Point Zero Frozen in Time

You don't like the sketch of Raef Payne's cottage redesigned? That's is OK ofcourse.

For me personally the taste and distaste (and everything in between) tells all about our romantic view or point zero of a place. The perfect picture. Frozen in time. Of what was back then and isn't anymore here and now.

For me personally point zero of Camusfearna is 1948. When the house was a second house (rented) for Gavin Maxwell. When Raef Payne's cottage didn't bear his name and when it wasn't his second house (rented). When there was no landrover track down the hill. When you had to walk the 3 miles up and down the hill. When there still was a lighthouse. When there was no telephone.

For me personally Camusfearna 1961 is a distaste. A paradise lost.

Never get angry about someone else his or her (dis)taste. It mostly tells more about our unconscious perfect picture, our point zero, our romantic view. Frozen in time. Never get fr...n - you know.

French Weather

Climate change on Planet Earth? Sometimes I am afraid species 'homo sapiens' changed climate on our planet "irreversible". What we changed can be unchanged, in time, right?

This summer #2018 it's South of France kind of weather in The Netherlands. Hot. Very hot. And in France and the rest of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea? Very hot. Too hot. Slowly changing into a desert?

Anyway I changed our menu this summer. More cool, wet and fresh salads.
