I rather got my churches in Seal mixed up, there is a much more ancient church in the main part of the village, but St Lawrence is a very fine Victorian church, situated at the edge of a large wood, and was found open.
Despite coming here by accident, I have a soft spot for Victorian churches and glass, so this was one of those good mistakes!

A romantic story and one of the most atmospheric Victorian churches in Kent. The story starts with the death of the six-year-old daughter of the local landowners whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight. The daughter, Rachel was buried there at the Church of St Lawrence and here at Seal her parents started to build a church that resembled it. The architect was Howell and the builders Constable of Penshurst (both of whom were working on the patron's house to the north of the churchyard). The church - plain nave and chancel - opened in 1868. In 1876 two transepts were added in memory of another daughter of the patrons who had died aged 14 and the tower was a later addition of 1888. Today the interior is a period piece of late Victorian art. The east window designed by Henry Holliday is by Lavers and Barraud. In the south transept the faces in the glass represent the deceased daughter. Over the choir stalls are fine Venetian lamps, whilst the chandeliers in the nave were gifts from the patrons when the church was built.

St Lawrence church is named after the parish of St Lawrence on the Isle of Wight - it was there that the 6-year old daughter of Mr and Mrs Wilkinson of Frankfield (the house you can see across the field to the north of our church) had died in 1866 while on holiday.
In Mary Rachel's memory, the Wilkinsons built our St Lawrence's Church in 1867/8, and once completed, Mary Rachel's remains were exhumed and re-buried in our churchyard as the first entry in St Lawrence's Burials Register.
(You can see a picture of Mary Rachel here as depicted in the top window in our chancel. File size is 1MB!)
Indeed, the original building was modelled on Old St Lawrence Church, Isle of Wight
(a tiny 12th Century church - see the pictures on the windowsill at the west end of the church.)

On Bank Holiday Monday, 30th May 2005, at approx 12:15 pm, St Lawrence’s church was struck by lightning.
The ensuing fire severely destroyed the roof of the chancel (East end of the church), and caused secondary (e.g. smoke)
damage to the rest of the church
Worship and other services continued!
Repair work was undertaken; we were able to return to the cleaned nave by the end of November 2005, and the remaining repairs (including some re-ordering) were completed by late 2006
The church was (and still is) fully insured for the major direct costs
We have lots of Thank You's to share
Our celebration service to mark completion of the repairs took place on Sunday 10 December 2006
During a severe thunderstorm on 30th May 2005 (Bank Holiday Monday) lightning appears to have entered St Lawrence Church at the junction of the vestry roof and the lower edge of the chancel roof. (NB The church did/does have a lightning conductor on the tower, and we had just received a month earlier the certificate indicating it had passed all tests. Moral: Lightning conductors only reduce the chance of damage!)
Two walkers who had been sheltering under the church lychgate from the thunderstorm saw the initial strike. Though without a phone themselves, they alerted a group of young people from local Sevenoaks Churches who (Praise the Lord!) had volunteered to spend their Bank Holiday Monday to prepare a children's garden area at the adjacent St Lawrence School. Like all young people, they had plenty of mobile phones to start making those necessary calls to the emergency services and contacts. (We had a month earlier updated the list in the church porch of our “Who’s Who” of church contacts – keeping an up-to-date noticeboard has always been one of our priorities of demonstrating we are a living church!)
One fire engine was already attending another lightning strike (fortunately much less severe) at Lower Frankfield, so was on site within minutes. Eventually five appliances attended, with attention divided between getting irreplaceable items (altar frontals, etc) out of the church, and stripping off tiles from the roof to expose the burning timbers. Thanks to the fire crews’ great care in using the minimum amount of water, the resulting water damage has not been great.
The chancel arch acted in effect as a fire break, and helped keep the fire to the chancel and vestry roofs. But there was considerable smoke damage throughout the church. On first inspection, there was no damage to the stained glass.
A tin roof was been erected over the chancel, to help repair of its roof
Safety screening was been placed around the damaged chancel and vestry area (with loose tiles and scaffolding etc it was a dangerous area!)
A wooden screen was erected to completely separate chancel from nave. This was so that professional cleaning of the nave could take place independently (and sooner) than the longer-term repairs to the chancel and vestry. This screen was decorated by members of St Lawrence School and our own Sunday School
3 'roundels' by school and two by Sunday School)
The organ was been completely dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt
The electrical system in at least the chancel and vestry had to be replaced (inc. new heaters and lights). Again, we needed also to learn how much damage there may be to the electrics in the rest of the church
Some of the church contents, for example linens and altar frontals, had some slight smoke or moisture damage; these were sent away to be professionally cleaned and/or restored.
We began to consider some additional works which it would be prudent to undertake while workmen are on site. (e.g. since much of the electrical system needs replacing, what about better lighting, or improved heating?) We therefore expected and planned that in the end St Lawrence’s would emerge as an even better church!
We were fully insured for all the obvious up-front costs (building repairs, cleaning, additional hiring costs of e.g. Village Hall, loss of fees or other income). NB We were obviously not covered for additional works which we felt we should take the opportunity of doing
A letter of information was sent to all parish residents, to those on the Church Electoral Roll, and to others connected with the church

