it maes loves to play the piano she's 106 years old and still plays for at least 4 hours every day she cannot imagine life without her beloved instrument. through playing the piano has a physical quality yes you're touching it caressing it it makes a difference whether your hammering the key. softly pressing with your fingertips. colette was born into a french upper middle class family in 1914. she started learning the piano at the age of 5. even as a child music helped her escape her strict upbringing and enter her own carefree

world. there because. my mother was a very stern old heart of a woman who didn't really like children unlike my grandmother but i was always scared of getting smacked a mistake sight supposedly made although i never knew what i had done wrong though playing the piano always offered me some comfort. for. when she was 15 attended the paris school of music and later worked as a piano teacher. she's been playing the piano for over a century now but she didn't publish her 1st album until she reached the age of 84 . her son fabrice mays supports his mother. and father of c. . my mother went through a lot of tough times in her life like many others. she called but once she sat down

at the piano she lost herself in the world of music. it gave her positive energy strength and motivation to yes the city. at the age of 106 still feels pretty agile. and peculiarly old. rascal still i think it's a question of mindset my mother had many good qualities but mentally speaking she was always told that staying young isn't a question of a church yet and that neither your young and or your not or that you were that. despite her age colette mays is still highly active. she says being passionate is key. for a fast looked at the knife is all about staying passionate and curious that you

extruding places in europe that you shouldn't miss if you like to copy them and view us just go to our website for all didn't details when i go hiking i get hangry very quickly so i usually take them and which is with me bread butter cheese that's it's well some people are a bit more ambitious than i am they like to cook a creek or sneak out in the wilds dead you would normally only find a very fancy restaurant i would be much too lazy to go to all that effort but mark them or showed us how it's. it's still early morning when marcus semma heads up into the mountains this time for a new adventure in the alps the very an extreme athlete loves lonely trails.

but once he's reached the mountain top he's not content with a simple snack he treats himself to some homemade muesli with fresh blueberries. if not even in the mountains is a real pleasure especially when you have fresh ingredients and it's like fresh farmers. are all made mostly where you know exactly what's in it you need energy for mountaineering and that's why i think you should prepare as much of your own food as possible marcus them as a trained cook who used to work in munich's high class restaurants he always liked to take time off for traveling around the world one day he decided to combine his 2 major passions in life cooking and adventuring now he publishes books on a cool may outdoor cuisine and today against this amazing backdrop he's preparing freshwater civic chase a starter followed by venice insulting baka with forrest mushroom risotto he's

brought everything he needs with him. inside being held in iraq unpacked the char it was freshly caught this it only keep for one day so hot here's my saddle of venison. i froze it earlier you know how it will keep for about one day for my benefit will be fully defrosted. told to marcus fine dining on a mountaintop is an affordable luxury he starts by filling the chalk then marinating it in lemon and finally adding a mango onion ginger chilli coriander and peanuts to protests of each cruise national dish. then marcus needs to boil water for the main course. yet how do you. the engine only got snow available up here. ice would be better as a contains us air. that would need less gas to melt liter of water. he's only got a limited amount of cooking gas with him so he's got to use it wisely.

he can't predict how long the cried forrest mushroom and rice will need to boil as that depends on the altitude. to hire a car i'm the lower the air pressure highest that means my broth boils on a far lower temperature and in extreme cases there 8000 meters of water boils i just 60 degrees celsius the problem there is some food doesn't cut properly today he says now to do 1700 meters so preparing the result isn't an issue cooking times for the venison wrapped in satan have also depend on the out of there with enough patience mountaineers could prepare meat even in the himalayas and the south and baka looks cool most is good isn't a 5 star restaurant movement funding in the mountains isn't always as easy as it looked today. but it's certainly fun trying new things by combining the things

you've previously learned in life but time for it is that marcus gets busy grinding coffee to make a tiramisu without having tricity to whisk eggs he simply dips espressos the biscuits in moscow. this mean for always trying to find the essentials and recipes. that way anyone can recreate them outdoors. and me. after this rich 3 course many it's time to burn off some calories and as the sun begins to set marcus erect his one man tent he treats himself to some ginger tea while watching the sunset. disengaged. yes we're in a star studded restaurant tonight with the 1000000 stars hotel it's going to be a beautiful starry night no luxury hotel to offer that. that's the real luxury but preparing your own delicious food outside and building your own restaurant patio

bustin con. chef marcus center really knows how to enjoy life smelly flavors in the great outdoors. so is a very hot material we all know that spanish shots of man who are castro can make it appear quite soft elastic and flexible we took a look over the skull shoulder while he was hard at work in his workshop. soft as butter. pierced like skin. and folded like cloth. these are sculptures by spanish artist jose manuel castro. cars all his works and stone. my relationship to stones isn't really physical. it's magical.

because i feel the stones in a very special way. as if they obeyed me. and we had a kind of relationship like a friendship. there. was a man well castro trained as a stonemason and sculptor in the 1980 s. . become terrorists and northwestern spain it is known as one of the country's best schools for stone masonry. that. culture has a profound relationship with stone. there's the ranging from the megalithic monuments to cathedrals. there all the work i do with stone is based on this close relationship you me and. i see it is something living. the sculptor draws inspiration from the collision countryside and whether being

coastline. 'd here went on water the forces of nature work the stone and create bizarre shapes. jose manuel castro's workshop is in the village a village issue so near the atlantic coast. here he chisels grinds and sands out the smooth flowing surfaces of his stone sculptures with power tools. as well as painstakingly by hand. he gives the stone a finishing patina with ferric chloride at high temperatures. we've moved what i've always been good at drawing and i made models for a long time. the techniques are a help. but you also need a good imagination. but few of his neighbors know what he does for a living and that some of his sculptures have been exhibited around the world like

this work in granite titled union a parrot or conspicuous union. or works combined with wood. as well as his courts. or spikes sculptures. castro often works with more kenya a black stone commonly found in the region. its main quality is that you can give the stone an incredible shine. like a mirror is 3rd maybe lucky if that's because it is so hard. to meet they. need to be so when you polish the stone you don't even rub off the top layer of fine particles but in the ring that ash but if you hear that up here that are all

true but if you were i mean we freenet. he's often drawn to the rugged coast. this is where he comes to wind down after a long hard days at work. i don't scold because i find it relaxing because i feel the urge to do this but it's exhausting physically taxing and requires a lot of dedication but whenever i completed demanding project i always feel satisfied. jose manuel castro an artist who simply cannot withstand the magical attraction of stones. and that's all we have time for today but don't forget to follow us on social media or more like i report until we meet again from almost elaine thanks for watching and for you again soon.
