In fondo alla strada si vede il castello, facilmente accessibile durante la bassa marea. Risale al XIII sec. ma nel 1715 venne bruciato su ordine del capo clan Allan of Clanranald (un ramo del Clan MacDonald) per evitare che cadesse in mani nemiche quando lui dovette lasciarlo per andare a combattere per la causa &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giacobitismo"&gt;giacobita&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scopriamo qualcosa in più della regione in cui si trova questo castello...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;La Penisola di Ardnamurchan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;elvaggia, remota  e molto pittoresca, accessibile da una lunga strada in parte tortuosa, partendo da Fort William [tramite la A82 sull'andata con &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" href="http://www.travelinescotland.com/pdfs/timetables/HIAF009.pdf"&gt;traghetto a Corran&lt;/a&gt; (ogni 20 minuti ca.) e ritornando sulla A830, finendo sempre a Fort William - vedere Mappa sotto]. Si consiglia di eseguire il tragitto in senso orario così da avere il sole alle spalle e lasciare la parte più facile del tragitto per il ritorno quando la stanchezza comincia a farsi sentire. La parte in blu scuro è lunga 130 km. La parte tratteggiata in blu chiaro è per visitare il faro di Ardnamurchan Point e/o Sanna Bay, e sono altre 80 km tra andata e ritorno.

