Paris Photographer – Louis Paulin
‘Odd,’ said Joan, ‘we haven’t seen our lovely friend, the red-headed woman, for several days, have we?’ – ‘no indeed,’ as Scatty looked up for a moment, as she laid down all her cards, and shouted, ‘Rummy!’ as she grinned happily, ‘all out, again,’ as she gathered the cards together, then began to shuffle them again.
Meanwhile, on the next table, Francis and The Old One were concentrating playing poker, while outside, Mr Cushing was busy cleaning his gorgeous limousine, he had just finished polishing the car, when he looked up to see the red-headed woman standing near him.
‘Fancy a drive, my dear?’ said Mr Cushing, ‘I think I know where you want to go,’ as he stared at her, while she gripped her bag more tightly, then nodded.
‘Can I come too?’ as The Old One appeared outside, ‘I lost again, poker is not my strong suit you see, my pride has been injured yet again, but never mind, it seems we have a job to do.’
So off they went, the three of them, it was such a lovely day, and soon they arrived at that particular farm, and even from there, they could all see the poor farmer was clearly still brooding over life’s injustices, well wouldn’t he?
The red-headed woman jumped out, trotting to the farmer, the two of them began to walk in step together; then they popped inside the farm house, then a moment later, the red-headed woman appeared again, and said, ‘all done.’

Well, this story is almost back to the beginning. There was a heist on the Louvre in Paris (that was real and nothing to do about anyone here – those lot) and then a little later there was another real news about those many millions of snails being stolen in a farm about 2 hours from Paris. Of course, everything else was all made up.. fun, eh? Plus, Inspector Clouseau (giggling).

Now I am really confused…. What went on in that farm house?
LikeLiked by 2 people
Confused? Maybe. I’m thinking that those diamonds have been given back to that farmer… some money to help him make new snails since those other ones had been stolen, presumably new snails will pop up very soon… spring, perhaps?

1st: well done to red-head woman. Posession is 9/10th and all that technical stuff.
2nd: HEY! That’s Aberdeen Street in Hong Kong. I’ve walked up and down that steep hill many times when I lived there. How fun to see that again! Thank you ❤️

Oh, how brilliant! You lived in HK… most impressive! Also sounds a great name ‘Aberdeen Street’ – very Scottish!

I think it’s named after George Hamilton-Gordon, the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, who ended up being a prime minister. I think.

I think the next part of the story depends on what happened in the farmhouse.

Even if the diamonds were not real, I’m sure they meant a great deal to the farmer (sentimental value, perhaps?).
I’m sure it won’t be long before another adventure finds this crew.
