The weather had been very wet and overcast but just as my Wife and I began walking down to the lower part of Stamp Falls the sun came through and the colours in the forest came alive!
The two lower photos show our Christmas Amaryllis (watered for the first time on Boxing Day) on the 9th and 19th January. The triptych on top was taken on 29th January. It has proved some distraction from the dank and dismal scene outside.

The Lower Falls on the Genesee River located in the Letchworth State Park, about 35 miles southwest of Rochester. There are three major waterfalls, called the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls and are all loctaed in the Portage Canyon. This is a beautiful placet o visit an after a visit you walk away with a different idea of what you would normally think when you hear "New York". The highest waterfall in New York State is located in the park. It is a spectacular ribbon waterfall that is located on a tributary creek a short distance east of the Inspiration Point Overlook and has a total drop of 350 feet. Within the park there are three large waterfalls on the river and perhaps as many as fifty waterfalls found on tributaries that flow into it; the gorge formed by the river, with rock walls rising up to 550 feet in places and which narrow to 400 feet across above the middle of the three falls, prompted the area's reputation as the "Grand Canyon of the East".

The Lower School Parents Association hosted its annual Spirit Hot Lunch on January 15 in the Lower School Fieldhouse. Student decorations and banners hung throughout, and their notes about the school adorned the Tree of Gratitude. Class Reps and Alternates kicked off the festivities by reading aloud why they think Ross School is special. Elka Rifkin, Director of Lower School, thanked the PA for all their hard work at the School and noted the dedication and spirit of the “remarkable” Ross teachers. Finally, she led the cheer, "We love, we love Ross School" to the song "We Will Rock You.” Guests dined on turkey burgers, veggie chili, salad, cookies and more.
Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion, which still survives.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death, it was inherited by his sister Ellen, who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew, Major James Archibald Morrison.
The estate was requisitioned during the Second World War. It served several purposes, including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952, Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about sensitively restoring the house to its former glory, adding modern comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen, and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country, searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions, including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house and 400 acres of parkland to the National Trust in 1978.
