The old and new

I took this the other day when I went into the city to sell a gold bracelet.  I was thrilled with the price I got, and decided to use the money for special treats.  So far I've bought two necklaces with it.  The building is the General Post Office (GPO).  In times past, the whole place was used by the postal department, but nowadays only a small part is, with the rest  given over to shops and restaurants.  It's the same the world over - the old buildings are so beautiful, compared to the boring glass and steel of the new ones.


Your Paris photos are soooo beautiful, Michael.  I've never seen such interesting shots of the Eiffel Tower - you make it look like lace.  (The second lot are still downloading.)


Frank, that morning in the Rose Cafe I had scrambled eggs, bacon and tomato on toast.  There was enough food for about four people and I had to leave some, unfortunately.  Next time we will ask for half serves.

Its Bank Holiday Monday here Diane, most of the shops are either closed or on early closing! Should save me a few quid.
