The Grange, Ramsgate, Kent by Jelltex

Today would have been my parent's 61st wedding anniversary. But Mum is nearly six years gone and Dad over 29.

So it goes, so it goes.

Today is Friday: bin day. Gym Day. And the first day of the nine day Heritage Weekend.

I set my alarm for six.

Woke when it went off. Went back to sleep. Twice. Woke at ten to seven to find Cleo snuggled up beside me.

I sigh, and get up. Jools hear me, start boiling the water for coffee, so that once dressed, in my sports shorts, there is a cup of coffee ready.

We talk and then put the bins, put on our pumps all ready for some phys in Whitfield.

Friday is crazy busy on the roads, but we reach the car park safe, walk to the entrance to find IT has crashed again, so we were waved in.

Both bikes free again, I settle down to ride for half an hour in Patagonia whilst listening to some early 21st century indie music.

We do half an hour, coming a day since we were last here, feels about right. So back home for breakfast and another brew, so that Jools could leave the house for her craft meeting in the village library at half nine.

I tidy up whilst se is gone, also have a shower, bring in the bins which have been emptied.

Once she is back we have a rushed lunch of a stale roll and peppered roast beef which I turn into Rubens with mustard and pickle.

Yummy.

And then out for a quick visit to Ramsgate to The Grange and Pugin's church next door.

Augustus Pugin built his family home on a plot of land he had bought, and next door, in time, he built his perfect church.

His home, The Grange, is owned by The Landmark Trust, and is only open to the public on Heritage Weekends, and as it had been a decade since I last visited, it was time to go back to record some details, and then visit the church to take shots of the glass in his church.

We drove to Thanet on the teeth of a squall, dry for us, but looking across Pegwell Bay we could see the sheets of rain sweeping towards us.

I parked the car, leaving Jools to read in the car, so I scampered the hundred yards to The Grange, had my name ticked off and was allowed to enter.

The Landmark Trust helped renovate The Grange, all working hard to ensure that the fixtures and fittings, colours were aligned with what Pugin had installed originally.

I visited mainly to photograph details in the library and Pugin's study, not going back upstairs. I took my shots, talked to a couple of the guides, then walked the hundred more yards to the church.

The Catholic Shrine to St Augustine, as it is now called, is the family church of the Pugin's, with Augustus's tomb in the south chapel.

I had the church to myself for the most part, so snapped a few general views, I concentrated on the glass, all high quality.

Outside the squall arrived, rain hammered down on the roof. Jools texted to ask if I wanted to be picked up: I rode my luck and by the time I left, there was a small break in the clouds and no rain was falling.

I got back to the car just in time, as the rain began as we drove back south to Dover.

We stopped at Richborough for petrol, and ice cream. Then back home as the rain hammered down and the wipers struggled to cope with the volume of water falling from the sky.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1 March 1812 – 14 September 1852) was an English architect, designer, artist and critic, chiefly remembered for his pioneering role in the Gothic Revival style; his work culminated in the interior design of the Palace of Westminster. Pugin designed many churches in England, and some in Ireland and Australia.[1] Pugin was the son of Auguste Pugin, and the father of E.W. and Peter Paul Pugin, who continued his architectural firm as Pugin & Pugin.

Pugin was the son of a French draughtsman, Auguste Pugin, who had come to England as a result of the French Revolution and had married Catherine Welby of the Denton, Lincolnshire Welby family.[3] Augustus was born at his parents' house in Bloomsbury. Between 1821 and 1838 Pugin's father had published a series of volumes of architectural drawings, the first two entitled, Specimens of Gothic Architecture, and the following three, Examples of Gothic Architecture, that were to remain both in print and the standard references for Gothic architecture for at least the next century.

As a child he was taken each Sunday by his mother to the services of the fashionable Scottish Presbyterian preacher Edward Irving (later founder of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church), at his chapel in Cross Street, Hatton Garden.[4] He soon rebelled against this version of Christianity: according to Benjamin Ferrey, Pugin "always expressed unmitigated disgust at the cold and sterile forms of the Scotch church; and the moment he broke free from the trammels imposed on him by his mother, he rushed into the arms of a church which, pompous by its ceremonies, was attractive to his imaginative mind".