In questi mesi di libertà e spensieratezza imparò a conoscere e a ritrarre gli animali e la natura, e sicuramente da questi luoghi trasse l'ispirazione per alcuni dei suoi racconti, nei quali&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; i suoi piccoli protagonisti vestiti, ne combinano di tutti i colori.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5a/Peter_Rabbit_first_edition_1902a.jpg/200px-Peter_Rabbit_first_edition_1902a.jpg" alt="Peter Rabbit first edition 1902a.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41030000/jpg/_41030221_flopsybunniesshed203.jpg" alt="The Flopsy Bunnies - Copyright©Frederick Warne &amp;amp; Co., 1909, 2002" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il suo personaggio più noto è &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peter Rabbit&lt;/span&gt;, "Peter coniglio", uno dei suoi più cari compagni di gioco. Questo racconto nasce sotto forma di lettera privata, scritta da lei, nel 1893, durante una vacanza in Scozia, e mandata al figlio malato della sua governante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.library.pitt.edu/libraries/is/enroom/illustrators/images/potter/letter1.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://oi53.tinypic.com/dcgbwz.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; Questa stessa governante la spronò a farlo pubblicare come libro, cosa che lei fece, diversi anni dopo, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;accollandosi anche le spese della prima edizione di 250 copie, dato che il suo libro non interessava a nessun editore.&lt;/span&gt; Successivamente tramite alcune circostanze fortuite riuscì a trovare una casa editrice disposta a pubblicarlo e da qui ebbe inizio la sua carriera da scrittrice. Era il 1902. Dopo il primo racconto, ne seguirono altri 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.simtalk.com/potter2/JeremyFisher/JeremyFisher15.jpg" alt="The fish, practically in the frog's lap, is jumping back into the water." /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/wml/exhibitions/beatrixpotter/graphics/small/two_bad_mice_cover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La maggior parte dei suoi personaggi sono ispirati ai suoi animali domestici... &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;conigli, ricci, topi, lucertole, rane, pippistrelli ecc.&lt;/span&gt; Altri, invece, traggono ispirazione da "persone" da lei conosciute... come quello di Mrs Tiggywinkle, ispirato ad una lavandaia di Dalguise House, la tenuta dove risiedeva quando visitava la Scozia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://oi55.tinypic.com/20kt5rm.jpg" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Miss Tiggywinkle&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Si innamorò&lt;/span&gt;, ricambiata, del suo editore...&lt;/span&gt; ma i suoi genitori si opponevano fortemente a questa sua relazione con un uomo che "lavorasse"... loro erano ereditieri... e allora Beatrix accolse un loro ultimatum, nel quale accettò di allontanarsi da lui per un periodo di prova, e una volta rientrata a Londra, se fosse stata ancora innamorata, poteva a quel punto sposarsi con tutta la loro benedizione. La sfortuna volle che lui si ammalò durante questa sua assenza e purtroppo morì...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cottagetales.com/pix/hilltop3.gif" /&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo aver superato questo periodo difficile, e grazie ai soldi guadagnati con la vendita dei suoi libri,&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; lasciò gli agi della sfarzosa dimora di famiglia a Londra&lt;/span&gt; e si stabilì in un delizioso cottage, "Hill Top" nel Lake District. Qui, per i successivi 30 anni, oltre a scrivere, lottò per la salvaguardia della natura, acquistando innumerevoli terreni (ben 14 fattorie e 4000 acri di terra) che rischiavano di finire in mano a costruttori senza scrupoli...  terreni che poi lasciò in eredità al National Trust, ente che svolge funzioni di soprintendenza ai beni culturali e ambientali della Gran Bretagna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oltre a gestire le sue proprietà, divenne un'&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;abile allevatrice di pecore Herdwick&lt;/span&gt;, pluripremiate nelle mostre, nonché la &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;prima donna ad essere nominata presidente dell'Associazione degli Herdwick Sheep Breeders&lt;/span&gt;. Partecipò inoltre come&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; giudice di gara a varie manifestazioni agricole&lt;/span&gt;, e divenne esperta di micologia (studio dei funghi), sua passione fin dagli anni giovanili, scoprendo anche importanti novità per quanto riguarda i licheni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Insomma in un'era in cui il ruolo della donna era quello di svolgere mansioni femminili soprattutto all'interno della casa, Beatrix Potter ha infranto tutte le regole, riuscendo ad introdursi in un mondo prettamente maschile, e per di più &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;guadagnandosi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; ampiamente il rispetto e l'ammirazione da parte degli uomini!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trashionista.com/images/2008/07/31/beatrixpotter.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I suoi racconti sono indirizzati ai piccoli lettori, ma piacciono molto anche ai grandi... &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Storie semplici che spingono a riflettere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Peter Rabbit è stato tradotto in ben 35 lingue, con oltre 150 milioni di copie vendute!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102); "&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 102, 102); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://oi52.tinypic.com/ajnrdx.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 102, 102); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(51, 102, 102); "&gt;...e se non lo conoscete già, vi &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;consiglio vivamente di vedere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;il film a lei ispirato... semplicemente incantevole! ... &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt; Renée Zellweger (attrice statunitense, nella parte di Beatrix Potter), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Ewan McGregor (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;scozzese, nella parte dell'editore)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;, Patricia Kerrigan (la governante scozzese) ed Emily Watson (inglese, la sua amica). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Ambientato in Inghilterra e Scozia.

Altrimenti è meglio ammorbidire un pochino il burro a mano, magari con una forchetta prima di sbatterlo con lo zucchero, o magari metterlo pochi secondi nel microonde.. ma senza farlo fondere!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;La preparazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Sbattete&lt;/span&gt; il burro con lo zucchero (io ho usato il frullatore elettrico), fino ad ottenere un impasto cremoso di colore chiaro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Separatamente&lt;/span&gt;, sbattete leggermente in una terrina le uova e aggiungetele poco alla volta (circa un uovo alla volta) all'impasto di zucchero e burro, amalgamando bene tra un'aggiunta e l'altra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Aggiungete&lt;/span&gt; metà della farina, incorporandola delicatamente a mano senza sbattere, poi il latte e la farina rimanente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;In uno stampino per la panna cotta/crème caramel inserire una pirottina di carta (vedere foto sotto) e riempirla con circa un cucchiaio dell'impasto ottenuto.

