A nice atmosphere for me to experience. A restaurant that's quite local with a western feel to it. The food was great too and best of all....air conditioned..LOL

Sunday saw my wife and I escape Sydney's hot humid air for that of the cooling refreshing New South Wales Southern Highlands. Our reason was to attend an auction of the antique effects of a country summer mansion that was being vacated by the owner. While my wife browsed inside, I took the opportunity to wander around the grounds of the estate to satisfy the needs of my shutter button finger which was suffering badly from the effects of lack of recent use.
I came across this and other similar ladies who I noticed had lot numbers attached, so by now she and her sisters will be departing, some even bought by online overseas buyers.
St James' Church at Cooling in North Kent is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It dates from the late 1200s but may replace an earlier Saxon church on the same site. The nave, chancel and the lower part of the tower were built 1280 to 1320AD but the tower did not reach full height until about 1400AD.

Its fame comes from the Victorian period when novelist Charles Dickens lived at nearby Gads Hill. The church is believed to be the inspiration for the churchyard scene in Great Expectations where young Pip meets the convict Magwitch. The 13 child graves near the church door are also believed to be the inspiration for the five graves of Pip's siblings in the same book. These have since become known as 'Pip's Graves'.
Internally the 40-foot long chancel is almost the same length as the 50-foot nave. There is sign of various 19th century restorations while the wooden medieval north door is still hanging on its hinges but the doorway behind is blocked solid. The font is 13th century and probably the oldest item inside the church. The pulpit is made of 18th century material recut in the 19th century. In the chancel the south wall has a sedilia and a rare double piscina. The double piscina dates this area to 1272-1307AD.
A unique feature at Cooling is the vestry wall which is decorated with hundreds of cockle shells. This is probably Victorian and may refer to the scallop shell emblem of St James the Great. An unusual wall memorial on the wall behind the pulpit records the drowning of a seaman who fell overboard off Rio in 1852.
. . . . well at least according to my camera settings :) The sunset did not give the colors I hoped for so I turned around on this not so clear day.

Handcuffs? Is that really necessary?
Who says first aid can't be cool? This cadet from Oriole Division decided his "Actar" needed a better sense of style during CPR training at Acadia July 22. (Capt. Wendy Patterson photo)

I received new antibodies on Wednesday. Unfortunately, when I opened the envelope, everything seem to be crushed. The grey plastic box (called "cool-pack") was supposed to protect the tubes containing my antibodies (we waited nearly 1 month to obtain them).
