Travel: Shugborough Hall

EN: Hi everyone! Today I would like to share some photos from The Great British Food Festival at Shugborough Hall, which we attended last Sunday. It was a perfect family day-out, with lots of British favourites, live music and cooking master classes. 
But it wasn't only about food. Shugborough Hall used to be a private house, but is now open for visitors. Its story started back in 1864 and it's still in use today. 

RU: В прошлое воскресенье мы побывали на фестивале еды в граффстве Стаффордшир. Только оказавшись на месте, я поняла, в какое потрясающее место я попала! Сперва скажу, что мероприятие проходило на территории жилого поместья. Перед домом (о котором немного позже) на поле кругом были расставлены палатки, там же была поставлена сцена для живой музыки и аттракционы для детей. Приехали мы, конечно, за едой, поддержать местного производителя, полакомиться свежей выпечкой, прикупить сочных овощей и фруктов, сыров, вин и т.д.  На завтрак мы отправились в палатку 'Винтажной чайной церемонии', отведали традиционных сконов с кремом и джемом и черного чая с молоком. Чудесная погода дала возможность Катюше побегать и поваляться на траве, а мы в свою очередь не пропустили ни одной дегустации и значительно опустошили кошелек :) 






RU:После обеда солнце стало еще ярче и мы решили укрыться от него в стенах дома. Желающих окунуться в историю поместья оказалось не так много, а зря :)) Я попробую изложить её вкратце.  История этого поместья начинается в далеком 1624 г.. Но грандиозный размах строительства поместья произошел благодаря правнуку первого владельца этих замель - Джорджу Энсону. Этот молодой человек пошел служить во флот в возрасте 14 лет, его головокружительная карьера принесла ему звание Адмирала и почет, уважение, богатство его семье. Прочитать о кругосветом плавании можно здесь. Я лишь приведу цитату о его вознаграждении за 'успешное плавание' /захват в 1740 г. :

 Адмирал Энсон получил 3/8 от общей суммы добычи, которая по некоторым оценкам достигала суммы в 91000 фунтов стерлингов. Зарплата же за всё почти четырёхлетнее плавание составила всего 719 фунтов стерлингов. Простые матросы получили вознаграждение в 300 фунтов, что составляло их заработок примерно за 20 лет.

К сожалению, один из его потомков оказался азартным игроком, который любил жить на широкую ногу. Вечеринки, проигрыши и немыслимые расходы привели его к краху; дом выставили на аукцион. Сыновья этого графа приложили все усилия, чтобы сохранить дом; были взяты огромные кредиты, колоссально был сокращен бюджет на проживание, привлечены инвесторы. Дом был сохранен и пeредан наследникам уже без долгов. 

В 1960 Шагборо перешло в наследство пятому графу - Патрику Личьфилду. Он проходил обучение в одной из самых прeстижных школ для мальчиков Harrow (где, кстати, учился Черчилль). Но видным политическим деятелем он не стал, а стал фотографом. Может, и звучит нелепо, но свой фотобизнес он начал еще в школе - фотографировал своих обеспеченных сверстников и продавал им их портреты за 9 пенни, когда городской фотограф просил 30 пенни за фото. В его профессиональном портфолио много фото королевской семьи. К слову, он двоюродный брат нынешней королевы и он был официальным фотографом на свадьбе Чарльза и Дианы. Много фотосъемок проходило и в этом самом поместье, которые были не раз напечатаны в VOGUE и других модных изданиях. 

Сейчас поместье открыто для публики, календарь мероприятий расписан на год вперед. Оставшись под большим впечатлением от нашей поездки , я с удовольствием вернусь сюда вновь.

So, if a person feels that they "got gipped" with Windows 8, what makes them think that MS is going to get it right the second time around And why not just fix the problem with Windows 8.2 instead of tossing it and releasing Windows 9.
