Dit jaar gelukkig weer geen Maïs zoals alle voorgaande jaren maar een weidemengsel wat geteeld wordt voor vogelvoer.
Leaves are almost gone from the trees around Cole Mere in Shropshire England. The forty minute stroll around the popular lake exercises all the senses.
RKO_7896. iPhone shot of the Singel canal in Amsterdam.
The Singel is one of the canals of Amsterdam. The Singel encircled Amsterdam in the Middle Ages, serving as a moat around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay, near the Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.
The canal should not be confused with the Singelgracht, which became the outer limit of the city during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. Other Dutch towns also have ring-shaped canals named Singel. The name is related to the Dutch word omsingelen, "to surround", and comes ultimately from Latin cingulum, meaning "belt".
Amsterdam's famous flower market, Bloemenmarkt, is located along the Singel between Koningsplein and Muntplein squares. The market stalls are actually boats floating in the canal.
The Singel is lined by many beautiful, richly decorated canal houses built during the Dutch Golden Age. Notable buildings along the canal include:
A house said to be the narrowest in the world — only one meter wide (admittedly, this is the back of the house; the front is quite a bit wider), at Singel 7.

The original Stanmore church, located on Old Church Lane, was consecrated in the name of St. Mary. It remained the village church until 1632, when it was replaced, and thereafter fell into ruin and was taken down. As of the late twentieth century, a single tomb survived in the back garden of a local house.[1][2]
The 1632 church, located nearer to what had become the village centre, was paid for by merchant Sir John Wolstenholme and consecrated by William Laud, then Bishop of London.[3] It is in red brick.

With growing population, a third church building was constructed in 1850. The 1632 church thereafter was partially demolished and became a ruin; it is now Grade II* listed.[4][5]
Burials in the churchyard include writer W. S. Gilbert and the Prime Minister George Hamilton-Gordon, the Earl of Aberdeen.[6][7]
The present church is built of Kentish rag and Bath stone, and was designed in an Early Decorated Gothic style by the Surrey architect Henry Clutton. It was built by the Lambeth builder George Myers. The church of Saint Mary the Virgin in Ewell had just been completed by Clutton and formed a prototype for St John's.[8] The new church cost £7,855; £1,000 of which had been donated by its rector, Douglas Gordon. Gordon was the son of the Earl of Aberdeen; his lordship had also donated £2,000 to the church.[9] It was consecrated on 16 July 1850 by the Bishop of Salisbury, Edward Denison.[10]
The land on which the church stands was donated by Colonel Hamilton Tovey Tennent. The foundation stone for the new church was laid by the Earl of Aberdeen in the presence of Queen Adelaide, the widow of King William IV. The former queen was resident at Bentley Priory, and this was her last public appearance. Queen Adelaide donated the font to the church and the east window was subsequently dedicated to her memory.[11]
