"Art is a lie that makes us realize truth." (Pablo Picasso)

Jo Grassini's gorgeous painting 'The ballet dancer' reminded me of Edgar Degas and his famous paintings of ballerinas. This is one of my favourites - 'Dancers Practising at the Bar'.

I think looking at decorating magazines and trying out new ideas is a wonderful pastime! Limited space is always a problem and I love tips on how to decorate a small room.

Fascinating neighbourhoods

Ile St Louis, in Paris, is one of my favourite neighbourhoods. It's an island on the river Seine, at the heart of the city. I like it because it is at the same time traditional and modern, quiet and lively. There are no museums or other tourist hot spots, but it's a fantastic place to go for a walk or just relax in a café. There are interesting boutiques, toy shops and art galleries. And there's also the famous Berthillon, a local ice cream shop.

What's your favourite neighbourhood? Why do you like it?
