Here in my heart
I'm alone, and so lonely
Here in my heart
I just yearn for you only
Here in my arms
I long to hold you
Hold you so near
Ever close to my heart
So, darling
Say that you care
Take this heart I give gladly
Surely you know
I need your love so badly
Because it occurred to me that it's a long time since I had a picture of me in me compact little kitchen.

In Italy, in the first three decades of the nineteenth century, cholera began to penetrate into Europe, the states involved in commercial traffic (such as the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies) established tight maritime health checks, placing great importance on the days of quarantine for all those boats that came from the infected areas (in this case the measures taken were those already tested at the time of the black plague), but it was not always so ... in fact other States like Genoa, Livorno and Venice, to avoid repercussions on the trade ... they avoided to adopt these measures giving weight to the "anti-contagion theories" (they accused the unhealthy air, the dirt, the bad diet, rather than giving importance to the contact): only in 1882 the vibrio of the cholera will be individualized by Robert Koch, the science up to at that time it was divided between "those who gave credit to the contagion" and "those who gave credit to environmental conditions", and also the Church gave its indications, invoking "hygiene of the soul", supporting the need to avoid debauchery, including food and sexual excesses. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1837 was affected by popular revolts carried out against the Bourbons, accused of having commissioned the "infectors" to kill the people. We are in 1854, in the city of Messina a devastating cholera epidemic breaks out, in just two months cholera leads to the death of about 30,000 people, the town of Castroreale not far away, seems to be immune from this disaster, until two of its fellow citizens, husband and wife, return to Castroreale from Messina, the lady shows the cholera symptoms very seriously ... the country is terrified fearing the spread of the contagion to the whole community: which Saint to vote themself then? To Saint Rosalia who had freed Palermo from the plague? To Saint Sebastiano protector from epidemics? In Castroreale it was thought to immediately ask for help to the Holy Crucifix (in the odor of being miraculous) whose life-size Christ, papier-mâché made by anonymous, was thus fixed on top of a 12-meter long pole, thus obtaining two advantages when carried in procession, the sick kept in quarantine on the highest floors of the houses, could have enjoyed the direct vision of Christ through the windows, but at the same time the religious could stay at a safe distance (!). The story goes that the lady suddenly recovered, Castroreale had no case of cholera: since then, on August 25th, the day of the miracle, the Holy Crucifix is celebrated (also called the feast of the Christ Long, in the dialect, feast of Cristu Longu or Signuri Longu). The pole on which the Christ is hoisted, presents at regular distances pins driven into the wood, to avoid the sliding of the long "perches with hairpins", with which the "hairpin masters" support the very high Crucifix during the procession that proceeds along the streets of the town, and to allow its lowering and raising through the entrance of the two churches (the Mother Church and the church of Saint Agatha) in which it is carried.
Small note in closing: in the Mother Church is the Chapel of the Assumption where the statuary complex of the Virgin Mary Assumed (1848) is located, whose author is Matteo Mancuso from Messina, to whom a son died while working on the statue, so he personified his son in the little angel with his eyes closed at the feet of the Virgin Mary; at the foot of the statue there is the statuette of the seventeenth century of baby Virgin Mary, which is carried in procession on 8th September by children receiving first communion.

In Italia, nelle prime tre decadi dell’ottocento, il colera iniziò a penetrare in Europa, gli Stati interessati dai traffici commerciali (come il Regno delle Due Sicilie) istituirono dei serrati controlli sanitari marittimi, ponendo grande importanza ai giorni di quarantena per tutte quelle imbarcazioni che provenivano dalle zone infette, ed in questo caso i provvedimenti presi erano quelli già sperimentati ai tempi della peste nera), ma non sempre fu così…infatti altri Stati come Genova, Livorno e Venezia, per evitare ripercussioni sui commerci…evitarono di adottare tali provvedimenti dando peso alle “teorie anticontagioniste” (esse accusavano l’aria malsana, la sporcizia, la cattiva alimentazione, piuttosto che dare importanza al contatto): solo nel 1882 il vibrione colerico verrà individuato da Robert Koch, la scienza fino ad allora era divisa tra “contagionisti” ed “epidemiologi”, ed anche la Chiesa ci metteva del suo, invocando “l’igiene dell’anima”, sostenendo la necessità di evitare gli stravizi, inclusi gli eccessi alimentari e sessuali. Il Regno delle Due Sicilie nel 1837 fu interessato da rivolte popolari attuate contro i Borboni, accusati di aver incaricato gli “untori” per uccidere il popolo. Siamo nel 1854, nella città di Messina scoppia una devastante epidemia di colera, in soli due mesi il colera porta a morte circa 30.000 persone, la cittadina di Castroreale non molto distante, sembra essere immune da tale iattura, fino a quando due suoi concittadini, marito e moglie ritornano al paese provenienti da Messina, la signora mostra in forma gravissima i sintomi colerici…il paese è terrorizzato temendo il propagarsi del contagio a tutta la comunità: a quale Santo votarsi dunque? A Santa Rosalia che aveva liberato Palermo dalla Peste? A San Sebastiano protettore dalle epidemie? A Castroreale si pensò di chiedere subito aiuto al Santissimo Crocifisso (in odore di essere miracoloso) il cui Cristo, in grandezza naturale, realizzato da anonimo in cartapesta, venne così fissato in cima ad un palo lungo 12 metri, ottenendo così due vantaggi quando portato in processione, i malati tenuti in quarantena nei piani più alti delle abitazioni, avrebbero potuto godere della visione diretta del Cristo attraverso le finestre, ma al contempo i religiosi potevano mantenersi a debita distanza (!). La storia racconta che la signora improvvisamente guarì, Castroreale non ebbe nessun caso di colera: da allora, il 25 di Agosto, il giorno del miracolo, si festeggia il Santissimo Crocifisso (detta anche festa del Cristo Lungo, in dialetto, del Cristu Longu o Signuri Longu). Il palo sul quale viene issato il Cristo, presenta a distanze regolari dei perni infissi nel legno, per evitare lo scivolamento delle lunghe “pertiche con forcine” , con le quali i “maestri di forcina” sostengono l’altissimo Crocifisso durante la processione che procede lungo le strade della cittadina, ma anche per consentirne l’abbassamento e l’innalzamento attraverso l’ingresso delle due chiese nelle quali viene portato.
Piccola nota in chiusura: nella Chiesa Madre si trova la Cappella dell’Assunzione ove è sito il complesso statuario della Madonna Assunta (1848), il cui autore è il messinese Matteo Mancuso, al quale, durante la lavorazione della statua, morì un figlio che egli impersonò nell’angioletto con gli occhi chiusi ai piedi della Madonna; in basso sotto la statua si trova la statuetta del seicento di Maria Bambina, che viene portata in processione l’otto settembre dai bambini che ricevono la prima comunione.

