Castle De Haar is one of the most famous and visited castles in all of Holland and was originally founded in the late 1300’s by the Van de Haar family, whose standing in society allowed them the comfort of building a fortified abode.
By 1449, the castle became the property of the Van Zuylen family thru marriage. In 1482, the castle was destroyed due to differences of opinion (quarrels) between the city of Utrecht and its bishop
By the 17th century, the Van Zuylen family line had become extinct and the castle was inherited by the Van Stembors, who originated from the south of Holland - present day Belgium. French soldiers attacked and damaged the castle during the years 1672 and 73.
In 1801, Castle De Haar passed to JJ.van Zuylen van Nijevelt, a distant cousin of the Zuylen family. JJ had inherited a castle that was in a poor state of repair due to 200 years of neglect. Upon his death, these magnificent ruins passed to his son Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt in 1890.
The rebuilding of the castle was started in 1892 under the guidance of one of Holland’s most famous architects Dr PHJ Cuypers. It is his influence on Castle De Haar that we see today. PHJ Cuypers rebuilt the castle as close as possible to the original outlines and were there was not sufficient material to work with he used his own ideas of what a medieval castle should look like. The interior was rebuilt to a luxurious standard with the inclusion of electricity. A new bailey with an entrance gate was built on its original foundations.
Today the castle is surrounded by parkland but this was not always the case. From the medieval period to the end of the 19th century, the village of Haarzuilens had been surrounded the castle. Haarzuilens was completely demolished and relocated some one and a half kilometres away to the west. The village chapel however was saved from this wilful destruction and incorporated into the new park.
Castle De Haar is now a museum and opens to the public except during the month of September when the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family turn it back into a home for their month long stay.

Whites of Kent is a family company now into the third generation of close family members. The original story begins with a young ambitious girl of 18 who knew all about stocking repair machines. She travelled to Australia by boat then on to Switzerland and Paris where she trained women and gave demonstrations on the stocking machines (quite an amazing feat for such a young girl in those days). On her return to London UK in 1934, she and her husband (Mr F. White) started doing stocking repairs for Selfridges, Barkers and Davies from their home. Mr White cycled to the stores to collect the stockings and Mrs White repaired them. During 1953 they and their son (Mr B. White) opened two men's outfitters shops in Ruislip and Wembley, London. The industry grew and they opened up a stocking repair factory in one of the Gun Powder Mills’ warehouses in Oare, Kent employing 15 to 20 women and then moved to The White House in Preston Street Faversham.
In 1954 the retail side commenced again with a ladies underwear shop in Faversham’s Market Street, followed by a fashion shop in Market Street and then our current shop in Court Street.
We have in the past had shops in Sandwich, Sittingbourne, Herne Bay, West Malling, Folkestone and Cliftonville. Currently we have Whites of Kent shops in Faversham (head office) and Whitstable selling lingerie, linen, hosiery, underwear, slippers and more. See our Shop page for addresses, phone numbers and opening times.
The 3rd generation of the family started to join the family firm in 1979. We are a private company who pride ourselves on our personal service to all our customers.

" in certe case si respira il tempo.
varcata la soglia, dovresti subito fermarti e sederti per terra, lasciare che gli altri si allontanino, e ascoltare.
magari chiudendo gli occhi, per riuscire a percepire l'eco delle voci che le hanno abitate nei secoli.
per sentire i sussurri del vento che entra dalla terrazza accompagnando la luce del tramonto in cucina, o il fruscio della penna che ha lasciato tracce di sentimenti su un foglio di carta da lettere.
dovresti appoggiarti a un muro per sentirlo vibrare alle note del pianoforte, e immaginare che quelle note escano dalla finestra per volare sui tetti della città.
dovresti aprire col pensiero la porta di ogni stanza, per scoprire la personalità di tutti quelli che ci hanno vissuto dentro: perché certe case hanno il magico potere di assorbire l'umanità dei loro abitanti, e di rilasciarla con calma, di renderla permanente.
ringrazio i proprietari di questa casa, che mi hanno permesso di assorbire la luce del tramonto nelle loro stanze, e di condividerla "
i'm thankful to the owners of this house, who let me absorbe the sunset light in their rooms, and share it

I spotted this Case Moth Cocoon so snapped a shot with my phone before placing it back in a tree. Hopefully it will be able to successfully re-attach itself.

