The mid-summer gardens in Old Stavanger are a delight, but the arrival of huge cruise ships into port often spoils the view for the inhabitants. Tourism is supposed to be good for the local economy, but I know for a fact that many folks just stay on board.

This folly was built in the mid-18th century as part of a scheme to beautify the ruins of the Old Castle. The archives report that a local builder was paid £22 for building this folly, by Lord Digby who owned the New Castle..

SORRY - I'VE BEEN HAVING LOG-IN PROBLEMS AGAIN TODAY. The moorhen was sitting on the fence of the boathouse pier, and didn't seem perturbed by my presence. She was back on her nest as soon as we retreated about 10 metres. There weren't many visitors on that day. We informed the ground staff that the nest and eggs could be disturbed over the weekend. Apparently they were going to fence it off temporarily.later in the day.

This was a treat for these Daddies, and I think the children were enjoying it too. One of the Mums backed out at the last minute.

I am getting used to having to sign each time I log in to Iperniy, but it takes up more time.

After passing through Sherborne on the way to Plymouth, Sir Walter Raleigh fell in love with the castle, and Queen Elizabeth relinquished the estate, leasing it to Raleigh in 1592. He began to remodel the castle including the great tower and south west gate tower. However, he turned his attention to developing the former hunting lodge to the south of the castle as his home. Rather than refurbish the old castle, Raleigh decided to construct a new lodging for temporary visits, in the compact form for secondary habitations of the nobility and gentry, often architecturally sophisticated, that was known as a lodge. The new house, Sherborne Lodge, was a four-storey, rectangular building completed in 1594, and is now known as Sherbprne New Castle. Sherborne Old Castle is now in ruins

i CAN NOW LOG IN TO iPERNITY AGAIN BUT IT TAKES MUCH LONGER NOW, AS i HAVE TO SIGN IN EVERY TIME WITH A COMPLEX PASSWORD. i CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE PASSWORD ISN'T REMEMBERED EACH TIME.

Helleren is a large cliff overhanging two houses at the end of the Jøssingfjord, on the southwestern coast of Norway. They were built in the early 19th century and abandoned in the 1920s shortly after the first road was opened. The houses are preserved as they once were, as houses for poor families subsiding on a combination of farming, sheep herding and fishing. The rooves are made of wood, as the cliff protects the houses from adverse weather. Inside they are both very basic. It must have been a very hard life.
