Teddy was a black cockapoo who passed on yesterday at the age of 6 years. He belonged to my mother-in-law. I taught Teddy to dance with me when he was a young puppy, and he loved to dance.
He died of liver failure, which the vet said sometimes occurs in that breed of dog. His death was quite unexpected as he only showed signs of sickness for one day.
Rest in peace and know that you are dearly missed my dear friend and dance partner. I love you and will never forget you.
Enjoy this dance song in honor of my canine friend, Teddy. Teddy , let's dance one last time, I'm holding your front paws.
It takes dedication to get out of bed at 4am on a Sunday morning to catch a sunrise, but its sure worth it. Here Olga captures some beautiful reflections at the North Curl Curl tidal pool.

I have always thought that Elmstone was the only Kent church without dedication to a Saint/King or Martyr, but it seems East Farleigh has has St Mary foisted upon it.

I have been inside Emstone church just once before, and it was a fine, sunny Saturday morning, and I remembered a church full of light, pouring through stained glass windows.
But of the rest of the church, I remembered little. I thought the south side of the church was all windows. It isn't.
Visiting the butchers a couple of weeks before, I saw that there was a coffee and scone event happening at Elmstone church.
Which is how we came to be travelling to Elmstone after leaving Sittingbourne.
Its funny, that around Preston, it seems all roads leads to Elmstone, you just have to find the church among the maze of lanes and dykes.
We did find the church, and the churchyard was packed with people on chairs, all eating cream teams; scones, jam and cream.
We had eaten an ice cream in Sittingbourne so were not hungry, but I gave them a tenner for the charity they were raising money for.
I went round getting shots, being careful, as warned, not to get a child in my shots.
The Rood Screen I thought very fine, as was the glass, as before, though an autumnal afternoon this time.

This little known church is an absolute gem but being so close to the greats of Sandwich, Ash and Wingham it will probably always be overshadowed. It is a small Norman church extended by the addition of a north aisle and NW tower in the thirteenth century. The arcade is typical of that period. The priest’s stall is fourteenth century and the tale is told of it being made from a boat in which he was shipwrecked! The pulpit is a stunning late 19c design by ES Prior with Voysey-esque linenfold panels. For a small church there is much stained glass of note. The east windows of chancel and aisle are by William Wailes – bright and strident and strongley drawn. In the north aisle is a window by Burlysson and Grylls and an especially fine Nativity scene by Powell’s. Theirs too is the pair of 7c saints in the south wall but something has gone wrong with the proportion and the heads are strangely placed. In the west window is some medieval glass and there is an outstanding medieval roundel of the Lamb of God in the north chancel window. Top all this off with a fine Norman font and you have a church that is worth the effort to make an appointment to visit.

