Camels

I'm very partial to a good camel. They bite, they spit and they look like sardonically witty maiden aunts.

They're one of my favourite animals. Along with manatees and sloths.

My mannikins are breeding and have spawned this cute little chap. I like him. He reminds me of Chucky.

The Message in the Fitting Room

This encouraging note was waiting for me when I was trying on some rather overpriced Paul Smith trousers.As it happens, I don't have a husband. And if I did, his credit cards would certainly be maxed out by now!

Love Your City

Although her tulips are plastic, this little girl says it all: "Tend your city. Make it flower and smell sweet. The air will be fresher and you will create a greener, gentler and more beautiful environment for all those who live there".

Secret Paris

Away from the bustle of the street, the secret face of Paris is littered with blank walls like a giant stage set. Only Théâtre de Châtelet (on the right) maintains its formal glitz.
