We happened on a place called Big Fork... and yes it had a big fork stood in the middle of the shopping mall, it was hosting an Arts Festival so we decided to stop and have a gander. there was loads of great stuff, paintings, jewelry, photographs, ceramics - not much textile but these were my favourites - wildlife sculptures made from driftwood and discarded , found materials...some of them were almost life size
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...
