I have just started following your blog and enjoying, thanks! I checked out some past posts and couldnt believe where you lived and your view! You lucky thing! When ever I am lucky enough to be in Paris, I always visit le Palais Royal, and cant resist a bite and drink at Cafe Nemours as its such a great spot to people watch.
I cooked up vegies in oven last night..yummy with thyme. Thanks for hints.
I thought the locks were now on pont l’Archeveche now….glad to here they are finding their way back to Pont des Arts 🙂
Cheers. Jill (fellow queenslander.)

Hi Jill and welcome to another Queenslander! Where are you from? Yes we live in a very lovely place. Glad you enjoyed the vegetable bake. Next time you come we’ll have to meet up at Cafe Nemours.

Sounds good 🙂 I was born and spent the first half of my life in western district Victoria, then from mid 20’s on the Gold Coast. Im more of a country girl at heart..although I am quite obsessed with Paris! Je pense que j’etais une femme francaise dans un autre vie….with bad grammar!
I am so pleased to find that I am not the only one to think that they were French in another life. Perhaps we all knew each other and were amies in this other life 🙂
Do you think it is a female Aussie thing??

We spent several holidays at Surfers’ Paradise when I was in high school. Relationnel and I visited it a couple of years ago and I couldn’t even find the high-rise flats we’d stayed in on the waterfront. I think they’d been knocked down to build higher ones. I didn’t recognise a thing!
And welcome to the club of “femmes françaises dans une autre vie”!!!

Thanks for the welcome:)
Yes, the Gold Coast is nothing like it used to be…massive changes over the years, but I guess thats progress. Its now a full on city, rather than the slow paced beach hangout of the 70’s. I guess if one has to live in a city (my hubby’s work demands it) it’s nice to be by the beach.. unless you live in PARIS that is!! 🙂
Hope you cooked some crepes on the 2nd Fraussie..apparently a french tradition?? (or so I was told at alliance yesterday 🙂 )

I certainly did cook some crèpes last night! Fortunately it was family night so Thoughtful and Brainy Pianist (our Aussie exchange student) were there to help eat them! And Monday’s post will tell you how to make them.
