|
|
Anyone interested in an informal get together in Paris in early November? I know Erin and Phil are going to be there for their anniversary. mountaingirl6co will be in Paris for a few days (solo, I believe).
We can maybe meet some of our Parisian C&Zers. It would be fun to see Clotilde again. I met her in San Francisco at her book signing. I'd like to meet Maxence as well. Madame Shawshank will be happy to hear that more of us are meeting face-to-face.
Debbie - will you be back from Croatia?
Tom (the hubby) and I are arriving on October 31 and will depart on Nov 13. _________________ "A man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry." |

As Paris is only a trainride away I might hop over as well - work permiting ofcourse!
I just can't be sure yet - do make your plans and I'll see if I can catch up with you guys, and Erin, maybe we'll meet in Paris then, instead of NY! (oh, and Erin,you might want to keep an eye out for your mailman shortly... ) |

swan, I hope we can pull this together. I can't wait to see those long eyelashes - will have them fluttering to catch a prince. I think David is finding a perfect one for you.......... _________________ "A man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry." |

Well, if my new passport arrives... and if I have the money after visiting London for four exhibitions... I would love to meet you all... the short necked swan (a rare variety that takes the train rather than flying!) Erin, the fabulous Debbie and Wayne and to see dear Clotilde again would be a lovely bonus too.
But it depends on what happens this October... name your time and place and if I can, I shall be there... if not, I shall work on sending something small care of Debbie. Not Guy La Griffe tho', he will be on the prowl! _________________ Confusion comes fitted as standard. |

C&Zers Gathering
When:
Wednesday, November 7, 2007; 6:30 pm (18:30h)
Where:
Cafe le Petit Pont
1, rue du Petit Pont, 5eme
The cafe is easy to find and faces the seine just at the tip of the rue du Petit Pont (which turns into rue St Jacques). For those of you who are familiar with the Shakespeare & Co. Bookstore, it is western end of that strip of cafes and stores that face that little park.
Look forward to meeting all who are able to be there! _________________ "A man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry." |

Yes, sorry, just back from holidays. (Absolutely wonderful, delicious, fabulous, delicious, relaxing, marvellous, did I say delicious? Croatia)
Sounds good at this stage. I actually have a few weeks work, so will cross fingers that this date is not one of my days....
Maybe I can bring Guy la Griffe - on his leash of course - if he seems to be able to cope with people by then. He is calming down nicely and actually let the cat nanny pat him while we were away!! Not bad for a scared, fragile rescue cat. Will have to make sure Griffin doesn't steal him though....
BTW ... Griffin, what exhibitions?????? Tell please (but maybe best in a PM so we don't get told off for going off subject... ) _________________ If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine.

Please , Griffin, exhibition list on- line on forum, please ( of course, PM's are good too), but you sure would like to share with us your pleasures
(cultural ones , I mean). I've browsed for London events because I realized I haven't been there for 7 years and it's time to return , but YOU BRITS are sooooooooooooo expensive!! Anyhow < Debbie, don't worry - if Adam and Eve/ Bad and Evil/ tree of knowledge coexisted happily together in the same topic with recipes for APPLE PIES, I'm sure London exhibitions will coexists unharmed with C& Z Paris meeting.
The Millais and Pre -Raphaelites, David Hockney ( a preferate of mine) , The chinese terracotta Army , and some more, got me on the phone with my travel agent. But I found out that having a 20 day comprehensive tour to China is the equivalent of about 1 week in London in a X rated BB!!
I'll be sure to consult with you before coming to London ( on PM of course).
Meanwhile enjoy your London museum tour!

Debbie,
There are two exhibitions at the V&A - The Art of Lee Miller, an ex-model and photographer and Haute Couture from 1947-57 including pictures and clothing from the New Look, Balenciaga, Balmain and Fath as well as Hardy Amies. If you look carefully, you may even see a dress being worn by Rachel... if she finds something she likes, tho' she's more into Poire I seem to remember.
Then in Late October there is an exhibition of art from Renaissance Sienna at the National Gallery as well as the Millais exhibition at Tate Britain. If I time it just right I can get all four in one day... tho' that may be a bit over adventurous. _________________ Confusion comes fitted as standard. |

Simona,
You are absolutely right, London is stupidly expensive, which is why I'm hoping to get there and do all four exhibitions in one day. Of course I would love to be able to stay one night at the Dorchester, but I am not president of a small country... (at least, not yet...!) _________________ Confusion comes fitted as standard. |

Oh, I read about the Lee Miller exhibit. It is amazing. THe self portrait of her is stunning.
Simona, I agree. London/UK is so expensive. My husband has a brother living there, and we stay with him when we go. Otherwise it is out of our budget.
Sigh, renaissance sienna........
You will have to come to Paris and tell me all about them.

Restaurant sounds lovely. I will locate it earlier in the week so that I may meet up at the right time. How will I locate everyone?
