Our middle cat, TJ must be the most curious feline on the planet. He investigates everything, and wants to see firsthand whatever is going on in our house. He's a good companion to me and my husband, and follows us around and asks to see and smell anything we touch. But when it comes to other people, TJ has no interest. He positively hates when we have guests in our home. He instantly runs and hides and stays hidden until the guests leave, no matter how long that takes. As soon as they are gone, TJ reappears as if nothing has happened.
Except for Bert. Our friend Bert has this mysterious relationship with TJ that no other human besides my husband and I have ever experienced. TJ simply loves Bert, and trusts Bert to be gentle with him and give him quality loving when he visits us.
I captured these pics of Bert and TJ in our hallway on New Year's Eve. TJ had been hiding under the guest room bed, but when he realized it was Bert in the hallway, he came out to greet him and rub his legs, as if to say "Long time no see, buddy!". And I just had to capture the special moment with my camera.
I was so scared I cried... First time I've ever cried out of fear. Funny thing was I intended to follow it through and wouldn't back out.
The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Trust est un groupe de hard rock et heavy metal français, originaire de Nanterre, dans les Hauts-de-Seine. Il est formé en 1977 et popularisé au début des années 1980. Trust est le seul groupe français de son style à avoir connu un vrai succès populaire, surtout dans les années 1979 à 1983 avec de nombreux passages sur les radios périphériques et même plusieurs invitations à la télévision dans des émissions grand public.
Trust a joué avec des groupes anglo-saxons : AC/DC, Iron Maiden ou Anthrax. Le groupe est toujours connu en France à travers son titre Antisocial qui passe encore à la radio, plus de trente ans après sa sortie. La force et l'originalité du groupe venait de la façon puissante dont le chanteur, Bernard Bonvoisin, exprimait des paroles largement inspirées par la politique et la critique sociale.
Trust is a French heavy metal band founded in 1977 and popular in Europe in the first half of the 1980s. The band was best known for guitarist Norbert "Nono" Krief's prowess, for Bernard "Bernie" Bonvoisin's voice reminiscent of AC/DC's Bon Scott and for his lyrics about social and political themes. Iron Maiden's drummers Nicko McBrain and Clive Burr were part of Trust line-up in the 1980s. The band disbanded in 1984 and reformed in the 2000s for live shows and new recordings.
Trust est le premier album du groupe de hard rock français Trust sorti en 1979.

This dog knew none of the visitors who streamed by him and his team. He sat so calmly and happily greeted everyone, allowing them to pet him without complaint. I'm not sure who's happier in this photo: the man or the dog.
This is the same dog who went Zen moments after this shot was taken.
Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.
