I've been sketching all the way round this trip... usual rocks and sea scapes - some interesting grottos, ruins, including Dr Fred eating rich tea biscuits laid out in the van..... crabs are featuring quite a bit and also I'm using a bit of collage to vary the medium... I couldnt do the hedgerows justice with the paints so tried instead to capture the vibrancy using Ireland National Park information leaflets for collage colour...
Finally we have made it to Paris. It was a bit of a long travel day - we decided to come by train so we could experience the full glory of British Rail or whatever it's called now which actually delivered perfectly on time... and then the Eurostar which was incredibly disappointing! All that beautiful St. Pancreas Station and the Eurostar is sited in the dungeon... overcrowded, dark, lousy facilitated space... and then the train was an hour late it felt like a long time before we got any fresh air - but eventually we wound up in gay Paree... We navigated the metro and found our airbnb gaff. A mere 70 steps to the fourth floor on a rather lovely winding wooden staircase to a very nice roof top flat which is comfortable and gives a view across a lovely Courtyard with some obviously much posher flats. It's located really centrally about two minutes away from the Opera Garnier so a very good location for getting everywhere...
Loving these... the one of Dr Fred especially :) xx
