I thought this very apt and funny and a little sad at the same time.
A True Story
IT WAS the Sunday School Anniversary at the Baptist Church. The church was packed with parents and friends who had gone to listen to the children singing, reading, and taking part in the service. As the preacher started to give his sermon he held up a big hold-all bag full of wrapped parcels. He asked one little boy to choose and unwrap a parcel. The child did so, and held up a lovely jewel case. The preacher opened the case and showed the congregation a lovely looking necklace but on closer examination it was discovered that the necklace was very cheap and tawdry and of very little value. The theme of the sermon was 'Things are not always what they seem'.
Next, a little girl chose a tightly wrapped parcel marked 'Treasure', but when she undid it, she discovered an old shoe; The sole and the upper had parted company and the poor shoe looked a sorry sight. There was great amusement in the
congregation as the shoe was held up. The preacher said to the little girl 'That "treasure" isn't any good to anybody, is it?' The little girl looked solemnly at him and said: 'You could give that to our Goldings boys and they could mend it.'
Now she is just a very little girl, but she stood up in front of all those people and in that one sentence had declared her love, her complete trust, belief, and faith in you all. Try never to let her down

GOLDINGS PHOTOS
Dear Dave Blower,
I am preparing a talk for the Hertfordshire Gardens Trust on May 18th 2024, about 18th century Landscape designer Charles Bridgeman. It has been discovered that he designed the early 18th century gardens and canal at Goldings.
I have just found your website and it would be great if I could use some of the images on it for a powerpoint presentation please?
The painting of the house and gardens c. 1804
Photo of the stables
The photos of the steps of the old mansion and possibly the parterre
These photos will not be printed or distributed in any way and I will credit your website when giving the talk.
Also, the talk is not-for profit and the Gardens Trust is a registered charity.
I do hope you will feel able to give me permissions to use these images but will respect your decision.
Kind regards,
Jenny Milledge
