So just to get a few excuses in first before I start to say
why I haven’t written anything that recently on here (and it isn’t because I have
been doing anything interesting I have honest keep reading and you’ll find out!).
Well I have had many a visitor these past few weeks! Who knew I was so
popular?! Certainly not me that’s for sure.
Firstly I spent a lovely weekend with my cousin and her
friends while they did the half-marathon and I watched with my aunt and uncle.
It is always so good to see other people getting so much enjoyment out of
exercise which I can’t say I always share. It was lovely going down to Chateau
de Vincennes where the start and finish points were, never a bad thing to
discover a different corner of the city especially when it’s one as beautiful
as the end of Line 1!
Last week it started to get unbelievably sunny much to my
delight as the arrival of my second guest was imminent. With a cheeky trip to
the favourite Cristals under our belts we headed to the market to buy an array
of produce for a picnic in Jardin du Luxembourg. So blanket in bag and cans of
Orangina in hand we set off for the kind of lunch I’d imagined I would be
having all the time when I first contemplated living here. It certainly felt
like I was going More Native Than The Natives – I mean can you get more French than
a baguette, goat’s cheese, olives, petit fours and Orangina? All of the Parisians
were just eating MacDonalds, the heathens.
After we strolled along the Seine, had a photo outside Notre
Dame and sat on Ile-de-la-Cite watching the world go by in the sunshine. And
now I’m nearly at the end of onslaught of visitors with only Pip left to come. But
with all this sunny weather I just know nothing can go wrong and who knows I may
even have a slight tan by the time I come back for Easter!