Pugin learned drawing from his father, and for a while attended Christ's Hospital. After leaving school he worked in his father's office, and in 1825 and 1827 accompanied him on visits to France.[6] His first commissions independent of his father were for designs for the goldsmiths Rundell and Bridge, and for designs for furniture at Windsor Castle, from the upholsterers Morrel and Seddon. Through a contact made while working at Windsor, he became interested in the design of theatre scenery, and in 1831 obtained a commission to design the sets for the production of a new opera called Kenilworth at Covent Garden.[7] He also developed an interest in sailing, and briefly commanded a small merchant schooner trading between Britain and Holland, which allowed him to import examples of furniture and carving from Flanders,with which he later furnished his house at Ramsgate.[8] During one voyage in 1830 he was wrecked on the Scottish coast near Leith,[9] as a result of which he came into contact with Edinburgh architect James Gillespie Graham, who advised him to abandon seafaring for architecture.[10] He then set up a business supplying historically accurate carved wood and stone details for the increasing number of buildings being constructed in the Gothic style, but the enterprise soon failed.

In 1831, aged nineteen, Pugin married the first of his three wives, Anne Garnet.[11] Anne died a few months later in childbirth, leaving him with a daughter. He had a further six children, including the architect Edward Pugin, with his second wife, Louisa Button, who died in 1844. His third wife, Jane Knill, kept a journal of their married life together, between their marriage in 1848 and his death; it was later published.[12] Their son was Peter Paul Pugin.

In 1834, Pugin became a Roman Catholic convert,[16] and was received into the Church in the following year.[17] Pugin's father Auguste-Charles Pugin, was a Frenchman who had come to England as a result of the French Revolution. It is probable that he, like many others, converted to the Anglican faith in order to get work (it was highly unlikely that any non-Anglican could obtain a government commission or tender for example).

British society at this time had many restrictions on any person not adhering to the state religion of the Anglican Church. Non-Anglicans could not attend University, for example as well as being unable to stand for parish or city councils, be an MP, serve as a policeman, in the armed forces or even on a jury. A number of reforms in the early 19th century changed this situation, the most important of which was the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829 which specifically abolished the restrictions on Catholics. After 1829 it became (in theory at least) possible to have a successful career while being a Catholic - this was the background to A W Pugin's conversion to the Roman Catholic Church.

However his conversion also brought him into contact with new patrons and employers. In 1832 he had made the acquaintance of John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, a Roman Catholic, sympathetic to his aesthetic views who employed him in alterations and additions to his residence Alton Towers, which subsequently led to many other commissions.[18] Shrewsbury commissioned him to build St. Giles' Catholic Church, Cheadle, completed in 1846, and Pugin was also responsible for designing the oldest Catholic church in Shropshire, St Peter and Paul at Newport.

In 1841 he left Salisbury,[20] finding it an inconvenient base for his growing architectural practice.[21] He sold St Marie's Grange at a considerable financial loss,[22] and moved temporarily to Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. He had however already purchased a piece of land at the West Cliff, Ramsgate, where he proceeded to build himself a large house and, at his own expense, a church on which he worked whenever funds allowed. His second wife died in 1844 and was buried at St. Chad's, Birmingham, a church which he had designed himself.

Following the destruction by fire of the Palace of Westminster in 1834, Pugin was employed by Sir Charles Barry to supply interior designs for his entry to the architectural competition which would determine who would build the new Palace of Westminster. Pugin also supplied drawings for James Gillespie Graham's entry.[24] This followed a period of employment when Pugin had worked with Barry on the interior design of King Edward's School, Birmingham. Despite his conversion to Catholicism in 1834, Pugin designed and refurbished both Anglican and Catholic churches throughout the country.

