Seven more chairs from Standen (National Trust).
The house currently has a 1970's theme/exhibition, which will be taken down at the end of October.
Standen always put on a wonderful Christmas display and it will be interesting to see what they do this year.
I had been searching for a Mother, and I have found her in the Catholic Church. Nay, the Church itself is the Mother of the faithful. In her motherly hands, severity is tempered by mildness; discipline conduces to a healthy freedom; inebriation and sobriety, feeling and dogma, emotion and reason are duly balanced; the Sacraments are the regular channels of grace and the Holy Spirit; the Bible is a part of a living tradition, the liturgical year is a tree planted by the streams of water, bearing flowers and yielding fruits for each season; asceticism becomes a source of gaiety and festivity; sanctity becomes the true romance of life; and mysticism is transformed into a living fountain of virtues. There is unity in diversity, and diversity in unity. True individuality is realized in catholicity. St. Thérèse has said it for me, “Fear makes me shrink, whereas under love’s sweet rule I not only advance—I fly.”

Some faces carry a rare kind of naivety.
Not childish — but brave enough to trust.
This is not about innocence.
It is about openness.
Dedicated to Lelya, goddess of love and gentle beginnings.

Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Looking down an avenue of trees the glasshouse at Clumber Park draws you in. It wasn't for me but Shirley was drawn to the display of 130 varieties of rhubarb.
Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles (3 kilometres) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1928 and quickly sold again. In 1929, following a failed attempt to dismantle and rebuild the house in the US, it was stripped of many of its fixtures and fittings and all but abandoned.
During World War II, the house was again requisitioned and served as a barracks, a training ground for tanks, and finally a prisoner of war camp—all activities unsuited to the preservation of an already semi-derelict building. In 1952, a time when hundreds of British country houses were being demolished, it was said of Basildon Park "to say it was derelict, is hardly good enough, no window was left intact and most were repaired with cardboard or plywood."[1]
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy.

Recently I realized his life project, what he was trying to tell me....took me a long time but I did. The circles and the lines, the life trails. Smaller circles inside larger circles, circles that osculate, lines that intersect, lines with parallel traces...meeting points, shapes, forever moving, forever changing. He showed me, but I could not see then. Now, I need an eternity to digest it. Please, can you stop and think about it for a minute, can you focus? Can you put these pieces in order? The sunshine in your eyes, a random touch, the way you can see behind the walls I put in front of me, the inconvenient silence, the whispers floating above our heads, the tears-these tiny rivers of relief, the empty words and the words with endless meanings-can you really distinguish? You know, my real self wanders somewhere far away from here and all these lines, all these circles are papercuts on its skin. We all carry our cross, but some carry crosses made of silk-it's not so easy to bleed this way, especially when you stand inbetween. Still, I do believe in wonders, I do believe that a flame can burn inside an iceberg. But if I could put it down in words I wouldn't take photos, if I could write poems I wouldn't keep this imaginary diary. It is obvious for you, isn't it? I know you can decode it, I know you can burn down this labyrinth, I know you can take me by the hand and lead me to the exit. I trust you.
