We’re on the Eurostar, rocking gently at something like 180 miles per hour, heading to the UK after a wonderful week in Paris. We’ve walked from one end of Paris to the other, eaten lots of fromage and saucisson, and just enjoyed each other’s company after 8 months apart.
Lovely surprise – Col and Bec had plotted for her arrival two days early, so what I thought was an early evening wander ended in a big hug with our beautiful Bec in the forecourt under the spires of Notre Dame.
So some photos below of our week: Col and I at Versailles, before Bec arrived; then the three of us walking up the Eiffel Tower (711 steps to the second level, including the 9 up to the ticket booth!); the Batobus on the Seine at sunset; pizza on the Champs-Elysées; wandering the streets around Saint-Germain-des-Prés; Luxembourg Gardens; a canal cruise on the Canal St-Martin, with the rushing waters of the locks; and climbing the winding stairs of Sacré Cœur for the view over Montmartre (294 steps according to Bec).

Actually, more photos than I had planned – but it was very hard to choose!
Now just a few more days till Dane joins us as well - he's on his way to us as I write, and we can hardly wait.
All our love to everyone xxx