Other works include St Chad's Cathedral, Erdington Abbey and Oscott College, all in Birmingham. He also designed the college buildings of St Patrick and St Mary in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth; though not the college chapel. His original plans included both a chapel and an aula maxima (great hall), neither of which were built because of financial constraints. The college chapel was designed by a follower of Pugin, the Irish architect J.J. McCarthy. Also in Ireland, Pugin designed St Mary's Cathedral in Killarney, St Aidan's Cathedral, Enniscorthy (renovated in 1996) and the Dominican church of the Holy Cross in Tralee. He revised the plans for St Michael's Church in Ballinasloe, Galway. Pugin was also invited by Bishop Wareing to design what eventually became Northampton Cathedral, a project that was completed in 1864 by Pugin's son Edward Welby Pugin.

Pugin visited Italy in 1847; his experience there confirmed his dislike of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, but he found much to admire in the medieval art of northern Italy.

In February 1852, while travelling with his son Edward by train, Pugin suffered a total breakdown and arrived in London unable to recognise anyone or speak coherently. For four months he was confined to a private asylum, Kensington House. In June, he was transferred to the Royal Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as Bedlam.[26] At that time, Bethlem Hospital was opposite St George's Cathedral, Southwark, one of Pugin's major buildings, where he had married his third wife, Jane, in 1848. Jane and a doctor removed Pugin from Bedlam and took him to a private house in Hammersmith where they attempted therapy, and he recovered sufficiently to recognise his wife.[26] In September, Jane took her husband back to The Grange in Ramsgate, where he died on 14 September 1852.[26] He is buried in his church next to The Grange, St Augustine's, Ramsgate.

On Pugin's death certificate, the cause listed was "convulsions followed by coma". Pugin's biographer, Rosemary Hill, suggests that, in the last year of his life, he was suffering from hyperthyroidism which would account for his symptoms of exaggerated appetite, perspiration, and restlessness. Hill writes that Pugin's medical history, including eye problems and recurrent illness from his early twenties, suggests that he contracted syphilis in his late teens, and this may have been the cause of his death at the age of 40.

--------------------------------------------------

The Grange (aka St Augustine's Grange) in Ramsgate, Kent, on the coast in southern England was the home of the Victorian architect and designer August Pugin. He designed it in the Victorian Gothic style; it is a Grade I listed building.

Pugin bought the land for the site at West Cliff, Ramsgate, in 1841.[2] The house was built between 1843 and 1844 by the builder George Myers. Pugin's second wife died in 1844 and it was only after his third marriage to Jane Knill in 1848 that it became a family home.

The interior of the house was finally completed in 1850. It is built from the inside out in the sense that the layout of the rooms was considered before the outside of the building. This is in contrast to the Georgian style that preceded it. The style was influential on subsequent English architecture designed by architects like Edwin Lutyens.

Pugin died in the house in 1852 at the age of only 40. He is buried in the impressive Pugin chantry chapel in St Augustine's Church, next to the house, which was also designed by him and completed by his eldest son, Edward Pugin, who was also an architect.

31 Days of Halloween | Day 16 and a bit of a personal story by leslierahye

via Blogger ift.tt/11szZhR

During the month of October I am participating in a month-long blog hop with some amazing artists. Everyday you will find a new Halloween project on all of the blogs listed below. Each project must have stamping on it, be it digi or ink. There are prizes to win, be sure to check out all the rules HERE and information on the daily scavenger hunt is posted there! You must go HERE to find the item/s you are looking for the scavenger hunt.

If you are looking for my Delightful Challenge Post it is here.

Welcome to Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween hop with SmearedInk.com! Happy Thursday everyone--warning this post is an overshare and might not be suitable for everyone...that's okay, I understand. Just look at the tile and read no further. I promise, I will not share a valued technique today. This is a personal story and rather the madness behind the tile.

Today I was "scheduled" to do a tag but I changed my mind. Let me tell you why and what's behind this strange tile. I am having a biopsy today for my thyroid...let's back up. Before my daughter turned 2 (she is now 8), I was diagnosed with Thyroid disease...I had Hyperthyroidism--think thyroid in hyperdrive...it works too much. As a condition of this you sometimes have a swollen thyroid, sometimes you get goiters [think lumpy balls] in your thyroid. When I was first diagnosed I was diligent in taking my medicine--not. The only daily pill I had been on ever was a birth control pill and it had been a good 9 years since I had taken one of those. I did not want to take a daily pill. I was not good at remembering. After a few years of attempting to remember my medication I just finally gave up and went into a 6 year period of denial where I did not take it and I did not go to the doctor--EVER.

