With thoughts of relaxing restrictions on social outings the mind turns to who will we be catching up with, where will we go?? Well if this were mid 19th Century Paris you could take your family on a Friday night trip to your local morgue for a display of who had been pulled out of the river or found dead on the fringes of the city. Yes I was quite astounded myself at the concept but this was a popular pass time for the bourgeois back then.
Just one more thing that fascinates me about 19th Century Paris, yes I do go on a bit, but why not it was a fabulously excessive time which shaped modernity as we know it!
Well this being said, I hope you all enjoy your emergence from lock down and catching up with family and friends.
Au revoir pour le moment!!
