Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

Sweet Barcarolle

12/09/2008 by Nikita


Enjoy the music of Sweet People and Barcarolle..and as I said before, knowing now how to give you a taster only…you can now only listen to about 3/4 of the track…sorry!
https://chessaleeinlondon.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/10-barcarolle.mp3
This mosaic has got different pictures and I don’t want to say too much. In short…you can see pictures from Loweswater Lake…I’ve blogged about Cockermouth and Mockerkin before and if you read my entries about it, you will also know where Loweswater is…in the Lake District. You can see a few pictures about Hawkshead, where Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top farm is, I have done an entry about her two days ago, read and see more images on this link. On this link you will also find the Cockermouth/Mockerkin-links….https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/beatrix-potters-hill-top-farm/ Then you can see pictures that I took at Hadrian’s Wall and at Whitehaven. I’ve got some links for you to follow and to read about. The best to view this mosaic, is to click on it and you will see a lovely large picture. Do enjoy it!Please click HERE to read more about Hadrian’s wall-trails…

 On the map, nr 3, is where we visited Birdoswald Roman Fort and remains of the wall. The third last picture on my image is a photo which I took at the Fort. In two pictures in the bottom row you can see remains of the wall.  Read on this link  why Hadrain built this wall.

Wikipedia-link about the Wall……http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian’s_Wall

On this map I’ve indicated where the actual remains start…at Brampton, near Carlisle. Click on the image for a larger view.

Whitehaven….has many links with the USA, but perhaps the most famous link of all is that of John Paul Jones. Jones was born in Scotland, but raised in Whitehaven and trained as a seaman. These skills were transferred to the American military as Jones became the founding father of the US Navy. In an amazing turn of events, Jones, and his fleet, attacked Whitehaven during the American war of Independence, in 1777. Read also on this great link more about this Georgian town. http://www.visitcumbria.com/wc/whaven.htm

    Baie mooi musiek en mosaic!!

    Ek het nou te lekker gelees oor “Hadrian’s Wall” baie interessant!

    Die St Nicholas’ Church Gardens is ongelooflik mooi!

    hi Wipneus, dankie! ek’s mal oor Sweet People se musiek! Daar’s dele van Hadrian’s Wall wat baie hoer is as op die foto’s wat ek hier het, maar natuurlik blog ek nie myself nie 🙂

    Ek’s mal oor jou mosaiek en pragtige musiek! As ek ooit weer in Engeland kom, is ‘n besoek aan die Lake District ‘n moét!! Dis ongelooflik mooi daar! Dankie dat jy dit met ons gedeel het!

    hi Reisiger, Dankie! Daardie Lake Distrik is regtig ‘n moet. Ek het byna al wat ‘n ou hek is, enige iets wat lyk soos ‘n “sprokie”, die natuur, dis werklik ‘n plek om te besoek. Maak net seker jy’s “sentraal” dat jy maklik na ‘n paar plekke kan gaan wat maklik bereikbaar is – plekke wat die moeite werd is. Aan die ander kant, hierdie eiland is klein en jy ry redelik maklik van een plek na ‘n ander daar in die Lake Distrik-omgewing. Dit het ons net ‘n goeie 7 ure gevat van hier af soontoe (verkeer-opeenhoping ingesluit), maar daar was dit redelik maklik, mens moet net baie vroeg roer na besige plekke. As die weer reenerig is, is die museums vol, sonnige weer is die parkeer-areas vir buite-stap vol! 🙂 dus, geen laat slaap nie!

    Da’s heel mooi. Ek was daar 30 jaar terug. Op terugweg via Shrewsbury met Offa’s Dike (North Wales). Ou kanaaltjies met sluisjies en ‘long boats’.
    Ook heel mooi! En dan via Worcester volg de Severn tot net bo Bristol. Klein dorpie, nie op map nie, is Cow Hill. Daar word nog outijdse cider gemaakt. Beter is er nie.

    Lekker bly
