Merliz World

Welcome to Merliz World – this is reality not fantasy – but a reality from which fantasies seem to emerge. Anyone who has walked the summer streets of Carcassonne, Glastonbury and met the kaleidoscope of artists, musicians and travelers who gather there will understand how there can still be real magic in the world of cars, phones and digital living.

In the quiet corners that Merliz selects can be found the antidote to the virtual world, where the senses can reach out and expand to enhance true perception and provide genuine experiences which can be stored away as precious memories or shared with those we love. A place once found and treasured can be revisited with friends, lovers, children or alone.

Here the Merliz shares with you some of the places which are special to her and her seekers and urges you to visit them yourself. Try to go at times when crowds will not blot out the atmosphere and try to make your own journeys of exploration with an open mind… who knows what you will see or who you will meet. Forgive the Merliz her fondness for Britain, which comes from her childhood adventures. Your journey starts on your own doorway… and a voyage of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

For those of you who cannot travel or who cannot reach the places here, then enjoy the images and the knowledge that these places really exist and are not part of some film set – each has a real history, sometimes spanning the centuries, and each has its own physical impact. But don’t be disappointed, because you can still seek and find your own corners of Merliz World in your home town….. perhaps in the woods and streams nearby.. perhaps in the faded remnant of the past… perhaps you can find the place which represents the “soul of the city”- a place of calm which existed at the heart of every human settlement.

Wherever you live, wherever you are, may you find the magic in the world around you and start to see things as the Merliz does!