When the Bronco was introduced in the mid-sixties, its main competition was the Scout 800 and the Jeep CJ-5, both spartan vehicles to say the least. By the early seventies, with the introduction of the Chevrolet Blazer and the Scout II, it became painfully obvious that the Bronco was beginning to fall behind the competition. In 1973, Ford finally answered the calls for modernization by introducing the C-4 automatic transmission option and optional power steering. The C-4 had ratios of 2.46:1 low, 1.46 second, and 1:1 third. The power steering box was a Saginaw unit with 5.3 turns lock-to-lock. The base engine was bumped from 170 to 200 cubic inches. The J-handle transfer case shifter was introduced shortly after the model year began and the low range transfer case ratio became 2.34:1. These changes helped push early Bronco sales to their second best year ever: 26,300.

Cate presents another item I bought at the Doll Convention in Wiesbaden yesterday – a Christmas Ornament Doll Case by Hallmark.
"The L.A. case"
A solo exhibition of new works on canvas by German artist case.
Show opens Thursday, October 8th, 2009.
Received this handmade case as a gift from a friend a long time ago and was meant for my Lati Yellow and Pukifee. Just tried it with mini Mui Chan and she looks good in it.
Germany, Oberhausen, Gasometer, “Big Air Package”, Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, born in Bulgaria in 1935, he is just known as “Christo”. The artist generates in the accessible interior an exceptional experience of proportions, space & light with this monumental work of art, at present time it is the largest self-supporting indoor sculpture in the world. The project for the Gasometer was conceived in 2010 by Christo & is on view from March 16 to December 30, 2013.
The sculpture, which is installed inside the former gas tank, was made from 20,350 square mtr of semi-transparent polyester fabric & 4,500 mtr of rope. The inflated envelope is more than 90 meters high & 50 mtr in diameter. Its total weight is 5.3 tons & has a volume of 177,000 cubic mtr, nearly spans the distance from wall to wall of the Gasomter, leaving only a small passageway to walk around the sculpture. Two air fans creating a constant pressure of 0.27 millibar to keep the package upright, airlocks allow visitors to enter the package. Illuminated through the skylights of the Gasometer & 60 additional projectors, it creates a diffuse light throughout the interior. Inside of the Big Air Package one does not really realize the heights, outside of the balloon from the top, a 100 mtr & 10 floors high, the project shows its immense size.
Christo & Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, born in Morocco, were a married couple who created numerous environmental works of art. Their works include among others the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin, the 39 km long Running Fence in California, The Gates in New York City's Central Park & the Pont-Neuf Bridge in Paris.
They artist couple first met in Paris in October 1958, their works were credited to just "Christo" until 1994, when the outdoor works & large indoor installations were retroactively credited to "Christo & Jeanne-Claude". They flew in separate planes: in case one crashed, the other could continue their work.

My gosh, we've had a couple of dreary months! Skies have been grey, overcast, and devoid of color. I think the forecast for Christmas Eve is even calling for rain. Consequently, I went back into my archives for 2014 and found this image, which I'm posting just in case anyone, namely me, is feeling like it's never going to end.
If anyone is on the fence about Integrity's new Acrylic Display Cases, don't hesitate. The price is GREAT!
These cases retail for $129 each 2 years ago.
This mural made me think of an old song;
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
The artwork is signed Case Maclaim. “Case” is the alias of Andreas von Chrzanowski an artist from the German graffiti scene who was born and raised East Germany.
Ogni casa ha il suo modo di vivere e spesso uno vi si adegua senza pensare che questi suoi gesti ricalcano gesti antichi, che tutto quel che fa è già stato fatto, anni e anni prima di lui...Quando a primavera si riaprono le stanze chiuse in inverno, ...si rimette in moto qualcosa che era stato fermo per mesi. Sono i ricordi, le immagini, le abitudini interrotte, che a poco a poso tornarno a vivere...
Quando siedo nel salotto di Badia mi sembra di riandare indietro nel tempo, di rivivere villeggiature passate.. Perchè se non le stoffe e i mobili, sono i muri a parlarmene. Testimoni muti che però hanno visto e sentito.
