The Great British Pub
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!

Always we hope someone else has the answer. Some other place will be better, some other time it will all turn out well. This is it. No one else has the answer. No other place will be better, and it has already turned out. At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want

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.
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
Great Things Every Woman Need To Remember You are stylish, beautiful, creative, nurturing, able to do anything you put your mind to, one of a kind, somebody’s hero and so much more.
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
Crowfoot (Blackfoot)
Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn. Elizabeth Lawrence
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
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)
