... There's The Real Danger Of Overlooking A Very Important Day... Today.  For This Is The Place And

The Great British Pub

Nothing finer than sitting by a roaring fire, while you sip a pint of your favourite beer....

According to the Campaign for Real Ale, 21 of our finest pubs are closing every week.  Shocking.  A pub is like a church, the heart of the community, with barstools instead of pews. 

Long Live The Local!

Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.  Elizabeth Lawrence

Bold, Vivid Colours

There is, perhaps, no solitary sensation so exquisite as that of slumbering on the grss or hay, shaded from the hot sun by a tree, with the consciousness of a fresh light air running through the wide atmosphere and the sky stretching far overhead upon all sides

Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)

My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.

The Smallest House In Great Britain, Conwy, Wales

The house was created in the 16th century.  The smallest house in             Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep.  The house has a living area and bedroom.  It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones.  Robert was 6ft 3″.  The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully.  He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.

Even in the heart of a city there can be a place of calm. Doors shut and curtains closed, a light against the dark, wrapped round in dear, accustomed things we can withdraw and find ourselves again.

Pam Brown, B. 1928

The one who masters the grey everyday is a hero

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881)

South Of France Festival

Mostly every year we go to The South Of France.  We tend to stay at small villages not far from the beach.  One of the villages we stay at is Pomerols.  In August every year the local villages hold their own festival.  This was the first time we attended Pomerols festival. Other villages take part as well.  It was really good and enjoyable.
