The riverside quays are a great place for a brisk winter walk or a gentle summer stroll. Boats and water birds animate the scene and open skies give distant views of local landmarks, forever changing with weather and the season. The local landmarks along the river Seine are world famous, unlike those along the river Tweed but water, wind and weather and the basic structures of bridges and quays find echoes between the two.
This week’s photo challenge Tour Guide asked ‘What do you love about where you live? Show us!’ As I currently go ‘home’ to both a studio flat in central Paris and a stone cottage in Berwick upon Tweed my take on where I live is a little confused.

Such contrasts! And yes, really hard to choose where you might prefer. Luckily it seems you don’t have to.

This is our final year in Paris so I’m determined to make the most of it, even when I’m hankering to get back to my new garden in Berwick…

How lucky to live in two such places – each striking in their own particular ways. I have a variation on your 2-centre life. My physical self lives in Shropshire, but my mind-self lives in East Africa. One 400 million years ago were both places roughly in the same place. Great photos. Lovely blog.

Thanks for your kind comment, Tish. Intrigued by your Shropshire / East Africa split I’ve just been over to explore your blog and will be back for more.

Both abodes equally beautiful, Judith. I live on a river Tweed too. Quite different to yours but steeped in indigenous history

This is a good kind of confusion. Best of both worlds, I say.
