We are staying in Ande in Normandy, France, in a converted barn. It was originally the studio for the Russian painter Vladimir Bougrine. He has been associated with the village since the 1970′s because of the Moulin d’Ande, constructed at the end of the XIIth century. It is open to artists and intellectuals to help their creative endeavours flourish, far from the stir of Paris.
For me Paris is a magical city. A city for two people to enjoy. A city for lovers. Cheta and I went to Paris to explore and discover. It was our first time there together. It felt like an important step to take in our relationship, can we enjoy all that the city has to offer and enjoy each others company?
On a recent visit to Cordoba I visited the cathedral. It an amazing example of destructive architectural integration. Christians and Moslems successively tried to outdo each other in their dominance.
