canterbury to Ashford road, about half a mile up a dead end lane near, I guess, a country house.
I parked up, and went into the church yeard, and instantly the unusual layout of the church was clear, as was the brick flying buttress in one corner.
I did not hold out much hope of finding it unlocked, but then the churchwardens arrived to remove the flowers from the harvest festival.
"would you like to go inside?" they asked. Indeed I would.

A connoisseur's church built in the thirteenth century by a man called Adulphus to replace a Saxon church. About a hundred years later the church was substantially enlarged under Sir Thomas Aldon, a courtier of Edward III. Stained glass shields of the King and associated Kentish families still survive as part of the fantastic East window where the upper lights actually follow the curve of both the external arch and the arch of the three main lights below. How fine it must have looked when completely glazed in stained glass. The south porch has a rare fireplace - showing that it may have been adapted to cater for pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. Of the same date is the fine screen and possibly the floor tiles. In the north transept is a good example of late fifteenth century wall painting. It depicts the Trinity and is set in a series of decorative frames. Regrettably the dove - central to the story as representative of the Holy Spirit - has long disappeared.

All Saints' Church, is a 13th-century pilgrims'[1] Grade I listed church[2] in Boughton Aluph near Ashford, Kent.[3] It is part of the Church of England.[1][4]
Built in the thirteenth century by a man named Adulphus to replace a Saxon church, it was enlarged in the 14th century by Sir Thomas Aldon, one of Edward III of England's courtiers.[3] The building was restored in 1878.[2] On 27 November 1957, the Church was placed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, as a Grade I building.[2] In the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was extensively renovated, including the cleansing and restoration of the windows in 2009.[1] The Church continues to be an active centre for worship, and is part of the United Wye Benefice. Every June, the building is used to host the Stour Music Festival.
The present chancel and chapel are from the 13th century, with 15th century East Windows and a 17th-century porch. Most of the remainder of the church originates from the 14th century. The nave, aisles, transepts and crossing were all built together, between approximately 1329 and 1361 (based on heraldic evidence).
The church is primarily built from flint and rubble, with rubble and ashlar dressings. The porch and buttresses are brick constructions.
The church consists of a nave, aisles and a chancel. The chapel is in the North-east of the church, a crossing tower with a 2-stair turret. There are north and south porches. Both the chancel and the chapel are at a lower level than the transepts and crossing, with steps leading down to the east.
The West and North transept windows have a curvilinear design - as did the former south transept window - of 4 lights with cinquefoil over. The North aisle has two 3-light windows in brick while the South aisle has two 3-light windows in curvilinearstyle, all in plain chamfered surrounds. In the North chapel, there are two lancets to the west, and two paired lancets with quatrefoils over to east, while the chancel has a 3-light Perpendicular window and a 2-light curvilinear window on the south wall. The chancel east window is a 5-light perpendicular window, while the chapel east window is a 4-light perpendicular window. All of the windows possess the original reveals, as do all of the doors. The chancel south wall has two blocked window openings: the westernmost one is blocked by the stair turret while the easterly one is cut through by 14th century curvilinear window.[2]
The South Transept window is a work of art commissioned in 2002, which replaced the original windows which was damaged by incendiary bombs in the Second World War.[1][5] The window had been bricked up and concreted over in 1952.[5] The money to pay for the new window was raised by the Stour Music Festival Appeal Fund in memory of its founder Alfred Deller and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Festival.
The West door is made of 18th century plank in a 14th-century roll-moulded surround between two large offset buttresses. The North door is a 17th-century plank with door-width plain metal hinges. The South door has been plastered over.
The nave has 4 bays with octagonal piers on moulded bases. The arches are double-chamfered. The crossing piers are a continuation of the nave arcade, although on a slightly larger scale, with crossing arches. All of the piers are made from chalk blocks. Over the west and the north doors, there are angular 4-centred arches. The arcade to the chancel has 3 round piers, various moulded and undercut capitals and 'water-holding' bases. The arches are similar double-chamfered ones as seen in the nave. The same style of arches are also used in the nave, and in the transept crossing arches.