After a difficult year medically with my son and my husband, I had promised my health would take center focus...if only I knew then.... So I started this journey with the new year--my word was THRIVE, right? I was going to THRIVE in every aspect of my life. A checkup led to more invasive doctors visits....a diagnosis of high blood pressure--score 2 pills--a diagnosis of diabetes--score a pill and a lifestyle adjustment--a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism--score that stupid little pill I didn't want to take to start with and more invasive tests.

This summer I went through a horrifying sonogram with a crazy technician that had me convinced I had thyroid cancer. She was inappropriate and we hope wrong...we will know shortly. I got sent to a specialist last month to discuss "the next step." That is what we're calling the biopsy..."the next step." Basically this is to prove without a doubt that there is no cancer but rather some benign gunk in my thyroid in little goiters that can stay in me as long as they do not become a problem with my swallowing, breathing, etc. While I have tried the denial of stress thing for the last few months, those close to me know that this is killing me inside. This is evidenced by the explosion of fever blisters across my lips today [written Wednesday].

So Wednesday night before my biopsy, as I looked at my cut tag and thought of what I wanted to add, I kept thinking how frightened I was of not knowing, how the doctor would be poking me with various skinny long needles and making slides of the goo that she pulled out...I really felt like I would look like Dr. Frankenstein's Monster as I laid there while the doctor held her sono-wand in one hand going from lump to lump and sticking needles in my neck. So as I worried and relieved some stress, I misted and stenciled and stamped and embossed and ended up with my Frankenstein's Monster Tile. There you go...the method to today's madness. I hope you enjoy my project! Please come back tomorrow for more!

Doctors in Gurgaon by doctorsin gurgaon

A specialist is the first and the lone individual that comes as a main priority when somebody isn't well and is wiped out. In any sort of ailment and in the event of health-related crises specialists are the lone individuals that could help us. Specialists in Gurgaon are the best specialists one can discover in Delhi NCR

The History of Physicians/Doctors

Ancient "specialists": 25,000 BC +

The principal "healers" were chronicled in cave artworks in what is presently France. The works of art were radiocarbon-dated as far back as 27,000 years prior and portrayed individuals utilizing plants for therapeutic purposes. This is the principal recorded case of what in the end formed into the main clinical information base, gone down through clans. Trepanation – penetrating the skull to assuage torment, was done millennia prior with patchy achievement

Deal with like an Egyptian: Surgery 5,000 years prior

Not exclusively were the antiquated Egyptians probably the best individuals on Earth (Homer – of Odyssey popularity, not the one in the old Egypt Simpsons scene – credited their general medical care framework, just as the dry environment) however Egyptians likewise played out a portion of the primary recorded a medical procedure: root trench (some proof recommends teeth might have been penetrated as ahead of schedule as 9,000 years prior in India.) Back then, at that point, being a specialist included authority of heavenly texts just as later being prepared in life structures and conclusion.

Greece and the origination of clinical morals

Affected by Egyptian and Babylonian medication, the acclaimed Greek "doctor" Hippocrates composed the Hippocratic Corpus which is an assortment of around seventy early clinical works from antiquated Greece unequivocally connected with Hippocrates and his understudies. Most broadly, Hippocrates concocted the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, which is as yet significant and being used today.

Middle age Europe and the principal prescription schools

Twelfth-century Italy saw the development of colleges and the principal clinical schools. Now, being a specialist relied less upon the "gospel" of prior clinical texts and more on applying those texts and others to a specialist's individual encounters in the field. The capacity to dependably influence a patient's wellbeing was as yet hit and miss.

The cutting edge specialist

Certainly, current medication is every one of the things individuals expect when they visit a clinic, yet an advanced specialist in the created world is as a very remarkable hero or sci-fi character as agreeable sawbones. The "tool belt" of instruments at an advanced specialist's removal incorporates careful lasers and robots, powerful attractive imagers, and arranged information streams.

