Marseille 2

I work and I work!! But is it really work when you love it? I'm in another city being an Intrepid Fabric Hunter, and Brodeuse.

Step 1: Research!
I had no time to plan before coming here so after a couple of days getting over the flights (all late and chaotic), I got on to it. It should have been easy - go to marché de la Plaine on the correct days and all the fabrics will be there. BUT this is the area of Marseille that has been closed down. Eeek, I will have do lots more work:

Downstairs there was also lots of work going on!

I am also working on some new embroideries. This is my new work space - just stitching and watching the world go by outside my windows.

The parking here is definitely bump style. Just back up until you bump, forward until you bump, and repeat as long as it takes.

 More fun on the street - park in middle of street, throw boxes as fast as poss, and drive away when the people stuck behind get too loud.

 


And sometimes it does rain.

Love this place.
Tchao!

Marseille!!

Bonjour. I've finally made it to Marseille. I love it. Here's a quick look around so far. First up the iconic Notre Dame de la Garde keeping watch over the city. 

The weather is mild, mid 20s most days, and mainly sunny.

Marseille is on the coast, so lots of sailing going on here, and a bit of posing!

This rubbish bin has the best view:

And it is also the city of graffiti...

And some very peaceful places:

I've met a few new wines:

And one of the local foods, les panisses (chickpea fries), yay Gluten Free!







And of course we have all the coffees ...

Tchao!