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Are six Xpress It Jades too many?!! Absolutely not!!! This collection will always have a special place in my heart that is irreplaceable. My very first Bratz ever were Xpress It ones. You can see my childhood doll on the far left side of the photo. Dad had bought me Yasmin from the set during the fall of 2002. I was so pleased by her, that I wanted more Bratz. I didn't have anything else to play with on my doll, besides what she came with. Luckily, Dad said I could get more Bratz for Christmas. I decided I wanted the other ones from Yasmin's collection--Jade, Sasha, and Meygan. Apparently I didn't think Cloe was important (although I did get a Beach Party gal not long after Christmas). I vividly remember opening up my Bratz that Christmas morning. It was the first holiday season without Mom, who passed away in August. Dad went a little overboard with our gifts that year, to compensate. In years past we celebrated at home, and invited family over. But instead for 2002, we ended up going to my Uncle David's house. Colleen and I packed up all our new dollies that afternoon. I recall undressing Jade and removing her hat for the first time at Uncle David's. I played with all of them so much, it's really hard to say who was my true favorite. Jade's bangs always had gaps in them, even the day I first opened her. I took excellent care of all my childhood dolls' tresses (they received regular baths and conditioning treatments). It's just one of those little quirks that makes her so distinguishable. I will say that many of her clothes faded, because they were probably my faves to play with.
The rest of the girls are in the order I got them in. Doll number two is from "Craigslist #1." This was a massive group of 70 plus Bratz Dad got for me via Craigslist, during the fall of 2011. I had taken a five year hiatus from dolls as a teen, but renewed my passion that year. Bratz quickly became my favorite thing, besides Disney dolls, to collect. Dad was very supportive of my Bratz addiction. I remember he thought the dolls from "Craigslist #1" all looked perfect. They were a little messed up from play, but their previous owner was obviously nice to her dolls. She was selling them off to make money for Monster High. Anyways, there was an entire set of Xpress It dolls in the lot, besides Yasmin. So that meant I had doppelgangers to model the spare fashions for display (and my very first Cloe). This gal was perfect--her original hair style was still fully intact when I first brought her home, and her outfits were mega crisp.
A few months later, shortly after Thanksgiving, I acquired my second Craigslist lot. You guessed it, Jade number three is from the bin we dubbed "Craigslist #2." This was a much smaller group of grubbier dolls. But they had an amazing backstory. They belonged to a little girl who used to love her Bratz very much. Most had been thrifted by her grandmother, who used to play dolls with her granddaughter. The girl had grown out of them, so her grandparents wanted to sell the Bratz and find them a new home. As it turns out, my dad kind of knew the sellers...and they were super nice people! I felt honored to adopt the once loved Bratz and give them a new home.
Doll number four was from an eBay lot I purchased sometime in 2014. I was on the hunt for a few specific dolls and more fashions. That's when I stumbled upon an inexpensive listing for a lot that contained the coveted New Year's CeleBratztion Yasmin. It was less than $25 all said and done, if memory serves me correctly. All the dolls looked to be barely played with and were more or less complete. I didn't "need" the extra Xpress It Jade. But seeing her brought me back to my childhood, when I opened my first dolly. She was just as nice as my "Craigslist #1" lady...in terms of condition and completeness. I would have chosen her to be the extra outfit model if I didn't already have my Craigslist girl.
Shortly thereafter, a little later in 2014, I acquired yet another Xpress It Jade. Can't you tell how popular these dolls were?!!! She is from the local flea market. I noted a table with a pile of Bratz that spring. I had all the dolls, so I wasn't planning on buying any. That was until I spotted Sweet Heart Dana. I didn't own her, and she was one of the gals I was on the hunt for. I intended to purchase her separately, but I noted that a bunch of her spare pieces (clothes and accessories) were split up on several of the other dolls. I decided I would see if the seller would do a bundle deal for the entire group. I also eyed a few other clothing pieces from other Bratz I needed/wanted. The man was more than willing to get rid of them all in one go. We dubbed this the "Sweet Heart Dana Lot." This Jade reminds me the most of my childhood one, because of her bang gap.
And finally we have my sixth Jade. She joined the family during the fall of 2015. She too was from the local flea market. In the last aisle, at the very last booth, I spotted the Flashback Fever Retro Ride. I had been coveting said vehicle since I learned of its existence. There was also a stash of Bratz dolls and a baggie of extras included. The seller was originally asking $100 for it all, but said he'd let it go for $75. That is a very steep price to pay at the flea market. But I studied the bus, the contents of the bag, and the dolls. They all looked to be in stellar condition...and buying the Flashback Fever Retro Ride online would cost more than that. So I bought the entire lot, and never regretted it. We dubbed this the "Flashback Fever Bus Lot" of 2015. This Jade is also in very lightly played with condition. I'm impressed with how many of my dolls looked like new when I got them, considering they were all secondhand,

