Jerome came to spend a weekend with us in Paris recently. We managed to grab a few snaps. I particularly like how Daisy and Calypso managed to work their way into one of the shots.
Another set of photographs from a few weeks ago that I haven’t had time to upload yet. In this case, I think I will have to let a picture be worth a thousand words as I haven’t really got time to write much today. Suffice it to say the high-level summary is that:
– Julia isn’t so great with addresses, so we got a nice, long tour of the area before dinner
– Dinner was great
It is a small world — five days later I found myself sitting next to Julia on the Eurostar from London to Paris. What are the odds?
It has taken me ages to get these photos edited and online, but here are a few snaps of our game of boules in the park in late April. Depressingly, it was warmer and sunnier then than it is now.
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.
French customer service really is excellent. I realise that we live in a pretty exclusive part of town, but I never thought that the exclusivity would extend to this level…
I haven’t had much of a chance to update my blog in the past couple of weeks — I have been travelling a lot, and my client’s wife went into labour last week so I now have twice as much work to do with him out of the equation for a few weeks. I have been up to my eyeballs preparing workshops, and most of last week was spent in unglamorous airport hotels across Switzerland (but I did get a chance to catch up with some old friends, so all was not lost).
I will try to put a few more entries here in the next day or two, as this weekend and next weekend are both public holidays in France so I’ll have some time on my hands, but for now I thought I would just stick up a couple of the photos I have from a few weeks ago when Jerome came to visit us for a few days in Paris.
