I'm big fan of Jane Austen ( and we both alike, cos prefer Persuasion haha). I just can't resist  Captain Wentworth's charm, hehehe.

Okay.. okay, back to the postcard. this postcard made by Royal Mail in 21 February 2013 to celebrated 200 years of Jane Austen's book. And the stamp designed by Webb & Webb Design Limited featuring illustration by Angela Barrett, printed by Pureprint group. In this series also made other stamps/ postcard from other books by Austen, Persuasion, Emma, Mansfield Park, Sense & Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey.

I just hope if I can't get all of it maybe someone would send me the Persuasion one, please?? hehe.

Higher Bokhampton is the bithplace for Thomas Hardy, novelist from UK ( one of my favorite, haha). He born here on 2 June 1840 and died 11 January 1928. In this home he wrote Under The Greeenwood Tree ( 1872) and Far from The Madding Crowd (1874), another from his novel that maybe very famous are Tess of d' Urbervilles, The Poor Man and The Lady, Desperate Remedies, A Pair of Blue Eyes, The Return of The Native etc. But for me my favorite are Two on a Tower and The Mayor of Casterbridge. I really adore his written, some romance with tragical ending, hehe. That's really my thing :D.

By the way the cottage located in Dorset county and the home right now become tourist spot and everyday open from 11.00 - 17.00. Wish one day I can visit there :).

The castle administered by Loket castle foundation in 1993 and nowadays become national museums. The castle is one of the oldest and most valuable in Czech. every year Czech national opera held an opera festival in an outdoor amphiteather with the castle at the background.

Timber framing are method of building with heavy timbers rather than lumber,. Half timbered is a lattice of panels filled with a non loadbearing material infill of brick noggin or wattle andaud ( or similar methods), the frame is often exposed on the outside of the building. Usually the German fachwerkhaus has a foundation of stone or sometimes brick up to several feet and then the timber frame work  supports an irregular wodden sill. The benefits of the construction are : rapidly erected, lend itself well to prefabrication, lends well to be pre- fitting the frame, the frame can be encased, it can be tailored to suits customer, it can use recycled etc. But this also have disadvantage such us, slanting, poor prevention of cappilary movement of water, eaves that are too narrow or non- existent, too much exterior detailing that does not allow adequate rainwater run- off, noise from footsteps, wood burn etc.

So with all the list above, maybe it's not good to build that kind of home in indonesia, hehe. 

Many thank you Jutta for this postcard!!!
