Looking to the side of the main house that looks out to the South . Behind where I am standing the ground drops away into a valley and is quite a suntrap ( when it shines of course !! ) .
‘This is a delicious house…’ remarked Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on her honeymoon at Polesden Lacey. This country retreat, with glorious views across the Surrey Hills, was home to formidable Edwardian hostess Mrs Greville. Marvel at the glittering Saloon, designed to impress kings and maharajahs, or admire her extensive art and porcelain collections.
There has been a house at Polesden Lacey since at least the C12 but the first house whose appearance is known was built for the Rous family and completed by 1631. The estate was purchased by Arthur Moore, an economist and politician, in 1723 and his son, William, extended the house between 1735 and 1748. The Moores probably began the construction of the Long Walk or Terrace, which overlooks the park. The Sheridan family purchased the estate in 1797 and the house was in ruins by c 1814, when Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the playwright and politician, pulled most of it down with the intention of rebuilding it. However it was left to Joseph Bonsor, a stationer and bookseller, who purchased the estate in 1818, to rebuild the house to the designs of Thomas Cubitt. Bonsor was also responsible for planting thousands of trees, and renovating the garden, park, and estate. Sir Walter Farquhar purchased the estate in 1853 from the Bonsor family, and he enlarged the house between 1853 and 1870, preserving most of Cubitt's structure. Farquhar's house was in turn rebuilt in 1903-5 by Ambrose Poynter for Sir Clinton Dawkins, a civil servant and financier, who owned Polesden Lacey between 1902 and his death in 1906. Mrs Greville and her husband, Captain the Hon Ronald Greville, bought Polesden in 1906 and commissioned Mewes and Davis to alter the house. Ronald Greville died in 1909 but Mrs Greville continued to own Polesden Lacey until 1942, during which time she entertained Edward VII and other members of the royal family there. The Polesden Lacey Estate was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1942, and the house and garden were rearranged for public opening. The National Trust continue (2000) to own and manage the estate.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and
he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the
Lord and shun evil. This will bring health
to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5-8
Came across this scene while walking back to hotel after dinner. Don't know anything about their relationship.
Friends? Lovers? Something else?
But one thing I was sure about. Trust remains at the heart of all such relationships.

On the edge of the National Trust's Malham Tarn Estate, Janet's Foss is of particular conservation importance.
Foss is the old Scandinavian word for a waterfall or force. According to legend, Janet (or Jennet) queen of the local fairies, lives in a cave behind the waterfall. The cave was formed by limestone bedrock being dissolved and eroded by the action of water and then re-deposited on mosses growing at the lip of the fall. This has caused the remarkable but fragile tufa screen, which reaches to the plunge pool below.
Many years ago, the pool below the waterfall was used as a sheepwash. Sheep were driven into the water and washed before shearing in late June.
The latest addition to the miscellany. This is common sight this time of year. Chickadees are fascinating little creatures with complex behaviour and amazing adaptations. I will never get tired of being able to lure them in this close. To learn more, check out my latest blog entry: wp.me/p10non-6N
[...] Denn was wir sind, hat noch niemand verstanden
Und was du fühlst, passt in keinen Gedanken
Und wer du bist, wirst du niemals ergründen,
wenn du nur tust, was sich andere wünschen.

...so..this is the little lady who showed up last winter as a little tiny kitten in the midst of a 5 degree F cold snap.
Before long she was inside looking out!
At 6'5" I tower over this tiny creature. I am pretty sure my FEET weigh more than she does.....I am ever so careful not to step on her......and yet when I reach out for her, she does THIS....no flinching, no running under the sofa; far from it :)
Not sure how I earned her trust but I am happy it is there....cats are good for people!
So very proud to have been asked for an interview with the app whisperer website. If you have any interest in mobile photography, this is one of the very best websites out there.
You can read the interview here. Leave a comment if you want. Again, many thanks to Joanne.

I drive by this little church frequently in the valley that I live in and am reminded of my faith in Jesus by these crosses.
I have never cared for the phrase "Jack of all trades master of none". It gives a compliment and at the same time takes it away. Just like the person who will never be satisfied with the skill that you have 'mastered'. I think the genius who originated that phrase must of been having a bad day. All it takes is to have only one person that you made happy in the performance of one of your skills to realize that you have become a *Master*... then you have become *Master* of *Yourself*.
From: I Believe In Magic... Day 5 is this partial poem by David Whyte regards *Trust*...
Start right now
take a small step
you can call your own
don’t follow
someone else’s
heroics, be humble
and focused,
start close in,
don’t mistake
that other
for your own.
Start close in,
don’t take
the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take.

The Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT) in Burscough will be holding its annual Open Day event on Sunday July 30th to raise funds for the upkeep of its fleet of over 50 historic vehicles.
This is a rare and unique opportunity to see the vast collection of buses (and a train) in various stages of restoration.
The event is also aimed to attract new members, volunteers, sponsorship and generate interest within the community.
This year’s event will feature bus rides around the surrounding area, serving local pubs, several scenic West Lancashire villages and supporting local businesses.
There will be numerous vehicles on display including visiting vehicles from other preservation groups, sales stands and talks given about the group’s latest projects and how people can become involved.
The MTT and the Annual Open Day is run entirely by volunteers and the MTT is always keen to see more people actively involved as well as to see the associated skills base that goes with this expanded.
Light refreshments will be available with all proceeds going to the charity and entry is free. A souvenir programme and guide to the day will be available and any donations you would like to make to the group would be most welcome which will go towards the continued restoration and safe keeping of the unique collection.
The event will be held at the MTT’s base off Tollgate Road, Burscough, L40 8TG.
Free car parking will be available with a free park & ride bus service connecting the two sites.
A free shuttle service will also run connecting the event to Ormskirk & Burscough Bus/Rail Interchanges.
Doors open from 10.30until 4.30pm.

*I've always wanted to do a 365 project sort of thing, but I know I would never be able to keep up with it. Laziness just always gets to me & I feel like if I did a project like that, I'd be taking a forced photo every day that didn't come from inspiration.
