Anna and moi, go back to the boarding school in Whem, I used to sleep in her bed so I could visit my boyfriend and she used to sleep in my house so she could escape the school at weekends. It was a very instant friendship , the kind you meet- and are friends always.
Anna and I had Paris together once , we where both students she at the Sorbonne in Paris and I at St Martins in london. There was a party in the house of one of the St martins students in East London, and I got talking to some guy who was studying film from Dusseldorf. We talked about Paris for ages. We talked about Paris so much, that on the spur of the moment ,inspired by the warm London night and the happy party we decided to go to Paris that morning.
We went home got a passport and met at the Victoria station on the buss to Paris.
The was no romance intended.
Once we arrived, I kind of thought what the heck am I doing here with this polite but stranger guy. I called Anna and said, Anna ,I am in paris, can I stay with you?
Anna hosted me . Showed me what the French eat, apple pure and pancakes. And I spent my days at the louvre falling in love with Egyptian sculptures whilst she was studying.
After at least a decade we met over skype to paint two nights ago. Still the instant for ever friendship is there.
She was in Champagne, drinking tons of champagne and I in Split drinking the vine, and we painte and talked. And it was amazing.
I love this project form making me contact people I love.
