Pomperols Festival, South Of France. Festivals Is About The Eclectic Range Of Weird And Wonderful Activities.

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.

Dr Wayne W Dyer

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!

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 1928

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

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.

... there's the real danger of overlooking a very important day... today.  For this is the place and the time for living.  Let us live each day abundantly and beautifully while it is here.

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!

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!".

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.

Taking Time To Just Be

Look to the day!  For it is life, the very life of life.  In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action. the splendour of beauty.  For yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.
