More of my little town

This is an artist's picture of the restaurant I went to today - it is very well composed and very accurate. You can see from this even, that there was a little part and then the two windowed old paint shop. I love the detail this girl puts in - even the owners car at the front and of course the cat on the roof ! The shop next door deals with violins and you can even see the guy's (another old school pal) notice outside. Anyway just thought you would like to see more of my little town. You can play one of my fav songs with this

Ladies that lunch - jangold

Morning girls. I have a busy but lovely day ahead as I am meeting my friend Kerry for lunch at our favourite restaurant in town called Granvilles. I took this picture of the outside of it last Summer. The restaurant is very special to me as it is owned by an old school pal and he bought a little coffee shop first just after he left school and turned it into quite a famous jazz place. Then he bought the larger shop next door, which had previously been a paint/DIY shop, and knocked the two into one as quite a substantial property. As a child, I spent a lot of time in this paint shop as my Father was a painter and decorator and I used to go with him to get his paint and things and as a trades person he spent most of his time in the stockroom at the back, which now forms the bulk of the restaurant. So this place has very special memories for me and although my Father died 15 years ago, I always think he is with me when I am there especially and remember the times I spent as a young child in the back of the shop with him. When Lee and I got married abroad we had our 'pre wedding' luncheon reception here also - so it has double special memories. I hope the sun shines through and Kerry and I have a great time. Hugs to you all Jan xxx

Pécs, my town


It is my town. I hope you like it.
Actually it is a very beautiful city and I realized it only when I was searching for pictures about it on the net. I have to confess that I don't really like living here. I think it is due to the not so pleasant memories...
If everything is going fine I'll move to the capital city in some month to start working and start living there but before that I have to finish my exams here. (I know, I should study hard now, but instead, I'm here.. Bad girl :))

Love, Coco
