Virginia Estates: Hounds, Horses, Farmettes and Luxury
Southeastern Virginia, and specifically the Williamsburg area, is
steeped in the history of some of the great land barons of the colonial,
revolutionary, and civil war eras. Though the great men and women who
once lived in these historic properties are now departed, their estates
remain as a legacy to the early American traditions once practiced there.
A recent article by VirginiaBusiness.com, revealed a new trend in estate
purchasing. Many estate purchasers are relocating from California and
the Northeast to Virginia estates so they may live on larger parcels of
land with more privacy.

The Minervois, France
The Minervois is always different: plane and sea, heath and mountains, and never ending vineyards. Grapes have been cultivated in the Minervois since the age of the Gallo-Romans. Today Minervois is the most famous wine-growing area of the Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France. But there is much more to discover than wine: prehestorical grottos, countless Roman churches, the abbey of Caunes near Rieux-Minervois, beautiful villages along the Canal du Midi.??

It`s our opinion that when a tenant rents a home from a landlord their entitled to live in a home without being harassed providing that they observe the “rules and regulations” of the community, and properly maintain the home.
The landlord in turn leaves the tenant alone, doesn`t spy on the tenant,nor harass the tenant in anyway. After all the FAR “Lease Agreement” clearly specifies what can and can`t be done. We have a situation where the “Landlord” has a habit of calling the police on their tenants, they feel that a tenant pays them rent and than becomes a SLAVE to the landlord!

An Affair in Beijing [Final Chapters: Nantucket]
Chapter Fifteen
Swimming at the Country Club
And the Red House in Stockbridge
[We decided to stay an extra day in Stockbridge before driving down to Nantucket, after reconfirming our new reservations at the hotel there], drive outside of town and see the Red House where Hawthorn lived. We crossed an old bridge on the way, a green mill of some score, and a small dam of some sort]
In any case, here I was, in Stockbridge, with my new Red Lion s Inn, t-shirt, and on our way to the swimming hole; or country club, which was a fine looking establishment, and she again was proud to take me in, as she never ceased to surprise me.
