On my wish list

This Perfect VW  - in of all things a BBQ shop. Not just any old BBQ shop, but one that Catherine took us to in Versailles. So neatly covered in leather...and the bike...and the luggage. I want one.

Had to put these two in - Paris isn't Paris without the Eiffel Tower


A still life in a shop window - such style


One for the Aussies


....and three dogs. Waiting,waiting

Catching up on a few missed photos from Paris

So lovely - but too much to carry back, considering what we already have


In the jewellery exhibition I visited

Might try this at Christmas some time

More cheeky monkeys

Dread to think how much this weighs - solid stone
DEFINITELY too heavy

Once more to The Loire, my friends

Fog in the garden at our house


A beautiful flower shop in Angers


Two dog night

Here are cousin Ian's two dogs in Jersey. What fine girls they are.
It has been a lot more than a two dog night recently. I have just had a report that Heathrow is completely closed with people sleeping on the floor and -8ºC tonight. The joys of Christmas travel. Here we have a balmy 2ºC with the forecast of a warm 8ºC tomorrow. No doubt that will not last.


For those of you who don't know how many dogs to have on your bed in cold weather, I would like to think the ratio is one dog to every two degrees below freezing.
DM tells me that the traditional Aboriginal amount of dogs is three, which means it is rather nippy.
Hence the band name from the seventies "Three dog Night" for any of you that were into music at that time.
