Bruge P4

After the Curise we went for a walk towards the Chapels
Is was the impressive architecture that we couldn't get enough of.

Like statues onthe bridge that have been there for 100's of Years
but it was the "Church of the Lady" that was the target
But getting there was half the fun.
inside there was modern stuff that was only 100 years old.
and restored walls that show stuff that Michelangelo would have seen.
this is 13th Century church that was not touched during the war, except for the stuff that was plundered.
the chapel itself is conservative in appearance until
get furthur inside
Then the artwork improves considerably.
most of the windows were damaged during the war,
so they are masters of work as well.
But the Alter Pieces were the master peice
but we were hunting something else.
not the Gothic roof.
nor the 16th century organ.
or the fancy Alter peice.
or old Guys graves.
although the artwork was special.
ok very special
or the restored artwork hidden by paint.
But we were here to see Michelangelo's Madonna and Child.

yes of course it had Security and they would let us take picture of them.
but what a place for master piece like that.

Once back outside we headed back to car that was about 3 miles away..
and enjoyed the sights
like staues in the walls to mark where special people had lived..
Once back at the car. we headed home in Amsterdam
A long narrow roads
Along beautiful cannels
Across Narrow Bridges
and Jennifer have fun with my Camera.
But what roads!

Hinton Ampner - A Garden with a House

Hinton Ampner  is a house in East Sussex that we decide to visit to get out into the country side and check out a garden Their was a beautiful productive garden that was in need of a lot of work. But a church view while you work. dreams are made of this. 100 year old apple trees in the gardens. The church was built in the 1700's But the windows are obviously newer. Their were formal gardens Rose gardens  But it was the productive gardens that got the attention of the tourists.  We stopped for lunch at the usual National Trust Cafe Jennifer got her usual scones and clotted cream, while I enjoyed a stew. The walks were pleasant and enjoyable. The house was a mixed house, it was a old Georgian house that the owner had modernized in the 1860's, then a fire in 1960 pull a whole new twist to it. Once inside we found the house was actually small  and the NT is restoring the upstairs. The dining room was put on display. The

Quarry Bank Mill's, Styal

Quarry Bank's Mill is a Cotton mill that helps start the Industrial Revolution. So first we went through the house where child works would live. The tour guide was all dressed up and  knew her stuff answering any question that was given to her. The house is where 90 children would live. The factory is one that evolved over 200 hundred years from a flour mill to cotton mill Once inside we got to see the process for making cotton. With some of the looms still able to run. Two were running to meet the demand of the  National Trust Shops they supplied. These were the small ones produce cotton about 1 yard wide. The Bobbin setter was for the line threading of the fabric. The is the Bobbin roller with cotton thread on it. In this room upto60 looms would have been going, non-stop. This is the end result of the carding machines. The mile in its prime would produce 30 miles on Cotton Fabric every day. The Large Factory was first built h
