What a special early morning (birthday) present from Nature this morning. Yes he is tattered and close to the end of his life, but Australia's Cairns Birdwing, Ornithoptera euphorion, is still an exotic sight.
As I walked around the corner of the house this morning I accidentally startled away a Spangled Drongo that thought it was about to have a tasty snack. Yes this male Cairns Birdwing was on the paving at the front of my home this morning trying to hide by the leg of a chair.

The great house stands in extensive grounds (360 hectares or 890 acres) above the River Fowey and it has been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1953. Much of the present house dates back to Victorian times but some sections date from the 1620s. It is a Grade I listed building and is set in gardens with formal areas. The hill behind the house is planted with a fine selection of shrubs and trees.
Lanhydrock estate belonged to the Augustinian priory of St Petroc at Bodmin but the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the 1530s saw it pass into private hands. In 1620 wealthy merchant Sir Richard Robartes, of Truro, acquired the estate and began building Lanhydrock House, designed to a four-sided layout around a central courtyard and constructed of grey granite. Robartes died in 1624 but work on the building was continued by his son John Robartes, 1st Earl of Radnor, a notable public figure who served as Lord Privy Seal and Lord President of the Council. The embattled walls were built of rude (rough), massive granite blocks with years 1636 and 1642 on the walls, indicating when they were built. A barbican gate was added and the house was garrisoned by Parliamentary forces in August 1644 when Sir Richard Grenville took possession.
Lanhydrock is a civil parish centred on a country estate and mansion in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The parish lies south of the town of Bodmin and is bounded to the north by Bodmin parish, to the south by Lanlivery parish and to the west by Lanivet parish.
The parish church is dedicated to St Hydroc and stands in the grounds of Lanhydrock House. Parts date back to the late 15th century and the church has a chancel, nave, north and south aisles and three-stage battlemented tower with nine bells. Eight bells date from the late 19th century and are regularly rung. The ninth bell dates from circa 1599 and is only rung infrequently for tolling.
I've made this bracelet together with the necklace for my mother. It was her birthday and she wanted something made by me.
My mother is my biggest fan, she is always showing off the handmade jewelry I give her.

Holy Trinity Church in Old Bewick is a secluded 12th-century church standing in isolation at the end of a single-track road, bounded by woodlands and bordered by a stream crossed by an ancient stone clapper bridge. Though the oldest part of the present building dates to the 12th century there is evidence of a much older Anglo-Saxon building.
The 12th-century church was damaged by a Scottish raid in the 13th century but was rebuilt, and restored again in the middle of the 14th century.
HISTORY
Could Holy Trinity have royal connections? According to tradition, the Old Bewick estate was given to Tynemouth Priory in 1107 by Queen Maud, the daughter of Malcolm Canmore of Scotland who died in battle at Alnwick in 1093 and is buried at Tynemouth.
The earliest written record of a church at Old Bewick comes from 1695 when the porch was added. Inside the porch are several 13th and 14th-century grave slabs and there are further medieval grave slabs inside the church.
Also in the porch is a curious piece of a cross shaft some 0.65m high and 0.4m across. From the shallow depression on top of the shaft, it seems that it may have been used as a plague stone at a later date.
Grinning faces on the chancel arch
One intriguing find during church restoration was a bell dated to the 13th century, which is now in the vestry. This would suggest that a bell tower had been added to the church by the late 15th century.
Tradition suggests that Scottish troops under General Lesley damaged the church again in 1640. It was restored in 1695 when the porch was added, but a few decades later the roof blew off and was not replaced. Holy Trinity stood roofless for many years until it was finally restored by JC Langlands, whose memorial can be seen at the corner of the lane leading to the church.
The chancel and rose windows are dedicated to JC Langlands (d 1852) and his wife Mary, and their son Charles Langlands, an ensign with the 43rd Light Infantry who died in action at the assault of the Gate Pah at Tauranga, New Zealand in 1864 at the age of 21.
The Langlands were a military family; beneath the plaques to JC Langlands and his son is another to his heir John Shakespear Langlands, a Major in the Oxfordshire 43rd Light Infantry who died in 1905 and his son Lieutenant Alan Langlands of the South Wales Borderers who was killed in action in 1915 at just 20 years of age.
14th-century effigy of a woman
The church layout is very simple, with a nave, chancel, apsidal sanctuary, and south porch. The lower sections of the nave walls are built with extremely large blocks of stone that may be re-used Roman stonework. The south doorway is extremely simple, with a blank tympanum and Victorian saltire carvings, though the responds are carved with original Norman designs.
One of the most intriguing historical features inside the church is the 14th-century effigy of a woman in the chancel, carved from freestone. We do not know who the effigy is meant to depict but it appears to be the work of a school of sculptors active in the Alnwick area until about 1340. The woman may have been the wife of the patron who paid for the 14th-century church rebuilding.
Perhaps the most interesting historical feature, however, is the chancel arch. The north pillar has a pair of peculiar grinning faces flanking a tree, beneath a row of saltires. The carvings may date to the 11th century and are very similar to a carving at Durham Castle. On the pillar separating the sanctuary and chancel is a very well-preserved consecration cross.

