The caption information on the back of this picture from July, 1989, still leaves a few questions unanswered. It reads: "Pictured leaving the Arbroath Venture Trust Ofices for Cherrybank on Tuesday morning are from left - Steve Wales, Colleen Mochan, Faye Gillies, Moira Wallace, Kelly Cruickshanks, Bill Gilmour, Graham Henderson, Wilma Maver and Laurie Smith."
All Saints, Shirburn, Oxfordshire.
Grade ll listed.
The Earls of Macclesfield have owned Shirburn Castle since 1716. The north transept of All Saints' Church contains their family pew and the north chapel is the Macclesfield family mausoleum. - See more at: www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurch...
Shirburn Castle is a fortress - even today. I understand even Dr Pevsner was unable to gain access for the Oxfordshire volume of his Buildings of England books.
I have read the church is also difficult of access despite it being a Churched Conservation Trust church, but I have to say the people in the Shirburn Estate office were very accommodating.
Consider the sharp blade of the seed
within the bound solidity of silk----
how can we trust
such succulence, so mortal?

Cliveden (pronounced Klivd'n) is an English country house and estate in the care of the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, on the border with Berkshire. The Italianate mansion, also known as Cliveden House, crowns an outlying ridge of the Chiltern Hills close to the South Bucks villages of Burnham and Taplow. The main house sits 40 metres (130 ft) above the banks of the River Thames, and its grounds slope down to the river. Cliveden has become one of the National Trust's most popular pay-for-entry visitor attractions, hosting 524,807 visitors in 2019.
Cliveden has been the home to a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and finally the Viscounts Astor. As the home of Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, Cliveden was the meeting place of the 'Cliveden Set' of the 1920s and 30s—a group of political intellectuals.
Later, during the early 1960s when it was the home of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it became the setting for key events of the notorious Profumo affair.
After the Astor family stopped living there, by the 1970s it was leased to Stanford University, which used it as an overseas campus. Today the house is leased to a company that runs it as a five-star hotel.
Nostell Priory is a Palladian house located in Nostell, near Crofton close to Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, approached by the Doncaster road from Wakefield.

There's a long story behind this photo. When you look at it you think, "awe a little boy and his horse!" but it took so long to get to where we are now.
Storm, the mustang, arrived at Pasture Pals Equine Rescue on November 23, 2014. He was flea bitten and lived his whole 10 years of life in a 10x10 stall, never turned out, never broke, never trained. When he was brought to the rescue, he was even afraid of stepping out of the trailer on to dirt. He was scared of everything, and still to this day won't let people touch him without being coaxed in to it. Even then, he's very temperamental about where we touch him, and for how long we touch him.
The Ninjababy told me today "I wanna go say hi to the white horsey!" I said "Ok! Good luck with that!" and he climbed up on to the rails of the round pen. I look over and watch this wild stallion walk up to my 4 year old and start smelling him. I was so nervous about this because he is so skiddish of people, and was thinking of a way to tell my husband why our son no longer had a face. Suddenly, the horse was asking him to touch him. The ninjababy rubbed his face, his back, his backside, over and over again.
Please visit and like Pasture Pals Equine Rescue's Facebook Page for more information on him or any of the other horses, miniature horses and donkeys!

