Bassano del Grappa
is a city and comune in the province of Vicenza, region Veneto, in northern Italy. It bounds the communes of Cassola, Marostica, Solagna, Pove del Grappa, Romano d'Ezzelino, Campolongo sul Brenta, Conco, Rosà, Cartigliano and Nove. Some neighbourhoods of these communes have become in practice a part of the urban area of Bassano, so that the population of the whole urban area is higher than the population of Bassano proper.
The artist Jacopo Bassano was born, worked, and died in Bassano and took it as his surname. Bassano Del Grappa is also famous for inventing the spirit Grappa, traditionally an after-dinner drink made from pomace (discarded grape seeds, stalks, and stems).

PIAZZA MAZZINI
Il poeta Gabriele d’Annunzio definì Asiago “la più piccola e più luminosa città d’Italia”, coniando uno slogan che sembra scritto oggi. Asiago è il centro principale dell’Altopiano più vasto d’Italia, una vasta conca verde nel cuore della montagna veneta circondata da cime che arrivano a 2.350 metri d’altezza, che ospita anche gli altri 7 Comuni del comprensorio: Conco, Enego, Foza, Gallio, Lusiana, Roana e Rotzo. Il centro della città di Asiago si trova ad un’altitudine di 1001 m sul livello del mare.Completamente ricostruito dopo la Prima Guerra Mondiale, colpisce per la bellezza architettonica e l’ampiezza delle strade e delle piazze, tratti caratteristici rispetto ad altri paesi di montagna. Un gioiello in mezzo al verde, da scoprire e da vivere.

MAZZINI SQUARE
The poet Gabriele d'Annunzio called Asiago "the smallest and brightest city in Italy", coining a slogan that seems to be written today. Asiago is the main center of the largest plateau in Italy, a vast green basin in the heart of the Venetian mountain surrounded by peaks that reach 2,350 meters in height, which also hosts the other 7 municipalities of the area: Conco, Enego, Foza , Gallio, Lusiana, Roana and Rotzo. The center of the city of Asiago is located at an altitude of 1001 m above sea level.Completely rebuilt after the First World War, it is striking for the architectural beauty and the width of the streets and squares, characteristic features compared to other towns of mountain. A jewel in the middle of the green, to be discovered and experienced.

Toured the Conco Quarries in Willard, MO. Besides seeing lots of fossils, I spotted this tree which probably did not have an easy life growing in a quarry!
An old Missouri quarry that has been given new life. "Throughout its history, the Phenix quarry has produced cut limestone blocks. Before the widespread adoption of ready-mixed concrete, cut stone was the material of choice for substantial building foundations, and thus was in considerable demand everywhere." "And after decades of silence, limestone and marble are being mined from the bowels of the quarry again. The historic company was one of the nation’s largest producers of marble and was the lifeblood of Phenix, Missouri, which transformed into a ghost town when the company shut down. The marble (Napoleon Gray) was used in state capitol buildings in Missouri, Oregon and Nebraska; the New York Stock Exchange; and The Legion of Honor: the Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco, to name a few.
In June 2016, Conco Companies bought the quarry, which is located 20 miles northwest of Springfield between Ash Grove and Walnut Grove. The business is being revived and produces limestone cut to order and polished marble slabs."

There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now
Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past
Don't tell no lie
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear
Such a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now, you will hear
There's a Natural Mystic blowing through the air
Such a Natural Mystic, blowing through the air
There's a Natural Mystic, blowing through the air
Such a Natural Mystic, blowing through the air
Such a Natural Mystic, blowing through the air
Such a Natural Mystic, blowing through the air

