1/2 Came upon this, this morning.
I’ve designed & made many things for my son over the years, from bicycles to longboards, but I never got around to making this #louge #sled for the mountains.
Based on car leaf springs & short patinette skis, it can be made size adjustable & disassemble quickly..

There’s just one foodstuff that my greedy Franglais family won’t touch with a barge pole (that god). Pity the same can’t be said for the HP Sauce.

Reposting this photo in honour of my dear friend Patrick, who died 2yrs ago. Kind & with a ridiculous sense of hour, who even in hospice, when he could hardly speak we’d find ourselves curled up in tears of laughter.
I took this in May when staying at his family house..👇

A very rare moment at the Tate Britain in opening hours.
I fully expected a pair of David Lynch twins to suddenly appear at the end of the passageway.

After spending 25yrs of my youth living in London, I ditched the tourist trial to discover the real McCoy.
The deprived backwaters of Tower Hamlets; a stark contrast against the City of London.

Probably the best photo I took in our short voyage à Londres.
Play of reflection on a shop window display

Experimenting with images last night, this one seemed to pay homage to those poor unfortunates whose lives have been obliterated & maimed by bastards with bombs, who have nothing but thirst for greed.
Mme de B found it uncomfortable; it’s done its job, raise your voice

On Tuesday I found a Zombie lair; an antonym to the YMCA (perhaps called the DPAA (Dead Person’s Anti-Christ Association)!

If you’re one of those ppl who’s ticking off ´Wonders of the World’ on a bucket list, the Berck-sur-Mer Rencontres Internationales de Cerfs-Volants ought to be high on it. Spectacular.
Archive ‘could do better’ photos; next time
⚠️ Book accommodation early.
