and no school. Lots of picnics and lots of ball games. Lazy days, good days…

I was welcomed to our earth some many years ago. I still hope to stay for many more… hope to learn more, find & pass on more, share and smile more…

Thanks for the life – I treasure it.

Mr K! Happy… to you! We’re happy with you… xxx

Your children are not your children.

Ah Paris Paris. Je t’aime? Hmmmm maybe we have to go there only the two of us again, without the kids, and find the real face of this city again, but at the moment I’ve no sentiments. This time I loved the Louvre and I love those 3m of fabric I bought (yep, you can find lots of beautiful, in many colours and patterns, heavy, or vintage linen, but boy, the prices!) from a cluttered fabric shop near Le Sacré Coeur. Ok, the cheese is good… and French language is beautiful. And I love their cinema. Book stores. The tune. But there is no love for the city of love…

Louvre museum

ah – this place is overwhelming! Sooooo huge, so interesting… at least for the adults

I would spent a day in this building. On my own.

imagining, pretending, admiring

Tuileries

another tourist destination – Sacre Coeur

and the famous view

we took the train, we went to Paris.

On our way

we did see the ashes that keep the metal ‘birds’ grounded…

impressed our kids with the Notre Dame

found the Pompidou Centre closed

got surprised with the amount of people everywhere, restaurant prices, impressed with the selection at the big supermarket, the weather (!) and our kids. Day 1 – done. Two more to go.

Picnic in the park, long walk and a long sleep afterwards.

Days like this one are nearly perfect. No rush, no care. With sun and lots of smiles. All with little effort. All in a big city.

London can be so nice.
