I've been using tote bags from the Bayeux Carrefour for a few years. Still going strong. Used a couple of times a week and as good as new. Not sure what they are made of but the design is ingenious. Lightweight, large and two sets of handles. Short ones for hands and long ones for shoulders.
How the ‘forever tote’ became the It bag du jour – and a greenwashing ruse
How the ‘forever tote’ became the It bag du jour – and a greenwashing ruse
From museums to wine bars, businesses are enticing consumers to carry logos on their arm. Demand is high, but the life cycle short

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

A few years ago I made a brief visit to Brașov in Transylvania for a Romanian friend's wedding. As a long time Dracula fan I would have loved to have spent longer there. On my list for a return visit.

After many trips to Normandy I finally got around to visiting Mont St Michel this October.
