John Sales VMH, gardener (May 1, 1933 - December 29, 2022)

For 25 years, from 1973-98, he was in charge of the National Trust’s parks and gardens, at a time when the nation embraced garden visiting on a scale never seen before.

Donald Sales’s time as head of gardens left the trust with the healthiest, best managed, historically and stylistically most diverse portfolio of gardens the world may ever know.

That Vintage Feel by Leon Van Kemenade Via Flickr: I belong to a lot of vintage photography groups on Facebook covering cameras, lenses, vintage lenses used on modern cameras etc and one often hears the phrase “vintage feel” when describing a picture that harkens back to the atmosphere of film images taken many years ago. This particular shot was taken this autumn using an old Minolta film camera, a frankly abysmal 35-80mm Minolta zoom lens, and a roll of very expired Agfa colour film (expired 2013). Most of the shots on this roll were very washed out, I’m assuming the expired film was the culprit for that (it couldn’t have been the photographer could it???). But there was just something about this shot that brought to mind that “vintage feel”. See the first comment box for a picture of the camera setup.

~25/12/2022~ Christmas Day 🎄I wasn’t as foggy in the morning as yesterday - main ailment has been a sore and swollen eye though, which is rare for me. Still quite itchy as well so had extra antihistamines again. Opened my stocking in the morning (my mum always does us one even though I’m old!). Parentals have currently just got a makeshift kitchen as Pom is doing up the main one, so they managed to make Christmas dinner using a pressure cooker, a one ring hob, and a microwave, which I thought was pretty impressive :o We opened presents after lunch - the fam seemed to like the painted baubles I made them, and I got some lush stuff and a new Japanese colouring book from my brothership - nothing too overwhelming, which was good. Then as per tradition, me, my mum, and my brother went for a walk while Pom watched the king’s speech ;) In the afternoon I played Sims, watched true crime (because was done with films and Christmas stuff), the mothership made apple strudel, which I had as a sort of supper. Then we just watched Call The Midwife Christmas Special, which is always my personal highlight. We found Pom had gone to bed by the end of it - hope he’s okay - he’s still quite poorly and seems to have gone backwards today so hoping it’s just that rather than him going to bed grumpy… Hope you’ve all had a manageable day however you’ve spent it 🎅 🦄 #instadaily #instablog #update #mentalhealth #dissociativeidentitydisorder #cptsd #autism #traumarecovery #edrecovery #anxiety #chronicillness #disability #pots #potsie #dysautonomia #positivevibes #recovery #christmasday #nymans #nationaltrust #standen #christmastree #festivetimes #englishheritage #cottagecore #vintage #englishcountryhouse #interiors (at Standen House National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmm1nzgKmqeKydifhLkD-mKXl2rP5j2qu0kysA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hi! i just have a question which i thought you might know the answer to. i was just wondering if we know whether the minisodes for go2 are within the episodes like s1 e3 or are entirely separate to the 6 main episodes. just because i've heard people talking about titles for them. no worries if you don't know, and thank you so much for everything you do for our community <3

Hiya! :) Oh, the minisodes titles, yes :). They are within the episodes the same as the cold opening :).

They are:

Biblical times minisode called A Companion To Owls by John Finnemore in Episode 3, in all likelihood about Job played by Peter Davison

Victorian times minisode called The Resurrectionists by Cat Clarke in Episode 2 in Edinburgh 1827 - our favourite angel and demon get into a wee bit of a pickle there, there’s little stint of body snatching in the era.

Blitz minisode called Nazi Zombie Flesh Eaters by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman which takes up much of Episode 4. Andy Nyman called it ‘very naughty’.

tweet and post :)

SEX EDUCATION S4 *SPOILERS AHEAD*

Because I just binged the whole thing and I indeed cannot get past not commenting on it.

Spoilers begin from here on…

Let me just say that… I am disappointed with this season. And kinda in general (the entire Cavendish part felt so forced, I really missed seeing more of the old characters and the old setting and I wish other endings were happier, too), but obviously as a Jeankob shipper, that Jean storyline left me with a knot in my stomach.

I know things definitely didn’t seem promising from whatever glimpse we could get beforehand, but this was just so loose and forced and empty I could cry.

I immediately assumed they maybe could not get Mikael Persbrandt to do S4, because this storyline just makes absolutely no sense to me otherwise. If this was intended all along as is, then it is complete bullshit.

They literally built up this couple from S1 onward and made them struggle so much, while simultaneously letting us know how much they love one another, I was 100% convinced that in the very end they would get their happy ending no matter what. Love just had to win for once. And what actually happened seemed as if they just picked up all there ever was and dismissed it completely, tearing it apart.

