Stained Glass Metro
Some metro stations are prettier than others.
2.1 – Braving IKEA on a Saturday
We brave IKEA and Leroy Merlin on a Saturday to check our choices and to see the latest changes to the catalogues.
Winter Daffodils
Daffodils! In the middle of January!
Mounted Police in the Park
The mounted police drew a small crowd of onlookers as they tried to encourage their horses to walk a banner.
La Roseraie
The rose garden (la roseraie) in the Parc de la Tête d’Or has an abundance of flowers at the moment. For a lot of the year it sits there quietly, unadorned, in shades of green.
Bee Hotel
Our nearby park has a bee hotel. This structure, filled with drilled logs, hollow sticks and dried mud, provides a home for native bees.
A Little Coffee
This is a fairly familiar scene, especially as the weather warms up; people dotted around restaurant terraces to have a quick coffee, or to linger a little and watch life pass in the square.