Play keeps us vital and alive. It gives us an enthusiasm for life that is irreplaceable. Without it, life just doesn’t taste good. ~ Lucia Capocchione
The only time this bench is ever REALLY clean is when I've dropped something irreplaceable and simply have no other choice but to find it. Since this is such an enormous task....I've gotten really, really good at not dropping irreplaceable things. I've loaded huge original files if you want to really see detail of all this.
To Whomever Opens My Time Capsule:
Having to summarize my life and times in four items seemed daunting. I didn't want to put anything of monetary value or irreplaceable sentimental value within my capsule. So.... I thought and thought and waited till the last day of the Scavenger Hunt deadline to pick my four. That may also tell you a good bit about me in itself. But here goes.
1) The Abby mug reminded me of hours of laughing pleasure spent with my husband while we watched our favorite television program this past few years. Abby was voted the #1 favorite TV character in U.S. primetime in 2011. It was a Valentine gift to him as the ultimate joke regarding his undying love for her!
2) The Tivoli plastic glass represents the delight Hadley and I have experienced in traveling the world and the added joy we have had of meeting Flickr contacts in person as we journeyed. Our time spent at Tivoli with Astrid (http://www.flickr.com/photos/71776320@N00/) and Mike (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bozzydk/) ranks as one of the best memories ever.
3) The Scrabble Dictionary tells you a few things about me. I'm pedantic when it comes to spelling and I absolutely love Scrabble. Plus a hard-copy book will seem a foreign concept perhaps in 100 years.
4) The final item for my Time Capsule is a postcard which I just made and mailed out through the snail mail to invite relatives to our family reunion this fall. My relatives bring me laughter and love as does my love of photography and real mail.
The box itself held an anniversary gift to us this month so this creation brings me pleasure all around.
ANSH: Four items you would put into a time capsule to be opened next century
The farmers of the insect world, leaf-cutter ants grow their own food in underground fungus farms. Pieces of leaf are carried hundreds of metres in impressive processions, with each ant carrying a piece up to 50 times its own body weight. That's like one of us carrying a medium-sized van. The leaves are used to create fungus gardens that feed the whole colony - millions and millions of ants. Soldiers protect the huge nest and the irreplaceable queen at all costs.
The Leaf-cutter ants can be found in a number of locations including: Amazon Rainforest, North America, South America.
My very old Leica M3 - Dual Stroke. Shutter is gone and irreplaceable. Viewfinder is still great. The M3 was in every sense of the word a Leica. It is now a SHELF Leica.
This is me being restrained. Rick doesn't know much about handmade envies and mail art and suchlike things. I don't want to scare him.
But I must love the guy, because I used four (count 'em!) four of my beloved & irreplaceable dinosaur stickers from Slovenia.
Old style shutter speeds - 1/25th, 50, 100, 250, 500 and B
From the printed original manual:
The wide speed range of the shutter, the fast lens, the synchronizer, the self - timer, the dioptric view finder focusing, the small weight and the size of the camera make it irreplaceable for strolls, on holiday, in everyday life.
If you ever are fortunate enough to visit a lighthouse, and can get an up close and personal look at the elements used to spread the light, do it.
And do it before dumb asses shot holes into irreplaceable glass like they did at Cape Meares. It is horrific to see hundred year old glass imported from Europe with bullet holes from some idiots dare to his equally idiotic buddy.

