SILENCE

Leaving my talkative children to school through a very noisy London 
Moments after, driving along the beautiful countryside
A motorway like a runway if there is no tumultuous traffic jam
Arrived at the airfield...
Under a typical March blue sky,
I just enjoyed
The smell of the grass...

GHOSTLY

No, I don't believe in ghost
Yes, I do believe in signs
Which may be explained by mathematical theories,
Or quantum physics.
But this is another story...

UNEXPECTED

It is always the little "je ne sais quoi",
that I like in London.
The unexpected...

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

"Using color and light to direct the minds of the faithful 
by material means towards the immaterial..."
This is how the historian and adviser to Louis VI and Louis VII, Abbot Suger,
defined the function of religious stained glass.
Symbol of the sacred light ?
Transcendence of the divine?

BALANCE

Skiing on the snow
Water vapor frozen into ice crystals

Skiing on the water

You would immediately think about similarities

Yes and no

Actually, you need to readjust yourself

Which is quite frustrating sometimes

VERSATILE

With just a glance 

At my wing

I can see the versatility of 

The British weather

То́ска

I do suffer from it.
From time to time,
I could not figure out what it was.
The Great Vladimir Nabokov had put a name on it.

4 DEGREES

No, I am not cold at all
Why are you saying that? 
What a strange idea,
Oh come on...
It's not cold in fact
You think it's cold but ....no, it's not
Noooooo, silly you, that's perfectly fine.
Not cold at all....

HITTING

 
On a very cold and frosty morning, 
The Polo arena is solid like a rock.
The grass alongside is twinkling with ice

TRANSITION

Each time it is a little bit the same,
After being away from my home in London,
I need time to readjust myself,
To reset ad litteram my mind to daily life
Food shopping, school running, meals preparing...

The most beautiful hunter...
Rescued by Battersea Cats and Dogs

OBJECT OF DESIRE

You see my M-88 in the mirror ?
Yes,
You find them pretty?
Yes, very.
And my turbine, do you like my turbine ?
Yes,...
You like my blades too?
Yes, I love your blades

AVALLON

When I was a teenager (not so long ago, right...).
I used to do Eventing (as well as speed-skiing...)
Lord, I was young and fearless!

AT YOUR DISCRETION...

It's not easy
Sometimes
To deal with ourselves :
Fear, doubt, esteem, confidence...

In the "Big and Tender flying teddy bears" family,
I ask the......father !
Bonne pioche! (Good pick!)

BOND

I have a very special bond with aircraft engines.
It's maybe why I am an aircraft whisperer ;)
Because I have seen them in the most incredible situations :
When they were "tortured" for safety regulations.

OMNI ROLE

A true omni-role pony, with the skill of his rider, my pony is the most important factor in the terribly complex battle which is the game of polo : he is very sensitive to signals and commands.
With his power and outstanding maneuverability, my polo pony can achieve a quick burst of speed on demand... And his incredible agility will lead him to stop and turn quickly when prompted in pursuit of the ball...

DEVIL'S DEAL

When I was a little girl,
I have lots of cousins who liked to frightened me with legends and stories.
Especially when we were visiting my family in the Lot area.
One, particularly, impressed me and I was terribly reluctant to go there...
Padirac, the famous abyss where Saint-Martin and the Devil challenged themselves...
