Sometimes I’m so glad that my camera is always in my pocket. This was taken at the Cite des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris.

It’s just crying out for a caption isn’t it?

Any suggestions?

Actually this post is not really part of a mystery tour, but it is the opening entry in a series called ‘Places That I Have Found Interesting But Which I Have Somehow Failed To Get Around To Showing You’

Impressed with that catchy title? No, I didn’t think you would be, but I’m running with [...]

I couldn’t resist this:

Our roving reporter (that’s Mr TLC, who declined most emphatically when I suggested he might like to do a guest post) spotted this splendid figure of a snowman, patiently waiting for a 52 bus. Obviously our frosty friend hadn’t seen this (via @Rashbre).

He was attracting quite a bit of attention – the snowman that [...]

They made us laugh. We predicted an entry into the mighty FAIL blog.

And lo, it has come to pass.

You couldn’t make it up.

But someone thought it up. Scary.

Or maybe just funny. Part of me suspects a practical joker at work. Perhaps I should join in. :^)

Update Tues 25th November: I was going to write about this today, but I’m tired and about to head off to bed, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have to up rather earlier than the crack of dawn tomorrow because I’m on a school trip. We are leaving [...]

Our special reporter* nips out to the shops and spots a most unexpected sight. Have London’s pensioned off Routemasters found new employment in Sheffield?

At least one of them has, part of what seems to be a growing trend to hire a vintage bus instead of a wedding car.

I got quite carried away with [...]

And finally:

The autumn colours in the gardens at Chatsworth were stunning. The Beyond Limits exhibition couldn’t have had a better backdrop.

Obviously, I couldn’t resist taking some photos…

There were lots more sculptures that I haven’t shown you. If you’re interested in seeing them, the pictures are here.

The Good News:

Last year, for me, one the highlights of the Beyond Limits exhibition was this piece, Autumn Reflection, by Zadok Ben-David. From a distance it looked like a stylised tree, but on closer inspection we discovered that it was made entirely from small metal figures.

So it was good news to discover [...]
