...and it's on our doorstep! Problem is that it's all a bit expensive! Nice place for coffee though!
Ce commerce est situé au Carrera San Jeronimo 6, Madrid, en Espagne. En effet, il s'agit, malgré le nom, d'un commerce et non un musée mais le lieu idéal pour se familiariser et goûter des charcuteries dont la spécialité nationale qu'est le célèbre jambon ibérique cru, voir les distinctions (jamón de Bellota; jamón de recebo; jamón de Serrano et même pate de Lacón.
En 1561, Philippe II décida de déménager la capitale, de Tolède, trop petite et confinée, à Madrid qui était située presqu'au centre du pays. Située au centre de la péninsule et de la Meseta, sur les contreforts de la sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid, à 2000 pieds par rapport au niveau de la mer, est aujourd'hui la 2e capitale la plus haute d'Europe.
En tant que l'une des plus jeunes capitales d'Europe, la ville est lumineuse, vibrante et hospitalière. L'héritage de ses deux grandes dynasties, les Habsbourg et les Bourbons, lui vaut une richesse artistique exceptionnelle, exposée au Prado ou aux musées Thyssen-Bornemisza et Reina Sofía. Cette ville cosmopolite a connu un développement extraordinaire lors des dernières décennies et frappe aujourd'hui par son animation incessante.
Built in the 1940s at N. Main and Michaux. It's been several different stores and restaurants through the years. Today it displays public art
Myrmosa atra may be a cleptoparasite feeding on foodstores of its host, or a parasitoid feeding on the host.
Squirrels mate once or twice a year and have their young between three to six weeks later, the young are born naked toothless and blind, normally it is the female who looks after the young and they are weaned between six to ten weeks. Unfortunately many squirrels die in the first year of their life, but they can have a lifespan of 5 to 10 years in the wild and in captivity they can have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. The front teeth of the squirrel grow throughout its life and the cheek teeth are set back behind a wide gap for chewing their food. Squirrels cannot digest cellulose therefore they must rely on foods rich in protein, during the colder months of the year this can be very difficult because some of the food they have buried have started to grow making the food not edible and they now have to rely on new tree buds etc.
I was going to make an elaborate diorama of a food store similar to Fauchon in France, but after almost a year of not being able to complete it, I've given up. This is all I have completed.

Collage of shop fronts on Mill Road, Cambridge. There's some great foodstores, cafés & cheap restaurants representing many different cultures on this famous road.
Mill Road is also a fine illustration of the power of local retailers working together. With over 180 local retailers, comprising independents and nationals, the Mill Road Traders’ Association has successfully delivered a range of initiatives, including public space improvements, street parties and other events. Mill Road was shortlisted in the final 3 of the national High Street of the Year Award in Autumn 2015.

GCX Unrestricted – Preparation at Castle Kjeldslot
Spring in the Kjelddal was usually everyone’s favorite time of year. But this year was different. The hidden vale of the Kjelddal used to be happy and peaceful. There were never any outsiders bringing their politics and wars into this tranquil place. But that started to change last year.
Lord Gøttfried Kjeldsen sent three of his most trustworthy advisors out into greater Garheim on a mission to gather information.
While on his Lordship’s mission, Norvald visited a small tavern in Ugleheim. As he often did, Norvald had a bit too much to drink and his tongue became a bit too loose. Soon everyone else in the tavern had heard that he was from the hidden land of Kjelddal. The next morning, Norvald realized his error and left town immediately. He went straight home to the Kjelddal, avoiding main roads as much as he could. He had thought that he had covered his tracks well, but two days after his return, one of the villagers reported that his food storage had been emptied and that two of his horses were gone. After searching the vale, there was no sign of the stolen food or horses. Clearly, Outlaws had gotten into the Kjelddal, and escaped. The hidden valley would not remain hidden for long.
The next day, Torbjørn and Fridleiv, Kjeldsen’s other two advisors, returned to the Kjelddal, bringing news of the uncertainty and fear spreading all over Roawia. “It’s clear now that we can no longer trust in our location to keep our people safe.” Kjeldsen told his men. “We need to take measures to prepare ourselves for the days ahead. We have been hidden from war for years, but we cannot trust that our location remains a secret. We must take extra precautions to safeguard our livelihood. From this day on, everyone in the Kjelddal must bring their foodstores and any other possessions they hold dear behind my castle walls. The livestock must also be stabled in my courtyard at night. We will double the castle guard and keep men on the walls day and night. Nothing outside the castle should be considered safe.”
“My Lord,” said Norvald, “This is all my fault. The outlaws must have followed me home from Ugleheim. I will stay on the wall day and night, and the minute they show their ugly faces they will meet the blade of my axe.”
“Very well” said Kjeldsen. “I will personally oversee the movement of food and livestock into my walls. I don’t want anyone in my home that isn’t of the Kjelddal.”

My entry into the GC X – Preparations category at LOR. This castle has actually been built for a few months now. It was a winter project that I just never got around to photographing. That, and since it wasn’t done in time for CCC, I decided to save it for another contest. I originally tried a few different techniques in building the roof, but in the end I opted for the good old fashioned “studs on top” approach. Everything else I tried just looked to ramshackle in comparison with the rest of the castle’s clean and well-kept appearance. The Kjeddal is one place that has been hidden from the previous war, after all, so I decided that it should look that way.
