Yesterday afternoon, I took the train on my own, to go to Paris. Forty five minutes later, I was in my favorite craft shop (Bouchara). Bought lots of yummy felt & some fabrics, threads too.
Then Chris & I met & we went to Ladurée to buy macarons. (see my Flickr pics, link on the left). Then we went to an Italian restaurant & had a very very yummy meal, only him & I. Blissful. Then, after a stop in a Scottish pub for a latte, we went back home.
Today we decided to go back to Paris, but with the boys & my mom. We went to the Luxembourg Gardens first (see Flickr pics)
... we walked a lot, went to the Ile de la Cité, we we saw a gorgeous flower market. (see Flickr pics again !)
We walked along the Seine River (river crossing Paris) & then, after quickly visiting Saint Sulpice church, we went to Coolin's pub to have lunch. After that we went to a very passioning museum. It would be too long for me to explain, but it shows all the first inventions. I do want to go back again, but without the boys, who weren't interested that much, except by trains, tramways & such.
In a word, it was a busy start to the weekend, and though we'll stay home tomorrow, I'll have lots of housework & cooking waiting for me. It's getting late, my friends, I shall stop now & go to bed. I hope you all had a nice Saturday. XOXOXO Big hugs !!
