I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Finally…

 

A couple of things which didn’t fit/weren’t terribly relevant but which I thought I would share.

Maybe you’re already familiar with this book, The Little Prince?

I thought that you might be as intrigued as I was by a random page in Basque.

I wondered too, what you thought of this contemporary artwork in one of the niches outside the Basilica of St Mary of the Chorus?  Though I noted the artist at the time (I think he’s Irish) I can’t seem to track that information down right now.  Sorry!

Finally – finally – how about this nativity tableau in a San Sebastian park?  It seems as though we didn’t follow the story in order but hopefully, you know it well enough to work it out Winking smile

I was worried about two aspects of this scene – firstly, there seemed to be no baby.  Secondly, that angel, hanging in the tree?

Good to see someone thought to put on some food.

How interesting that here, the Virgin Mary is wearing pink.

I’ll leave you with the scent of springtime and an armful of Mimosa.

We all try and catch the coat-tails of the famous and the Little Prince chap's family have some connection to a Chateau along the road from Bergerac that they are pleased to associate themselves with. We look up to the building when eating a Pizza at The DouDou !
Where else should an angel be other than in a tree? These guys have wings....Before Baby Pink: After Baby Blue !

Le Petit Prince...I remember ready this book when I was very young in French:
C'est le temps que tu as perdue pour ta rose qui fait que ta rose est si importante.

Thanks for the memory!

The gleam in the donkey's eye makes me think he knows where the baby is.