ELMSTONE.
THE next parish south-eastward from Stourmouth is Elmstone, called in Domesday, Ælvetone, and in other antient records, Elmerstone. There is only one borough in this parish, viz. Elmstone borough, the borsholder of which is chosen at the court leet of the manor of Preston yearly.
THE PARISH of Elmstone is very small, it is a retired unfrequented place, having no village, and only six houses and an half in the parish, which happens from one of the houses standing over the stream, one half of which is in this parish, and the other half in Preston, the Stream, which rises in a pond there, separating the two parishes, and running thence near most of those houses, of which the parsonage is one, towards the river Stour north-eastward. The courtlodge stands near the south side of the parish, having round it a moat, which is supplied by a spring rising just above it, the water from which runs from hence towards the river. At a small distance from hence is the church, on the rise of a hill, round which the land is very heathy and common-like. The parish of Wingham comes up within one field of the church. The whole is uneven ground, the inclosures small, and most of the land very poor. There is no fair held here.
THE MANOR OF ELMSTONE was part of the antient possessions of the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, of whom it was held by one Ansfrid. Accordingly it is thus entered in the book of Domesday, under the general title of their lands:
Anssrid holds of the abbot, AElig;veltone. It was taxed at half a suling and half a yoke. The arable land is . . . . . . In demesne there is one carucate, and three villeins, with three oxen in one team. In this manor Ansfrid holds half a suling, of the demesne of the monks, and pays from thence to St. Augustine one hundred pence per annum. Godessa held it in see simple, and gave from thence to St. Augustine twenty-five pence in alms every year. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth forty shillings, and afterwards ten shillings, now sixty shillings.
After which, it appears to have been held by the eminent family of Leyborne, one of whom Roger de Leyborne held it of the abbot, in the 53d year of king Henry III. And in his descendants it continued till Juliana, daughter of Thomas de Leyborne, stiled from the greatness of her possessions, the Infanta of Kent, died possessed of it anno 41 Edward III. when it escheated to the crown for want of heirs, there being found none who could make claim, to her estates, either by direct or even collateral alliance. (fn. 1) After which king Richard II. in his 11th and 22d years, settled it on the priory of Canons, alias Chiltern Langley, in Hertfordshire, where it remained till the dissolution of that house, anno 30 Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, who the next year granted it, with the scite of the priory, and other lands and estates belonging to it, to Richard, suffragan bishop of Dover, to hold for his life, or until he should be promoted to some ecclesiastical benefice of the yearly value of one hundred pounds, which happened before the 36th year of that reign; for the year before that, the king granted to Walter Hendley, esq. his attorney general, his manor and advowson of Elmerstone, alias Elmstone, with the woods and underwoods, late parcel of the above priory, or of the monastery of Dartford, or of one of them, to hold in capite by knight's service, being then of the value of fifteen pounds per annum. He was afterwards knighted, and died in the 6th year of king Edward VI. leaving his three daughters his coheirs, who next year joined in the sale of it to Simon Lynch, gent. of Grove, in Staple, who sold this manor, with the advowson of the church appendant to it, in the beginning of queen Elizabeth's reign, to Mr. William Gibbs, descended from a family who were of the rank of gentility in Devonshire, and settled at Folkestone about Henry VII.'s reign, and bore for their arms, Argent, three pole-axes, sable; the patent of which was confirmed by Robert Cooke, clarencieux. (fn. 2) His descendant of the same name, alienated it at the latter end of king Charles I.'s reign, to Robert Jaques, alderman of London, who kept his shrievalty here in 1669, and was afterwards of Luton, in Bedfordshire, and died possessed of it in 1671, leaving two daughters his coheirs, the eldest of whom, Joane, married Henry Partridge, esq. of Berkshire, and Rebecca, the youngest, John Whitfield, gent. of Canterbury, who shared his estate here between them, and on the division of it, the latter had part of the demesne lands of the manor in this parish, and other farms and lands in the adjoining parishes; but the manor of Elmstone itself, with the appendant advowson, was allotted to the former, in whose descendants it continued down to Henry Partridge, esq. recorder of Lyn Regis, in Norsolk, who died in 1793, on which it came to his son, who is the present owner of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
There are no parocbial charities. The poor constantly relieved are about seven, casually four.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Bridge.
The church is a small building, consisting of a body, a very small north isle, and a chancel, having a square tower, embattled at the north-west corner, in which there are three bells. In the chancel is a handsome monument, with a marble bust at top, for Robert Jaques, esq. formerly an alderman and sheriff of London, and afterwards of Luton, in Bedfordshire, who died in 1671; his arms were, argent on a sess sable, three escallops, or. A monument for Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Hutchesson, rector, obt. 1768. In the south isle is a monument for Henry Whitfield, second surviving son of John Whitfield, esq. of Canterbury, who lived at Preston, obt. 1774. In the church-yard are several tombs for the Gibs's, of this parish and Preston.
There is given towards the repair of the church, a house near it, of the yearly value of three pounds, and a house lately burnt down, and two acres of Land, rented at fifty shilling.
¶This church is a rectory, the advowson of which has always been appendant to the manor of Elmstone, and as such is now of the patronage of Mr. Partridge, as has been already mentioned before. It is valued in the king's books at 6l. 7s. 8½d. and the yearly tenths at 12s. 9¼d. In 1588 it was valued at 401. communicants thirty eight. In 1640 it was valued at 80l. communicants forty. It is now of the clear yearly certified value of 69l. 2s. 2d.
There are five acres of glebe land; at the valuation in king Henry the VIIIth.'s reign there were eight.

Dear Friends,
I just wanted you to know that at 8:15 pm on Tuesday, October 20th (The National Day of Hope and Remembrance) we will be dedicating the mural “73 Cents” in honor of the memory of Fred Holliday. We will meet by the mural in the CVS parking lot at 5001 Connecticut Ave. I am asking everyone to bring either a flashlight or a candle. We plan to light the mural with at least 45 beams of light to represent the estimated 45,000 American people who died last year do to lack of medical access. We will be singing songs from Buffy The Vampire Slayer- The Musical Episode, “Once More, With Feeling.” Fred wrote his dissertation on Buffy and I can think of no better way of remembering him. I have no idea how many people will show up. We could have a small gathering or a flash mob. Please attend if you can. If attending is not an option please tweet or blog about it.
Thank You, Regina
...To Susie (Booboo) who is the inspiration behind this photo and to say thank you for the kindness you give.
Started in July 2019. the $50 million, three-story building project faced pandemic-related supply chain delays but was completed on budget. The new city hall is approximately 135,000 square feet and is located between the former City Hall and Building 2. More than 300 people will be providing all the same services – Treasurer, Revenue, DMV, City Clerk, Council Chambers, Volumeter Resources, and Communications.

molesworth is the greatest dictionary i have ever used or heard about. (alas) these are some not-so-great phone pictures i took while i had to look some things up the other day.
