Our Lady of Paris is on fire and I'm watching her burn. The heart of our city and the immortal monument. In tears as I sit. #NotreDame

Trudging my way through the notes on Medoc, and why vineyard area decreased by 19,000ha between the end of the 19th c. and the 50s, have came across this wonderful video from @BritishPathe on the 1956 freeze. Give it a watch for nostalgia's sake. https://t.co/92SaHVIAeG
