    A walk along the Seine in Marnay Sur Seine near Le Prieuré from la Maison Verte & La Jardin Botanique. The Abbey of Saint-Denis, the Roman church built in the XII by the monks of is half-ruined at the end of the wars of religion. In the seventeenth century, the reconstruction of the vaults and the building of the tower gave it its present appearance. Originally, the church was decorated with paintings that were whitewashed in the eighteenth century, according to the religious instruction of the time. Le Prieuré has a wooden children's playground was built by a NZer, Sam who also honed some of the beams for Notre Dames restoration.Leia mais

On my cycle route along the Seine, so no beer just another lovely sign, a sewing machine like my Nan's & geraniums Mum style. A last brocante...a kilo of locally made pigments!Leia mais

    28 de agosto de 2025, França ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Lunch for the village attended by 150 people at the home of a couple who have a decorative arts shop in Paris. The menu started with a selection of 50+ salads including those brought by guests, lamb on a spit with 5 different potato dishes and ratatouille, then 2 tables of desserts and cheese. And champagne...or an array of wines etc. Impressive end of summer event and nice to meet friends again. From a sunny & busy indigo day in my outdoor studio at La Maison Verte
    Early evening invitation to view the Claude Domec art collection. His works in wax+pigment followed no particular style, but many have Marnay nuances some held in Dijon Museum. Saturday evening the cafe was closed so Nicole (who owns a fashion shop in nearby Provins) and her husband invited all the Saturday night cafe crew to her place for music, food and wine in her lovely garden. A quick stroll along the Soak at Jardin Botanique, and Rue du Four to the Seine.    Leia mais

    Visits to some favourite Marais, Paris galleries and Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges. In photos: first stop Maria Wettergren- Hanne Friis, Margrethe Odgaard 'FOLD Unfold', then Suzan Frecon at David Zwirnir; Norbert Prangenberg at Karsten Greve & Georgia Russell 'The sea around us' at Karsten Greve paint + organza.
    During a late morning walking pause in a beautiful Rue de Turenne Marais garden I noticed a steady stream of people stopping at the entrance to take a photo and walk on without even stepping into the garden. Just a 30 second photo pause. A mystery, but I decided to follow suit and take a photo from the entrance.    Leia mais

    Revd Hawker buried more than 40 mariners from the shipwreck Caledonia of Arbroath, 1843 in the graveyard.
    His hut was a sanctuary from the elements where he wrote much of his poetry. Ollie in the hut enjoying the view. Some of John's Harris relatives are also buried in the cemetery.    Leia mais