Specialists in Gurgaon are profoundly prepared proficient who have devoted their life towards the improvement of way of life of ordinary individuals.

Significance of Doctors in Society

Prior to the revelation of current medication, life was transitory for people. The climate was loaded with concealed risks as illness and ailments. Then, at that point, clinical practice changed into a coordinated calling, and people encountered a critical improvement in the personal satisfaction. Helped by present-day logical development, the limits of clinical innovation reached out as far as possible. In any case, even with this load of mechanical advancements, the situation of specialists in the public arena hasn't reduced; specialists stay vital.

Methimazole in syringe by Richard Wanderman

2 14

Warren, Connecticut. It's raining so time for a little kitchen table macro fun. This is the syringe of methimazole that we give our 19.5 year old cat for hyperthyroidism two times a day. We've been doing this for many years now and her thyroid condition is under control. These "dosings" are not her favorite time of day and she attempts to hide if she thinks I've got the syringe in hand.

This image is about 2 inches edge to edge.

Adopt Me by saturnism

This is Dan (阿丹), a Golden Retrieve in Taiwan. Apparently the owner may have decided to throw this poor dog away. He was found on the street. Unfortunately, this dog has hyperthyroidism condition and requires daily medication.

A courteous vet hospital is currently taking care of this dog. However, it is not a long term solution. My cousin, Taven, once again, is reaching out to the world to find this dog a good owner. She is willing to ship the dog to the North America to whom may be interested.

Taven reached out last time and I posted the link on Flickr (1 , 2 That dog is now in a happy family in Seattle with another fellow Flickr user cchwang. Please contact me if you are interested in adopting this dog. Thanks!

About Tigger by Chris Crowley

14 34

Dr. Shroyer called today to tell me what the lab results were for Tigger. It appears that he has hyperthyroidism, which is accounting for his weight loss. After he finishes the course of antibiotics he's on now, I'll have to bring him back in to be weighed, and we will proceed from there as to what kind of treatment we'll do.

With thyroid problems, the condition can be treated with diet or pills, and since he will be really hard to give pills to, diet might be the best way to go, except for how I'll be able to keep his two brothers out of his food, and him out of theirs! Pills would probably be easier, that is, if I could get him used to taking them, which doesn't seem like it's going to happen! I will try Joan's suggestion of pill pockets as soon as I can get to the pet store. That might help, hopefully.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us! This weekend was the best I've seen in my store since I've worked there, and I will be hitting commission this week! Please continue to pray that sales are steadily better, as I still have two years of property tax to catch up on, and no homeowner's insurance, and the extra vet bills have been killing me financially! God has been providing, but I sure could use a few months of prosperity to pull out of the hole I'm in, and regardless of whether I do or not, I want to be able to take care of my pets to the best of my ability. They are good boys, and all getting older with issues, but they have given me a lot of joy and companionship through the years, and I want them cared for and happy!

I'll keep everyone informed as to Tigger's progress as we go along. For anyone who doesn't know, Tigger has his own group here on Flickr, which is where I found out about him before I adopted him! Check out "Tigger The Gatekeeper's Garden Clubhouse" to learn about his very interesting life, and to share your own kitty pics! This cat is quite a character, with a personality that is just fantastic. He's known all over the world, and I keep running into people who've encountered him in his days at Sugar Mill Gardens, where he was a fixture for years before he came to live with me. One girl even told me about him being in her wedding pictures when she was wed in the outdoor chapel area! No one seems to know exactly how old Tigger is, but we do know that he started his life out being called "Jack", by his first person. Somewhere along the line, he became Tigger, and has endeared himself to thousands of people, who have become his fans, of which I am one, also!

It was such good news to hear that there was a tangible reason for his weight loss, because if thyroid was ruled out, cancer was the most likely thing left. Hopefully we will be able to get Tigger healthy again, and he'll be able to live with me for many years to come!