Wickham Place is the London home of Lord and Lady Southgate, their children and staff. Located in fashionable Belgravia it is a fine Georgian terrace house.
Today we are below stairs in the Wickham Place kitchen. Lower maids Sarah and Tilly, and scullery maid Agnes have been sent back to London from the Southgate’s family estate in Buckinghamshire, ahead of all the other staff, to give the terrace a good spring clean before the family return for the commencement of the London Season. The boy from Mr. Willson the high-end Mayfair grocer has just delivered Mrs. Bradley’s order of groceries, telephoned through from Buckinghamshire and Agnes is charged with the job of readying the pantry and cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom in readiness for Cook’s return. Mrs. Blackheath the Housekeeper has hired some London girls to come and help Sarah and Tilly, as well as a char woman from Whitechapel to do some of the heavier work and Mrs Nelsong* the chimney sweep to clean the flues. Between them all they will make spick where speck was and span where squalor. On and around Cook’s deal table stand the all the paraphernalia that will be required to give Wickham Place a good spring clean.
“Agnes, put the kettle on whilst we wait for the hired girls to arrive.” Sarah says as she settles down onto a chair. “Might be our only time before lunchtime to have a nice cup.”
“Haven’t you got two hands?” mutters Agnes with unsuspected pluck that takes the two maids aback. “I’ve got Mr. Willson’s delivery to unpack! Two big boxes of dry and tinned goods, not to mention the baskets of vegetables by the door.”
“Oh please Agnes!” Tilly pleads. “Anyway, you’re the scullery maid, so you’re supposed to do for us.”
“You can do for yourselves.” Agnes sulks. “Anyway, I haven’t any milk for tea yet. The milk float hasn’t been through the square yet.”
“I hate spring cleaning,” mutters Sarah.
“Me too!” groans Tilly. “Why do we always get lumped with the hard graft?”
“What are you two complaining for? Mrs. Blackheath has hired local skivvies to help you, and no doubt for you to boss around. I get no-one to help me, and I have to black lead the whole range before Mrs. Bradley gets here on Thursday.”
“The girls will need bossing without Mrs. Blackheath here to keep them in line. Remember the skivvies we had last year Sarah?”
“Do I ever Tilly! Laziest skivvies I’ve ever seen.”
“They’d have to be, to outdo you on that score,” mutters Agnes quietly under her breath.
“What was that Agnes?” pipes up Sarah, jumping up from her seat.
“I was just saying that you two had better make a start then,” Agnes replies, thinking quickly. “If they are going to be lazy.
“I hate to say it Sarah, but she’s right,” says Tilly. “Come on. The sooner we start the sooner we can finish.”
“Right-oh Tilly. Let’s go.”
The two maids start gathering up the mop, broom, tin buckets and cleaning agents to start their spring clean.
The Wickham Place kitchens are situated on the ground floor of Wickham Place, adjoining the Butler’s Pantry. It is dominated by big black leaded range that Agnes has to clean, and next to it stands a heavy dark wood dresser that has been there for as long as anyone can remember. There is a white enamelled sink to one side with deep cupboards to house the necessary cleaning agents the scullery maid needs to keep the kitchen clean for the cook. In the middle of the kitchen stands Cook’s preserve, the pine deal table on which she does most of her preparation for both the meals served to the family upstairs and those for the downstairs staff.
*Mrs May Nelsong was a real person. With her name often mistakenly spelt as ‘Nelson’, Mrs. Nelsong was the only female chimney sweep in London. She lived in East Clapham and cleaned chimneys throughout London before the Second World War. She was so famous she even featured in Churchman’s ‘In Town Tonight’ cigarette card series.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “spring” was chosen by Gary, Gazman_AU.
I know we usually think of flowers and baby birds when spring is mentioned, so I thought I’d try and do something a bit different, so I’ve created another “downstairs” tableaux is made up of part of my 1:12 size dollhouse miniatures collection. Some pieces come from my own childhood like the ladderback chair. Other items I acquired as an adult through specialist online dealers and artisans who specialise in realistic 1:12 size miniatures.
Fun things to look for in this tableaux include:
The feather duster in the bucket made myself using fledgling feathers (very spring) which I picked up off the lawn one day thinking they would come in handy in my miniatures collection sometime. I bound them with thread to the handle which is made from a fancy ended toothpick!
On the table we have box of Sunlight soap, some Conco Vinegar and a package of Borax: cleaning essentials in any Edwardian household. Sunlight Soap was first introduced in 1884. It was produced at Port Sunlight in Wirrel, Merseyside, a model village built by Lever Brothers for the workers of their factories which produced the popular soap brands Lux, Lifebuoy and Sunlight. Although first discovered in the Eighth Century in Tibet, Borax came into common use in the late Nineteenth Century when it was used in Victorian and Edwardian households as an early laundry detergent and whitener. However, it was also useful for getting rid of stains, mould and mildew off walls. Although I can find no listings for the Conco brand of vinegar, vinegar has many uses for cleaning a home.
Behind the box, next to the brass kettle is a box containing a bottle of Buffalo Ammonia. The American Bluing Company established in 1873 and located in Buffalo New York manufactured Buffalo Ammonia. The brand still exists today but is now known as an all-purpose spiritual cleanser which invokes the power of the sacred buffalo of the Native Americans. Interestingly, it has the same label as the original Victorian Buffalo Ammonia.
In front of the box is can of Vim and some Zeebo Grate Polish, also common cleaning agents in any Edwardian household. Vim scouring powder was created by William Hesketh Lever (1st Viscount Leverhulme) and introduced to the market in 1904. It was produced at Port Sunlight in Wirrel, Merseyside, a model village built by Lever Brothers for the workers of their factories which produced the popular soap brands Lux, Lifebuoy and Sunlight. Zebo (or originally Zebra) Grate Polish was a substance launched in 1890 by Reckitts to polish the grate to a gleam using a mixture that consisted of pure black graphite finely ground, carbon black, a binding agent and a solvent to keep it fluid for application with a cloth or more commonly newspaper.
On the brick floor of the kitchen in front of the bucket and green bottle of disinfectant are two tins of polish. Created in the late 1800s by Reckitts, Red Cardinal tile polish is used for stone, clay, cement, unglazed tiles and brickwork to brighten and bring out the red in them. It is still available from specialist suppliers to this day. Mansion Polish was produced by the Chiswick Polish Company from around the turn of the Twentieth Century. Suitable as a floor or furniture wax, it promoted health and hygiene, and it too is still available today from specialist cleaning stockists.
The Edwardians were wonderful advertisers of products. The boxes that the provisions from Mr. Wilson’s grocery have arrived in advertise Sunlight Soap, the origins of which are described above, and Brasso. Brasso Metal Polish is a British all-purpose metal cleaning product introduced to market in 1905 by Reckitt and Sons, who also produced Silvo, which was used specifically for cleaning silver, silver plate and EPNS. Brasso could easily be used by Agnes to keep the copper kettle and other metal items around the kitchen gleaming. Both Brasso and Silvo are still produced today and can be found on supermarket shelves worldwide.
The tin buckets, enamel bowls, mop, scrubbing brush and birchwood broom are all artisan made miniatures that I have acquired in more recent years.
The bottle of purple liquid next to the larger of the tin buckets is the only non-period piece, but I couldn’t resist including it, as I doubt I will ever be able to photograph it as part of any other tableaux. Thus, I hope you will forgive me for this indulgence. It’s a bottle of Gough’s Lavender disinfectant. Gough’s was one of a number of products produced by the Sunshine Bleach Company in Melbourne’s western suburb of Sunshine between 1953 and 1961. The Sunshine Bleach Company was set up by Scottish immigrants Ann and David Gough. The Gough family produced around six cleaning products over their decade of business including Pine Fume disinfectant, Nylozone, Perfectant, Dai-Zone and Gough’s Lavender.
Nilüfer göletinin çevresini dolanırken ahşap yürüyüş parkuru üzerinde yanından geçtiğim sırada sahibini benden korumak için bana hırlayan bu conconla karşılaştım. Kerata hem güzel bir poz verdi hem de niyetimi anlamaya çalıştı, acaba tehlikeli miyim, dost muyum. Böyle güzel varlıklara düşman olunur mu yahu. Adını unuttum ama tanıyan birileri fotoğrafın altına yazarsa bende eklerim. Sanırım Pomeranian cinsi ya da pomeranyalı tabir edilen türden.

