The Smallest House In Great Britain, Conwy, Wales
The house was created in the 16th century. The smallest house in Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep. The house has a living area and bedroom. It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones. Robert was 6ft 3″. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully. He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.

Chateau de La Ferte Saint-Aubin. Part 1.
My favourite castle of all time. A magical place, a place of remembrance and a lively place! A truly pleasurable moment. Numerous different families lived here until the late 16th century, when the castle and surrounding gardens were inherited by the Saint Nectaires, who later changed their name to La Ferte Senectere. Henri II de la Ferte Senectere was marshal of France. Though he didn't finish building the castle, he had the two magnificent stables built in 1681. In 1746, the castle was sold to Woldemar, Count of Lowendal. The castle was owned by many different people, until the O'Gorman family brought it in 1911. The castle was passed on and inherited until 1987, when it came to its present owner, Mr Jacques Guyot, who opened it to the public.

Inside the Extraordinary 190m Atrium (World Tallest) Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects
New photographs have emerged of the Zaha Hadid Architects-designed Leeza SOHO, a mixed-use office tower in Beijing’s Leeza Financial Business District. Featuring the world’s tallest atrium, the twisting, contorted structure weaves two separate sections of the tower in a visual infusion. The new images celebrate the 190-meter-tall atrium rising through the full height of the building, designed to “rise as a single volume, divided into two halves.” The 172,800-square-meter scheme sits atop a new transit hub straddling a subway tunnel currently under construction.
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.
Do We
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? No, we just enjoy it. Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other. We don’t need to go abroad to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t have to travel to enjoy the sunshine. We can be in touch with these things right now.

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.
