I have a crazy wish to write my own stuff :-) if only I have the inspirationDrew:I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed 
I've been lonely for so long 
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on 

Hugh:I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away 
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday 
I've been setting aside time 
To clear a little space

I spent an entire day at Monet's Garden in Giverny in June this year. The weather was fantastic. The water lilies in his pond open up with time. They're half-closed in the morning and bloom fully by midday. In addition, birds were singing somewhere in the trees - I'll be grateful if any of you can identify the birdsong in the movie.

The standard of buskers in Paris is remarkable. Listen to this cellist playing under the arches of the Place des Vosges... When will our local buskers ever reach this standard?

I recently took these pictures of roses in bloom at the Marche aux fleurs next to the Notre Dame de Paris and at Le Marais district in the Jewish quarter of Paris. Their fragrance was heavenly.
