Seven Days of Self Day 03 — Trust: Being able to trust yourself is important. I rely hugely on instinct, rationality & logic to get me through life, without them I'd be pretty lost. Sometimes I need to sit quietly for a few minutes to let me mind work through whatever is going on in life.
See the behind the scenes on my blog.

This piece is inspired from a book in the Bible that I love so much, Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Too often we love to trust our own opinions and not those of God because we prefer being in that position of power in our lives and we crave to be in control. We feel that God has no idea about our situations and therefore we fear to let Him take over our lives because we know that His ways are not our ways and we do not like that. Letting him do things His ways means that we have to step down and let Him take control. Now my question is- is that really a bad thing?
When was the last time you felt that you headed down in the right direction by simply trusting your own ideas and opinions? Our plans are absolutely uncertain and to place faith on ourselves is to be like that guy who built his house on sandy ground. God is ever constant and He doesn’t change. He is our Father and He knows what is best for us and so my prayer to you today is that you be able to step out of your comfort zone and trust in God to lead your life and to bring you to a place much better and greater than you are right now.
Loved working on this piece and I decided that it should be a two-part series so expect another one from the same theme. I hope you all are having a wonderful day. God Loves you and I do too and be kind to one another.
Many Blessings,
+ Jude // quaeriteverum.tumblr.com

Vindolanda was a Roman auxiliary fort (castrum) just south of Hadrian's Wall, which it predates, in northern England. Located near the modern village of Bardon Mill, it guarded the Stanegate, the Roman road from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. It is noted for the Vindolanda tablets, among the most important finds of military and private correspondence (written on wooden tablets) found anywhere in the Roman Empire.
On a warm but overcast sky it was a excellent day for visiting this great National Trust property, our first since the countries lockdown but not our first to this property as shown in my flickr albums.

We used seek on the mobile to find out what it was. We had sat down to rest D's toe and we saw movement and went to investigate.
I've used google image search and there are quite a few options as to what it might be.
So hopefully the Id please group might be able to help.
Cragside is a country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a forest garden of just under 1,000 acres, it was the country home of armaments manufacturer, Lord Armstrong, and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1977. The property was opened to the public in 1979.
Cragside, named after Cragend Hill above the house, was built in 1863 as a modest two-storey country lodge, but was subsequently extended to designs by Richard Norman Shaw, transforming it into an elaborate mansion in the Free Tudor style. At one point, the building included an astronomical observatory and a scientific laboratory. The Grade I listed house is surrounded by one of Europe's largest rock gardens, a large number of rhododendrons and a large collection of mostly coniferous trees. One variety of rhododendron is named after Lady Armstrong.
Lord Armstrong spent much of his time as a child in Rothbury to get away from industrial Newcastle to alleviate his ill health. He returned to Rothbury after not having a holiday for many years and decided to build a modest house on the side of a moorland crag. The original house was completed in 1863 by an unknown architect but was transformed by architect Richard Norman Shaw between 1869 and 1884 into an imposing mansion. Cragside is an example of his English Gothic style. The interiors are of national importance for its collection of furnishings, furniture (much designed especially for Cragside), and fine and decorative arts, including work by many other outstanding designers of the age, such as John Hancock and Albany Hancock and William Morris.
In 2007, Cragside reopened after undergoing "total refurbishment."
In 1868, a hydraulic engine was installed, with water being used to power labour-saving machines such as laundry equipment, a rotisserie and a hydraulic lift. Armstrong was inspired by a watermill on the Dee in Dentdale, and in 1870, water from one of the estate's lakes was used to drive a Siemens dynamo in what was the world's first hydroelectric power station. The resultant electricity was used to power an arc lamp installed in the Gallery in 1878. The arc lamp was replaced in 1880 by Joseph Swan's incandescent lamps in what Swan considered 'the first proper installation' of electric lighting.
The generators, which also provided power for the farm buildings on the estate, were constantly extended and improved to match the increasing electrical demand in the house. The 2006 regeneration project included extensive rewiring.
A new screw turbine was installed in 2014; it can provide 12 kW, supplying around 10% of the property's electricity consumption. The new system uses an Archimedes' screw 17 metres (56 ft) long.
The use of electricity in many of the houses gadgets and internal systems has also led it to be described by some as a smart home as it was the first private residence to use incandescent lighting, a dish washer, a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine. One of Armstrong's stated aims of both using and funding these new automation technologies was to "emancipate the world from household drudgery", as shown on a plaque at Bamburgh Castle, his other residence.
The forthcoming Benedict Cumberbatch film “The Current War” was filmed partly at Cragside - the film tells the story of electricity pioneers Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse.

You are welcome to visit the Parish Church when you visit (not National Trust), donations are welcome.

New Zealand - Ron stands in front of a roadside trust box.
A trust box is untended roadside stand in which farmers sell their goods without being present. The trustbox uses the honor system for payment. There will usually be a box for buyers to slip in the posted amount. This particular stand sells local honey.
I paid special attention to this particular spot as I love honey (mmm, honey cookies!) and find the notion of trust one of the most attractive characteristics of rural tourism.
BTW, trust boxes are also something I have not yet seen in Latin America.

A couple at the High Line had an exercise in trust; sure enough, she was caught safely enough, although there was a brief moment where it looked like things were going south.
