Last Saturday I returned to Paris to visit the Grand Magasins as they call their department stores. I was more than a little disappointed as the area seemed a little dull. No wonderful shop windows to lick. Everything seemed to be very low key, trying not to attract attention. I'm not sure if this is the result of the terrorism that has unfortunately hit Paris or I just chose the wrong time to visit.<br />

Last Wednesday I took a trip into Paris on the train. I spent the day in one of my favourite places - The Marais. Bittersweet really as it was a place Harvey and I used to visit a lot but hey life has to go on and it's still a favourite.My first stop as always was <a href="https://www.merci-merci.com/en/" target="_blank">Merci</a> on Boulevard Beaumarchais. I was delighted that their Look at the Flowers exhibition was still on. <br />

Sunday Charlotte, the children and myself visited Salon International

It
was HUGE. Live sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and anything else edible all
inside and accessible to all and amazingly it was all spotless. Fresh
hay replaced any soiled hay in seconds. I have no idea how they do it
but it bloody works. </div>

The
food halls were separated into French Regions and the fresh foods on
sale and the ready to eat versions were to die for. We had a Normandy
Duck Sausage Sandwich each which we could have fed an army with. A glass
of regional wine was €2. </div>

The
children are only 6 and 18 months but they had a ball. Tiana did a
blindfold tasting test and was rewarded with a kid's cookery book and
some goodies. Josh was just happy to run around and look at the animals.

The
children were allowed to touch the animals but it was left up to the
adults to keep them safe. After all isn't that what adults are supposed
to do? To be honest the children seemed to instinctively respect the
animals which I suppose comes from being allowed to be free around them.

We
British are too quick to blame the EU for our Nanny State, this proved
to me that it's not the EU it's the crazy litigious society we have
created. Too quick to sue someone instead of taking responsibility. We
have stolen our children's childhoods from them for money and for that I
feel very ashamed.<br />

Aldbourne with its crisp lines is well suited to a modern interior.

The Alton, in my opinion, lends itself to a modern setting due to its
more angular lines. Upholstered in Zinc Country Linen would be my first
choice as grey always works best in modern interiors. <br />

The Bowood would fit beautifully in a traditional

cushions to a neutral linen background for dramatic effect. </div>

I can safely say, they are definitely top of my list for my new chaise sofa
bed. Their designs are just what I am looking for and will be perfect
for when my family comes to stay. Best of all, once I’ve decided it will
only take 4-5 weeks for my handmade to order item to arrive. </div>

<span style="font-family: , , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">I am finding it diificult to describe the amazingly detailed work of <a href="http://www.suzannemoxhay.com/interiors" target="_blank">Suzanne Moxhay</a> so I shall leave it to her:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: , , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">'In
my recent work I have been exploring concepts of spatial containment in
montages built from fragments of photographed and painted interiors.
Architectures are disrupted by anomalous elements – contradictory light
sources, faulty perspective, paradoxes of scale. Light casts shadows in
the wrong direction, walls fail to meet in corners, an area of the image
can be seen either as an enclosing wall or dark overcast sky'.</span><br />

I'm constantly asked where I get my ideas from and I always say - by looking up, sometimes however I get it by looking at food. Nature's pantry is truly inspirational. The colours just sing. Totally possible to copy these colours onto your interiors. Images found on <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.<br />

I love New York (barring Trump Tower) and one of my favourite quirks of the city is the steam pipes that spring up on their roads. Designer Mark Reigelman came up with this clever idea, albeit temporary, to cover them with little buildings with chimneys.

I hoped from the moment I heard about 3D printing that it would eventually have the ability to create pieces such as these. I'm am also so impressed by this French company - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/initial_lescreations/" target="_blank">Initial </a>that has even found a way to print glasses made to measure<br />

I have to admit to not being a fan of Timourous Beasties designs until recently. The insects in their designs just put me off to be honest. I don't do insects I'm afraid, God knows why I live in the country, but now I am a big fan. Browse through these beautifully upholstered pieces of furniture an see if you agree.<br />

Pity this fabulous loft is in New York, a bit far away for me. I love the eclectic feel off this place. In this time of changing trends, which incidently drives me insane, it's so refreshing to see something that is timeless yet innovative. <br />

To present a loft in this way is very brave because most ould go for an industial look. TThi only proves that you can mix looks with great effect. Be bold and I promise you it will be beautiful.<br />

Meet my kettle, she's called Emma. I have long been admiring this stunning design and it even matches my kitchen decor.</div>

