Bonjour Tour le Monde! ( I think that means '"hello everyone").
I´m adding some more photos of Toulouse - it was really fabby.

ps: In my defense re the last blog - I would definately have made better cassoulet - the meat vs haricot bean distribution was disproportionate in the one that I had the other night. ie: not enough sausage (thanks Claire! - you´ll know what I mean).

Hullo!! We did a big fat trip a wee while ago covering Bonnie Scotland (our home), France, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and China.

Real French Jumpers
Hanging for sale in Grouchos.
Groucho´s amazing vintage store
This store is what you always hoped Flip would be and never was, and what you always hope Armstrongs is going to be but never is. Ie, magical and exciting (from a ladies perspective) with loads of good gear.
Big Boy of Toulouse
Plaster cast of Jean Pierre Mazas who lived 1847 - 1901. He was 7 foot 2 and had size 18 feet (omigod!). We saw this in the old Toulouse Museum in the old quarter.
Stained glass in St Etienne
In the cathedral of St Etienne. NB: Not the electro pop group of the late eighties /early nineties.
Ten points.........
.............if you can guess what this is...?
Abattoir Modern Art gallery
Honestly - that´s the name of the gallery. It was really funky and not a dead animal in sight. This piece is set in the spacious gardens on the river bank and is by an artist called Fernand Leger.
Place du Capitole
Main Square in Toulouse. Evry morning they have a fabulous market. We bought a jar of organic apricots in honey. JOE: We´re bringing them home for you along with the lamb pate!!!!
Athena
This shot is for my interview pack for my job as an Athena photographer. (OK, maybe not then!) You´ll have noticed that I have now discovered the Black and White button on the camera.
