Winter Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........................
That is what winters are like here now.
Cold, cold, cold.
And once the snow hits, this country seems to grind to a standstill.
This has certainly been the case for the last 2 years. What will this winter bring us???? |
 | December A cold month now with the chance of early snows these days. Certainly the past two years have brought the white stuff to our doors.
Turquoise used to be the traditional birthstone for this month and was said to bring love, happiness and luck.
Tanzanite is also an accepted offering for December.
Discovered in Tanzania back in 1967, the reserves were quite small and it said that they are running out already, perhaps only another 10/15 years of mining left in this small 5km strip of land at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.
A pretty stone, a pleochroic stone, meaning it appears one colour form one direction but when turned in the light a flash of different shades and colours spring into life. |
 | January A fresh new year is ahead of us now, and what pleasures await us in 2012? |
 | February Perhaps the hint of lighter evenings? Maybe a new bud begins to show. |

 | Porcelain Jewellery Born in 1962 in Hochdorf, Switzerland, into a family of craftsmen, jewellery designer Patrik Muff grew up in a highly creative environment, surrounded by hammers, nails and saws.
After completing training as a goldsmith, he studied art in Cologne and there came into contact with very important representatives of the art scene. He then studied briefly in New York and London, opened his 4. König jewellery shop with Klaus Arck and Marie von Chamier and took on teaching posts at Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences and Salzburg Summer Academy. Since 1991 he has been represented by internationally renowned galleries, jewellers and fashion stores. In addition to his own collections he has produced project work with well-known artists and fashion houses such as Jenny Holzer (1994), Strellson (1999), Schiesser Revival (2004) and Puma (2006).
In 2008 he created the Essentials jewellery line for Nymphenburg. Patrik Muff took his inspiration for the collection from historical Nymphenburg designs such as Franz Ignaz Günther’s skull dating from around 1756. Strong sacred symbols expressed in clear imagery characteristic of the work of the designer who currently lives in Munich.

 | The Tunbridge Wells Project You can’t get away from the past in Royal Tunbridge Wells. It’s etched into the fabric of our buildings. It’s engraved on every facade, scratched on every keystone and carved on every lintel. But as new buildings join the old, our collective memory begins to fade.
Designed to capture these memories for future generations, The Tunbridge Wells Project is the ultimate photographic archive of our town’s historic buildings.
This will be a comprehensive, lasting record of how our best-loved buildings look today.
