Inverbrackie, South Australia
Former Inverbrackie Caledonian Church.
Land was slowly taken up here from the early 1840s. One of the first residents was Dr William Innes, a Scot who named the locality Inverbrackie after his home in Scotland near Invergordon which is across the Firth of Moray from Nairn. The Scottish McLeods had owned Inverbrackie or Inverbreakie (spellings vary) castle from the 1300s. They were related to the Innes family. In 1699 the McLeods sold Inverbrackie Castle to Sir William Gordon who was part of the Earls of Sutherland family. Sir William Gordon renamed the castle Invergordon, hence the name of today’s Scottish town. In 1873 the remains of the 14th century castle were absorbed into a newly constructed Elizabethan style mansion. Unfortunately this was totally destroyed by fire in 1928 and the castle grounds are now the Inverbreakie Golf course on the outskirts of Invergordon. Dr Innes, James Johnston of Oakbank and others met at the tiny Payne’s Inn at Inverbrackie SA in 1846 and decided to ask the colonial government for a land grant to establish a Church of Scotland there. They got a free grant of 20 acres and £150 towards the construction of the church. The Scottish church subsequently opened in 1849 and Dr Innes was the first burial in the attached cemetery that year. The church was also used as a school as the Scots placed great importance on education. 24 children were attending the Inverbrackie School by 1851. The school closed in 1857 when the first Woodside School opened. In 1852 parishioners guaranteed a stipend to entice John Macbean from Scotland to come out as the local Presbyterian minister. A manse was built on the glebe lands for him. In 1868 Macbean got the Inverbrackie church into the Presbyterian Union of SA. He finished up as minister at Inverbrackie in 1884. Later ministers served both the Inverbrackie and Woodside Presbyterian churches. Reverend Stewart was the last minister to serve Inverbrackie between 1922 and 1926 but it is not known how often services were conducted there as the Presbyterian church in Woodside was the main one from 1878. The manse and glebe lands were sold in 1925 and the church closed permanently soon after. Miraculously this 1849 church still stands on lands adjacent to Woodside Army Barracks but it is covered with ivy. It deserves restoration by the government.

Her name is Divinity (yes, an interesting name!), waitress in a 50's themed restaurant.
A chain burger restaurant was down the block but this place is so much better. The price was about the same too, but they used locally sourced meats and vegetables, cooked deliciously to order.
I couldn't resist also getting a milkshake to complete the experience!

A tranquil early morning walk through Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto, Japan. A morning I will not forget.
We did the guided tour of the Bodleian while we were in Oxford and I'm so glad we did. The guide was so knowledgeable and we got to go to all kinds of areas that you can't access normally (and many of which you can't photograph!) We started here in the Divinity School, a building that has evolved from its beginnings in the C15th until Wren (himself an Oxford scholar) added the door bottom left to line up with the Sheldonian Theatre opposite in the C17th It is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, more recently it was used as the Hospital Wing of Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films.

Elate - a Bee -
Thou'rt neither -
Neither - thy capacity -
But, Blossom, were I,
I would rather be
Thy moment
Than a Bee's eternity -
Content of fading
Is enough for me -
Fade I unto Divinity -
And Dying - Lifetime -
Ample as the eye -

Snow in Tokyo is something spectacular.
Snow falls over the deep red gates at Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan.
God is not only in the cross atop the temples of devotion and forts of civilisations but in every drop that sparkles in its light. We need to see them all as part of him as who knows which drop is meant to quench your thirst. (Arabian sea as seen from the Diu Fort).
