As I drifted under and then behind her perch on Horsepen Bayou, Ms American Bald Eagle repositioned herself to better keep an eye on me.
The Great Hall, which forms the entrance to the house, has a superb collection of armour, pikes and muskets. Cotehele is a medieval house near Calstock in Cornwall. Now owned by the National Trust, the house was built by Sir Richard Edgcumbe from 1485-89 and his son, Sir Piers Edgcumbe, from 1489-1520. This house is one of the least altered of the Tudor houses in the United Kingdom. Unoccupied for the past two centuries, it has served as a repository for unwanted tapestries and furniture.

This is the more classic view of this bank, showing the two sides.
The chairman of this bank specifically requested a building that shone as a beacon and conveyed transparency and openness. This was in stark contrast to the imposing, fortress-like stone bank buildings that were typical of the time, and was then widely copied throughout the rest of the country and the world. The design was a tremendous success.
MHT was acquired by Chase Manhattan in the 1990s. This building recently closed as a bank branch and was the subject of some controversy, as the developer was going to split the building into two separate retail structures - destroying the look of the building. Also, two art pieces by Harry Bertoia that were part of the original design were removed. But after a lawsuit and strong outcry from the public, the developer agreed to keep it more or less intact, and to put the sculptures back in their original spots. It's now a clothing store and the Bertoia sculptures are well cared for.
Would you like to watch closer?
I am so busy actually, that i am not even up to date with commenting your beautiful posts of the last days!! But i watched many!!!
So now i feel the urge to upload a capture, which represents peace, relief, and an absolut stress - free situation :-)))
This is my cat Benjamin, a wild and aggressive street cat in the beginning, who bit me several times and was really dangerous (you can still see a scar at his nose, not to talk about some on my arms :-)) ).
But my constantly talking to him, petting him as much as possible, allowing him to stay, where he felt safe, let him free, when he needed to keep distance, finally tamed him.
Today he loves me wholeheartedly (not yet unconditional, i have to earn it every now and then again ....... haa haa haa ), trusts me (not yet completely, but more or less ;-) ) and tries to stay close to me, whenever possible.
And this touches my heart so deeply - i can see, how much he struggled to overcome his nearly inborn fear of human beings or of being hurt, beaten or rejected.
Isn't this the same with human beings? Being patient and friendly, giving space, when it is needed, hugging, when sadness is around and trying to create a space, where the feeling of safety and shelter can grow - can also tame the ever living fear in human beings of being rejected, being abandoned, being hurt.
There are hands that will support you in any possible way, there are also hands that will try to bury you.
Put your trust on the right people and let the wrong ones apart, everyone will make you grow in the end, but only if you’ll separate what is good and what is bad for your health. Collect love from the ones who love you, learn from people that hurt you.

Managed to fit in a visit to Kingston Lacy before the rain arrived.
22nd April 2024.
On this day........
1838 - The British Packet Steamer 'Sirius' made the first transatlantic crossing by steam power, reaching New York from Cork in 18days and 10 hours.
1870 - Vladimir Lenin, prime minister of Soviet Union was born.
1969 - Robin Knox-Johnston won the race for non-stop single handed circumnavigation of the globe.
1994 - Former U.S. president Richard M. Nixon died.
On 23 October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, four U.S. Navy P-3A aircrews from Patrol Squadron 8 (VP-8) and four from VP-44 began enforcing President John F. Kennedy’s blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet missiles from reaching the island. The P-3 crews patrolled the Atlantic sea lanes to locate and track Soviet cargo ships carrying missiles or launch support equipment. After the crisis ended, a VP-44 crew was photographed flying close surveillance over the Russian freighter Anasov on its return to the Soviet Union. Anasov was the only Russian vessel that refused to uncover the large oblong objects lashed to its deck. The Orion crew was able to verify that the objects were crated missiles, and the ship was allowed to proceed. lockheedmartin.com/codeone
we only came across this looking for a windmill and spent several hours looking at the wonderful gardens all for free so just donated to the trust via a collection box
HISTORY
At the turn of last century Edward Thomas Boardman, a prominent Norwich architect, seeking a country retreat, purchased some 800 acres of marsh, pasture and farmland bordering the River Ant north of Ludham. The most striking feature of this estate was a knoll of glacial sand and gravel some fifty feet above sea level, one of the highest points in the entire Broads district. Mr Boardman chose this spot to build an imposing thatched mansion in 1905, which he and his family used initially as a holiday home. During the first World War the house was extended and it became the family home in 1918.
Outside Mr. Boardman planted two quite separate garden areas. The formal gardens, to the front of the house, are dominated by sculptured hedges of yew, creating a maze-like effect. At the foot of the hill are the celebrated secret gardens, a series of inter-connected ponds and channels surrounded by raised peat beds. In spring these gardens are a tropical blaze of colour, as the various azaleas and rhododendrons come into flower. Additionally there are specimen trees, including a dawn redwood, swamp cypresses and pin oaks, together with several exotic shrubs. The waterways are home not only to lilies but also to plants which were once common in the Norfolk Broads, but have now become scarce in Broadland because of water quality problems.
Mr. Boardman planted 70,000 trees at How Hill, and established a fruit farm. However, when he died the estate was split, and eventually in 1966 the marshes, woodland and gardens were bought, with the House itself, by Norfolk County Council Education Department. Their holding represented all the wilder parts of How Hill, as well as the gardens, and covered a total of 360 acres.
For many years ‘Hitler’s Oak’ was a notable tree on the estate. In 1936 the eldest Boardman son, Christopher competed in the Berlin Oylmpic Games, where, along with his team he won a gold medal for sailing. Adolf Hitler presented all medallists with an oak sapling, and Christopher chose to plant his behind the house at How Hill. The tree grew happily for many years, but was eventually killed by honey fungus. It was decided that a fitting memorial to its history was needed and, in early 2017 the remaining tree stump was carved into a sailing boat and olympic rings. More information and pictures here.
How Hill House is now listed, Grade II, and there are four other grade II listed buildings on the estate. These include three drainage windmills, Turf Fen, Boardman’s Mill, and Clayrack Mill. Each is unique and under the care of the Norfolk Mills and Pumps Trust. There is also a former marshman’s house, called Toad Hole Cottage, which has been refurbished to give an impression of the old way of life of a Broadland marshman. Toad Hole Cottage is run by the Broads Authority as a museum and Broads information centre. Entry is free. More Toad Hole Cottage information here.
The 222 acre marshland nature reserve at How Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and was declared a National Nature Reserve in 2006. It produces an annual crop of reed and sedge for thatching, and provides a habitat for swallowtail butterflies, marsh harriers and other wildlife. The estate includes Crome’s Broad, a secluded shallow broad which has clear water, which is therefore suitable for the growth of water lilies and other aquatic plants, unlike most of the larger broads. The nature reserve can be explored via the

Situated along the Euston Road, this building certainly dominates the Euston area...and looks beautiful at night.
