Från kronogård till utarrenderad egendom
Även från 1600-talet finns uppgifter om skatt som betalades i form av mjöl och ål. Ålgård var en kronogård (ägd av staten) fram till 1689. Då donerades gården till kronobefallningsmannen (kronofogde) Johan Seth, som också bodde där något år. Gården förblev i släktens ägo till 1827.
Därefter kom en period med många ägarbyten, ibland bolag med flera ägare, ibland enstaka eller enskild ägare. Fåtal ägare har själva varit mjölnare. De som ägde fastigheten fick som regel en viss procentdel av intäkterna från kvarn, såg och ålfiske. Periodvis har ytterligare en arrendator eller en dräng tagit hand om djur och jordbruk.
Den ursprungliga kvarnen låg vid Grindsbyvattnets naturliga utlopp. Vattennivån i Grindsbyvattnet reglerades genom ett dämme fäst i berghällarna en liten bit nedströms. Järnbultarna från de gamla dammluckorna finns fortfarande kvar alldeles under den lilla träbro som byggts över vattnet.

A butterfly gardeners delight. this variety of the passion vine is a host plant for the gulf fritillary butterfly, zebra longwing, variegated fritillary and the julia. The flowers are lightly fragrant and provide a nice purple pop of color in the garden. The zebras gulfs are starting to show up daily. I'm looking for the Julia, hope they show up soon.
CANYELLES-PINTURA-MASIES-MASIA-HOSTAL-PAISATGES-CARRETERA-CASTELLFOLLIT DEL BOIX-BAGES-CATALUNYA-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS-
Por unas carreteras solitarias en dirección a CASTELLFOLLIT DEL BOIX me voy encontrando algunas viejas masÃas rodeadas por los árboles que pueblan estas montañas en el interior de la Comarca del Bages, Catalunya Central, antiguas casas como islotes de la civilización entre tanta vegetación, las voy pintando como si fueran monumentos erigidos en otros tiempos, esta mansión rrecibe el nombre de Hostal y se encuentra muy cercana a CAN CANYELLES, en ella me atraen las ventanas y puertas insertas en una fachada de tonos claros, debajo muros de hormigón, el tejado sobresale por su su brillante luminosidad, los rayos del sol inciden en este punto para ejercer el contraste con los más oscuros contornos de los troncos y follaje de los à rboles del bosque. Pintura del artista pintor Ernest Descals sobre papel catulina de 50 x 65 centÃmetros, paisajes que me provocan deseos de pintar.
Been along time since i've done anything I think is worth posting....
shot swerv and bile for the paint.
Sebring was founded in 1912. It was named after George E. Sebring, a pottery manufacturer from Ohio who developed the city. The village of Sebring, Ohio, is also named after George E. Sebring (1859–1927) and his family. It was chartered by the state of Florida in 1913 and was selected as the county seat of Highlands County when the county was created in 1921.
Sebring is a city in Highlands County, Florida, United States, nicknamed "The City on the Circle", in reference to Circle Drive, the center of the Sebring Downtown Historic District. In 2010, the United States Census Bureau reported a population of 10,491. It is the county seat of Highlands County and is the principal city of the Sebring Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Sebring is the home of the Sebring International Raceway, created on a former airbase, first used in 1950. It hosted the 1959 Formula One United States Grand Prix but is currently best known as the host of the 12 Hours of Sebring, an annual TUDOR United SportsCar Championship race. Nearby Highlands Hammock State Park is a popular attraction. Additionally, the house where novelist Rex Beach committed suicide is located on one of Sebring's main lakes, Lake Jackson.

We hosted an absolutely wonderful event in our bookshop recently, with storyteller Mara Menzies, who had adapted her own storytelling performance into a novel, Blood and Gold, which draws on her Kenyan and Scottish roots, history and mythology, exploring family, history, colonialism and more through various lenses.
Mara treated us to some of her live storytelling, which was just a delight to experience. Much as I am forever in love with the written word, I'm always aware the roots of the modern books (and plays and films and other media) run back millennia to oral storytelling.
Long, long before even the most ancient stories we have written down, such as Gilgamesh, there were storytellers talking, acting and singing and dancing these tales, each putting their own spin on them. Some would have been professional storytellers like Mara, others just the person in a village or small, wandering tribe, who had the gift and knowledge, and would spin them around a flickering camp fire at night to their small groups.
We have aways told stories, it's part of the spiritual element of our DNA as humans, and it's something that is still wonderful and thrilling and magical to experience, even in an age of instant digital gratification or giant screen entertainment or shelves full of books on every subject.
Mara's book Blood and Gold is published by Birlinn, and you can follow her on Twitter twitter.com/marastoryteller She may be bringing her performance back to the Edinburgh Fringe next year, if she does I highly recommend catching it.
