While i was fishing the other day I noticed this Great northern Loon and he was really close. I later found his nest close by which explains why he didn't take off...
a bit of an explaination needed for this series, really.
September is always a busy month, what with the heritage open weekend, and open house in London, so, somehow, these shots of the inside of St Clements got forgotten.
Every time I go to Sandwich, I moan about not being able to gain entry. And then yesterday reading an old blog entry of mine, there was my description of inside the church.
I looked on my external hard drive, and there were the shots. So, a quick bit of editing, and now, St Clement's, Sandwich.
The Parish Church, as it has become since the union of the three original Sandwich parishes (St Clement's, St Peter's and St Mary's) in 1948, stands in the south-east sector of town, adjoining the ramparts. It was formerly the election place of the Mayors of Sandwich and there are many carved headstones in its ancient and extensive churchyard.
The central tower and east and west part of the nave belong to a 12th century aisle-less church; in the 13th century, the chancel was rebuilt with a north chapel and, in the 14th century, a south chapel was added.
Originally, the church was cruciform in plan, as was characteristic of Norman buildings, but the addition of chantries and chapels produced the present shape and dimensions.
The Norman tower is one of the finest in England and the pillars that support it have rounded arches and curiously carved capitals with various ornaments of scrolls, frets, foliage and grotesque figures.
In the north-west angle of these columns is the doorway to the spiral staircase over which is an interesting tympanium with late Saxon or early Norman carvings.
The octagonal heraldic font has on one of its faces the arms of ancient Sandwich, and on the south face, the arms of Archdeacon Robert Hallum, by whom it is believed the font was given in about 1406.
Over the north door is the "Priest's Room", and other interesting features are the oak stalls of the members of the Confraternity of St Clement, one of which is a miserere seat; and many indents of brasses, one of which was the Bishop of Ross, Vicar of the parish in 1444.
St Margaret's Chapel has a complete medieval tiled floor; also a Gradas (gospel-step) built into the altar dais; two altar stones are now restored to their proper use after having been used as tombstones.
The Chapel of St George contains a statue of St John that was taken from Lincoln Cathedral by the Puritans. The Mayor's seat, which faces this Chapel, bears the date 1869.

Shana Spence, RD, explains what IBS is and why low FODMAP diet may help people with IBS. You can learn more here:
www.nourishdoc.com/Medical-Condition/Irritable-Bowel-Synd...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease that affects the large intestine. Signs and symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and diarrhea or constipation, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you will want to handle long term. IBS is typically known as being a 'functional' disorder. This means that any changes in the functioning of the digestive system can result in triggering the symptoms of IBS.
What you eat and how you eat is, therefore known to have a profound effect on the symptoms of IBS. As it is never possible to prevent all the IBS symptoms, you may find that following a healthy gut diet plan may prevent the symptoms from being triggered.
Following the FODMAP diet will prove to be beneficial for your symptoms. FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (try to memorize that!).
Several research studies have shown that high FODMAP foods do not get adequately absorbed by the small intestine. Furthermore, these foods increase the level of fluid in the bowel, creating more gas that causes pain, and diarrhoea.

Virginia National Guard field artillery Soldiers explain the capabilities of the M119A2 howitzer, answer questions about the Guard and take part in a demonstration of 400 years of Virginia artillery during the Military Through the Ages event March 21, 2015, at the Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, Va. Hundreds of re-enactors portrayed military organizations from Roman times, the medieval period, Hundred Years’ War, War of the Roses, French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812 and American Civil War as well as World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War and the Falklands War with Soldiers from the Hampton-based Battery B, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team representing the modern military. The event also gave the Soldiers the opportunity to train on crew drills and fire blank ammunition to improve their proficiency to prepare for live-fire training scheduled for their April drill weekend. The Virginia National Guard traces the heritage and traditions of citizen service to the founding of the Jamestown Settlement May 14, 1607, where Capt. John Smith organized a militia to defend the colony. There has not been a day since without a military presence in Virginia to defend freedom at home and overseas.

