A Higher Education

From Russia with love

Flying nowadays has few plus points. BA cabin staff are more grumpy than French hoteliers.

However you can still pick up some great magazines in the BA lounge - example featured here is a wonderful Russian magazine: Vogue, meets Architectual Digest, Wallpaper, Design Week et all.

Paris Breakfast

Up early. Breakfast soon after.

C'est la vie. Say what's on the side of that bus!

Paris Morning

As the pale sun wrestles the street light to the ground it becomes harder to remember the cancelled Air France flight, the long procession through Passport Control and arriving late at the hotel who did not have a reservation for me. All delivered with a polished grumpyness. Plus ca change. Today is dawning bright and clear
