Taroudant (Arabic: تارودانت) is a Moroccan city located in the Sous Valley in the southern part of the country. It is situated east from Agadir on the road to Ouarzazate and south from Marrakech. It can be easily visited as a day trip from Agadir en route to the Sahara Desert. It has the feel of a small fortified market town on some caravan route. It is also known for its local crafts like jewelry and carpets.
It is called the "Grandmother of Marrakech" because it is a scaled down, slowed down town that resembles Marrakech with its surrounding ramparts. Unlike Marrakech, Taroudant contains almost the whole city within its walls. (Ref. Wiki)
Taroudant è una città del Marocco, capoluogo della provincia omonima, nella regione di Souss-Massa-Draâ.La città è anche conosciuta come Tārūdānt o Tarudannt e soprannominata la piccola Marrakech a causa delle rosse mura che la cingono. Già importante centro carovaniero oggi possiede un grande suq e la domenica è sede di un mercato all'aperto con giocolieri, cantastorie e guaritori.

Mercure Beaune Centre.
My room was on the 2nd floor facing the car park.
We stayed at this Mercure hotel in Beaune from the 5th to 9th June 2017.
Views from my hotel room window on the 2nd floor.
The spire and distinctive multicolour tiled roof of the Hôtel-Dieu is visible from the 2nd floor of the hotel we stayed at. We visited the place on our second day in Beaune. The dome is from the Church of Notre-Dame.
The Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse in Beaune, France. It was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor. The original hospital building, the Hôtel-Dieu, one of the finest examples of French fifteenth-century architecture, is now a museum. Services for patients are now provided in modern hospital buildings.
An important charity wine auction is held in November each year (formerly in the great hall of the Hôtel-Dieu).
The Hôtel-Dieu was founded on 4 August 1443, when Burgundy was ruled by Duke Philip the Good. The Hundred Years' War had recently been brought to a close by the signing of the Treaty of Arras in 1435. Massacres, however, continued with marauding bands (écorcheurs) still roaming the countryside, pillaging and destroying, provoking misery and famine. The majority of the people of Beaune were declared destitute. Nicolas Rolin, the Duke's Chancellor, and his wife Guigone de Salins, responded by building a hospital and refuge for the poor.The majority of the population of Beaune were destitute, and the area had recently suffered an outbreak of plague. Having gained permission from Pope Eugene IV in 1441, the hospice was built and consecrated on 31 December 1452. In conjunction, Rolin established the "Les sœurs hospitalières de Beaune" religious order.
The building's design was probably overseen by the Flemish architect Jacques Wiscrère and remained as a hospital until the late 1970s. There is a documentary record of a large range of Flemish and French masons, painters and glass cutters employed for its construction. The facade is today regarded as a superior example of Northern Renaissance civic architecture and a treasure trove of panel painting, given its numerous portraits of Rolin, his wife and members of his extended family.
The Hospices de Beaune consists of a pair of two-storied buildings arranged around a stone courtyard. The building wings are well-preserved today; they contain half-timber galleries and ornate rooftops with dormer windows. The hospital is arranged so that the wings served the office, kitchen and apothecary functions. The nuns and patients were housed nearer the chapel, towards the center of the complex.
The Hospices de Beaune received the first patient on 1 January 1452. Elderly, disabled and sick people, with orphans, women about to give birth and the destitute have all been uninterruptedly welcomed for treatment and refuge from the Middle Ages until today. This Catholic institution focused on healing both the body and spirit of its patients.
Over the centuries, the hospital radiated outwards, grouping with similar establishments in the surrounding villages of Pommard, Nolay, Meursault. Many donations - farms, property, woods, works of art and of course vineyards - were made to it, by grateful families and generous benefactors. The institution is one of the best and oldest examples of historical, philanthropic, and wine-producing heritage, and has become linked with the economic and cultural life of Burgundy.

