Yes, I am still in Sydney, but I had to mention the spectactular Vivid Sydney.  I have to admit that I am a sucker for vibrant colour once in a  while. (I must get that from my two lovely nieces – whose favourite colour is pink!) But, if you are in Sydney, you definitely should take a peek at the Vivid Sydney website. The larger than pink colour spectrum on the exterior of Customs House will take your breath away. Absolutely gorgeous! Vivid Sydney started at 6pm this evening.

Well, what can I say? I have been researching places to dine, places to visit and, of course when researching Paris, the best patisserie and chocolatier to buy from. Apart from my extensive research – on the internet of course – Le Figaro has recently published their review of which is the best chocolate macaron, and they agree with me! 

Le macaron gagnant  – the winning macaron - is from Jean-Paul Hévin, 231, rue Saint-Honoré, Ier.  Tél.: 01 55 35 35 96.

If you are a chocolate connoiseur, then make sure you visit the Jean-Paul Hévin shop on on Rue Saint-Honoré. Jean-Paul is a highly skilled craftsman, and this shop in particular showcases the ingredient he is reknown for  – chocolate.

This is the start of my big adventure......
I am off on holiday in early June for a few weeks, and I will be visiting Istanbul, London, Birmingham and Paris.
While away I will be posting photos and little snippets of (hopefully) interesting trivia on what I am up to. Once back in Sydney, my home town, my plan is to start creating designs influenced by sights and environments experienced while on my (soon to be undertaken) holiday and previous trips overseas. 
Follow along as I tackle my dream to create some great designs inspired by images I capture on my trusty old Nikon camera.