color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Nel 1200  non c'era ancora l'usanza di legare le mani... &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;handfasting stava ad indicare&lt;/span&gt; una stretta di mano.&lt;/span&gt;  Infatti nel medioevo scozzese, gli accordi si prendevano dandosi la mano... &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;un gesto che valeva più di una firma!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Normalmente il periodo di fidanzamento durava un anno e un giorno, finito il quale i 2 fidanzati potevano decidere se sposarsi oppure no.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);

color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Altrimenti si faceva una cerimonia molto simile a quella di fidanzamento, dove le promesse venivano scambiate al presente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;

il fidanzamento&lt;/span&gt;, l&lt;/span&gt;a coppia poteva decidere di sposarsi senza nè prete, nè testimoni... da soli in un bosco con &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;gli scoiattoli&lt;/span&gt; come unici invitati, e anche così, il rito veniva considerato legale. La Chiesa, comunque, preferiva che il matrimonio venisse celebrato davanti alla chiesa ( in Scozia, nel medioevo, ci si sposava davanti e non all'interno della chiesa), in presenza di un prete, e nel caso di matrimoni "clandestini", come sopra citato, i preti cercavano di convincere i neo sposi a risposarsi una seconda volta con una cerimonia nuziale tradizionale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Quando ci si sposava nella &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Scozia &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;medievale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, era per la vita... non esisteva nè il divorzio, nè seconde nozze, fino alla riforma scozzese del 1560.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Prima di questa data, marito e moglie potevano smettere di vivere insieme, insomma separarsi, ma non divorziare. Il matrimonio, comunque, poteva essere annullato per diversi motivi... sposi di età troppo giovane...&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;la ragazza con meno di 12 anni, il ragazzo meno di 14,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; oppure strettamente imparentati, o ancora, che uno dei due risultasse essere già sposato... ecc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Come dicevo sopra, non si conosce il periodo esatto in cui venne introdotto nell'handfasting, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0); "&gt;&lt;span&gt;l'usanza&lt;/span&gt; di legare le mani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; dei fidanzatini con un nastro annodato dolcemente, il quale rappresentava allegoricamente l’unione e l’impegno reciproco dei due. Usanza poi ripetuta un anno ed un giorno più tardi durante le nozze ( se avevano deciso di sposarsi), ma questa volta con un nodo più stretto, che stava ad indicare &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;l'&lt;span&gt;unione per la vita.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.witchcraftemporium.com/images/handfastarticle1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Fino a&lt;/span&gt; tutto il 1600 l'Handfasting fu riconosciuto sia dalla Chiesa che dalle Stato,&lt;/span&gt; poi successivamente solo dallo Stato, fino al 1940.

Significa letteralmente... legare le mani!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I primi esempi di questo tipo di cerimonia risalgono al 1200, e si basano su antiche tradizioni e rituali di origine celtica... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;L'Handfasting è valido a tutti gli effetti come il matrimonio con rito civile. Si fa richiesta al comune, che rilascia il Certificato di Consenso Civile alle Nozze, e poi lo si riporta al comune firmato dagli sposi, dai testimoni e dal celebrante entro tre giorni dal matrimonio, per far si che abbia validità. Molte coppie, sia del Regno Unito che dell'estero, vengono qui in Scozia per sposarsi così.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nel film Braveheart, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) e il suo amore Murron si sposarono con una cerimonia simile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le usanze del matrimonio celtico erano semplici e piene di significato. Il matrimonio si svolgeva in mezzo alla natura che era ritenuta sacra per i Celti... gli alberi, le rocce, l'acqua e il sole avevano una loro anima, e il luogo sacro per eccellenza era il bosco.

