Or A Little Fantasy, But for Real This Time<\/h4>\n

I get lost easily, and some places make me lose my way more completely than others. I believe in getting all tied up and involved with places, especially when the ties are those of mood, spirit or simply something in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved Saint-Ursanne<\/a>, it is one of those places that hasn\u2019t been entirely compromised by unbridled urbanism, tucked away as it was in a sleepy valley rather off the beaten track, it has kept much of its medieval integrity.<\/p>\n

So, as you may well imagine, when asked by Ursina, the local cultural makers and movers of the town, if I was interested in something unusual for 2007, I thought a few seconds and said \u201cWell, yes, why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

Next summer, for two and a half months, during the summer of 2007. There will be exhibitions, concerts, all manner of things. Right now it is in the very early stages, but, as I know from experience, far-away dates are stealthy hunters, and they sneak up on you without a sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
