It can only happen with human help. All of us. It only takes one broken person a couple of minutes to break its heart, and mine

It seems as if the people of East Malin had waded, like bitterns, far into some muddy marsh, for there is deep mud within the houses, and mud and water all around them for a great distance. Judging from the way in which the water spread itself out at this point, the remnant of houses at this spot must have looked at one time like sunken arks in the middle of a lake.

Yay for peanuts!

Today I visited a low-income family in #Nelson #Lancashire.

They had a #leak in the #bathroom and mold/damp on the ceiling, the husband/dad has #Asthma and it was a worry for his wife, that the #mold could effect his breathing.

I removed the wallpaper, cleaned the area and repaired the leak.

St John the Baptist with the agnus dei, a 15th Century stone seated figure dredged from the Firth of Forth, presumably discarded or lost at the Reformation. Now in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.

Today is the 162nd anniversary of The Great Sheffield Flood of 1864.
Some of the victims are buried in Wardsend Cemetery.

Thank you, Caitlin, I'll check that out :)

Erm, I am guessing the number is also significant.

I'm no expert but maybe it's about heritage?

The oak is a noble tree, a symbol of strength, wisdom and loyalty; acorns are the fertility, indicating 4 strong family lines came from this person?
Or am I way off?

I beg to differ...
I'd have to work very very hard to even come close to that level of beauty and skill.

Hand over them peanuts forthwith!

He needs at least 117 peanuts as of right now, one per like.

Yes, he does!

There's more to this story and you piqued our interest now...

When you have as good a name as Ellis, which rolls off the tongue with ease, I can see why you would use it twice.

Not easy to forget, and rightly so, #Remembering Ellis Ellis, of Waterside, #Colne, interred in St John's Church Graveyard, #Nelson, #Lancashire, and his family interred with him.

Beautifully atmospheric.

It's that time of year, the sky's brighter, days longer — by a smidge — and nature is waking up.

Time for a #GRAVEYARD TIDY!
