September 22, 2023

This is the day of our glamping trip with Poi and Evan in Robertsbridge. We woke up at 8am and didn’t have time for breakfast because we were too busy with our devices playing. It wasn’t until 9am that we decided to get out of bed for our 11am train ride.

We got to Charring Cross Station 15 minutes to 11 and made our way to M&S and got some breakfast and we bought Poi a small cake because it was her birthday yesterday. It’s not much but it’s the thought that counts. We were supposed to meet with the couple at Orpington but then they didn’t arrive on time so we had to get to destination earlier than them. Eddie gave me a cute yellow flower because I thought it was cute (and it was kind of my way to tell him to get me stuff without really asking directly) and I placed it in my bag.

It was a lovely view of the town while we were walking. Seemed like an old one by the looks of it. I really can’t imagine myself living in a town that’s a bit unlively but it certainly has a charm of its own. The walk to the site was a memorable one. We saw horses and dogs and quaint shops that remind myself to be humble and grounded.

The site was spectacular. It was but a very small unit with its own kitchen on the outside and the bathroom was really rustic. It had a compost toilet. Not the most exciting thing to see but we shall see how it goes. Poi and Evan finally arrived and we had some photos taken together. Ed took some really nice shots of me. He’s improved his photography skills (specifically on me) and I’m in love with the shots he’s taken of me. We had some barbecue and wine for dinner and had fun all night telling stories about how our lives have been and I’ve gotten to know the couple a little better and I’ve considered them as my friends now. I’m happy about that. I’m also happy that this trip is making me and Ed understand each other better. I can’t really say how but I just feel like I understand him better. We gathered ourselves into the bonfire that we made and found comfort in the warmth that it made while we tell stories. Evan and Ed were making smores while Poi and I were too full to even eat. I still had a sausage in a skewer cooked in the fire.

After two bottles of wine and a trip to the treehouse to take a photograph of the starry night, we finally hit the hay. The shower was a little hard to work in the beginning and the compost bin has tasted my shit from eating the bbq that I really wasn’t sure if they were cooked properly but today was such a good day! I’ve had loads of fun and my first entry to camping which is also my first glamping trip is turning into a big success.

Bruderhof

V roce 2007 jsme se s naší kamerou vydali z přímořského města Hastings do nedalekého Darvellu, kde jsme při procházce narazili na členy zajímavé komunity. Ukázalo se, že se jedná o komunitu Bruderhof, která zde existuje od roku 1971. Směsice rodin a jednotlivců, mladých i starších, dohromady asi 300 lidí tu obývá přestavěné tuberkulózní sanatorium poblíž vesnice Robertsbridge. Vedou jednoduchý…

Bodiam Castle is located near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England.

Bodiam is a quintessential example of a medieval moated castle.

Built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, the castle features a picturesque setting with its defensive walls and towers surrounded by a water-filled moat. Its distinctive, fairy-tale appearance is enhanced by its crenellated towers and ornamental gatehouse.

Originally constructed for defensive purposes, it later fell into disrepair but was restored in the 19th century, maintaining its charming .

The irony is the level of cruelty invoked in the name of god when the book or writer is ecclesiastical. What happened to compassion, forgiveness, charity? Supposedly pious men have used religion like this to commit the most unspeakable horrors over the centuries with untroubled consciences because it’s done in the name of their god. You can do good with or without god, but religious zealotry will always have the danger of abuse.

Here’s the first:

1. At the end of a Bible, written around the year 1172, the scribe added this statement: “If anyone take away this book, let him die the death; let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen.”

1. At the end of a Bible, written around the year 1172, the scribe added this statement: “If anyone take away this book, let him die the death; let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen.”

2. From a 13th-century manuscript kept at the Vatican Library:

“The finished book before you lies;

This humble scribe don’t criticize.

Whoever takes away this book

May he never on Christ look.

Whoever to steal this volume durst

May he be killed as one accursed.

