You Do Not Need To Leave Your Room.... Remain Sitting At Your Table And Listen. Do Not Even Listen, Simply

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

Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927)

South Of France Festival Pomporols summer festival aren’t just about looking at the performers - the enthusiastic spectators create a wealth of photo opportunities.

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)

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.

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

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.

Every year me and my family go to The South Of France.  In August every year the local villages hold their own festivals.  Two years running now Pomerols, village in South Of France, didn't have their own festival.  A pity as the festival is entertaining and enjoyable to watch.  However I was able to take images of the Festival Des Animaux Toteniques 2019!

The Guardroom or Games Room  The panelling dates back to the 17th century.  You can play any games or the piano.  The Lowendral Bedroom  This is a magnificent 18th century ceremonial room.  The chimney goes back to Louis XV, as well as the inlaid writing desk on its left and there is an early 18th century portrait of Princess Palatine above.  In the centre of the room stands an exceptional gaming table surrounded by four armchairs, facing the bed, all of them from the times of Louis XVI.

Time To Breathe

In the bustle of life.  In the pressure of decisions, peace has become a luxury.  Take it when it comes, and cherish it.  It gives you the time to breathe.  It gives you rest and hope and life.

Pam Brown, B. 1928
