We are getting giddy about our up and coming trip to Australia... but in the meantime all sorts is happening - lots of overdue family visiting and Dr Fred and a couple of pals played a charity gig at The Studio in Hartlepool - helping to raise money for the local foodbank. Including Cosmic Egg there were 12 very varied performers all giving up their time for free and altogether they raised £1000 - it was an excellent days entertainment all for donations.
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...
