With Grateful Thanks

There is no calm like a quiet sea a space of stillness under the width of sky. A gently shifting flow of shadow. A silvering. A breathing silence that restores the heart.

Pam Brown 1928

You do not need to leave your room.... Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Don’t evaluate your life in terms of achievements, trivial or monumental. along the way..... Instead wake up and appreciate everything you encounter along your path.  Enjoy the flowers that are there for your pleasure.  Tune in to the sunrise, the laughter, the rain and the birds.  Drink it all in ....there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.

There’s no better time to wrap up in your favourite wolly jumper, put on your walking boots and get a deep breath of the great outdoors.

Chateau du Clos Luce

Chateau du Clos Luce - the home of Leonardo da Vinci. Invited to come and live in France by King Francois I, Leonardo da Vinci settled at Le Clos Luce in 1516.  Leonardo da Vinci happily lived in this residence for the last three years of his life, painting and working on his passions.  Leonardo da Vinci creations and his main inventions are displayed in a garden setting - Parc Leonardo da Vinci.  I was amazed and taken away by what I saw.  One word to describe the place "Wow!".

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

The day has been long boxed in by glass and concrete deafening with sound, the mind lost among a thousand minds.  Step into the scent of evening, the hush of the leaves, the touch of blossom.  The garden gives you back your life.

Pam Brown 1928
