Read the pinned post on my profile.
There are a few institutions that work in collusion to run people’s lives, and form the basis of the #Matrix.
1. #Schools
2. #Churches
3. #Governments
4. #Corporations
5. #Media
6. #BanksOnce I became a #whistleblower against the system, in 2023, #WellsFargo #bank would not give me my own money. They still have not.
( Details: https://whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/ )
It’s time for the biblical prophecy to come true, and the money lenders to be kicked out.
Here’s how:

With full bellies, people have the courage to break free of the Matrix, and #disobey leaders. Political, religious, military, corporate leaders etc.
Little incentive for #crime, #war, #violence.
Please boost and spread the message!

Actually, I have another contender for #ShadowSaturday ... I took this photo of a beautiful Norman arch at Leominster Priory earlier and realised my shadow looks like some kind of devotional yoga pose 😅

EuroTripping – Heidelberg
On the 21st of June, we were comfortably settled into the early phase of our 3 week EV journey, heading from Hannover towards Basel. This was to be the first day where that “comfort” started to fizzle a bit.
We decided to stop for a couple hours in Heidelberg for a walking tour I had planned. It may not have been the best move to start our visit by walking up the steps to the Schloss — which is perched about 100 meters over the old town — on a day with a high of 36C and palpable humidity but the views were great and we wound our way back down the cobbled, hairpins to check out parts of the Altstadt.
Sadly, we decided to forgo the walk on the other side of the river as I had intended but we still saw some interesting sights in our short time poking about. Here are some images taken under the brutally unkind sun while exploring Heidelberg.
A large villa perched next to the steps we took up to the Schloss Catching a peek of some of the Schloss’ ruins More Schloss ruins The Egyptian geese were smart, trying to have a siesta in the shade A view from the top — with the Mannheim Grosskraftwerk complex in the distance That same villa seen as we were making our way up the steps Finally at the top — time for an ice cream! Ruins at the Schloss A very mischievous-looking gargoyle Some art deco details (note the netting they had up to try and keep the pigeons away) A University Building in the Alstadt Details on a big house we walked by as we wound back down from the Schloss Round tower detail An old water tower turned into a cafe on the edge of Heidelberg Towers at the end of the Alte Brücke Trash bins hiding in an old tower in the wall “In the Living Spirit” above doors to a University building A gate in a wall along the winding road down from the Schloss An interesting detail in the wall Pride flag outside the Jesuitenkirche A glimpse of Hotel Sum Ritter St Georg, the oldest residential building in the city Another view from the Schloss, including the Alte Brücke over the Neckar River Looking across the river to where we could have explored had it not been so hot View of the Jusuitenkirche tower #Architecture #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Churches #Germany #Heidelberg #OldTown #Photoblog #Photography #Schloss #Travel -

