Action !!! Or a rough approximation.

We've been back to England for a three week respite holiday: from the noise and the bustle of Paris. Yes, we had a lovely time , thank you.
We saw family and REALLY OLD friends and in the final week, once normal cloudy weather conditions returned, we did lots of gardening. The earth was as hard as concrete and we had no rain to speak of during our stay but copious amounts of water from a watering can (we have a hosepipe ban) eventually softened the ground. Plants revived during our stay, unfurled new leaves and reached out delicate tendrils but The Remote Gardener is now in charge again and I fear for their wellbeing.



Back in Paris and straight away, it's all go ! In a very cool sort of way, that is.

They are making a film at the top of our street today, starring one of the blokes from Les Choristes, François Berléand. I hung around for half an hour and as you can see, tension was running high. It involved a car, lots of traffic cones and fiddling about but very little excitement. I might pop out this afternoon to see how things develop.
