Monday 14th September 2009

Whisked away to paris for a wonderful, childless weekend. It was glorious sunshine on saturday, but a chill in the air at night, and on sunday we noticed that autumn had sneaked into paris. So much coffee, fine food, photographs, exhibitions, being driven around in a blue 2cv, and beauty on the eye everywhere. Tourist-avoidance ensured a marvellously relaxing, though tantalisingly brief, couple of days. How bourgeois, but how enjoyable, the smiles never left our faces. Paris really is the city that never sleeps, although we did.