This pic was taken years ago in Sugar Mill Gardens. Below is the original, first edit. I readjusted a few things, and also used the Advanced HDR filter on iPiccy to give a little more detail. The changes aren't blatant, but I think it's better.

The Grange, Ramsgate, Kent by Jelltex

I am back at home in Chez Jelltex; Mulder is meowing just before dawn, in which case its situation normal. My longer than expected hike the day before meant that my legs were aching to buggery, but it is better than them stopping working.

Jools has to be up and about to go to work, but lucky me is working from home, so I can lay in bed a while enjoying the moment, but then I can smell coffee brewing, so I had better face the world. There is coffee on the table, but the cats have gone out exploring after eating, and so once Jools has left, its just me. However, the cats come in one at a time to request more food. At least not all at once.

Molly must think I'm looking a little peaky, as she brings me in a partially eaten Goldfinch and a large mouse/small rat, which I don't look at too closely.

Work is pretty much as usual, there is stuff to do, mails to send, calls to write, fires to put out. The usual.

Cheese and toast for lunch whilst I work. Somehow the volume of work wasn't what I was expecting, I guess what it being an hour ahead in Dk and being Friday afternoon. By two, mails had stopped and I can see most of my colleagues offline. I pack up for the week and get my camera gear together as there was some photographing to do.

This weekend in September is Heritage Weekend, and that means getting into churches that usually are locked. In addition, another area of Pugin's house in Ramsgate had been renovated and opened, so it seemed a good idea to go there in the 90 minutes before it closed. I think it was just about worth it.

Jools comes home, changes and we get in the car and take the Sandwich road, pretty much the same way I used to go to the office in Ramsgate when I was just an technical assistant, not that long ago, but in terms of my journey, ages ago! Traffic was a little crazy, but that is to be expected, but in the warm sunny weather, it was very pleasant indeed.

We park near The Grange, and have about an hour to get the visit done. I go straight to the Presbytery, just about the first to be built in Britain since the middle ages, designed by Pugin, and now converted by the Landmark Trust and now available for holiday rental. They have done a great job, and it feels like a fine place for up to four people can have a great stay, and help support the good cause.

I go round snapping each room, climbing the two sets of stairs to see the bedroom at the top, then back down again. What I can say is that it feels more of a home than homely than The Grange, I think I could happily stay here. Stay and maybe never leave, mind.

Jools goes to see inside The Grange, but I have been in before, so chat with a guide outside, and I tell her about my job in the survey business. She is really interested, or says she is anyway. I do go in and take a few shots, and see that with the new camera/lens combination, the shots are fabulous. Just wish I had more time to get round.

We go back to the car as its four, and the buildings and church are closing.

I now spring it onto Jools that we are heading into Canterbury, as there is a church open that evening, that should be interesting. She takes the news well, so we drive round the outskirts of the city so to approach the right part, park up close to the chapel. We make better time that I thought, so we have time for a pint in the Two Brewers near to St Augustine's Abbey. This is the life, finished for the weekend, en route to a chapel and drinking beer and eating cheese and onion crisps; living the dream.

From the pub is was a short walk through the underpass then along the city wall to the Zoar Chapel.

You read that right; Zoar. Seems that being a Baptist isn't enough, you can have Strict and/or Peculiar Baptists too, and this is the Chapel of the Particular Strict Baptists in the city. The chapel has had an interesting life too; a former bastion in the city wall, then converted for use as a water cistern before the conversion to a church in the 19th century.

We are welcomed, but not that warmly, or I might have imagined it, I mean they open the chapel on all four days of the weekend, so they must be proud of the chapel. And rightly so, all lines with white painted wood, almost round, and looking really very fine indeed. I get my shots, talk politely, then we make our way back to the car and home.

We have run out of time for that day, so return home ready to have some dinner, as our appetites are raging. And as you will come to expect, its insalata caprese once again, with cheese and pickle bread, thickly sliced and buttered. Add a bottle of red wine, and it is perfect.

The cats are happy too, we have fed them and as we slob around the house, they ask for attention, food or whatever. Outside the sun sets on a fine late summer evening, whilst the moon has already risen and looks about half full already.
