Chateau de la Ferte Saint-Aubin Part 4. The Dining Room. In the 17th century, this was an antechamber. The chequered floor dates back to this period, and curiously the white tiles in Burgundy stone have been worn off over 4 centuries while the black marble tiles have not been damaged at all. The panelling dates back to Louis XVI. There is an 18th century chandelier out of Bohemia crystal. The Kitchen. It was entirely restored in 1995 from an archives document from the 18th century. Everything is there, and in working order too: 18th century roasting spit, stone stove to boil vegetables and fruits using coal from the chimney, fish tank where fish was kept alive, the bracket for game animals and cutting table. On the long work surface is a collection of copperware and copper utensils.

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.
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.

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.

The one who masters the grey everyday is a hero

… 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.

For me, whizzing down the road to South Of France at 70 mph, taking a photo through the window screen is not an easy task to do. “The scenery looks lovely, must take a photo. Quick before we drive past.” Grab my camera, adjust the camera settings, press the button. Alas I have the memories of whizzing down South Of France to attend a friend’s funeral. Yep did get there on time.
