Meet Kimchi, our Christmas week cat sit in London. Kimchi likes sleeping, treats, and prowling. Very low maintenance, bless him. But I’m counting down to seeing Lulu - 3 sleeps plus 2 long flights. #thewayfaringpath #cat

Here’s a belated Christmas photo - a section of a painting in a church in #Metz, #France of little baby Jesus. (I’ve heavily edited as it was very dark). Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. My ankle is sore so I’m having quiet rest days as I prep for the long flight home. #thewayfaringpath #travel

Post-pub-pre-Christmas coffee as the sun nears the horizon on Xmas eve. It’s 3:30pm and the sun is so low. It’s bitterly cold, so I have a small hope of snow tomorrow! #thewayfaringpath #uk #london #wimbledon #sunset

I’m in Cambridge overnight, staying with a lovely friend. She very kindly took me to #Ely Cathedral and stained glass museum, which unsurprisingly I bloody loved! Some excellent charity shops in Ely too, dangerous. And I’m just generally loving how friendly and chatty everyone is. #thewayfaringpath

We made it to London, the station and Eurostar train were PACKED with all the pre-Christmas travellers, but it all went smoothly and we made it to our friends’ place in good time. This is Julian’s studio, which we were lucky enough to visit this morning. #thewayfaringpath #uk #london #art #friends

I’ve never understood why we can’t just make everything Art Nouveau. #thewayfaringpath #france #paris #artnouveau

I cannot claim credit for this - Regan got out the door early to catch the dawn while I was in the middle of my morning shift. It’s St Eustace, where I was on Tuesday, and I think is the loveliest shot of the whole trip. #thewayfaringpath #france #paris #photography #sunrise

St. Eustace in #paris is a really impressive Late Gothic church - I’m so going to miss wandering around such places. But my mind is definitely turning to home as we draw to the end of this wonderful seven month trip. #thewayfaringpath #travel #france

Five years ago today I was given a cancer diagnosis. I’m still here, thanks in no small part to the love and support of family and friends, and most particularly this bloody legend. Living our best life after a few really tough years. #fuckcancer

I’ll be honest, I’m absolutely NOT in the mood for the Paris crowds, but this artisan’s market was pretty adorable. I got massively upsold on chocolate but you know, chocolate. It’s all good. #thewayfaringpath #France #Paris #marchedenoel

Metz train station is lovely, it was built for the Kaiser when the city was under German rule and is basically a palace with trains in it. Also has a nifty line in Xmas trees outside. We made it to #Paris unscathed and ankle is coping well with walking around PHEW! #thewayfaringpath #France #Metz

More glass from the archives. This face is so beautifully painted, it looked like a photograph. Taken at Saint Eucaire, #Metz on Tuesday. #thewayfaringpath #France #stainedglass

I’m housebound for the next few days so will have to post “file” photos. Here’s the glass from the church where I fell over yesterday. It’s pretty amazing eh?! #thewayfaringpath #stainedglass #France #Metz

So this is me after tripping over a step and spraining my ankle in a church earlier. At least I hope it’s just a sprain - it’s very sore and swollen and we are hoping it’s not broken. Unbelievably there were THREE other people in the church who totally ignored me! So weird. #thewayfaringpath #ouch

Turns out the best way to look at a very tall cathedral is from a Ferris wheel! #thewayfaringpath #france #metz #cathedral

Christmas is underway!
Our last week in Lyon was the start of Christmas making her presence felt, with beautiful lights going up everywhere, lovely shop window decorations, and the Christmas market opening up!

So. Many. Gargoyles. This is the facade of Notre Dame in Dijon, where I’ve been spending time each day sketching the stained glass. It’s my new favourite activity, and one I’ll do as much as possible in the last three weeks left on this trip. #thewayfaringpath #France #Dijon #gargoyle #medieval
