The Visitation, a limestone sculpture with traces of polychrome dated c. 1525 and attributed to Nicolas Halins, is one of the most beautiful pieces of art in the church of Saint-Jean-au-Marché.  It depicts the visit of Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus, to Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist.  They wear Renaissance clothing of great complexity, with much-admired folds and embroidery on the two dresses. The sculptor added details of surprising precision, including a purse and a set of keys on Elizabeth's belt, a prayer book in Mary’s hand, and a thread of pearls in her hair.

Bonjour à tous 👋. This morning I am in Troyes, in the all-inclusive hotel which serves atrocious food - THE HOSPITAL ! Don’t be fooled by the photos ! News of those photos will appear further down. This is certainly the place for a crash diet. However I am not here for the food (no way) I am here for the fantastic medical care I have received and am continuing to receive.

The weather here is currently five Celsius and drizzle which looks to continue until early afternoon when it should be eight Celsius.

So why is she complaining about food, I hear you ask? This was the restaurant I went to last Sunday with my friend Maud. I had filet de bœuf with pepper sauce, gratin dauphinois and mache (lambs lettuce). Followed by tartine des fruits, glace and meringue croustillant. Having not eaten so much before I was surprised that my stomach could take what was a surprisingly big meal but it did! It showed its appreciation by rumbling again at 4:30pm 🤔, I think it wanted more of the same.

It’s a beautiful restaurant overlooking the lake and even on a grey day it is wonderful.

The start of the week I was chilled then at 2:30pm that calmness was thrown into chaos when a call from the hospital said arrive at 9:00 not 15:00 as originally told. No reason was given but I calmed myself by thinking chemo was starting early?

I was ready when the taxi arrived at 7:45 for the hours journey to Troyes. I was put into the family room while my room was prepared. An older French gentleman appeared who looked to be leaving (think it was his room I was given). He was polite, recognised I was “a stranger” and told me I spoke good French, what a compliment.

After being installed in my room the day involved being fitted with a catheter into my JUGULAR, yes you read that right. Apparently it gets the chemo into the blood stream quicker than with the normal PICC line. It was painless until I started feeling pain in my shoulder, the PICC line was put in on Friday and the jugular catheter removed yesterday. I still have the pain even with pain medication and as I had had it a little time before I came into hospital I have asked if a doctor will approve an X-Ray. So that is all the complaining done. I have lost Friday to treatment and Saturday to pain but hey such is life!

Now we turn to my family, where we find that “The Trainee Solicitor” has some news to give me which he confirmed is not “bad news”. He also took “mothers’ advice” and visited the “drop in” centre about his ear problem. I hope thé drops are having an effect and no side effects (look at the paper inside the box). I am hoping you feel better soon.

This week “The Ex-Graduate” changes title and becomes “The Reconnect Navigator”. She has had a couple of boring days in the job but has also had a few very interesting days. That’s the first week over and let’s hope you had your walk yesterday as I know you desperately needed the exercise. These poor nurses don’t need exercise,they must walk miles in a day on this unit, it is huge!

“The Photographer” had been working his day job, with a day off on Wednesday, always welcome when you work a weekend.

Yesterday, he travelled to Buxton in Derbyshire, to photograph for Scarborough AFC. There had been snow but the match was played. It ended up even, 0-0, but not a loss, which should give the players a little boost. These players work all week in amazing jobs and give up Saturdays and Tuesday evenings to play matches as well as the training they need to put in too. As you can imagine, they are tired but morale keeps them going.

Our newest member to the “clan” is “The Jetsetter”, who I think may either be back home now or still cruising in Norway (rather you than me, I get nauseous in my bed 😂 I don’t the action of a boat😂). Welcome and if you are still in Norway, “God morgen 👋.

I apologise in advance if my choices in music range from years you have only read about in history books 😂 but this is the music I love and the first track is “Long Train Runnin’” by The Doobie Brothers. This is back to 1973 😱.

The second song is Yah Mo B There by James Ingram and Michael McDonald. Oh, this is a bit more recent 😂 1988.

The picture below is of my dessert last week.

Jusqu’à la semaine prochaine.

Shopping Softness

Even though it was a hot afternoon in the middle of France, chills ran over my body as I entered the little cobblestone alley. The song of the cicadas suddenly sounded much quieter, somewhere very far behind me. Three steps, and it felt as if I’d travelled right into the Middle Ages, where narrow houses of stone and patterned woodwork stood waiting for my arrival. The witch’s house was just as distinct and colourful as all the others.

A bell tinkled as I hesitantly walked into her shop, where she made me wait for barely a moment before making her appearance and showing me all kinds of stoppered little glass bottles on crooked wooden shelves: blue for depression, red for anger management, yellow for energy, purple to strengthen one’s heart.

“I’d much rather soften my heart,” I admitted, not quite meeting her eyes. “I’d like to grow more patient, more soothing, more caring.”

“So you aren’t looking for a potion at all!” the witch informed me triumphantly, before uttering a series of kissy noises. “Here, Serafina!”

A beautiful black cat with the shiniest fur I’d ever seen trotted from behind the counter, bumped right into my legs, and I could feel my heart melt as soon as I gave in to her demands for petting.

On the right, the panels between the wooden beams at the top floor of the front house have been painted red, and the lower floor is built in stone. Behind it is a house with a yellow top floor to which a lantern is attached, and on the left is another yellow top floor and some more wooden structures. At the other end of the alley three people are standing in front of a brown door.]

Voilà le premier enseignement de la chevalerie: tu écrira le mot courage. En commençant le voyage avec ce mot; et en le poursuivant avec la foi de Dieu, tu arriveras là où tu dois arriver.

Livres "Mécaniques rafales" de Philip Reeve et "La chambre de Jacob" de Virginia Woolf.

Quel mélange ! Une activité de langage et une lecture de la semaine avec La chambre de Jacob peu caloriques mais les couvertures sont très colorées.

La chambre de Jacob est une pièce de théâtre sur sa vie, un jeune de la vingtaines traînant avec des adultes plus vieux que lui fumant le cigare, très drôle !

On trouve autant d'éléments dans le livre "Mécaniques rafales" que sur sa couverture, ce livre est très bon pour une présentation auprès de petits, poursuivre avec une activité artistique…

Saint-Pantaléon in Troyes, France, was the parish church of wealthy merchants during the Renaissance. They were proud to sponsor and display works of art such as statues and stained-glass windows. After the French Revolution, 16th century sculptures rescued from other churches were brought here, transforming it into a remarkable museum of religious statuary of the Champagne region.  As early as 1189, there was a half-timbered church dedicated to Saint-Pantaléon on this site. Construction of a stone building in the Gothic style began at the start of the 16th century. In 1570, the lower parts were covered by a temporary roof and the upper part was finished a century later in Renaissance style. In the last photo you can see the contrast between the Gothic and Renaissance parts. 

The wooden ceiling vault was built between 1660 and 1675. The pendulum with carved angels hangs directly above the altar in the choir. The nave is very narrow, and the transepts are even narrower. The height of the vault - 28 meters (92 feet) - contributes to the sense of elevation.
