George Clarke explores the extraordinary world of small builds, where people turn tiny spaces into the most incredible places to live, work and play. He even tries making one of his own.
George Clarke, Amazing Spaces, Chanel 4 TV
It would seem tiny living is catching on. I have not viewed this program which was kindly brought to my attention by Jenny. Those in Britain, and possible elsewhere in the world, will be able to watch the first, in a series of programs, streamed on the Internet. It is 47 mins long and it will be available to watch for a further 27 days.
The next in the series is on Tuesday 30th October at 8.00 pm GMT Chanel 4.
George meets a teacher building a bolt-hole in the Lake District, the community living in shipping containers in Hackney, and an architect who has put his kitchen on the roof of his house.
You can tell I am rather interested in tiny living.
Drawing together these two images is a thread of skill and craftsmanship. There is almost a sense of romance around the ancient hand trades. Such as Cooperage, dry stone walling and the like. And in the painting of the Wendy House and the tended vegetable plot is demonstrated equally an ancient skill and craftsmanship. Though not recognized as a trade. Grand-parentage!
This is in gratitude for those I have spent time with these past two days. I bow to what you all have done, are doing and will no doubt continue to do. Getting on and caring. Sacrificing retirement years, health and more. No romance, lots of love and devotion. Satisfaction, little recognition.
Thanks to Walter for his comment on this post which included this translation of the quote by Hippocrates, the Greek Father of Medicine:
Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile
Usually translated as:
[The] art is long,
life is short,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment dangerous,
judgment difficult.
A pause now, for thought…..

This post has been modified on 3rd August. The Hippocratic Oath and the quote above, while related, are not the same thing. It would seem….
Long time readers may remember the post Cat and Moose in which Simon featured. He is still the happy cat he was two years ago, and remarkably non-vocal too.
Photo note: To get a sharp image of a cat after, or during, a grooming session is almost impossible. This is the best I could do.
