In Jan 2009 I visited the Guild Inn property in southern Scarborough. I vaguely recall attending an event there likely in the 70's.
In 2017 the refurbished facility was reopened as Guild Inn Estate, a wedding and special event space.
2013 was my second full year in the LEGO community. I had loads of fun, especially in Guilds of Historica and Lands of Classic-Castle. My building skills improved a lot, as did my photography.
Some highlights of the year:
Two of my builds were blogged on The Brothers Brick (Fortress of Cameria, and Valholl Gatehouse)
One of my builds was featured on the front page of Classic-Castle (Manaor Castle)
Receiving the MOC Expert badge on Eurobricks
I was one of the participants in the Mitgardian Freebuild Blizzard in Guilds of Historica
Winning Lenfald Local Challenge 8
Received my first commission
Thanks for such a great year and I'm sure 2014 will be even better :)
Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 B entry.
In order to establish dominance over the swamplands of Nocturnus, the Black Spire has established outposts on well defendable locations. As the swamp is filled with way too much entangled plants, the only way to reach the tower on this rock is by a wooden walkway.
Some guild agents to go with my guild navigator, largely based on those seen in the David Lynch film. The main guy speaks through a translator device held by his side-kick.
The 122m spire on top of the belltower of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The cathedral, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, the patron saints of the fortress, was designed by Domenico Trezzini in 1712. The guilded needle spire, crowned by a weather-vane angel, remained the tallest structure in St. Petersburg until 1960.
When renovators were cleaning the angel on the spire in 1997, they found a note in a bottle left in one of the folds of the angel's gown. In the note, renovators from 1953 apologised for what they felt was rushed and shoddy work (Khrushchev wanted the angel refurbished for the 250th anniversary of the city that year). It is said that the renovators in 1997 left another message for future generations, but the contents of that message have not been revealed.

- After the beginning of the war, guilds are formed throughout the galaxy that begin to smuggle goods and money early on after tariffs have been levied throughout the Republic and Empire's catchment area. Whole bands form to transport goods more cheaply.
- In der gesamten Galaxis bilden sich nach Beginn des Krieges Gilden die schon früh beginnen Waren und Geld zu schmuggeln nachdem im gesamten Einzugsbereich der Republik bzw. des Imperiums Zölle erhoben worden. Ganze banden bilden sich, um Waren billiger zu transportieren.

The tale is set in the period between 1912 and 1918. Coincidentally, one of the subplots of the mammoth tome I finally finished reading last night, Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon, was a search for the mythical land of Shambhala set in the same time period.

Similar to the remarkable The Invention of Hugo Cabret (©2007) by Brian Selznick, The Explorers Guild intersperses text chapters with a graphic novel format, although in Explorers Guild much of the artwork is of a more straightforward comic book style as opposed to the almost fine art approach of Cabret, with the exception of several astonishing full-colour plates reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth in both style and substance.

So, how is it? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, but I intend to start as soon as I have finished composing this overly-lengthy caption!

Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 A
Soraya is a member of the Hashishin, an ancient and secretive group of Kaliphlin assassins. Some even claim that the very word "assassin" can be traced back to this group. The widespread idea that the Hashishin are smoking certain plants before combat is however an ignorant misinterpretation of the name. Even though their numbers are few, they are feared throughout Kaliphlin and indeed throughout Historica.
Soraya is very skilled in the use of her long single-edged sword, but she also has a few more tricks up her sleeve. One of these is her trained monkey, fiercely loyal and with surprising skills with the knife.
In some parts of Nocturnus, the strangleweeds grow very thick and the only relatively safe means of transportation is on the rare stone paths with stone walls and regular patrols to get rid of the weeds. These paths are unfortunately also an excellent place for an ambush, as Soraya well knows. She therefore lets her monkey follow her on the side between the trees. When as expected a Nocturnian soldier ambushes her, the monkey is ready to deal with the threat...
I've been working on printing cyanotypes on transparent paper and laying this on gold leaf. I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has tried exposing cyanotypes on transparent paper.

This wonderful 13th-century chapel has some very fine wall paintings, currently being restored. Some were covered over with limewash whilst others were hidden behind the panelling, which you can see on the right-hand side. It's believed there is a mural of the Whore of Babylon lurking somewhere...

The current Bath stone building, which was designed by Thomas Baldwin, was built between 1775 and 1778. It was extended by John McKean Brydon in 1893. The central facade has 4 Ionic columns and the building is surmounted by the figure of Justice. The central dome and the north and south wings were added in 1893 and form a continuous building with the Victoria Art Gallery which was also built around the same time.
The Guildhall suffered considerable damage in a fire on 25 April 1972. The interior includes a banqueting hall with engaged Corinthian columns. It contains 18th century chandeliers and original royal portraits. The room is used on royal visits to the city including Queen Elizabeth II who had lunch in the banqueting room in May 2002.
It now houses the Bath and North East Somerset Council chamber, the Register office for Bath and North East Somerset, which sees the building used as a wedding venue, and houses the Bath and North East Somerset Archives and Local Studies services in the Bath Record Office. The Guildhall also serves as one of the venues for the Bath International Music Festival and other cultural events. It has been used for filming period dramas.
My mesmer ^_^....I mostly play it with my husband. This game is a real time sapper lol
If anyone is in Gate of Madness server, let me know - maybe we can quest together.
Eaurios, pearl of the Ocean
Oceans are dangerous and deep so there aren't many people who are facing them. But if they do, they could reach Eaurios. Suprisingly in the middle of the Ocean east to Mitgardia there is shallow water. When they would succeed to pass the treacherous water and creatures in the shallows they'll find the grand forrests of Eaurios. The giant salt water trees and plants there are magnificant and provide the people everything they need. Like food, wood and even shelter because the trees are hollow. And what the trees can't provide the ocean does!
History
Stories say the citizens from Eaurios came from the oceans further east and that they are descendens of an elvish race. They were seeking treasures but found the forrests instead. They were struck by the beauty of it and decided to stay. Since then Eaurios is a thriving land were people live in harmony with nature. Rarely they visit the coasts of Mitgardia and Nocturnus because what business will they be seeking there when having already found the Pearl of the Ocean.
Guild name: Eaurios
Guild Location: A 10 day swim away from the East coast of Mitgardia
Capital and Ruler: Rifidem ruled by Eshreï Amthibius
Unique characteristics: It is said, the people of Eaurios can swim faster than a man can row. Altough never confirmed because you rarely see one, they do grow up surrounded by water and when travelling they say a day swim instead of a day sailing or walking.
This year at the Layton Quilt Guild we are doing these funky chicken blocks... The blocks are 16 inches, 'course mine are 2 1/2 inches! LOL! You all know me!!! The pattern is by Sindy Rodenmayer.

Thank you for any group invites which I'd be glad to accept. However, if I can't check the content of such groups ("This group is not available to you") I'd rather not add any of my photos. Thanks for your understanding.
