The Woodplace

 


Yesterday I overcame a decades long aversion to crafts and took part in a woodwork session with my friend Yu Leng and her daughter.

They let us loose in the workshop…

…with big saws…

….nail guns…

…big cutting thingie…

…and my bête noir…glue.


We ended up with some nice little candle holders…

…and the same number of fingers as we started with, which is a win in my book.

Return to Ronda

  The last few months have been a bit rough on the health front, so it’s been a delight to be on my travels again. First stop was glorious Ronda, staying in a hotel with it’s own cinema. A fantastic pizza was had… ….Christmas lights were admired… …a sunset revelled in… …but Ronda is all about the gorge (and bullfighting, Hemlingway and Orson Welles)… …and the amazing bridges. And a very poetic carpark.

Corbigny past and present

  Itˋs still too damn hot, but I managed a trip out to Corbigny, where there is a lovely toy shop… …interesting mediaeval bits and pieces… …fun shop signs… …a great place to drink coffee and watch the world go by… …suitably mad French cars… …and baffling street furniture… …and a chilling reminder that not that long ago, people like you and me were taken away and annihilated. Remember them, never forget, never again.