La scopa, che viene appoggiata per terra, sta a simboleggiare la casa, ed il salto, l'avvio verso una nuova vita insieme. C'è chi al posto della scopa utilizza un ramo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mwAIIPlxVT0/TE8NOX2dIhI/AAAAAAAAAcI/yJBaQgxBcRM/s320/Quaich+drinking.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Dal XV sec. è usanza brindare con il tradizionale Quaich, chiamata anche Coppa dell'Amore. E' una coppa con due manici, spesso incisa con disegni celtici. Gli sposi bevono entrambi dalla stessa coppa... la tradizione vuole che sia whisky, ma spesso si usa champagne... e per chi è astemio... addirittura l'acqua minerale!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; Il quaich (coppa) poi verrà tramandato di generazione in generazione, per portare felicità e fortuna a tutti coloro che lo useranno per brindare al proprio matrimonio. Viene usato anche per i matrimoni celebrati in chiesa e per battesimi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Durante il pranzo di nozze...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.scottish-master-of-wedding-ceremonies.co.uk/images/brides-cross-on-batik2-a.jpg" alt="Finished Bride's Cross, still green" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;La croce di San Brigida&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://oi54.tinypic.com/2vwgwp0.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;...alcune invitate intente a fare la loro croce&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;Il termine scozzese per sposa è "bride"... una parola celtica che significa letteralmente "Brigida", che è sia una dea celtica, che una veneratissima santa Irlandese.

&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Mi sento molto lusingata di essere stata scelta da due amiche blogger a partecipare alla staffetta dell'amicizia... Ringrazio dunque, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lalocandainmezzoallabrughiera.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Sonia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;, ottima scrittrice e poetessa e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lalberodeisassi.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Gabriella&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;, grande artista, bravissima a dipingere i sassi! Accolgo con vero piacere l'invito di entrambe. &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;E' tutto molto semplice... si deve rispondere ad 8 domande e poi invitare altri 10 amici blogger a fare altrettanto... Se volete partecipare, basta seguire queste semplici regole... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Ecco le domande :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;1- Quando da piccoli vi veniva chiesto cosa volevate fare da grandi, cosa rispondevate? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;2- Quali erano i vostri cartoni animati preferiti? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;3- Quali erano i vostri giochi preferiti? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;4- Quale e' stato il vostro piu' bel compleanno e perche'? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;5- Quali sono le cose che volevate assolutamente fare e non avete ancora fatto? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;6- Quale e' stata la vostra prima passione sportiva o non? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;7- Quale e' stato il vostro primo idolo musicale? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;8- Quale e' stata la cosa piu' bella chiesta ( ed eventualmente ricevuta) a Babbo Natale, Gesu' Bambino, Santa Lucia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;... e le mie risposte :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;1- Assolutamente la veterinaria... dovevo aiutare tutti gli animali bisognosi, soprattutto quelli randagi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;2- Tom e Jerry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;3- Il gioco della campana, salto della corda, ed i giochi da tavolo, tipo monopoly, cluedo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;4- Non mi viene in mente... sono un pò anti-feste comandate, preferisco quelle improvvisate, tipo un dopocena a casa tra amici, come quelli che organizza &lt;a href="http://lalocandainmezzoallabrughiera.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Sonia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; nella sua locanda...con tanto di dolcetti.&lt;br /&gt;5- Girare l'America, ma anche comprarmi un castello in Scozia, ovviamente con tanto di dolce ed amichevole fantasma...&lt;br /&gt;6- L'equitazione.&lt;br /&gt;7- Forse Rod Stewart...&lt;br /&gt;8- Un bel completo da cavallerizza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I 10 amici blogger a cui passo la staffetta (sempre se hanno tempo e voglia) sono :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://quanteunpizzicodisale.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Meb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;... &lt;/span&gt;che mi stuzzica l'appetito con le sue gustose ricette&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://susannabonaventura.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Susanna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;impossibile non appassionarsi ai suoi racconti... spesso con finale a sorpresa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://ilparadisodidaniela.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Daniela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;