Charts similar to this are used to demonstrate relatedness according to Neo-Darwinistic Evolution. Lines are drawn based on observed similarities not only in physical features, but also in their assembly instructions. However, no explanation is offered to explain differences. The XR6 and XR8, for example, are in many ways identical, but changing a six cylinder motor into an eight cylinder motor gradually, step by step, is impossible.
Prior to the 1996 riposte by a Senator to the question of xenophobia as please explain a former Prime Minister had in 1992 labelled the Senate as unrepresentative swill. Never a chamber of greatness, just of review and opinions, they have improved since 1996. Still, their sub-optimal talent, except for some beacons of hope make it look as dull and uniform as the granite which clads two wings of the New Parliament House. This is it; up close.
I'm not really here to bag the Senate; that's too easy a target. Instead I'm here for a tour of parliamentary geology. That's right — geology. Under the encumbent mob you'd be excused for supposing I said theology. There are things older still than that antedeluvian mob, even if those things aren't as backward, unevolved and bland.
Where the New Parliament House stands there was once a perfectly good hill, and useful as hills go it was too. This was Capital Hill. On Capital Hill, as well as the foundation stone of the city of Canberra there were some altogether older stones, and some just a smidgen younger than the oldest ones. Australia had been a bit of mess in the Silurian Period. It was a bit of a construction site where something big had whacked into the side and pushed up some hills of its own. If you've ever piled something up you'll know gravity wants to pull it all down again; spoilsport that it is. Guess what? That's just what happened and so the State Circle Shale was formed. Then things got really serious and those new shales, along with the Black Mountain Sandstone on top of them, got tipped up as Australia's corset was tightened further. More weathering, erosion and pesky gravity later and another bunch of rocks, the Camp Hill Sandstone, were laid down over the lot. More uplift, tilting, erosion etcetera later and we had Camp Hill. Probably not as famous as the Hutton Unconformity at Inchbonny, but nevertheless, here in the middle of a city was an even more interesting and quite flashy example of deep time, orogenesis, blah, blah, blah…contained in an easily accessible unconformity.
Building New Parliament House required the excavation of roughly a million cubic metres of rock — the previously mentioned Capital Hill. With it went almost, but not quite all, of the unconformity between the Black Mountain Sandstone and Camp Hill Sandstone. Down below in the undercroft of this wastrel edifice, among all the dust and rubble, under the ventilation ducts, the buildings hydraulics and so on is a perfectly preserved chunk of that outstanding geology. This is why I am here. I cannot show you a photograph: phones, cameras etcetera are not allowed for security reasons. Honestly, it didn't work for Guy Fawkes, and blowing this lot up would be a waste of a good building, some classic geology and the explosives.
Further down the hill the circular road, unimaginatively named State Circle, cuts through the just a bit younger than Black Mountain Sandstone's successor, State Circle Shale, on which the Camp Hill Sandstone sits and can still be seen by public gaze. I promise, one day I'll post an image of that delight so you don't feel wholly left out.
Now back to xenophobia. It's Greek in origin; the word, although perhaps the concept too. I don't know. Because scientists liked to sound all clever they called the black blob in this image a xenolith, a foreign rock. This one is in the frankly pretty uniform and drab Eugowra Granite cladding of the New Parliament House. It adds character. People still argue about how to make a granite. Nobody has even seen one born. It always happens deep underground where we aren't welcome. Unlike your spitty, spewy volcanoes, it seems granites don't really have the runs. The mavens of granite now suppose that rather than a liquid blob squirting up into what they might call the country rock, granites are emplaced more as a gravitationally and chemically unstable mush of crystals, liquids and gases. Where the xenoliths were supposed to be bits broken off from the intruded country rock, now they are known to be something completely different. That unstable mush is generated by the heating up of rocks deep within the Earth by all manner of Nature's witchery. The more susceptible to melting and dissolving bits separate out. But bits of the more stable, left behind until now stuff get entrained with the gravitationally unstable intrusive blob. One of the really clever things about granites is how their fluidity is enabled by a flux of fluids. These fluids are held in by the pressure of the overburden until the point where the pressure of the fluids exceed the Earth's ability to hold it in, like Australia's corset giving way. When that happens, the granite freezes, it's chemistry changes a bit and if those bits of entrained stuff aren't quite in chemical equilibrium they can get a halo around them that is a bit neither one thing or the other.
For a while geologists, or maybe they were "Earth scientists", went all PC and stopped calling them xenoliths. Instead they called them enclaves. Thankfully that silliness seems to have abated. There's enough problems with the occupants of this grey clad house hating foreigners without giving them any hint that there might be enclaves of the buggers too.
Have I ever told you how much I despise estate agents? How I think that they are money-grubbing scum who make money by dubious lying and cheating?
I can't even make this mean anything by adding punctuation.
It seems that I can add "terrible use of English" and "Jumping on the environmental bandwaggon" to my reasons for hating them.
