He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.
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!".
Are We Kissing Goodbye To The Local?
Another one bites the dust. The Jester pub, Cockfosters being demolished. 3 pubs a day close their doors for good. Pub closures have an impact on communities. Pubs have been at the heart of our culture for generations and remain one of our most valuable assets. 1 in 4 of us fall in love in a pub!
Pomperols Festival, South Of France. The enthusiastic spectators, eclectic range of weird and wonderful activities combine to create a vibrant, theatrical visual experience and a wealth of photo opportunities.
My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.
Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927)
‘The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of Right just before you. Do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.’
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
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
Bold, Vivid Colours
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.

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.
