Even In The Heart Of A City There Can Be A Place Of Calm. Doors Shut And Curtains Closed, A Light Against

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

We stopped at a view point in the hills to admire the view, and this sheep came strolling towards me.  I had the chance to create heart-warming images.

Cite de L’Automobile, Mulhouse, France

An automobile museum located in Mulhouse, France.  It contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world.  I enjoyed looking around, a lot to see.

Frosty Mornings

The winter garden has striking shapes and textures.  Frost has a magical effect on objects, producing sparkling highlights and striking patterns.

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!

What is life?  It is the flash of a firefly in the night.  It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.  It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset

Andorra

Mmmm I would say Andorra is an unusual country, reminds me of lego blocks just put on a green piece of green plastic.  We went to Andorra la Vella which sits within a natural environment of beauty.  We took a route path which continues towards the mountains, through a wild valley, the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley. It was a breath taking view!   Remarkable to see efforts made by man in order to live here.  It was lovely to see our son drink fresh water from a stream instead of a tap!!

To Be Present In All One Does

“To be sensual is to respect and rejoice in the force of life itself. and to be present in all that one does, from the effect of loving to the breaking of the bread.”

Take your time to be friendly -

It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream -

It is hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to love and to be loved -

It is the privilege of the gods.

Take time to look around -

It is too short a day to be selfish .

Take time to laugh -

It is the music of the soul.
