A Parisian Itch

I have an itch, a Parisian itch, which shows no sign of abating.

Although it is a City I know well, I would like to linger longer in Montmartre.

As is so often in City's, we dash through the recommended 'must sees'.

Montmartre, with it's musicians and artists in the square, the morning hustle 

and bustle and the smell of croissants and fresh coffee, the magnificent architecture and overlooking it all the beautiful Sacre Couer. 

As night falls the energy grows and the lights just make it so magical. 

So many colourful characters too, mesmerising, just grab a coffee and people 

watch to your hearts content!

Looking on airbnb I found some really small sweet pied a terres, from as little as £27.00 

per night right in the heart of Montmartre. 

 

Montmartre, I will be back!
What areas of Paris are your favourites - would love to hear!

Remembrance Sunday

In November the UK remembers all those who lost their lives in the 

two World Wars and subsequent conflicts

(on the Sunday closest to the 11th of November).

It is also a time to remember ALL affected by conflict and unrest.

11th of November is Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Poppy Day.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 1918 the guns of the First World War fell silent after four years.

I wanted to share this picture which I took on holiday in Scotland in September.

The Commando Memorial is near Spean Bridge Village

 and is one of  Scotland's best-known monuments - a War Memorial,

 but also a tourist attraction - visit, wander, gather thoughts and take in the 
amazing views of Ben Nevis.
