Fields of Lavender in Provence, France.....okay--we're going there........

Fields of Lavender in Provence, France


Now let's visit these Lavender fields in Provence, France........It's beautiful--how can we get there--what is it like to actually stand in the middle of those purple blue rows--is it an overwhelming aroma of lavender wafting through our being.

I'm suggesting we take British Airways from San Diego and stop for a visit in London on the way.

We will see some shows and do a little shopping--we will stop for a Ramos Fizz at the Ritz.

The important question--where to have our tea.

Shall we do a little shopping--window shop on Savile Row and then look for shirting fabric at Liberty of London..........



Seriously, I know where there are plenty of really nice fabric shops, also buttons, at great prices--one cannot find these fabrics in San Diego.


Plenty of apps to help us find things......dinner, discounts, transportation.


We will be sure and stay at a hotel with a brilliant English Breakfast to get our day of sightseeing off to a good start.

We will get a package with hotel, breakfast and airline and then we will only spend on shopping, shows and transportation and dinner.

We could take an inexpensive flight to France but I am suggesting the Channel Tunnel for convenience and more fun.......it's just easier to end up at the train station and take a taxi to our destination......right, I love the Paris train stations, too.

It would be fun to stay a few days in Paris and try to find the roasted chicken and some of the food that Phil Rosenberg had in that PBS show.....I'll Have What Phil's Having.

Paris is so fun just walking around.....I love walking......I have always wanted to walk in the park that is made from an unused elevated metro track.

Let's also be sure and try the hot chocolate Phil was talking about......
Chocolat Chaud.
This is where Phil had his Choc.......we will take our picture sitting here, too.


Well, the trip is starting to shape up, but what about actually seeing those Lavender Fields.........shall we jump on the TGV and head down to Provence and check it out?




Story in progress.....to be continued.........suggestions accepted

Rolling Stones Announce a Club Show in Paris

By JAMES C. MCKINLEY JR.

The Rolling Stones are to do a surprise show at a small music club in Paris on Thursday night to warm up for a series of four arena concerts that will mark the band’s 50th anniversary.
Early Thursday, the band announced on Twitter that 350 tickets to the show would go on sale at a Virgin Megastore in Paris at noon and would cost 15 euros, or about $20. Fans started lining up outside the store, on the Champs-Élysées, before dawn and flooded in when the doors opened, with some coming from as far away as Hamburg, Germany, Reuters reported. The gig is to be held at the Trabendo, a venue in northern Paris that holds 700.
Earlier this month, the Stones announced they would play four concerts in November and December: two at the O2 Arena in London and two at the Prudential Center in Newark. They also plan to release a greatest hits album, “GRRR!,” next month, which includes two new tracks, and the film “Crossfire Hurricane,” a documentary about their rise to fame in the 1960s and 1970s.
Though Mick Jagger, the lead singer, has hinted that the four concerts might be a prelude to a bigger tour, no plans have been confirmed for concerts beyond the dates already announced. The Stones’ last tour was “A Bigger Bang,” which went on for two years, finishing at the 02 Arena in August 2007, grossed more than $558 million.
