Loved the exhibition on the history of a local photographer at Bellingham Heritage Centre To think what we can do with just a phone now with excellent results! I do love the manual that actually shows a woman with a camera!!

What I meant was that seen as one linked string of symbols they didn’t represent a number. But of course, seen as three separate numbers it would make sense! Sorry, my mistake. I was being a bit obtuse!

I’m just sorting some photos and I came across this one from Pittenweem Anstruther. I’ve taken so many photos recently that I’ve not really looked at them all properly. I’m really moved by the incredibly mournful carving of the angel’s face. What skill the stone mason had!

I’ve no idea! It isn’t a Roman numeral. Very odd!!

Debbie Cameron @debsadelight.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Do any of my fellow church crawlers have any idea what this carving means? It is in the porch wall of a very old church in Simonburn Northumberland. It’s not Roman numerals.

It’s currently awful weather so I’m planning a road trip/churchcrawl for tomorrow! Will be researching later!

It was a fantastic find as i strolled around. It’s quite big. A magnificent memorial.

I once went to an AmDram of Macbeth. In the scene where one of the actors says something like “ I bring you the head of Macduff” he threw a sack at him which clearly contained a football and bounced past him into the wings!

#31DaysOfGraves Day 5. Vehicle Cheadle cemetery Cheshire. Remarkable memorial to a lad who died at the TT race In 1938. The detail and style are wonderful. I’ve found a photo and some more info. It was his first TT and he promised not to take any risks.

An early entry for this week’s #monumentalMonday and straight in at number 1 to my all time favourite internal church monuments! Photographed today 4 Oct Simonburn Info in alt txt

memorial is to Robert Lancelot Allgood and his wife Elizabeth (who both died in 1864, just a few months apart). The artist was Matthew Noble, he also carved the statue of the Prince Consort on the Albert Memorial in Manchester

I think this detail shiws the sun rising? Symbolising the resurrection maybe? Just gorgeous.

Perfume bottle consisting of eight glass bottles as orange segments, set in painted ceramic holder. (ca. 1925). Gorgeous!

I’ve found this lovely old book from 1940 in our holiday accommodation Gorgeous illustrations and the owner has made notes of those (s/he) has seen, where and when 1959) I hope they enjoyed the book!

I’m quite cross. There was a headstone in my local church that looked like glass but I’m pretty sure I didn’t take a photo A river walk tomorrow so don’t think I’ll be coming across a grave ( hopefully)…

I found that photo by typing in “Doctor Who” in my FB search by the way 🙃

Debbie Cameron @debsadelight.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I’ve also noted that there seem to be trends both in certain eras, eg Victorian or even within individual churchyards. Eg last week I noticed right away that one churchyard had no angels 😳. But one of my locals is like the statues in Doctor Who!

Debbie Cameron @debsadelight.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Now if it comes to angels ….. 👼

Debbie Cameron @debsadelight.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I usually manage a relevant word to stick in a search on FB where I post loads of pics. I think urns are so ‘ordinary’ to me now that I don’t bother photographing them! Oops!

My g grandad was a German refugee. His son,my grandad was a royal marine for 12 years and died on his 40th birthday in WW1. His youngest son died at Alamein but #Braverman thinks they weren’t English? They were white though, so... ? Maybe they will pass her test? Or maybe even I’m not English.

Fantastic illustrations from a 1959 House and Gardens article “A Three Year Rotation Plan for your kitchen garden.” The recipe for the ‘exotic” courgette says peel, deseed and cook for 3/4 hour 🤨
