I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
// Joyce Kilmer
Haughton Chapel was originally the parish church of the long since vanished village of Haughton. Probably made of wood in its early years (around 1000 A.D.) it was gradually re-built in stone from the late Saxon/early Norman years until the 1400’s. its remains lie in a small copse by the sides of the River Maun around 400 metres from Haughton Hall Farm. Modernisation work was carried out on the chapel in the 1300’s as can be seen from the pointed arches of that date. These were then blocked off when the northern aisle was demolished in the 1400’s. Although no graves can be seen today there are burials in the surrounding grounds and within the chapel walls. Some gravestones were removed many years ago. Since 1257 the chapel , dedicated to St James, has been link to the parish church of St Edmunds in Walesby. Until recently 2 fonts from the chapel, as was a gravestone, lay in the churchyard in Walesby. The fonts were Norman with one possibly being of the late Saxon period. The land around the chapel was enclosed by the residents of Haughton Hall in 1509. These, the Stanhopes, used the chapel as their private place of worship and burial. Later in the reign of Henry VII the Hall was sold to the Holles family who retained the use of the chapel for private services. The village of Haughton may have lain close to the chapel and was probably abandoned at the time of enclosure – no trace remains of it today.
Pensée du jour :
Il faut se concentrer sur ce qu’il nous reste et non sur ce qu’on a perdu...
-It should to concentrate on what stay to us and not on what we lost.
-Man muß sich darauf konzentrieren, was es wir übrig bleibt und nicht darauf, was man verloren hat.
-Bisogna concentrarsi su ciò che ci resta e non su ciò che si è perso.

Dege, province du Sichuan, Chine
Il est assez fréquent de croiser dans les rues de Dege et de sa région, autour du monastère, des femmes qui portent une coiffure formée d'une série de turquoises et de corail, sur un écheveau de laine rouge, de part et d'autre d'un socle circulaire en or portant lui-même une turquoise de plus grande taille. Ici la coiffure est réduite à ce dernier. La tenue est souvent complétée par d'imposants bijoux, colliers et boucles d'oreilles, utilisant la turquoise mais aussi le corail et l'ambre.
Ces femmes sont désignées par les Chinois sous le terme générique de "Tibétaines" et ne sont pas reconnues comme une minorité particulière par le gouvernement central chinois.
Si vous avez des précisions sur cette ethnie, je suis intéressé par vos informations.
Chez les nomades à tentes noires, dans la montagne entre Dege et Gartse, province du Sichuan, Chine.
En été les prairies d'altitude très vertes du plateau tibétain sont ponctuées des taches blanches ou noires des tentes des nomades autour desquelles paissent des troupeaux de yacks ou de moutons.
Selon les lieux et les conditions d’implantation, les tentes des pasteurs se répartissent en effet en plusieurs types parmi lesquels les tentes noires en laine de moutons, utilisées par les bergers dans les vastes pacages où les troupeaux ne se déplacent que sur de courtes distances.
Les tentes en toile blanches, plus légères et faciles à transporter, permettent davantage de mobilité.
