"Out of Sight" written and illustrated by Charles Lapointe, Harcourt Childrens Books, 1995. I liked the illustrations but the book only received so-so ratings. Trying to show children there's life outside without video games is a tough sell these days. In my collection. Dec. 2022
...sight for sore eyes! As we crossed Khardungla and started to descend, we saw this spectacular sight - where mountains were in layers - each with a color of brown and ice!
The bue hut is the army base, where they stay, as they watch over!

I liked this shot of a little girl at the Point Loma tide pools. She looks a bit like a selkie, staring out at the sea.
On our way back from Suffolk, we decided to have lunch in the White Hart at Blythburgh, meaning we had an hour to kill before midday when the food was started to be served.
Jools wan't surprised I had a list of churches to visit, just one being open would have been OK.
But Rushmere, Wrentham, Frostenden were all locked.
Last chance saloon was South Cove.
Standing tall beside a farm on a crossroads, I Park and try the porch door.
It opened.
Inside it was dark, a single light came on via a motion detector, so I didn't bother to find the main light switch, and in the process missed the painted panel Simon describes below.
Darn it.
-------------------------------------------
This little building is situated just to the north of Southwold and Reydon's urban sprawl. Actually, that makes it sound rather suburban, and it isn't at all, for the tiny lanes that spread between here and the curiously named Frostenden Bottom are as narrow, overshadowed and remote as any you'll find anywhere up here in the north east of the county. The village here is called South Cove to distinguish it from Covehithe, formerly simply Cove, rather than from North Cove which is away on the Norfolk border. There isn't really much of a village here at all, and when I first visited in 1998 there was only one service a month. But this is as pretty and as well-cared for a church as you could wish, and despite its location on the busy Southwold to Wrentham road it has a lovely setting beside a farmyard, and like all thatched churches looks very fine. If you've ever seen the film Iris, the story of the writer Iris Murdoch, you may recognise it as the church where she gets married.
You step from the trim churchyard through the fine Norman south door into a thoroughly Victorian interior, reminiscent of Uggeshall and Sotherton. It has aged well; someone with imagination worked here. The interior is narrow, with a fine medieval roof, and the Victorianisms shouldn't distract us from the fact that this is essentially a Norman building, with much surviving evidence.
Isn't it strange how you can never really disguise a Norman church? You can punch its walls with Dec and Perp windows, you can add an elaborate tower at the west end, you can fill it full of pitch-pine pews, but it still retains that essential Norman-ness. There's a typical East Anglian font, in pretty poor condition. The central gangway widens towards the west, which is rather pleasing. The modern reredos includes a gridiron, the instrument of St Lawrence's gruesome torture. Part of the medieval roodscreen survives, with apparently medieval painting at the top, but no images on the panels of the dado.
The great treasure of the church has been well-preserved. It is a large piece of wood, two planks in fact, set in the entrance to the rood loft stairs, and on it is painted the archangel St Michael triumphing over a dragon. It may well have been that rood loft stairways originally had doors - indeed, hinges survive at some churches. But there is no getting away from the fact that this does not look like a door. There is no handle, and no hinges, for a start. So, what is it?
I think we would be correct to assume that the 16th century reformers were keen to get rid of rood loft stairs, either out of theological expediency, or simple embarrassment that they could ever have fallen for those papist tricks. As anyone who has dabbled in DIY will tell you, the easiest way to block up an entrance is to close the door and plaster over it (I ought to add that I've never dabbled in DIY - I asked someone.)
If there isn't a door, then you fit panels into the space, and then plaster over it. I'm guessing here, but I think that when the Victorians went about their business resacramentalising the churches of England and Wales, they deliberately opened up rood loft stairs to restore a sense of the medieval. Some stairway entrances had been filled with rubble. But mostly, they'd been covered over, and plastered. You'd find them by the hollow sound when you tapped them. The Victorians stripped back the plaster, removed the panelling, burnt it, and thought no more about it.
Except here. The Victorians seem to have discovered something rather remarkable and exciting (it simply isn't credible that this image survived the long puritan nightmare of the Church of England on display). I think this image spent several centuries under plaster - note the damage done by a sharp instrument. At first sight, you might think that this is an example of protestant iconoclasm. But it isn't. A professional plasterer friend of mine tells me that this is what you have to do to wood to get the plaster to stick to it.
So, we must ask ourselves: what was this panelling originally? Was it a door? Or was it put there in the 1540s to block the rood loft off? And if so, where was it taken from? Was it originally from a doom tympanum, as at Wenhaston? I couldn't help being reminded of the wonderful archangels on the rood screen at Ranworth in Norfolk. Could it have come from one of the Dunwich churches before it was lost to the sea? I suppose we'll never know.

A rare sighting of both Y292 PDN (Optare Solo on the left) and P510 RYM (Dennis Dart MKI on the right) both with Shoreys Travel. P510 RYM was on the 77X/78X all on one end of term lunchtime service, and so had it's first ever visit to Bedford, and Y292 PDN was on the 78X for the few that get off at Maulden, Ampthill and Flitwick.

Sari Wollmann Springhill Colony
A Starry Sight
pieced & quilted by Sari Wollmann
When I was 12 I began sewing; three of us took a sewing course for school. By the end of the term we had sewn a shirt, a blouse, a dress. Getting to make my own dresses was great for a while, but there was always something else lurking behind that needle and thread. When a quilting course popped up in Fairholme a few of us grabbed the chance. The first project was the Bargello baby quilt. I absolutely loved it! When I got home I went on and made a few more baby quilts. A while later, another course was offered and I took it to! This time we made the reversible quilt. After this, I had all the colour schemes, tools and shortcuts figured out. Thus began my quilting years.
Years later, with at least seven big quilts, twenty runners, and a dozen baby quilts behind me, I finally had the chance to sit down at our Bernina machine and sew a quilt for my very own. I've made a several big quilts for other people, so when it came to making this quilt, the feeling that I was finally making one for myself, was unique! I love green, so the colours kind of fell together. The hardest part was deciding to add on a red border although it wasn't in the middle panel. Looking at our quilt now we realize it wouldn't be as beautiful without the red colour. With mom's help at the ironing table, I managed to accomplish a lot, and in a very short while, I had finished my project. Looks can be deceiving though: I had spent hours and months poring over my colours, figuring out which pattern to use Eyes of March, revising it to my liking and best of all which design to stitch on the finished quilt. I love quilting my quilts, because the flat look appeals to me. My wedding quilt is still my favourite ¬– I love the colour green, as does my husband Rodney. And of course our bed is made every day!
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand, on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. This temple is one of the most visible of all the temples in Bangkok.
After a busy day of sightseeing, my friends went to a shopping mall and Heather stayed in the hotel room to cool off. Since I have no sense I went out into the brutal sun to visit Wat Arun. I took the water bus right to the temple and just walked around. The place is very impressive - the architecture and decorations are incredible. Wow! I somehow took a wrong turn and ended up in some sections of the complex where there were no other people - very nice. This is one place I would definitely go back to.
I took these photos in April 2019.
