Lewis Carroll 1832-1898 (real name Charles Dodgson)
The author of 'Alice in Wonderland' preached at St. Mary's in 1864
The parish of Streatley has a long history going back to Anglo Saxon times. Following the Norman conquest of 1066, Geoffrey de Mandeville was made Lord of Streatley Manor for his valour at the battle of Hastings. It was he who made a generous gift of land to support the priest, and it was he who appointed Wibert as Priest of Streatley in 1086.
The present church and chancel were practically rebuilt in 1864. Some additions were made to the tower, which was originally built in the 15th century: the turret staircase on the south side and the demolition of the original cupola which housed the Sanctus bell (circa 1549). It now hangs at the back of church.
At the beginning of the 19th century, St Mary's was in a very poor state of repair but it was extensively restored in the mid 19th century under the auspices of a Mrs Stone, who was the lady of the manor at Streatley House in the High Street. The chancel was rebuilt by the lay rector, S Pusey, Esq. In 1893, the fine Victorian reredos was erected in grateful memory of Mrs Stone. The reredos is a beautiful design in alabaster by JL Pearson RA. Besides the reredos there are a number of memorials to the Stone family. Both the east and west windows are in memory of William Henry Stone (1863).
During the 19th century rebuilding work, many of the original 13th century materials were used, such as, flint (a local material) and stone. The clerestory is an addition, the extra windows increased the light and ventilation. The columns of the nave and aisles were built in alternate bands of cream Bath stone and Berkshire chalk. In 1864 Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, consecrated the restored church.
Under the tower arch is a marble wall slab to Sophia Small, of Chalford, Gloucestershire, spinster 1783. Near this is a tomb with painted crest, to Samuel Rush (1771). At the back of the church there is a brass plaque, which lists the Vicars of Streatley dating back to 1307, when John de Whicheford was presented with 'the tithes of the Manor at Streatlee'.
Mount Santubong's name may have been derived from the Iban word for coffin, but various Chinese derivations have also been suggested (San approximating the word for mountain in many dialects), as well Bidayuh, in whose lands the names of many hills start with S. Investigators have made ascents of the steep mountain to find places of archaeological interest. Around its foot are signs of Hindu occupation which are hundreds of years old which have been investigated by the Sarawak Museum. It was also the home of the early Sarawak Malays until they were driven up to Kuching in about the 1850s owing to continual attacks from the powerful Saribas Dayaks.[citation needed]
The mountain is made of sandstone, although it has been confused by many with limestone tower karst, or a volcanic plug: smaller versions of both appear not far inland. For a long time it interested those in search of gold but without success. There used to be an old theory that all the gold in the First Division of Sarawak lies in a straight line between Bau and Santubong which has some support in that there is a certain amount of gold in the mountain since fishermen in the past used to depend for their livelihood during the monsoon seasons, when the sea was too rough for fishing, by panning gold in the small mountain streams from which they could expect to gain an average of twenty dollars a month.
In this picture you get to see all the "4 iconic Santubongs" of Sarawak.

Named after the Tournament of 1839 , the bridge crosses the Lugton Water on the estate of Eglinton Castle .
The Tournament was a reenactment of a Medieval Joust which attracted over 40 Knights in full armour and a crowd of 100,000 spectators including Prince Louis Napoleon and Georgiana The Duchess of Somerset .
This cat doesn't have a name yet. Of all the ones that regularly visit my garden (there are about ten of them now) he is definitely the most cheeky and impertinent. He rubs himself on my legs and on those of any other person and demands cuddles but above all food! Then he takes a nap maybe on the roof of my car, as in this case. Finally he goes away as he came. I think he has owners who look for him during the day but only find him in the evening when he comes home. And what do you think?

a very peculiar wader / shorebird, not only because of its double name but more so because of its behavior.
From Wikipedia:
"The red phalarope or grey phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, migrates mainly on oceanic routes, wintering at sea on tropical oceans.
The typical avian sex roles are reversed in the three phalarope species. Females are larger and more brightly coloured than males. The females pursue males, compete for nesting territory, and will aggressively defend their nests and chosen mates. Once the females lay their olive-brown eggs, they begin their southward migration, leaving the males to incubate the eggs and care for the young. Three to six eggs are laid in a ground nest near water. Incubation lasts 18 or 19 days. The young mainly feed themselves and are able to fly within 18 days of birth.
The red phalarope is about 21 cm (8.3 in) in length, with lobed toes and a straight bill, somewhat thicker than that of red-necked phalarope. The breeding female is predominantly dark brown and black above, with red underparts and white cheek patches. The bill is yellow, tipped black. The breeding male is a duller version of the female. Young birds are light grey and brown above, with buff underparts and a dark patch through the eye. In winter, the plumage is essentially grey above and white below, but the black eyepatch is always present. The bill is black in winter.
When feeding, a red phalarope will often swim in a small, rapid circle, forming a small whirlpool. This behaviour is thought to aid feeding by raising food from the bottom of shallow water. The bird will reach into the outskirts of the vortex with its bill, plucking small insects or crustaceans caught up therein. They sometimes fly up to catch insects in flight. On the open ocean, they are found in areas where converging ocean currents produce upwellings and are often found near groups of whales. Outside of the nesting season they often travel in flocks."

