The Progression of Spring
The first spring flowers started to appear about a month ago, and we have seen a steady stream of blooms since. The most surprising thing for me has been watching the progression of the flowers.
The Rooftops of Lyon
Part of Lyon is built on a steep slope. This provides great opportunities to look out over the rooftops and across the city below.
Bee Nesting Boxes in Parc de la Tête d'Or
For a while now, the idea of one day keeping bees has been growing in my mind. So, when I caught a passing glimpse of some bee hives in a corner of Parc de la Tête d’Or, I was keen to go back for a closer look.
Wattle at the Market
Most mornings, a market sets up along the Saône River. The market hosts an array of fresh produce, and right at one end there is a flower stall. I was quite surprised to see buckets of what appear to be wattle at the flower stall this week.
First Signs of Spring
This weekend has brought the first signs of spring in Lyon.
Early Mornings in the City
One of my favourite times to be out and about in a large city is the early morning, as the city slowly comes to life, and before the usual mass of people arrive.
Lyon's Bridges
The bridges in Lyon are not only practical, they are also beautiful. They have been built at different times thoughout the city’s history, and each has its own unique character.
French Green Lentils
Lentils feature fairly regularly in our meals, and last week I picked up a bag of French green lentils at the supermarket. I haven’t used French green lentils before, but they seemed to be the common variety on the shelves.
Remembering to Look Up
Lyon is an old city. The city centre is dominated by narrow streets flanked by beautiful old buildings complete with iconic french shutters on the windows.
Westonbirt Arboretum
We enjoyed a walk in Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury, UK. The Arboretum has wide paths and open spaces amongst the trees.