A National Trust garden in the Sussex Weald. The garden was originally laid out in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.
We're particularly fond of this garden for very personal reasons. One of our daughters declared, when she was 10 years old, that she wanted to be a gardener. At that point she took over the running of our garden, taking most of the lawn away, putting in large borders which she filled with plants that she'd mainly propagated herself. When she finished her home schooling, she went to college for two years and, on the first year, she had to do day release somewhere locally in horticulture. We decided to start applying for places at the top, and what better place could there be than with the National Trust. Nymans only took on four students a year at that time, and Florence was one of the lucky ones who was chosen. So, one day a week, for a year, she got trained in this beautiful garden. It stood her in good stead, she learnt so much, and has really helped her in her career as a gardener.
Laboratory 3 (National Trust building F2) built between 1955 and 1958, was the climatic testing lab comprising two elements, the laboratory itself and the Condense Pump House to the east. Its function was to either warm or chill a weapon to simulate the variations of temperature that it might face in service. It is constructed from reinforced concrete with a barrel vaulted roof and entered from its south side through a concrete canopy, and whose southern wall was revetted with shingle. To manoeuvre the heavy test objects into position there was a hoist mounted on a beam secured to the underside of the canopy and roof of the main chamber, traces of its fittings may still be seen. Entry into the chamber was originally through double wooden doors, in common with the other earlier Laboratories security was strengthened by the addition of crude welded steel doors which may be post-AWRE features. At the top of these doors is a slot for the overhead lifting beam indicating that the doors were added while the building was operational. The interior comprises a large central chamber, 24.50m (80ft 5ins) by 6.0m (19ft 6in), and is divided into two sections. To the south was the preparation area and on its walls are the remains of electric conduits and small bore pipes for electric cabling. To the north was a rear insulated chamber 13.5m (44ft 4in) in length, which was separated from the preparation area by a cement covered expandomesh wall and a metal clad sliding door carried on an overhead rail. This slid into a corridor to the west that also gives access to a small switch room. The working area of the rear chamber measured 9.14m (30ft) by 3m (10ft) by 3m (10ft) and its floor set on four dwarf concrete walls was capable of supporting 6 tons. The temperature range that could be achieved varied between plus 60° to minus 60° centigrade, and humidity 20° on either side of the ambient, while undergoing thermal tests an object might also be subject to vibration.
This photo should really be a depressing one, but since I don't take pictures of myself when I'm sad, I don't have any to post. I can't trust someone anymore, and I hate it. The beginning of this summer has sucked. I need to go to some island and get away from everything. Cause honestly, I can't deal with it any longer. I need to just put myself in God's hands.
On the brightside, I like this photo =)

VAâs annual Brain Trust summit offers platform for innovations in brain health and head trauma
From a software platform for traumatic brain injury to a virtual reality device that assists Veterans with behavioral health issues, 15 competitors pitched a diversity of ideas during demo day at the Brain Trust: Pathways to InnoVAtion summit, hosted by VA on May 18 in Boston. The annual two-day event assembled more than 350 invited participants from the federal government, private industry, professional sports, medical research, caregivers and Veteran communities to collaborate and advance discussions around the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion. âWe have an unbelievable opportunity to accelerate the speed of change,â said retired Army Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, CEO of Optum Military and Veterans Group, to the 15 industry and academic innovators who had come to pitch their ideas on TBI and head trauma to a panel of judges. âToday, the impossible gets challenged.âAfter reviewing a series of short presentations from competitors, the judges selected three winners: The Daptly Display, a gesture and voice-controlled assistant for the home or office; Save a Warrior: A peer-to-peer, archetypal approach for healing combat trauma and moral injury; and Recovery Acceleration Program for mild TBI by King-Devick Technologies. The winners will have the potential opportunity to implement and deploy their innovations with VA. âWe feel incredibly honored to be selected as a winner of the VA Innovation awards, which will further our opportunity to provide services to our Veterans,â said Steve Devick, CEO of King-Devick Technologies, who explained how his project would help Veterans impacted by TBI. âThe King-Devick technologies innovations are related to the fact that eye movements and vision are responsible for approximately 55 percent of brain function. âAs a result, implementing our recovery acceleration program by involving these pathways leads to faster concussions and TBI recovery when used with standard remediation. Additionally, caregivers can measure defects in eye movements, which may lead to dosage changes in chronic degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimerâs disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsonâs disease. â  During the event, VA officials announced key partnerships with several influential organizations, including: Amazon, which donated 100 Echo devices with Alexa voice service to VAâs Assistive Technology Labs to help meet the needs of Veterans; Cohen Veterans Bioscience, which is coordinating efforts with VA to integrate data across dozens of labs to facilitate breakthroughs in trauma-related disorders; Booz Allen Hamilton; Comcast; Concussion Legacy Foundation; GE; IBM; Infinite Hero Foundation; Johnson & Johnson; Optum; Outward Bound; PenFed Foundation, Philips; the Warrior Care Network and the National Institutes of Health, which is co-hosting a âState of the Scienceâ workshop in 2018 that will focus on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases.
