Us in Paris

The whole family is having a great time in Paris and making the most of what may be the last time we spend time together.

A huge day today with sightseeing, buses and boats...

Our apartment is above s very busy street with music and gorgeous smells wafting up. We are across the roadfrom the   modern art museum and a short walk from the Louvre.

At a typical English Fair

How frightfully English! The kids and I found a fair happening in one of the normally gated squares ( a beautiful garden space normally locked and not yo be used other than by local residents)

Greeting us was a Pimms table..


And then, beyond that was a coconut shy and tin can knock em down. I felt like I'd stepped into an Enid Blyton book.

To top it all off, to my delight, was a traditional Punch and Judy show. The kids were captivated... 



The dialogue as classic.. So funny. I think I enjoyed the audience participation of 'oh No She isn't!' Etc more than than the show.

The kids decorated cakes and tried their hand at the duck bob. Beautiful weather!!!


A Summer Drink..

Oh wow!! The kids and I met up with Age at a mutual friends- Karen and Davids.

It was so delightful to kick back with a Pimms and drink as friends. 



We are all fine. 

I will def have to add Pimms to my new favourite drinks.
