Definately a cross betweeen two species.
Wooly rounded leaves . 70cms tall. I have some of this grown from a cutting and Spearmint , both have been wiped out for second cropping by Mint Moths. As the crow flies this is about 200 yards from our house and is not plagued at all.
What can I say. A nice place for a stroll on Sunday afternoon and a brilliant place for fungi. It has some lovely trees.
The clock tower of the Launceston Grammar School catches the last rays of the setting sun. The school was established in 1846 in the heart of Launceston itself, but moved to this Mowbray campus in 1924.
Originally built in the 1890s as a private residence, "Penleigh" is a very grand asymmetrical Victorian mansion situated in the finest section of the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. Today it serves as a campus for the girls of Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School.
Built of beautiful red bricks with stone detailing "Penleigh" has a wonderful return verandah and balcony adorned with elegant cast iron lacework. The mansion has bay windows both upstairs and down and restrained detailing around the undulating Mannerist style roofline. "Penleigh" also features a rather smart tower that nudges just above the remainder of the house.
Moonee Ponds, like its neighbouring boroughs of Ascot Vale and Essendon, was etablished in the late 1880s and early 1890s. However, unlike its neighbours, it was an area of affluence and therefore only had middle-class, upper middle-class and some very wealthy citizens. Built in the most affluent area of Moonee Ponds, this mansion would have suited a large, wealthy Victorian family of some importance and would have required a small retinue of servants to maintain.
Penleigh Ladies' College was originally established in 1871 as Dorset House, Mrs. Tulloch's School for Young Ladies. The school occupied several sites in the Moonee Ponds area. The school developed and expanded particularly under the guidance of the Limerock sisters. The school was re-named Penleigh Ladies' College during the First World War after it took up residence in "Penleigh". After the Second World War Penleigh was purchased from the Limerock sisters by the Presbyterian Church. In 1977, Penleigh Ladies' College and Essendon Grammar merged to form one large school over several sites across Essendon and Moonee Ponds.

Edible, however it is so like so many others that are poisonous it is best to avoid it.
Designed by Augustus Pugin.
Not been inside but love the exterior. The grounds are full of interesting nature. One of the fungus species we found there is globally rare.

Blushing Wood Mushroom
Grammar School Stafford UK 21st January 2024
It has been -4C. for days, so I was amazed to find this. There were even two button ones coming through.
A healthy one. Oddly there were far fewer than the last few years and yet the very rare Powdercap Strangle appeared for the first time. The Parasite grows up through the stem and puts out a purple mushroom cap. It is much smaller than the host .

Photos sent off for ID UPDATE Less than 40 records for Staffordshire so a good spot.
This survived several days of below freezing temperatures. I took a pic of the same fungus a week before and left the cap there.
The moss is Springy Lawn Moss and it makes this a lovely bouncy bit of grass to walk on.

Some places were icy even though it was gone 1pm when we set out. The wind brought down a couple of whole cones. They have come home to make Xmas decorations.
The building, which was actually Bartlett’s third school building, was completed in 1909 at a total cost of around $21,000. It was located on a full city block and centered diagonally on that block. It featured ten rooms, three offices, and an auditorium. It housed all grades from 1909 until 1917, the elementary grades from 1917 through 1966, and the primary grades from 1966 until 1988.

The Doncaster Grammar School Railway Collection.
The school Railway Society was formed in 1936 by a group of pupils at the school and during the 1950's/60's Tony Peart, the Society's Sec, started to collect Railwayana. This was housed in the School's Water Tower - out of sight to most people. The collection numbers over 10,000 items, many of which are now on display at DGLAM.
Well worth a visit.
Murphys Grammar School is California’s oldest school building in continuous use as a school. Built in 1860 for $4000, it has two rooms. The entire building is 40'x60' which means it cost about $1.50/sf to build back then.
Dr Albert Michelson attended this school and later won America’s first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907 for his work in determining the velocity of light, which later aided Einstein’s development of his relativity theories.
Growing in same place several years running. This one is very dry.

Metroline VW1828, BK10MFJ, on route 207 to Shepherd's Bush at Twyford Avenue in Ealing Common.
The days of seeing an apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush are over as powers up high in TfL have decreed that Shepherd's Bush is no more, and now will only ever will be Shepherds Bush without the apostrophe. This is despite the area originally belonging many years ago to a person called Mr Sheppard which, over the centuries, evolved into Mr Shepherd. However despite all this, both underground stations in the area will continue to maintain the apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush as is grammatically correct.
Anyone for consistency?
Little Carrie needs some more old fashionated grammar lessons, to be able,
to read all these old english books.
(And 'mom' sometimes, to leave some proper english comments...:)

Aberdeen Grammar School is a state secondary school in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is one of thirteen secondary schools run by the Aberdeen City Council educational department.
It is the oldest school in the city and one of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom, with a history spanning more than 750 years. Founded around 1256, the year used in official school records, it began operating as a boys' school. On Skene Street, near the centre of the city, it was originally situated on Schoolhill, near the current site of Robert Gordon's College. It moved to its current site in 1863, and became co-educational in 1973.
In 1970 the school's name was changed by the City of Aberdeen Education Committee to a more accurate, less ceremonial "Rubislaw Academy" but in 1977 the name was reverted to "Aberdeen Grammar School" by the Grampian Regional Council, who at that point were responsible for education in Aberdeen.
Although the school is named Aberdeen Grammar School, the school is not a Grammar School, The state school does not choose its own students and instead has a catchment zone like other schools in Aberdeen, Scotland.
In an annual survey run by the British broadsheet newspaper The Times, Aberdeen Grammar was rated the 15th best Scottish state secondary school in 2019, and second in Aberdeen behind Cults Academy.
The most notable former student is Lord Byron, the Romantic poet and writer who spent a short amount of time at the school before his move back to England as a 10 year old. A statue of him was erected in the front courtyard of the school. Alumni include Scottish international footballer Russell Anderson and mathematician Hector Munro Macdonald. [Wikipedia]