This is Joan of Arc, one of a series of Heroes of History from original drawings by Percy F Spence.
Delta Fine Cut 300pc Joan of Arc, Heroes of History Series,,
This example was sold by a Canadian BCD member in April 2013. The box was covered in a blue multicolour jazzy paper.
Another copy in a different patterned box was sold in Oct 2020, making the high price of £133.
You can see this puzzle advertised in two catalogues of Delta Fine Cut puzzles sold by AW Gamages, Ltd or by Hamleys on the Jigasaurus site:
www.thejigasaurus.com/jigasaurus/v/jones/literature/gamag...
The coloured page shows six: Joan of Arc, King Richard I, King Henry V, Edward the Black Prince, The Chevalier de Bayard, Prince Rupert. Each is 16x11in (or 18x11in) with 300pc, costing 8s 6d.
The catalogue proudly declares "Mr Spence has been at great pains to ensure complete accuracy in the costumes and armour of the various periods depicted and his drawings may be accepted as authentic records. Both for their educational value and artistic merit this series of puzzles in colour is of real interest to all scholastic authorities."
Delta Fine Cut (and later, Delta) were marketing names for puzzles made by AVN Jones & Co., Ltd. of 64, Fore Street, London, E.C.2. They produced good quality puzzles in various series including the South African and the Australian Series. Earliest examples were marketed as Delta, in various types of box which generally did not show the makers name. Delta Fine Cut was a vast range of jigsaw puzzles believed to date from the late 1920's. The box label shows a family, gathered around the table assembling a jigsaw puzzle, the boxes being covered with jazz-age patterns.
Jigasaurus has photos of 25 Delta Fine Cut jigsaws, plus more of Delta ones:

Wikipedia provides information on Australian artist Percy F Spence:
"Percy Frederick Seaton Spence (14 December 1868 – 3 August 1933) was born in Sydney, seventh child of English parents Francis Spence, civil servant, and his wife Hannah, née Turnbull. Spence spent his youth in Fiji where his father held a government position. Spence became an illustrator to the Sydney Daily Telegraph, Illustrated Sydney News and The Bulletin and also exhibited at the Royal Art Society.
In 1893 Spence made two drawings of Robert Louis Stevenson in Sydney; one is now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Spence went to England after marrying Jessie Wright 30 January 1894; illustrations by him appeared in Punch, Black and White, the Graphic, and other well-known publications of the time. Spence had two pictures in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1899 and his work was also accepted in the three following years. In 1901 he was responsible for the illustrations to Britain's Austral Empire, mostly portraits of the leading Australian politicians of that period.
In 1905 Spence was back in Sydney and held a one-man show of his work, and in 1910 he provided 75 illustrations for the volume Australia, in Black's colour series. They show Spence to have been an artist of ability and variety. Spence died of uraemia on 3 August 1933 in Middlesex Hospital, London, after an eye operation. Spence is represented in the National Gallery and the Mitchell library in Sydney. A pencil sketch of Phil May is in the National Portrait Gallery (London), and other portraits are at University of Sydney and at the High Court. The 'H. M. Australian Fleet arriving at Sydney Heads' and a portrait of Rear-Admiral George Patey are at Buckingham Palace."
For information about Joan of Arc see Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc
Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) c. 1412– 30 May 1431, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint.
Joan of Arc was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle, a peasant family, at Domrémy in north-east France. Joan said she received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent Joan to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted in only nine days. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory.
On 23 May 1430, she was captured at Compiègne by the Burgundian faction which was allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English, and then put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon on a variety of charges. After Cauchon declared her guilty she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, dying at about nineteen years of age.
Twenty-five years after her execution, an inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, debunked the charges against her, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. Compared to the Nine Worthies during her lifetime by Christine de Pizan, in 1803 Joan of Arc was made a national symbol of France by the decision of Napoleon. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. Joan of Arc is one of the nine secondary patron saints of France, along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis, St. Michael, St. Remi, St. Petronilla, St. Radegund and St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
Joan of Arc has remained a popular figure in literature, painting, sculpture, and other cultural works since the time of her death, and many famous writers, filmmakers and composers have created works about her. Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc have continued in films, theatre, television, video games, music, and performances to this day.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species of bulbous flowering plant in the genus Allium.
Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, Welsh onion, and Chinese onion.
It is native to South Asia, Central Asia and has long been used as a seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use.
It was known to ancient Egyptians and has been used as both a food flavouring and a traditional medicine.
I have it in my kitchen as decoration, my stomach does not agree with it.
When old I plant the bulbs next to Roses, greenfly also do not like them, LOL.
Have a yummy day and thanx, M, (*_*)

Posting two photos of a fungus commonly seen in mulch, and a most maligned one at that. People complain they stink and I suppose these phalluses have a characteristic smell but I don't think it is objectionable. These two are shorter than normally and I think it is because they did not have enough water. Both are a bit malformed phalluses, one where the head or cap is off centre, and the other which has something on the cap which could be another fungus like Fuligo or remnants of the volva/egg from which it emerged.
These fungi, sometimes called stinkhorns, emerge early in the mornings, stand erect with the gleba (the dark stuff) in the head that contains the spores - flies eat the gleba and spread the spores - then later in the day when the spores have been eaten, the phallus loses its strength and subsides and leans over. The stem of the fungus is spongy and has vertical supports inside. Most phalluses have a skirt or indusium or "crinoline" which joins under the head and which can vary a bit in colour and may be short or full length.
