Finally downloaded the app to my phone 😁. I have been considering a visit to Paris but I was a bit hesitant because of the Olympic Games preparations, maybe I’ll do it anyway 🌸!

I've just spent at least two delightful sidetracking hours trying to identify which Paris trip I went to St Denis but I can't find it.

I intended to see the old Kings monuments in the Cathedral but I fell under the spell of the High St and all the African shops. This too was the only place I've ever been to where I had to check in my shopping trolley with the security man before going in the supermarket. I loved it there. I felt right at home. That probably says seriously bad things about me that I love and seem to be drawn to the dodgy Paris places. I can see why filming there might not be a great idea from a personal security point of view but I took loads of photos,of shops,and no one bothered me or seemed to mind. I bought a long purple gown,a house dress,it's perfect for rare sweltering summer days,rare in UK. It's polyester silk and cost €8 and it's fab. If I lived in Paris I would shop at St Denis because the prices are what I call sensible. Also it had a lively vibrant vibe. They say that about places you might get mugged in! Like our St Paul's in Bristol! I hope all the people there now dont get gentrified out.