Known pupils are: Shirley Alison Lee, at left of front row; Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald in front row 2nd from right; Neil McAllister is fifth in from left in second row. And if you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or pop the names in a commentPhoto 2 - Orepuki School pupils outside the School "War Memorial Gates", but no year; Sepia Tone Photo of school children with the school behind the gates. Known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald in second row from front and 4th from right. If you recognize anyone from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or pop the names in a comment
Photo 3 - Orepuki School class, taken c1941-42; Black & White Photo of 28 children. Known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald later Higgins in the front row 6th from left or 4th from right and she was born March 1931. We have been told that its likely to be Shirley Lee in the second row first on the left, by her daughter (Shirley appears to have been born September 1930, so these names fit the date). If you recognize anyone from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment with names.
Photo 4 - Orepuki School class, taken c1937; B & W Photo of 30 children. The known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald later Higgins in the back row first on left. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment with the names.
Photo 5 - Orepuki School class, taken we think in the late 1930's; B & W Photo of 30 and 1/2 children (should be 31, but sadly 1 is half chopped off on right!)
It is thought that the girl in the striped jacket on the right in the back row may be Myra Hogg (she was born in 1931) & Raymond George Herrick (born 1928) is said to be in the front row third from left by his own daughter, so we will presume this is correct. These dates do fit presumed year for photo. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please do get in touch, or put the names in the comments section.Photo 6 - Orepuki School Class, taken 1920; B & W Photo of 23 children; The known pupils are: Doris May Finn later Macdonald in the back row second from right. We have also been told that the child in the middle row on the far right is Bessie Butler later Lee. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment.
The school at Orepuki (or originally Aropaki) has a varied and extremely interesting background, as does the township, more of which can be read in the early history written further below.
Formerly a large gold town, after that had dried up and coal mining was overtaken by the Nightcaps companies, along with the Shale Works closing in 1902, most of Orepuki ended up deserted. It became only the farming community that stayed on to support the township in its fight for survival.
Of course, the school was also affected, as it was downsized considerably. It somehow struggled on over the years though and stayed open. Over the 1-4 of Feburary 1934, is when the Orepuki School had its 50th year Diamond Jubilee. We would love some photos of this event, do you have any that you can contribute to our Community Archives of this event?
The newest Orepuki School was not built until 1968 and it was erected directly behind the old school that was moved there prior, then the old building was then taken down. From this point on, children in the Orepuki township and district could attend their local school only up until the old Standard Four, at which time they had to then bus to the Aparima College in Riverton, which had the old Forms 1-7. For many years the Orepuki School, which somehow managed to carry on, continued to contribute its students to Riverton’s new Aparima College. But in 2003 the school at Orepuki was finally closed.
But this did not end the controversy over getting children from Orepuki to school safely. In 2017 it was reported that plans to move the school bus stop had been withdrawn, after Aparima College, Riverton ...

In St Mary the Virgin's Church, Woodford, Northamptonshire, a preserved human heart was discovered in a pillar during restoration work. Some suspect it belonged to a monk, whose ghost has been sighted in the church. One woman saw the 'monk' approach the altar, kneel and pray. Another saw the apparition drift down the aisle towards her before it vanished at the spot where the heart was found. Two holidaymakers in the 1960s took a photo of the interior of the church and, upon developing the film, were surprised to see a robed figure at the altar. A copy of the photo hangs in the church, along with a framed newspaper clipping about the incident. Another theory claims the heart belonged to a crusader who died in the Holy Land and whose friends returned his heart to England. #spookysunday #folklore #ghosts #paranormal #history #gothic #weird #churches

@chris actually I was just looking up some (english language) info about the Wormbach church and realised an interesting similarity ... the Kempley church had a Wheel of Life, also known as The Ten Ages of Man ... not a direct correspondent to a zodiac wheel, but a similar orientation!

Stopped to brew a cup of tea next to a random church in a tiny little hamlet ... AND FOUND THIS 😍🤩😍
From the info board: "Built around 1130, St Mary's [Kempley, Gloucestershire] is an extraordinary survival from the Norman world.
The wall paintings were discovered in 1872 hidden behind layers of whitewash. They are among the most complete 12th-century religious paintings ever found in England and are of international significance."I love my life!

Oh my God, churchyard photos just look so good in #monochrome
This was Linton Church, near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire ... where my friend and I went mainly to see England's oldest Yew tree (of which you can expect photos shortly!)
Such a wonderful day of hunting, exploring, and chance encounters!

A quotation from Frederick Douglass
But the church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors. It has made itself the bulwark of American slavery, and the shield of American slave-hunters. Many of its most eloquent Divines, who stand as the very lights of the church, have shamelessly given the sanction of religion and the Bible to the whole slave system. — They have taught that man may, properly, be a slave; that the relation of master and slave is ordained of God; that to send back an escaped bondman to his master is clearly the duty of all the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and this horrible blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity.
For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! welcome atheism! welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by those Divines!Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8…

So, while I was at St Kew's Well in North Cornwall, I also visited the Church ... it was pretty cool, but the graveyard was phenomenal!
