Where the Mustard Comes From – Dijon
We had passed through Dijon a few times on the train. Our train line from Paris to Lyon passes through this notable and grand city.
Butter Santa and the Aftermath of the New Year
I noticed with child like delight figures moulded from butter in the supermarket. Silly novelty items that appeared weeks before Christmas. They have since vanished. We did not buy one but I did take a photo.
One O'Clock Gun at Edinburgh Castle
See the one o’clock gun being fired in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. A slow motion replay is included.
Bristol
We visited Bristol to see the ss Great Britain. A steel hulled steam ship designed by Brunel. The city of Bristol itself was no less appealing.
Street Art in Clermont-Ferrand
We did not have to walk far from the train station to realise Clermont-Ferrand is the home to some talented street artists.
Clermont-Ferrand
Our initial impressions of Clermont-Ferrand were not overwhelming. As the double-barrelled name suggests, the city is a combination of two centres: Clermont and Montferrand. They are surprisingly distinct locations.
Returning the Sony
I never felt comfortable with the Sony. It had progress bars after taking a photo. I was never sure how long a photo would take and how long I would have to wait until I could take the next photo.
Notre-Dame des Malades
Short film of Notre-Dame des Malades in Vichy, France.
A Lick of Paint
Lyon loves murals. There are tens of beautifully painted walls and buildings around the city. Books are published listing the various murals and where to go to see them. The murals are maintained, refreshed, and growing in number.
E-Ink Price Tags
I have fallen in love with electronic paper since getting a Kindle; so seeing this technology slowly appear elsewhere was a treat.
