My head is in the clouds…always…

This time I agree, my head is in the clouds…

an infusion of colours and aromas

Parc Frank Delmas is simply my favorite place in La Rochelle, it has been made to be consumed by its visitors as opposed to just admired as it is too often the case with parks in France. The children are free to kick a ball, climb trees, no one fears to be told off for touching a plant. A pure blast of sensations. I am never tired of visiting this place, running through its paths, laying in the grass, throwing boomerangs or whatever accessories Ben Ouai and Ananas would have damped in my hand bag. Old folks sit and chat hidden behind secluding bushes of rosemary. As the summer draws to an end we can even sample figs, pears, almonds… the sea in the meantime is the perfect side dish in the background…just beautiful!

Belem, Michaelle Jean, Segolene and aliens wearing thongs…

It was caused for celebration yesterday in La Rochelle, it has been nothing less than 400 years since the first settlers made their way to Canada, “the New World”. Celebrations have been going on for a week here but yesterday was marked by the visit of Michaelle Jean, Segolene amongst other members of the French government, multi coloured aliens, the impessive Belem passed through the two towers for the first time in history and finally the departure of La Grande Traversee in an attempt to follow the trails of Samuel de Champlain eta: 24th June in Quebec…

yes another bird…

It had been a while since my last bird delivery…as I waited in the car today while Ben Ouai went for his weekly athletic class I finished a couple of sketches.
