Eiffel Tower

I take absolute delight in the excitement the  kids show when we arrive somewhere.

I'd been promising crepes and the Eiffel Tower  for a few days, so Morgan was beside himself when we finally got here.

The line up to wait was s bit of a drag, as was the double set of security checks.

So glad we opted for the elevator trip up and not walk up the stairs. My knee has started to play up after those stairs at the Arc de Triumph. Urgg got a huge day of walking tommorrow st Versailles too.. Never mind.. Will just have to suck it up.

Arc de Triuomph

Phew!! 280 stairs all the way up in a spiral stair case ..urgg. And this is what it looks like at the top of the stairs.

But as they say, the view from the top was worth it!

Age spent the day by himself whole the kids and I did the red bus hop on hop off touristy thing.

Yellow Roses..

I love flowers..a feeling of luxury and pampering for me is to have fresh flowers where I am.

A couple of days ago I decided to buy myself some, but couldn't bring myself to  buy carnations, once my favourite single stem. Nor could I buy red or pink roses... But this beautiful bunch of yellow roses and buds caught me.

Yellow roses for friendship. Yellow roses for jealousy. Yellow roses for healing pain.