Spanning 1.6 million acres, the Mojave Trails National Monument comprises a stunning mosaic of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows and fossil beds, and spectacular sand dunes. Rare plants and many native animal species call this timeless landscape home. The monument also contains irreplaceable historical resources, such as World War II training camps and the longest-remaining undeveloped stretch of the iconic Route 66.
A critical travel corridor for millennia, the Mojave Trails area links the Pacific coast to the deserts of the Southwest and beyond. The Mojave Indian Trail is the earliest known route through the area. Native Americans used this route for thousands of years, and early Spanish explorers and traders followed its course as well.
The Mojave Trails National Monument is part of the Bureau of Land Management’s National Conservation Lands and preserves cultural, ecological, and historical legacies for the benefit of present and future generations.

"But a sober look at our world shows the degree of human intervention... is actually making our earth less rich and beautiful, ever more limited and grey... We seem to think that we can substitute an irreplaceable and irretrievable beauty with something which we have created ourselves."
Pope Francis, Laudato Si, On Care for Our Common Home, Chapter 1, III, 34: www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents...
Yesterday was filled with some firsts. First time going to this beautiful location - a water fall very close to where I live (who knew!) and the first time I have ever cut my hair as short as I did (photos shortly)
As great as firsts are, it is important to always remember the things that have been with you, and will stay with you for a life time.
Maker's Mark's cypress fermentation tanks are literally irreplaceable – with some of the planks more than 200 years old. Cypress was chosen for fermentation before modern stainless steel tanks were available.
Finite
This work consists of over 3500 matches burning in the word 'finite'. I took influences from Martin Creed's large word installations as well as Gustav Metzger's 'auto-destructive' work, in which the destruction of the piece is the art. The word finite, which means 'limited', was intended to reflect the damage to the earth's natural resources and how they are irreplaceable once damaged. The burning process demonstrates how resources are easily destroyed and that many things in life are only temporary.

The Revenant Sisterhood’s primary war fleet is composed of immensely powerful yet irreplaceable battle walkers, discovered amidst the military ruins of the old world. Their desiccated mainframes and ancient radiation-saturated nuclear reactors necessitated the development of the Holy Symbiote, fallen sisters whose partially disembodied spirits could pilot the machines, while withstanding their poisonous emanations… for a time.
The development of the Apostle, the first such machine ever to be manufactured in the modern age, marks a watershed moment in the history of the Sisterhood. A lightweight frame constructed of a composite of demon bone and steel means it can be driven by conventional diesel engines, and therefore conventional pilots. At last, the Matriarch is within reach of a vast machine army.
For the time being, the Apostle has been tasked with escort duty, providing much needed support to long-range battle walker rearmament convoys, but it may yet see a general combat role in the near future.

"Do not let the fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours..."
— Ayn Rand

Irreplaceable

Broadgate City of London.
Everly is Italian from a town called Marche which she said was a really lovely place. She is in London studying Security and we bumped into each other in the weekend emptiness of Broadgate. I took a few portraits then Everly said 'no more that is enough'. As she picked up her bags I did manage to ask her how she was getting on and she told me she had registered with an agency to do some cleaning jobs to supplement her study's but they gave her work quite far away from where she lived so of course incurring transport costs and if she was late she would be charged by the agency! I hope she manages to over come this and complete her study's.

What a place for a sunflare Lola! That's actually as there's a tiny scratch (it occured during Malawi) on the lens, which as far as I'm aware is irreplaceable. It likes creating white spots on most photos, they're just usually not that obvious.
Ha, my expression. I didn't know I was capable of an elegant "loss" expression, usually I just look like I'm in pain. But I don't hate this. I just look sad. Obviously that's the point - I'm Demeter, and my daughter Persephone has just been stolen by the underworld god, Hades. I'm the goddess of seasons and life (hence, flowers). Demeter wore a dark veil to signify mourning (hence, scarf). Yes there's a summer house behind me, but I'll get rid of that some other time.
Now my neighbours think I'm mad, and I smell like lavender. Sweet dreams for me tonight please.
This was fun, and very impromptu. Was supposed to be going shopping but got cancelled (going now instead) so I jumped outside in the COLD and took some photos in the beautiful sun. Hey, sun, I missed you!!!
suggestions for fancy dress outfits for a "goodies vs baddies" party? I'm a bit of a villain girl, if you've got any ideas? Much appreciated!
Mi cara ajajajaj xd ! se supone que era un besito8-).. >.< .. esta cancion me la robo el taty 88 yo se la dije porque me acordaba de el ._. ..
Te juro que no te aguanto más
No te quiero ya ni como amante
Esta vez no ganarás
Te puedes marchar y no vuelvas jamás..
Este cuento al fin se ha acabado
Me verás con otro hombre a mi lado
Ya lo ves traidor voy a sustituirte
Voy a olvidar tu amor… ♪ ♪
