Sights and Places:
Vicars' Close
Vicars' Close, in Wells, Somerset, England, is claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with original buildings surviving intact in Europe. It comprises numerous Grade I listed buildings, comprising 27 residences (originally 44)
Wells Cathedral
(1175 to 1490)
The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, is a Church of England cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The cathedral is dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle and is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. As with other cathedrals, it is the mother church of the diocese and contains the bishop's throne
Penniless Porch, Wells
is an entrance gateway into a walled precinct, the Liberty of St Andrew, which encloses the twelfth century Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, Vicar's Close and the residences of the clergy who serve the cathedral.
The Penniless Porch was built around 1450, by Bishop Thomas Beckington (also spelt Beckyngton) and bears his rebus or badge on the cathedral side. It forms one of a pair with The Bishop's Eye which formed the gateway into the Bishop's palace from the market place.
It was named for the beggars who plied their trade there.
It is a three-storey building of Doulting ashlar stone, with lead roof and has been designated as a Grade I listed building
Bishop's Palace
The Bishop's Palace and accompanying Bishops House at Wells in the English county of Somerset, is adjacent to Wells Cathedral and has been the home of the Bishops of the Diocese of Bath and Wells for 800 years. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
Building of the palace started around 1210 by Bishops Jocelin of Wells and Reginald Fitz Jocelin. The chapel and great hall were added by Bishop Robert Burnell between 1275 and 1292. The walls, gatehouse and moat were added in the 14th century by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury. The Bishops House was added in the 15th century by Bishop Thomas Beckington. The great hall later fell into disrepair and was partially demolished around 1830.
The palace was originally surrounded by a medieval deer park. When the walls were built, streams were diverted to form the moat as a reservoir. In the 1820s, the grounds within the walls were planted and laid out as pleasure grounds by Bishop George Law, who created a reflecting pond near the springs. Parts of the buildings are still used as a residence by the current bishop, however much of the palace is now used for public functions and as a tourist attraction.
Glastonbury Abbey
Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. The ruins are now a grade I listed building, and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and are open as a visitor attraction.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th, before a major fire in 1184 destroyed the buildings. It was rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. The abbey also controlled large tracts of surrounding land and was instrumental in major drainage projects on the Somerset Levels. The abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. The last abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.
From at least the 12th century the Glastonbury area was frequently associated with the legend of King Arthur, a connection promoted by medieval monks who asserted that Glastonbury was Avalon. Christian legends have also claimed that the abbey was founded by Joseph of Arimathea in the 1st century.
These places are enchanted with a spiritual Aura that has prevailed for centuries and it is ready to inspire you the second you breath their air.
Cheers
Luis Eduardo.

Masked Ball scene | Much Ado About Nothing (1993) | HD | GR/EN subs
cc | subs | Much Ado About Nothing (1993) [There's a double meaning in that!] | British/American romantic comedy film based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name. It was adapted for the screen and directed by Kenneth Branagh, who plays Benedick; also starring Branagh's then-wife Emma Thompson (Beatrice), Robert Sean Leonard (Claudio), Denzel Washington (Don Pedro), Michael Keaton (Dogberry), Keanu Reeves (Don John), Richard Briers (Leonato), and Kate Beckinsale (Hero) in her film debut. | #fairusecommentary #imsurehesinthefleet
#MuchAdoAboutNothing (play) by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. The play was included in the First Folio, published in 1623.
By means of noting (which, in Shakespeare's day, sounded similar to nothing as in the play's title,[1][2] and which means gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other, and Claudio is tricked into rejecting Hero at the altar on the erroneous belief that she has been unfaithful. At the end, Benedick and Beatrice join forces to set things right, and the others join in a dance celebrating the marriages of the two couples.
#FavPlaysEver, but I just need to point out that Don John's treason came to fruition because Claudio was stupidaf! I mean, how could they have confused him for Benedick from behind? Benedick had blonde hair. But even so, after Don John's lie about the prince and Hero was revealed in the masked ball how could Claudio listen to his accusations a second time? Why didn't he inform the prince of his brother's rumors, or sth? Claudio sucks!
A Ride Around West Wiltshire (KMX125, 7.11.12)
A ride across West Wiltshire using off-road/trail routes where appropriate rights of way exist. The route starts in Seend, near Devizes before passing through Keevil, Bulkington, Marston, Great Cheverell and joining the Imber Range Perimeter Path on Salisbury Plain. Byways in Edington, Westbury, Dilton Marsh, Chapmanslade and Warminster are also featured.
The 1988 Kawasaki KMX125 is a trail bike and not as well suited to the route as my other bikes.
Theremin school - John Otway teaches the art of the Theremin
Former punk rocker and long standing British Cult Pop Star John Otway has been on the music scene for nearly 40 years.
Otway was booked by his old school to teach it's sixth form music students how to play the Theremin. Otway grew up in Aylesbury and as a student attended the Grange School, where he now returns. The Theremin is almost unique among musical instruments in that it is played without physical contact. The Theremin was invented in 1919 by a Russian physicist named Lev Termen (in the United States his name was Leon Theremin for which he is best known). The musician stands in front of the instrument and moves their hands or indeed their body in the proximity of two metal antennas. The distance from one antenna determines frequency (pitch), and the distance from the other controls amplitude (volume). Most frequently, the right hand controls the pitch and the left controls the volume, although some performers reverse this arrangement.

Carrot
The carrot , due to its horn-like shape) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that world production of carrots and turnips for calendar year 2011 was almost 35.658 million tonnes. Almost half were grown in China. Carrots are widely used in many cuisines, especially in the preparation of salads, and carrot salads are a tradition in many regional cuisines.