Due to the fact that I have an open plan ground floor in my cottage the kettle is always on show. For my last birthday my son and his wife, who incidentally is called Emma, surprised me with this. I had admittedly been banging on about it.<br />

Have
you ever visited a shop you could live in? I did last week in
Cheltenham. I bought a gorgeous pair of flat shoes in a fabulous dress
agency in The Suffolks area of Cheltenham. A snip at £29. The lady who
sold me them pointed out the designer and said we should visit the shop
which was just around the corner from the apartment we were staying in.
Needless to say we went tout suite. </div>

<a href="http://www.keithscarrott.co.uk/" target="_blank">Keith Scarrott</a> (above), shoe designer, opened his shop in 1975. He has since handed
over the reins to his daughter Sophie who is equally as talented as her
Dad. The shoes are to die for and shockingly inexpensive. Those high
boots (below) are £125 which is amazing for such style and quality.<br />

I've
spent the last couple of months travelling. On my way back from France I
joined a friend at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. It was my first
ever visit to Cheltenham and I was literally blown away (forgive the
pun). <br />
<div>
I have never seen so many stunning buildings in one
relatively small space. The place is full of fabulous individul shops 2 of which I will show you this week.</div>
<div>
Take look for yourselves. I've captioned the
images. </div>

When
I'm asked where I get inspiration from I always reply - by looking up.
Nature has a way of showing me how to put colours together. Hey it's
been doing it al lot longer than I have. <br />
<div>
Take for instance
this phenomenon that often happens when the sun shines through a
darkened sky. The colours take on a whole new look. As they say in the
design world - they pop.</div>

Well
where do I start? This is the most beautiful Chateau I have ever
visited. It's somehow got a homely feel even though it's so palatial and
the guide book easily imparts its information as you take it all in. <br />
<div>
<div>
It's bright due to all the windows and is beautifully preserved. </div>
<div>
I
could go on forever about how fabulous it is but I'll let the pictures
speak for themselves with an added caption here and there. </div>

<div>
<div>
I
left the UK on 11th September, with my little French family, in blazing
sunshine and returned on 17th October to falling leaves and a chill in
the air.</div>
<div>
My mission was to see as much as was possible whilst I
was in France. We together and me on my own discovered some stunning
places, far too many to show all in one go here on my blog. So over the
next few weeks I shall share them with you in bite size pieces.</div>
<div>
I
have to start with the most amazing Chateau I visited whilst staying in
the Loire Valley. There was so much to see that I even have to show you
this in bite size pieces so let's start with:</div>

<div>
Chenonceau Chateau The Gardens</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
The most stunning and interesting historic building I have ever visited!</div>
<div>
I
usually spend little time in such places as it all becomes much of a
muchness after a while. This place however has style in buckets and the
guide brochure was brilliantly presented showing everything in order of
viewing with interesting info at each step. </div>

The minute you
set foot in the gardens you are taken to another era. The streams that
ran alongside the entrance road had duckweed on the surfaces which made
them look like carpets in the most vivid green. <br />

I loved that my favourite garden was called Diane's Garden. Named after Diane de Poitiers who was donated the Chateau by Henry I because she was his favourite lady being beautiful, intelligent and having a great sense of business. Nice we have the same name.</div>

The Loire Valley's answer to Manhattan - Richelieu. This town is built on a simple grid system. Great for me 'cos it's hard to get lost. </div>
<div>
A
square sits at the centre with a recently renovated covered market and
every road that leads to it has an arched entrance and stunning
landscaping. Beautifully designed and executed. </div>
Very tall,
grand buildings keep the sun off the streets so it maybe wasn't a good
idea to visit early on an autumn morning. It was chilly to say the
least. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Sitting
here on the terrace of the Hotel Diderot in Chinon having a Pastis before I walk
into town for a meal. Pure bliss. It promises to be sunny for the rest
of my stay. What more could I ask for? There's even a cast iron spiral
staircase to make me feel right at home.I have an awful lot to tell you about this fabulous hotel but let's save that for later.</div>

Up the road was a brocante attended by professionals. Far too expensive for me and to be honest a load of tat. <br />

It's
Sunday lunch time and I am sitting in what has been designated one of
the most beautiful villages in France on the banks of the Loire River.
That in fact is an understatement. Opposite me is a market selling
delicious local, fresh produce and quite good quality clothes. More hats
than you can shake a stick at. </div>
<div>
I am reluctant to
move from this bar/restaurant but a few kilometres along the road is
another designated beautiful village so I'm off. Enjoy the views I
captured whilst here in Montsoreau. </div>

It's not quite