Bassano del Grappa
is a city and comune in the province of Vicenza, region Veneto, in northern Italy. It bounds the communes of Cassola, Marostica, Solagna, Pove del Grappa, Romano d'Ezzelino, Campolongo sul Brenta, Conco, Rosà, Cartigliano and Nove. Some neighbourhoods of these communes have become in practice a part of the urban area of Bassano, so that the population of the whole urban area is higher than the population of Bassano proper.
The artist Jacopo Bassano was born, worked, and died in Bassano and took it as his surname. Bassano Del Grappa is also famous for inventing the spirit Grappa, traditionally an after-dinner drink made from pomace (discarded grape seeds, stalks, and stems).

CAÑADA AGUILAR
El lugar donde nace el Arroyo Balax, en el Parque Natural Sierra de Baza (España), a unos1.900 metros de altitud, se concoe con el nombre de Cañada Aguilar, es un valle muy húmedo, con el suelo turboso, en el que se localiza una importante vegetación endémica, como los Narcisos de Sierra Nevada (Narcissus nevadensis), localmente llamado jarricas, uno de nuestros más notables endemismos que fue descrito para la ciencia en el año 1933, como un endemismo local de Sierra Nevada, aun cuando sus poblaciones tienen actualmente un rango más amplio y a final de la década de los años ochenta del pasado siglo también fue descrito en la Sierra de Baza, donde hay contabilizadas al menos cuatro poblaciones, una de ellas, en este paraje de la Cañada Aguilar que se reproduce en la imagen, en que sus tonos amarillos ponen el color al paisaje.
