1) "The Potty's the Place", a quote from a 'favourite stories for under fives' video from 1991.

2) "There's no place like HOME", a quote from the Wizard of Oz, if you would like to see the extract I am referring to

Extract number one. Glenda asks 'What have you learnt'

EXTRACT NUMBER TWO, "There's no Place like Home"

However, this fairy tale had dire consequences for the actors has you can see in this short documentary, especially Judy Garland who never really found her happy place in this world, and died in 1969 at age 47.

3) On Friday 15th March 2019, the place to be for me was in Toulouse for the March to Preserve the Climat. A March on Friday for high-school children and students.
There were adults too with smaller children and older people, even very old, in wheelchairs.

From 16.00 TO 17.30, the Place to be was Allés Jules Guesde, in the heart of Toulouse.
From 17.30 TO 19.00, we marched from the Allés Jules Guesde, Palais de Justice, Les Carmes, Rue Alsace Lorraine, The Capitol, Place St Sernin, Place Jeanne d'Arc.

If you would like to watch some videos I took at Allés Jules Guesde : banners, costumes, singing, dancing, slogans chanted, all the different kind of people coming together to protest against the Government inaction in face of the threats to the Planet,
