The Artist in Seine and the Battle of Waterloo

He was there!

...and so was Napoleon :-)

Bullet holes from the Battle to prove it!

"The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself...

oh yeah...
Waterloo - How does it feel that you won the war..
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more..
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to..
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you..
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo!"
Aha...it was won with beer, now i understand.
 

Thank you , InSeine...great fun collage card!

You have me singing...

(and we are way beyond #1000...go, go, go)

What do you mean?  I was there! 

Lozt is only a frame of mind.  Actually the British lost, but the French made them believe that they had won.  Very clever us French people.

And i understand from the news that no French government officials attended the Waterloo event?

"Ze French do non attende the memorials of battles thez lozt" someone remarked :-)

Happy it arrived with the bullets still in there. (but some of them went right through.  It was quite a full three days full of action for the 200th year of the Battle of Waterloo.  For a moment or two I thought the French were going to win and change the course of history.  But the History book on the shelf just repeated itself.Thank you for the wonderful blog.

PS And yes, N° 1000, the plans have been approved but now the workshop wants to take a summer vacation. Hold on, it will happen someday.  I think the title might be; "Order & Disorder"
