Paris is always a good idea. (Audrey Hepburn)
Bonjour TSL readers! A wee post from not-so-sunny Paris where LM and I are enjoying our last couple of days before crossing the channel…
Some observations:
1. Raspberries are so much better here than at home. I have been scoffing them at a rate of knots. I can’t express how much I love them. Seriously yummy!
2. Despite not speaking any French (beyond the extreme basics), LM has mastered the art of Gallic posturing and shoulder shrugs. He’s a natural. Who would’ve thunk it? Quite endearing, really.
3. Sydney would be a better city with a Metro like the one in Paris. No question.
4. Sometimes, (like today) I wish you could pick a new pair of feet when it feels like you have worn your old ones out. All this walking wears a girl out!
…and, some happy snaps as promised. I am not known for my photography skills, and more often than not forget to take pictures (its hereditary) so, apologies in advance!:
Do hope you are all well at your end. I shall try and pop in again from London.
A bientôt

Sorry BCD – unlike the highly efficient Sparks, I never got around to a London post. Too busy walking… and walking… and walking… and eating! How are you?

We are back! Had a ball – London exceeded expectations (despite having lived there twice!) It was just lovely to visit again, but equally lovely to return home. Funny how travel can help you appreciate what you have…
It does feel like an age, doesn’t it? I have so much blog-reading to catch up on, BCD…

Fabulous! Looks like you are having a most wonderful time in Paris, I am jealous and happy for you at the same time 🙂
You’ve opened my eyes to a couple of sights that we never got around to experiencing and that chocolate shop will definitely be on the list for our next trip.

We travelled safe and have returned to sunny Syders. Just lovely flying in over the harbour.
