A five-day weekend to follow a three-day weekend – I am definitely beginning to warm to the French sense of holidays, and the time off has finally given me the chance to dig out a few more photos that I haven’t had the chance to edit yet and get them posted on my blog.

Here are a few from the Jardin du Luxembourg, where we spent several hours baking in the sun a few weekends ago, enjoying the first really warm weekend of the year. This weekend has turned out to be another beautiful one, so we are planning to spend most of it outside. Aude’s father arrived today and spent a few hours with us before heading north to spend a few days with family – he will return later in the week with Aude’s mother to spend a few days with us later in the week.