This only makes sense to me if they had to “fix it” last minute and write Jakob out, because Mikael would not be there to do it. Because explain to me three seasons of chemistry and growth, explain to me all the S3 moments (especially the S3!), everyone indicating that Jean and Jakob love one another, the therapist, Maureen’s “Jakob adores you”, Ruby’s “you’re a good loking couple”, then the treehouse (I cannot believe they had the nerve to shit on that this season, calling it “creepy”), I thought the “you didn’t finish the treehouse” bit was there almost as a guarantee that he will indeed finish it in the future along with his promise to Otis “I’m not going anywhere”. The way Ola named the baby Joy, the Jean Jakob Joy - are you kidding me? The way Jean was so sure about Jakob being the father from the VERY beginning - “but he’s had a vasectomy”, “it seemed fated”, agreeing to the dna test without a single question, being surprised when reading the actual result, probably being able to CALCULATE as a smart woman and also, I think she literally kept the baby, because it was meant to be her and Jakob’s, because she loved the man, I’m sure she wouldn’t keep it if she doubted it was his, oh and also… I assume she definitely used protection with all her one night stands as a sex therapist, but I always assumed she stopped using it with Jakob, because they were an exclusive couple and she trusted the vasectomy. It seems literally impossible to me that she would not doubt it even once.

So, I was certain there would be some games around this paternity plot, maybe make us believe Jakob is not the father, but then something would happen and it would be revealed as a mistake or something. Then Jean and Jakob would both have “done wrong” in some way, she cheated in the past and then he left her over the dna test - they’d finally be kinda “equal” in hurting one another. And maybe realize that despite it all, they still love one another deeply and they have to leave the past behind and make it work.

And I cannot believe that instead of that we just got a very loose storyline about the baby daddy, no real explanation, just some brief crap “95% sure” and that ending of “a part of me always knew it wasn’t his, but” - I am sorry, but the Jean I knew from previous seasons would never even go to Jakob if she had even a glimpse of a doubt. She struggled telling him in the first place. So, making Dan the baby daddy in the end just felt so forced and disappointing, while mentioning Jakob only briefly + the way Jean was already unhappy for the majority of her screen time, it was sad to watch. I enjoyed some parts with Jean and her sister and getting to know more about their past etc., but all in all, her story this season was just depressing and this to me is anything but a happy ending. It’s not “finishing strong and hard”. It’s “I’m gonna pretend there’s no S4”.

I will however forever be grateful to the creator for giving us this couple, I have rooted for them from the very beginning and it is crushing to know that this is it, I am deeply sad about this ending and I think I’m going to need some happy fanfics to make it better or some past season rewatches. Because I cannot accept this. It feels like we’ve been left with absolutely nothing, robbed of it all.

So, to conclude: in my head, SexEd ends with S3 and Jeankob’s story wraps up with Jakob attending the therapy and deciding to trust again, being there for Jean at birth, Jean surviving the birth, there’s no fucking DNA test, just both of them reuniting afterwards, talking it through and forgiving one another and they make. it. work. Because they deserve it. And they live out their love, while raising their daughter.

So, with all due respect… today is a very bittersweet day. And I wish it were different.

~5/11/2022~ I was really sluggish in the morning, and in general really - probably a good thing though as it’s forcing me to rest. Had a quiet rainy day to ourselves as my Pom had gone to work, and the mothership had gone to grandma-sit as they’d been in A&E yesterday evening as my grandma had a ‘fall’ and bruised her leg (nothing broken thankfully) - I use the ‘ ‘ because we believe my grandma most likely has #munchausensyndrome - she tripped over a wire in her room, which multiple people had offered to fix as it was a clear trip hazard but she repeatedly refused, she fell just when my aunt was about to go out for her first physio appointment for a knee injury - and this does tend to be when ‘accidents’ involving my grandma tend to happen - in response to other family members having to seek medical attention. Anyway, left to our own devices, we did some repetitive pattern artwork in a notebook in the morning. Then headed out on the bus early afternoon to get some lunch. Then walked to sainsburys where we picked up a few sweet treat essentials to keep at parentals including some festive hot chocolate powers which were on offer. We then went in Pets At Home and saw some cute little guineas. We walked in the rain to Rustington Village - tried to dry off a bit by going in some of the shops. Then went in Costa to have my first Terry’s Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate, which was of course more expensive than last year, but at least tasted just as good. Read on the kindle app on my phone as realised I’d left my book at home. When I got back to the parentals I played a lot of Sims then did some late night doodle art work. 🦄 #instadaily #instablog #update #mentalhealth #dissociativeidentitydisorder #cptsd #actuallyautistic #traumarecovery #edrecovery #anxiety #chronicillness #disability #pots #potsie #dysautonomia #positivevibes #recovery #nationaltrust #nymans #autumn #walking #wintergarden #orange #flowerstyles_gf #naturesperfection #natureseeker #naturelove #peachy (at Nymans National Trust, Handcross, Haywards Heath Rh17 6bt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CknclIVKusKInqoEXXBBfxFvfxr3Ydk0YsiBts0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