Had to climb onto the roof for this view. Hope you like it:
Bergh Castle or in Dutch Huis Bergh, in 's-Heerenberg, is one of the largest castles in Gelderland, The Netherlands. It gives its name to the Land van den Bergh and was previously owned by the Counts Van den Bergh.
The building history dates back to the 13th century. The main parts of the castle are from the 14th, 15th and 17th century. In the beginning of the Dutch Revolt the house got damaged by war. In 1735 the castle burned down.
In 1912 Huis Bergh and all belongings became the property of Jan Herman van Heek, an industrialist from Enschede.
He restored the buildings. In 1939 there was another major fire. Thanks to the help of locals most of the furniture was rescued. Renovation began the same year and was completed in 1941.

I suppose you would call these baffles (the crashpad part on the mooring). There was an array of them for the ferry to moor between. It looked kind of like a cheerful robot to me. We were crossing the Bay to help my parents move into their new place in Point Lonsdale.
There are names that go through the generations with calm persistence. Names that heal a person just for taking them, and names that destroy. Names that travel, names that bring you home, names that you only mutter in the deep waters of your sleep...

This weeks macro for the Macro Monday theme of The First Letter of Your Name". As my first name is George I decided on this Italian Cheese "Gorgonzola". It is rich and creamy with a sharp spicy flavour. HMM
I named this rockslide area Marmot Hollow as I explored the area with the wide angle lenses in the morning I ran into several of them ... I then hiked back to the car and came back with the long lens and had a fun portrait session with the marmot and pika living among the fallen rock.

In many countries or regions, mountain names are repeated. For example in Scotland where some mountains are given obvious names the result is that there are many called Being Dearg (Red Mountain in Gaelic). In Wales too there are nine mountains named Y Gran (The Cairn).
In this case, this mountain summit is known as Montana Negra (Black Mountain in Spanish). This is located in the southern hills of Gran Canaria but I recognised the name as I have also climbed a peak in Tenerife with the same name.
My hike up this hill wasn't one I had come across in a guidebook. For some reason the British seem to have an obsession with climbing to the summit of a hill, whereas here like most foreign mountain ranges paths take high routes through the mountains and ignore the summits. There was no sign whatsoever of a path up this peak. In fact the only sign man visited was this little cairn which seemed insignificant given the 3,520 height of Montana Negra.
Shirley has long since given up trying to stop me venturing off into the hills on my own whilst on our foreign trips. I must admit that I do like the solitude of being able to explore somewhere new at my own pace.
Some dear friends call me Haze, instead of Hazel
My husband had the idea of gathering some hazelnuts from under the hazel trees near our stream. They are a bit wobbly to 'write' with which suits me fine.........
I'm also thinking of chocolate and hazel nuts.
And squirrels who missed these ones.
And my background for Haze had to be purple.
Smile on Saturday...! My name is.......
There are girls named Dahlia.
Also the bee on the Dahlia translates to Deborah, which is the Hebrew word for Bee :-)))))

The bridge was named to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I. An Australian Flag flies atop the eastern pylon and a New Zealand Flag flies atop the western pylon. A bronze memorial statue of an Australian Anzac soldier stands on the western end of the bridge. Opposite him, a statue of a New Zealand soldier stands facing towards the east.
I took this photo looking up from the pedestrian walkway on the eastern side of the bridge.

Common names: Climbing lily, Creeping lily, Fire lily, Flame lily, Gloriosa lily, Glory lily, Tiger claw.
Botanical name: Gloriosa superba.
Family: Colchicaceae.
Taken at Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa.
As the name suggests, the Flame lily comes in glorious colours of orange and yellow, but for some perverse reason, I decided to strip it of all colour :-)
Grandpa had no sons, therefore when his daughter married and she took on the name of her husband, Grandpa's name will fade with the memory of him after his life. These are the things he was reflecting on as he watched his precious granddaughter play.
Its name reminiscent of the famous beaches in California, Malibu. But this one named Malimbu, a very beautiful beach with white sand and blue ocean is captivating. Located in West Lombok, 10 km from Senggigi beach to the north. The beach is much more beautiful than the famous Malibu!
The name Dana is known allover the world. It's a female and as well a male name. So in many languages there are translations for this name
in arabic = precious pearl
in bengali/sanskrit = small grain
in celtic = Mother Earth or Mother Goddess
in Slavic = God's gift
in Norwegian = the beauty
in Kurdish = the first
in Persian = wise, clever
in Turkish = little calf
in Georgian = knife

About the English name common to our flower The Botanical Magazine of 1792 remarks sharply: '"Virginia Stock", a name highly improper, as it is found to be a native of the Mediterranean coast'. Regardless, it often after two centuries still goes by that moniker. The scientific name 'Malcolmia maritima' was devised by William Townsend Aiton (1766-1849) in 1812, to honor famous English nurseryman William Malcolm (fl.1750-1789). Earlier (e.g. by great Linnaeus) it had gone by the generic name 'Cheiranthus'.
This pretty little flower hails originally from the coasts of Greece and Albania but has become naturalised all over the world. Its colors move from white to yellow and a variety of pinks and purples and sometimes even red.