Whoever to steal this volume tries

Out with his eyes, out with his eyes!”

3. A scribe used Latin and German to write this curse:

“This book belongs to none but me

For there’s my name inside to see.

To steal this book, if you should try,

It’s by the throat you’ll hang high.

And ravens then will gather ’bout

To find your eyes and pull them out.

And when you’re screaming “oh, oh, oh!”

Remember, you deserved this woe.”

4. You will find this curse in a 13th-century manuscript from England:

“This is the book of St.James of Wigmore. If anyone takes it away or maliciously destroys this notice in taking it away from the above-mentioned place, may he be tied by the chain of greater excommunication. Amen. So be it. So be it. So be it.”

5. Simon Vostre of Paris added this to a Book of Hours that he wrote in 1502:

“Whoever steals this Book of Prayer

May he be ripped apart by swine,

His heart be splintered, this I swear,

And his body dragged along the Rhine.”

6. From a manuscript kept at the Monastery of St Gall in 880:

“May no one believe that ever have I been taken,

But that happily this place never have I forsaken.

Yet may no one doubt that the wrath of God upon him will fall

If he essays to take me from the confines of St. Gall.”

7. From a book written in the year 1178:

“The book of Saint Marie and Saint Liborius in Patherburnen. A curse upon the one who takes this book, a blessing upon the one who keeps it safe. If anyone removes or cuts a page, may he be accursed.”

8. A 15th-century manuscript owned by Count Jean d’Orleans had this:

“Whoever steals this book

Will hang on a gallows in Paris,

And, if he isn’t hung, he’ll drown,

And, if he doesn’t drown, he’ll roast,

And, if he doesn’t roast, a worse end will befall him.”

9. The 13th-century manuscript MS Bodleian 132 includes this statement:

“This book belongs to St Mary of Robertsbridge; whosoever shall steal it, or sell it, or in any way alienate it from this House, or mutilate it, let him be anathema-marantha. Amen.”

10. Finally, a medieval book curse could be short and sweet, like this one written in 1461:

“Hanging will do

for him who steals you.”

East Sussex, o Castelo Bodiam, na Inglaterra, é um castelo medieval com fosso do século XIV que fica perto de Robertsbridge. Com a aprovação de Ricardo II, foi construído em 1385 A.D. por Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, um ex-cavaleiro de Eduardo III, supostamente para salvaguardar a região contra a invasão francesa durante a Guerra dos Cem Anos. O Castelo de Bodiam tem um layout quadrangular e não tem uma torre; em vez disso, as suas numerosas câmaras são colocadas ao redor do exterior defendendo muros e tribunais interiores....

So my eldest son finishes at lunchtime today and I thought we would have a little walk (still too hot for butch) and why not do a little foraging before I even started filming I found some common thistle that makes excellent fire starters due to its 20%oil content in the flowers, and some self heal (aka full heal/roundwort) ground for a range of medical health. So going to continue on the journey and film 🎥☺ hopefully I calibrated this stabiliser properly. #craigscabin #foragedfood #foraging #family #nature #naturespantry #naturalherbal #selfheal #thistle #rother #robertsbridge #filming #eatweeds #alwayslearning #learnnewthings #learnnewskills (at Robertsbridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRqpJb0sYoK/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm off!

I went to the gym today because I have to. I won't be able to take care of my body the coming days because I'll be in Robertsbridge glamping with Ed, Poi, and Evan. I did back, biceps, abs, and cardio today.

In the evening I attended MT's Bom Voyage Party to Jaz. I used my cute white crop top hoodie. I feel so cute wearing it but my body says otherwise. Still cute though.

Got to the Old Crown Pub near Tottenham Court Road and greeted Jaz and this urology fellow who treated me a mocktail. He's sweet for that but I still didn't get his name. I'm literally bad with names. We had Karaoke the whole night! My karaoke cravings were satisfied. I had fun but I bet Jaz had the best time with the people who cherished her so much.

Went home around 10pm. Today was a great day!