Nel poco tempo libero che avevano a disposizione fecero in modo di  trasformare il Campo 60 dove risiedevano, in un'isola d'amore. Costruirono sentieri per  collegare le varie baracche, piantarono fiori, coltivarono un'orto... fecero un teatro, con un vero e proprio palcoscenico, nonché un tavolo di biliardo, sempre con l'immancabile cemento... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;Ma  soprattutto con il cemento e con qualsiasi altro materiale di scarto che  avevano a disposizione, innalzarono una deliziosa cappella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://scoziaalba.blogspot.com/2009/05/luoghi-speciali.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt;(Qui per il  post),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt; e nelle sue vicinanze, una statua di San Giorgio (santo molto popolare in Gran  Bretagna) mentre uccide il drago... Questa statua vuole simboleggiare il loro trionfo sulle difficoltà che incontrarono in questi anni. Lo fecero usando del filo spinato per lo  scheletro, che poi ricoprirono di cemento.  La base  della statua custodisce una pergamena con i nomi di tutti gli  prigionieri, ed un pò di monete Italiane. Ideatore di tutto questo fu  Domenico Chiochetti, aiutato nell'impresa dai suoi compagni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.elainemacintyre.net/images/photos/orkney/italian_chapel_stgeorge.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;Statua di San Giorgio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;In questi  2/3 anni di prigionia nacque una bellissima amicizia tra Italiani ed  isolani Scozzesi, ed una volta terminata la guerra, quando gli Italiani  ripartirono ed il campo 60 dovette essere sgombrato, gli Orcadiani  hanno fatto in modo che la cappella e la statua non venissero toccati...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;Tutt'ora esiste un comitato per salvaguardare quello che viene chiamato dagli Isolani "Il miracolo del Campo 60".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://oi52.tinypic.com/5f3ss7.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt;E' una tappa immancabile per chi si reca nelle Orcadi... e sarà difficile non commuoversi quando ci si trova in questo angolo remoto della Scozia, e vedi cosa sono riusciti a creare, gli Italiani, con la loro fede e speranza...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4530368538264998484-1833417438129784426?l=scoziaalba.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scoziaalba.blogspot.com/feeds/1833417438129784426/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4530368538264998484&amp;postID=1833417438129784426&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4530368538264998484/posts/default/1833417438129784426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4530368538264998484/posts/default/1833417438129784426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scoziaalba.blogspot.com/2010/09/lamb-holm.html' title='Lamb Holm... una piccola isola Scozzese nelle Orcadi...'/><author><name>Mariabei</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06845828171425319591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LWuf8VnPjvU/SjUIQfTUm9I/AAAAAAAAAJU/yozYyGpldcQ/S220/celwoman.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i53.tinypic.com/30j03zo_th.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530368538264998484.post-6003821715477199054</id><published>2010-09-22T12:25:00.043+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T14:45:58.653+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Luoghi con una storia da raccontare'/><title type='text'>Le Selkie delle Orkney Islands - Isole Orcadi</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);

Durante l'alta marea deve recarsi sul bagnoasciuga e versare sette lacrime nel mare. A questo punto l'uomo-selkie esce dal mare, si toglie la sua magica pelle  di foca, e va alla ricerca di questo amore "illegittimo".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Sebbene i selkie maschi spesso corteggino le donne umane, è raro che abbiano con loro delle  relazioni durature. Essi preferiscono scatenare temporali e danneggiare le navi dei cacciatori di foche, per vendicarsi di questo massacro indiscriminato!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2418/3531131879_912809dc25.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Le Isole Orcadi... forse il luogo dove i racconti, le leggende e le tradizioni antiche sono più forti rispetto al resto della Scozia... dove, un tempo, le serate invernali si trascorrevano tra famiglie ed amici riuniti davanti al focolare, ad ascoltare canti, favole e filastrocche del racconta storie... uno di quei luoghi speciali, dove è così bello farsi travolgere dalla magia!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Altri post sulle Isole Orcadi :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://scoziaalba.blogspot.com/2009/05/luoghi-speciali.html#links"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;Italian Chapel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;
