Conte d'été

This week's selection makes for an extra special #MusicMonday for Suma and you all as it was chosen by NewMan! This is his music to a beat - heavily 80s influenced and with un peu de franglais thrown in. The video is taken from a 1990s French film of the same name. We don't know much about the French band Exotica (the song was on one of our favourite Kitsuné compilations) but I like them more now I found this photo of them in matching woolly jumpers. Meaning "song of summer" I hope that Conte d'été brings a little warmth to a winter's day.

Here come the obligatory week of Instagram photos - these are the last one I took of Thailand before heading to our current destination Indonesia! Oh and spot the not so subtle  nod to Shepherd's Bush...Looking forward to hearing your #MusicMonday choons!
