Sur le Pont and a few other things!

Hi everyone! I have lost my way a bit with tidying my craft room - there is a tree outside my room, very welcome when it's sunny but dark when it's raining!

Not too dark for a bit of crafting though!!

I have made a tag for Tag Tuesday's challenge - Anything Goes.

I started this so long ago I can't remember any details about how I made the background. I added AALLandcreate stamps and some bits of chocolate paper that were on my desk...Ooops! The balloon lady was cut from an ATC that didn't quite look right when I made a few for the WOYWW crop. The sentiment seemed to be just right! 

I also made a journal page for Gill's theme at Art Journal Journey - 'Anything with Eyes'
It's a simple page...

...using an image cut from a booklet about Christmas food!!! 
For most of my childhood we lived in a cottage between two farms(well, one was across the road actually)and I spent a lot of time playing with friends on one of them and 'helping' at the other.
I saw quite a few calves being born too! 

Cows are such gentle creatures and I still can't resist stopping to look if I see some in a field. We like to go to Sizergh Farm shop too and last weekend when we called in the cows were being milked and I couldn't resist breathing in the reminiscent odour!  

I was lucky enough to do some volunteer work at a National Trust farm for a few years not so long ago and it was then that I gave up eating beef.

I used a baby wipe to add some pale blue paint, some stencilling and stamping with AALLandcreate's Tracy Evans's daisy. I found the sentiment separated from it's sheet. I added some inky spatters and coloured in the daisy with the same ink.

Now, back to Avignon and the bridge!
We very nearly didn't make it. I told you that we bought a joint ticket...well, in an effort to make my bag lighter in the heat I removed quite a lot and..yes..the ticket, which I mistook for a used one! We set out in the morning and had walked quite a way when something 'clicked' as we were coming up to a cafe! I would have gone back myself..really..but hubby would have none of it...so after finishing his drink he left me to finish mine and went all the way back to the hotel!

I had spotted a nice looking restaurant that was serving food in the square so when hubby got back he had another drink and we moved over  to the square - the same company owned the restaurant!

 As you can see, not his usual smile so not for T Day!!

As we didn't want to go on the bridge in the middle of the day we went to the Petit Palais museum where there was an amazing Italian art exhibition, which I may get around to showing you one day!

Finally we found our way onto the bridge..or rather half bridge..

 It's rather strange to walk along to the end of a bridge not even halfway across the river!
The views were lovely though!

 We looked up to where we had taken the photo the day before
There was a very good display at the exhibition centre and a very informative film too.

We didn't dance on the bridge though!

Next time I will take you to Toulouse and the disastrous start we had to our stay!

Thanks for looking, Chris