Lying against the north wall of the chancel is a fragment of a grave slab with an incised cross. In the nave is a very well-preserved medieval foliated grave slab.
The font appears to be Victorian, though in Norman style and standing on a very rough base that may be original. Given the number of Norman remains in the church I'm inclined to think that the font may be a recut Norman one, but the church guide is uninformative on the subject.
Holy Trinity Church is a delight; it is one of the finest Norman churches in north-east England and the combination of the Norman architecture and the isolated setting make for an unforgettable visiting experience.
GETTING THERE
Holy Trinity is at the end of a lane immediately north of Old Bewick between Eglingham and East Lilburn. There is space to park along the verge and the church is usually open daylight hours.

The pajamas are a Christmas present. I opened them early by accident. No, really! I didn't know what the package was or who it was from, and once I figured it out... well, if it isn't a suprise anymore, why wait and wait to use them?

I have no idea where our friends Glenys and Peter found this pot of teabags but what a perfect present for me.
Williamson tea, farmed since 1869 and still going strong. I'd never heard of it before. Top marks to Glenys and Peter.
PS for the benefit of any Spaniards who drop by to look at this photo, the title is a play on words because 'mighty' sounds the same as 'my tea' which of course this is!

La nuit est tombée sur Bombay. La mer frappe à grands coups réguliers la jetée qui conduit à la mosquée Adj Ali. Et ils sont des milliers qui roulent et tanguent et s'entrecroisent sur l'étroite bande de béton détrempée et gluante. Ni barrière ni garde-fou, rien. Rien que la foule qui danse comme les vagues, l'ombre, la chaleur moite et l'odeur très présente d'un océan de plus de vingt millions d'âmes et de corps...
Quero ver
você não chorar
não olhar pra trás
nem se arrepender do que faz…
Quero ver
o amor vencer
mas se a dor nascer
você resistir e sorrir…
Se você
pode ser assim
tão enorme assim
eu vou crer…
Que o Natal existe
que ninguém é triste
que no mundo há sempre amor…
Bom Natal um Feliz Natal
muito Amor e Paz pra Você…
pra VOCÊ.

Loosely followed the prompt.

Being present isn’t easy for me. I have trouble
slowing down and enjoying the moment. One of the goals I’ve made for myself this year is to do more with my kids, laugh more with my family and really be present. Today was the first day of summer vacation. Late in the afternoon, I wanted to get some work done, but Cooper and Shelby weren’t having it. “Mama, I miss you,” Cooper said. So I closed my laptop and went outside with the kids. I sat on the back porch, put my feet up and enjoyed the cool breeze. The kids ran past me; begged me to watch whatever crazy thing they were doing; and they smiled from ear to ear. Being present is so worth it ... it tastes so good.
