A good excuse to exceed six:
Wishing very happy travels to Anthony
(And all of his family too).
Thanks for a great Arles workshop,
Farewell for now
See you 2018!

And many thanks to another good friend for inspiring the six words

Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtagtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Posted as part of Six Word Saturday
Travel with Intent 
Arles? I see green with envy?!Because of van Gogh it’s on my bucket list…
Actually I came here, because I do not see your One Word Sunday photo for tomorrow (Sunday Sept 3)): “Lookout. ” Did I overlook it?
Also, didn’t know you took over Six Word Saturday, because I have been in a cave for a number of months, painting my 10 x 17 feet. Since that’s almost finished, I have come out and a few things changed since then! Cool thing:)

Hi Jesh. Yes I took over SixWord Saturday a few months ago.
Just after I started One Word Sunday.
You’re a bit head of me for OWS, it will be up in about 8 hours, and yes it will be Lookout.
I’ve had a very busy (I really should go slower) couple of weeks with the workshop in Arles, helping my daughter with her dissertation and her move out of student accommodation, various family events, and a forthcoming trip to Vietnam. Plus my daughter is off to travel Asia for 3 months on Thursday.
One day, I’ll learn to rest.
As for Arles, it is a beautiful place, and oh so friendly. You will spot the similarities with Van Gogh’s work and understand why the colours there were such a soother and inspirer for him. Just make sure you go in summer so that you can also enjoy the annual international photography exhibition.
Also, I’m planning to go every year, so we could meet up 🙂

Wow, there are not many moms who can help with a dissertation! So did she already graduate?
About visiting Arles: you think of everything:)

Dissertation gets handed in tomorrow. Results in November and graduation in December.

It would work as “Arles’s well that ends well”, but who cares? I loved the title (and photo) anyway.

I wasn’t sure that an apostrophe would be counted a word break! Six is very important 🙂

A great shot, Debbie. Just want to walk into it and be there. From me you have fields – fields absent in wheat and also quite a lot of words: https://tishfarrell.com/2017/09/02/after-the-harvest-around-much-wenlock/

I’d like to be punny more often. But it’s a bit too demanding!

Thanks Ron. I was pleased to capture such a good mix of people. It’s one of 2 popular squares in Arles but crowds and harsh light make it hard to catch something interesting.

Did you stress the national grid by too much blogging, Jo?
I’m glad it prompted your six words rather than meaning you couldn’t join us 🙂
