It was a great party. All kind of magic was around.
Imagine the bottle inside and the drinking outside.
She managed a ful glass . . . How?
Great magic!

The church of St John the Evangelist at Shobdon is quite simply unique, and deservedly renowned. The picturesque setting on high ground near the remaining parts of Shobdon Court requires some seeking out via a long leafy drive, very much the private estate church but happily open to all. At first glance it appears to be a medieval building as the old square tower still stands proud, but the nave windows beyond it betray Georgian Gothick rebuilding. Nothing however prepares the visitor for the icing-sugar fantasy of the interior that lies within.
Shobdon church was originally a 12th century Norman building adorned with much fine carving, the austere tower we see today was a later addition from the 14th century. Everything changed in 1749 when John 2nd Viscount Bateman decided to demolish the body of the church and rebuild it in an extraordinary 18th century Rococco version of Gothic (influenced by Horace Walpole's 'Strawberry Hill') with a plastered interior finished in white and a subtle shade of blue, the very epitome of architectural confectionary! The church has remained virtually unaltered ever since work finished in 1752.
Whilst the new church is a real gem and something quite unique the loss of its Norman predecessor is a tragedy. The carvings however were reused in a nearby folly (now known as the 'Shobdon Arches') which incorporated the old chancel arch and both the north and south doorways along with their tympana. Alas their more exposed relocation along with softness of the sandstone led to these carvings becoming disastrously eroded in the last two centuries so that the carvings are now barely even a shadow of their former state. The old font with carved lions around the stem remains in the rebuilt church.
Shobdon church is something special and rewards the visitor with its delicate interior. The arches too should be seen even in their current sorry state to understand the story of the site. Both are normally open on a daily basis.

Housing built 1911-13 for self-sufficient single women by a group of women, one of them Julia von Bahr, CEO in the housing company Hemtrefnad. Prominent men in Gothenburg also bought shares to support the company Hemtrefnad. A lot of women had started to work and had difficulties to afford an apartment. The building contained more than 50 apartments, most of them a room with a small kitchen. On the top floor there was a restaurant and a lounge, in the basement laundry and bath. The apartments were sought after and there was constantly a queue. Many of the tenants were female teachers and there were special rooms to give private lessons. The building was designed in national romantic style by the architects Hans Hedlund and his son Björner Hedlund.
In 1972 the times had changed and the building was rebuilt to student housing.

One of my favorite flea market finds is this stained glass church window. I got it for a mere $20. Probably because of the missing glass on the lower left. That only adds to the Shabbychicness of it. I mosaiced the birdhouse to coordinate with the colors in the window. The vintage yellow plate has a picture of my family and some old buttons on it.
