Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones Well what can I say ? Not what you would expect to see on a display table when visiting a "Dolls House and Miniatures" show and sale. Looking round the various displays and then this one just asked to be captured. It does beg the question, who wants to fill a dolls house with miniatures like these ?

Cubit's Finger This is the Church of St. Barnabas at Ranmore Common high up in the Surrey Hills overlooking Dorking. The church was built in 1859 in a gothic style and was built as the estate church for the Denbies Estate ( this is now one of Englands foremost vineyards ). The Estate was owned by the Cubitt family employing 150 odd people . The novelist George Meredith nicknamed the spire which can be seen for miles around as " Cubitt's Finger". I visited this church to photograph it on a Sunday and was unable to view inside as it was locked. This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Panasonic Model: DMC-TZ25 |

A walk in the Park with the long arm of the law Even the local constabulary enjoy a stroll in the Meadowbank recreational area.