Taken in The Center of Slavs and Vikings on Wolin Island, Poland. One of the most interesting things was there for me, that some people live there in these huts, like ages ago. Looking ot them was like travel in time :)
An open-air ethnographic museum of Slavs and Vikings in Wolin is the reconstruction of buildings from the early Middle Ages - from IX to XI century, you can see how the daily life of our ancestors could be and how they lived and worked. In het inside of het huts of different constructions one can see the replicas of the furniture, tools and the daily life items used 1000 years ago.
In the villages of Slavs and Vikings, you can visit a number of houses, among others the house of an amber jeweller, minter, potter or a fisherman. The houses are surrounded by fortifications and a tower with a gate. An interesting attraction are two runic stones of which one is dedicated to Świętosława, a daughter of Mieszko I of Poland and the second to the Norwegian King – Olaf Tryggvason. In the center is able to participate in living history lesson, to move back in time 1,000 years ago. Visitors can view and check the use of old everyday objects, furniture, tools, and may also participate in demonstrations of old crafts and science. There are also organised workshops of ancient crafts, and every summer a great outdoor event “The Slavs and Vikings Festival” takes place there.

Skansen wikingów na wyspie Wolin. Muszę przyznać, że mnie zachwycił. A najbardziej chyba to, że część z tych chat jest niemal cały czas używana przez garstkę osób, które tam sobie mieszkają, ubrani w stroje z epoki. Kiedy widziałam jak pichcili sobie obiad w kociołku, to było to zupełnie jak podróż w czasie :)
Skansen stanowią rekonstrukcje domów mieszkalnych oraz zabudowań rzemieślniczych z okresu wczesnego średniowiecza – od IX do XI w. Budowle na terenie skansenu są otoczone wałami obronnymi oraz palisadą z bramą i wieżyczkami obronnymi. We wnętrzach chat można obejrzeć repliki mebli, narzędzi i przedmiotów codziennego użytku sprzed 1000 lat.
W skansenie znajdują się: chata mincerza, skórnika, garncarza, szklarza, rogownika, jubilera, skryby, rybaka, bursztynnika, warsztat introligatorski, kantor oraz magazyn kupiecki. Skansen ten charakteryzuje się tym, iż do wszystkich chat można wejść, wszystkiego dotknąć, wypróbować narzędzia, usiąść za rekonstrukcją historycznego stołu, czy położyć się na łóżku. Co roku na terenie skansenu ma miejsce wielki Festiwal Słowian i Wikingów, podczas którego odbywają się inscenizacje walk średniowiecznych wojów oraz pokazy dawnych rzemiosł. W skansenie kilkakrotnie kręcone były filmy, m.in. dla TVP czy History Channel.
This is the third in my series of Autumn leaf macros taken along the Sweet Track at Shapwick .The air was filled with the movement of falling leaves and dragonflies on the wing
What I like with this is the way the dragonfly is roosting on a curled Autumn leaf and the veins on the leaf echo the dragonflies wing. I am guessing this is some of darter dragonfly.

Every now and again I get all excited about Macro photography, and this morning the light was perfect. Caught this little Leaf Bug (correction, many thanks to afterforty who pointed out this is a Hawthorn Shieldbug) tangled in a spiders web. Couldn't work out if it was stuck or merely having a bit of a rest.
Wonderful sunny autumn day topped off with wine and good company.
