Versailles Water Fountains – Paris Highlights

Watch the mirror fountain perform in Paris’ grand Versailles gardens.

Another Street Vacuum

Having wondered if Brussels alone used street vacuums, I spotted another. This time in Dijon, France.

Lift in the Louvre – Paris Distractions

Surrounded by the galleries, collections, and crowds of Paris’s Louvre I got distracted. The central lift in the glass covered courtyard is great.

Arc de Triomphe – Paris Highlights

Another highlight from our trip to Paris, France, the Arc de Triomphe.

Musée de l'Orangerie – Paris Highlights

Speaking with a French accent – OS X say

It happens that the OS X voice Thomas is designed for the French language. Let’s have some fun! And then let’s do something useful.

Roman Baths – Bath

What visit to Bath would be complete without visiting the Roman Baths?

Sarracenia and Bee

This evening we watched a bee being eaten by a sarracenia. A sarracenia is a carnivorous plant and one sits on our kitchen table to help keep down the number of flies.

Carnivorous Plant Eating a Bee

Until today we have been wondering how effective the carnivorous plant was at trapping flies. The number of flies has dwindled to almost zero and the plant seems to be thriving, if growth is any indicator.

St Michaels – Bath

St Michaels has clearly moved with the times. Inside the walls are crisp, clean, and the upper level is a delight. The walkway from staircase to the church offices is a delightful mixture of wooden railings with a glass floor.
