If you like good things…

Thanks for listening! Hope the the cake turned out well. I’m off to share this for a spot of shameless self promotion

Tell a lie, just past a women cleaning the number on her front door with a piece of cloth on the end of a long-handled paint brush while two men discuss whether the café in the village has gone downhill a bit since the new owners took over - this is a white-knuckle experience by the usual standards

I think this might be the most boring street in town, I can’t imagine anything interesting happening here, ever

The odds on this little Santa seeing a second Christmas outside the flats are getting shorter every day

607. Je me souviens de la languette en caoutchouc qui traînait à l’arrière des voitures et qui était censée disperser l'électricité statique et éliminer nausées et décharges électriques.

613. Je me souviens des œufs durs et de la salière posés sur le zinc dans les cafés.

Thanks 🙏

Palais des Beaux Arts in Lille: Thought this was a contemporary critique of selfie culture but it's a 16th century monument to René of Chalon, Prince of Orange of course. Silly me.

Pulled up by an old red phone box in a country lane - all conkers and dry stone walls. A man in a knackered Land Rover Defender stops and winds down his window, "Eyup, love. Do you know where t'church is?" I Feel like I’m on Sunday teatime TV in 1995 with Wicksy out of Eastenders
