Bastille Day in Paris
After a great solid sleep I awoke at 8am for a coffee, toast and a shower. We were out the door and headed to the metro by 9am, off to meet Zoe and Stephanie for the BD parade along the Champs Élysées. Once we got to the station I realised I'd left the battery for my camera charging in the house, so I headed back and we planned for me to meet them there. As I left the house for the second time I saw Arwen approaching and she let me know Stephanie was ...

Paris can’t always be a fairy tale-well it can- just remember for lovers not for families! Au revoir for ...
Le premier (ou 2eme ?) jour
... to the city for a haircut and some exploring. I had an easy morning skyping with Annabelle and downloading Merlin (**** I forgot to delete it from the computer after watching...) and I could see myself easily slipping into this routine without ever actually doing anything. My other auntie and cousin came over to visit on his lunch break and damn it he's a fair bit taller ...
