‘Water is life’s mater and matrix, mother and medium.
There is no life without water‘
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

On my travels over the summer break I came across this stunning well, situated up north of the island in the very quaint village of Patrimonio, which triggered off a multitude of thoughts relating to the importance of water and wells throughout time.
More than likely you’ll agree if I say water is a natural element we take for granted most of the time, although recent (and less recent) observations and information from all over the world are altering our thoughts indefinitely in an ongoing and regular way, urging us to reflect and take action when necessary.
Let’s take the example where surface water is insufficient, wells in this case can supply a correct source of water for various ...

An interesting little map for you, this time dealing with ‘time travel’ – quite often, many of you wonder how long it actually takes to get from one town to another, north to south and east to west.

Now, brushing up on English can be a time-consuming process, and the best way is (by far) choosing to spend time in an English speaking country.

A definite and constant visible/invisible bond links the two islands, a natural attraction in other word...

Taking into account that proof of evident ‘homologous chromosome triangulation’, we know that Manuel Stuart had a matrilineal ancestry in Breslau (Silesia, central Europe).

In 1740, Ulysse Maximillian Brown was the governor of Breslau.
