Great day out with the Gals in Parc de Sceaux .....

Back in May of this year,

we all met up for the afternoon at

Parc De Sceaux.

Dawn, Leesa, Barbara and Jennifer

We had a lot of fun, and the day

brought two of my

friends together,

Barbara and Jennifer.

I think I am right in

that Dawn and Jennifer

had met before.

(forgive me if I am wrong).

Parc de Sceaux is located

in the southern

suburbs, 9.7 km (6miles) from the

centre of Paris.. served by the

RER line B.

UPDATE :- I was wrong!!

This was the first time

Jennifer had met Dawn too!!

How wonderful that I

brought them altogether.!

This includes Leesa, as I was the

first one to meet Jennifer.!

A Big Thank you - two wonderful friends..........Rosa and Lucy

How blessed I am to have wonderful friends,

not just in the UK
BUT
all over the world!!

Yesterday I had two surprises

in the post...

My first huge surprise came from my

lovely friend Rosa (Scintilla) who spends her

time between

Luxembourg and Positano.

A fabulous book and postcard...

I was amazed and very happy.

Rosa knows I have a love for Italy,

so this is such a wonderful gift.

Her blog Bell'Avventura is full

of wonderful photos of Positano

and the Amalfi Coast.

Not just photos, but lots to read too!

I love reading and seeing the beautiful sights

of any part of Italy, but especially Positiano!!

Go on .. have a look, you will not be disappointed,

you will want to book a trip!

Rosa and I have been following each others blogs

for quite a while, also connected through Facebook

and are really good friends.

Even though we have never met.

I hope we do one day.

The second was from my great friend

Lucy from Pickering, Ontario.

Lucy and I have never met either,

but connect through blogging and Facebook

and have spoken on the phone.

Such a shame I never got to

see her on my trip to Montreal,

too far away for my short trip.

A beautiful card of Algonquin Park, Ontario.

Lucy has a wonderful blog,

On my way 2 work and Other Stuff,

with fantastic photos of Sunrises/Sunsets,

places of interest, her family and lots more!

I hope you get a chance to visit her too!

Big Thank you to you both ♥♥

Always have your camera ready......

Whilst in Paris in May, I

ran down to get the metro,

and saw this, just had to snap away,

even went a long the platform

but didn't miss the train!

Little bit more of Oxford......

A few weeks ago,

I met up with my friend

Caroline, not to shop,

just to have a coffee and

a walk about!

This photo is from Paris.....Caroline, Leesa, Barbara and Me!

I took Caroline up to St Johns College

which is where I went with

Leesa and Barbara.

We then thought we would go to a museum ,

but on the way we found

Keble College..

A first for us both!!

We had a fun day out as usual... hope you enjoy too!!

We did get to the museum but my battery died in my camera!!

A postcard just at the right time - Thank You Leesa !!

Paris is a place I love to be.

A place where I have lots of
great friends.

A place where we meet up and go for

a petit cafe ou verre de vin

and a chat !!!!!

I was missing Paris today as
my youngest son and his girlfriend

went today for a 5 day trip, and

at the weekend we had the books

out and the maps.

And look what came through my letterbox today!!

A lovely postcard from Paris ... sent by my great friend

Leesa!!!

It was like it was meant to be for this day ♥

An Award for you ....Thank you to you all ……

for all my wonderful comments and my new readers.

I have tried to reply to you all and call into

your blogs. If I have missed you,

Sorry, I will be over to you soon.

This is for you all.

I do hope that you put your award on your blog!

A day out to The Parc des Buttes Chaumont.........

Leesa and Barbara

We decided to venture a little bit further afield to

Parc Buttes Chaumont, a fabulous parc , it is wonderful to walk around, up and down too

I think that you can click on the photos and enlarge them .

The Parc is is situated in the

19th arrondissement at the Rue Botzaris

and has two metro entrances, Botzaris and Buttes Chaumont.

A brilliant day out.. Thank you to my friends!
