Day 102 - Easily Pleased

This evening my neighbour dropped in a parcel in my hubby's name and I opened it to find this little beauty inside! I am one very, very happy wife tonight! I've wanted this book ever since I discovered Thomas Hoepker and my hubby managed to source a copy all the way from New York. I can see hours of perusing it coming up!

Day 101 - What a difference a day makes

It's it just typical, that the day you go back to work after a long bank holiday weekend that was grey and dreary (both in Paris and Wales), the sun shines from the heavens! This was the scene on Llanfabon hill as I collected the Black Beast from her weekend stay in the kennels. Blue skies, sunshine and a warm evening!

Day 100 - La Tour Eiffel

A nice stroll around the back of the Eiffel Tower before we headed back to the airport rounded off our weekend nicely. Despite the clouds and grey skies, we enjoyed ourselves and are counting down to our next planned trip in three and a half weeks time. This was the last shot of the weekend and a little adjustment in photoshop with the levels (putting what I learnt on my course to practise) and we have a picture that sums up Paris in one.

Day 99 - 20 Year Anniversary

A little known fact about my hubby is that 20 years ago this year he was part of the opening crew for Euro Disney at Marne-la-Vallee. Despite not having children ourselves yet, we had to go to commemorate the 20 year anniversary for him (this was our second visit as a childless couple and we were very glad to see it wasn't just us who didn't have children with them for the day!). It was quite busy as you'd expected for Easter Sunday and we patiently waited in line to go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! A few pics inside on the phone and voila, todays picture!

Day 98 - Advertising

Down in the metro on our way around Paris, I came across this collections of advertisments and just had to stop to take a quick snap on my phone. The mish-mash of adverts for all sorts of theatrical performances and concerts just caught my eye, as did the colours of the posters. And I thought it would make a really good picture for the day!

Day 97 - RER B

Every time we step off the plane it's like coming home! Off the plane, onto the RER B and into Chatelet to connect to the metro we need. It's good to be in Paris again!

Day 96 - Easter break

There is going to be another gap in the blog updates as my hubby and I are France-bound tomorrow for a much needed break and long weekend. While we're away we're hoping this fella will drop in and leave us an Easter egg or two for our good behaviour. He popped into work today to say hi, isn't he cute!
