‘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)
An automobile museum located in Mulhouse, France. It contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world. I enjoyed looking around, a lot to see.
My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.
Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927)
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)

Part 2. An amazing place!
Cite de l'Automobile National Museum, Mulhouse, France.It contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world. Brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf built the Bugatti collection obsessively and quickly. During the summer of 1960, they acquired ten Bugattis, including two Type 57s and one Type 46 5-litre model. In addition the pair found three Rolls-Royces, two Hispano-Suizas and one Tatra. By the end of the summer, they had purchased 40 cars. An impressive collection of cars!
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!
The one who masters the grey everyday is a hero
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881)
