For a change let me share with you something happening in Montpellier. As you know I'm teaching French at an advanced level to one of my student (having an other one this Friday) and so every time I look out for him any interesting article. I saw this one in the September "ça m'intèresse". See : http://www.ecotron.cnrs.fr/index.php?lang=en

Tamara Drewe and Soulboy
Last 2 films I saw. Tamara Drewe by Stephen Frears. It's a great comedy set in the writers world.
Soulboy by Shimmy Marcus. Welcome back in the 70's ! Nice story.

2 of my Grand-father's sculptures in Nottingham
Last July I brought back those 2 sculptures from Montpellier. I just kept forgetting to photograph them !

Last Day in the Lake District
Yesterday was the last day. In the morning we went to visit the Quaker Tapestry. It's the modern version of the Bayeux Tapestry. I mean as a media to tell true stories. See : http://www.quaker-tapestry.co.uk/. Then we had to do a detour to Lancaster Royal Infirmary as one of us was taken ill there the previous night. Fortunately nothing serious so we picked her up on our way down. Our last visit was for the Quarry Bank Mill. "The largest working waterwheel in Europe and lots of 'hands-on' exhibits" (from the National Trust leaflet)
All in all it has been a very enjoyable trip. Nice company. We even had reasonably good weather except for one day.

Blackwell / Sizergh
It has been pouring rain all day so I didn't take any photo ! In the morning we visited Blackwell. There is a very homely feeling in this lovely house overlooking Watersmere. See : http://www.blackwell.org.uk/
We had lunch in the National Trust restaurant of Sizergh Castle. Very interesting historically wise and a good example of a Medieval place being transformed over the years. See : http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-sizerghcastlegarden
