  • 26 June 2020. Zone des Dunes, refugee camp, Calais, France.<br />
A young refugee mother sits at the side of the road with her young 2 year old son close to the tented refugee camp at Zone des Dunes in Calais, a relatively new refugee camp which sprang up just outside the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was closed down by authorities. The mother who did not wish to be named is a refugee from war torn Eritrea. She made her way overland from Eritrea to Sudan and from Sudan through what she described as extremely dangerous Libya. From Libya she was able to get on a boat to Italy where she then boarded a train to Austria and eventually Germany where her son was born. The young mother claimed conditions in Germany were atrocious and she left for France where she has lived in the refugee camp at Calais for almost 6 months. Her dream is to find safety and sanctuary for herself and her little boy in the United Kingdom. <br />

  • 02 April 2020. Hesdin, Pas de Calais, France. <br />
Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
The almost deserted streets of Hesdin, a usually bustling and vibrant town, especially on Thursday's when a large outdoor market fills the 'Place D'Armes' and side streets.  Despite an easing of restrictions on local markets the streets were mostly empty. <br />
<br />
For the first time since government restrictions came into force, the main market in Hesdin has been permitted to re-open. The historical town has hosted a usually vibrant and bustling market since the middle ages. With stall holders limited and many suffering huge financial losses, those selling food today were happy to be back to work despite the ongoing risks posed by coronavirus.<br />
<br />
Shoppers, many wearing masks were mostly maintaining their social distancing with people happy to be out and able to meet and talk with other people. A lot of shoppers were elderly people who have been trapped in their homes for weeks. One shopper complained of 'la misère,' - the misery of this virus and being stuck in her home. <br />
<br />
Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government and today's market re-opening was a brief return to normalcy for many able to escape the confines of their homes.<br />

Banksy ‘thieves’ busted cutting original grafitti art work from shop wall<br />
<br />

Last Updated: 24th February 2014<br />
<br />
A BOGUS construction crew were chased off after they were busted cutting an original Banksy from a wall.<br />
One of the gang, who called himself Chris, was caught holding a power drill half-way through extracting the work by the British street artist.<br />
<br />
Hidden by a temporary wall of plywood, he told snapper Charlie Varley that the 2008 artwork – dubbed “Umbrella Girl” – would be shipped to London for a Tate Modern retrospective of Banksy’s career.<br />
He added that it would be re-installed at its current location on the side of an abandoned store in New Orleans, US, once the exhibition had finished.<br />
<br />
But when local residents quizzed the men and ordered them to show a permit for the operation, they packed up their equipment and scarpered.<br />
A security guard was installed at the scene on Friday to make sure the suspected thieves did not return.<br />
Clay Lapeyrouse, who lives nearby, said: “They were cutting it out of the building. The story they gave me just seemed weird."<br />
<br />
Police are now hunting the suspects, aged between 25 and 35, following the incident.<br />
Banksy’s work fetches huge sums at auction, with his Kissing Coppers mural going under the hammer for £345,000 in the US last week.<br />
