I just realise that I haven't been blogging lately. I think I've been too lazy to bother, which isn't good enough. I love, love reading other blogs and would like to think that someone out there is reading mine, but if there are no updates, noone will bother. These are some photos of La Defense area of Paris which for some reason I absolutely love. We stayed overnight here before we attended a wedding in Tours and just had a great evening wandering around after all the traffic hassle of our drive. La Grand Arche from Nanterre side Sunset Thumbs Up! One of the many sculptures in that are. Really modern, great buildings and really great views. Some knitting content next posting, hopefully.

As it's summer time, there's not much knitting or crafting being done, and so to keep the blog going I'll post some of my summer photos. And so more of Paris - A window in Printemps department store. All of the windows were themed with various coloured large Plastic Rabbits. Some even on the footpath/pavement. More of those later. Certainly eye-catching! View from the top of The Grande Arche at La Defense. Absolutely amazing! That's the Champs Elysee straight down the middle. Under the Arch Can't you see what really great weather we had. It was great.

Spent a glorious long weekend in Paris last month. The usual picture, taken from the 'Batobus' boat on the Seine in glorious sunshine. Some delectable looking pastries! Did not taste any as the queue was so long in the shop I did not feel like waiting.

View from Sacre Coeur, Montmartre over Paris. As you can see the weather was great. Had a great few days in Paris in April. I had not been before although I have been to other areas of France and really loved it. Would really love to go back again. How to advertise!! Le Grand Bistro, where we had dinner. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! And really delicious Cotes Du Rhone wine with dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!! A view of Notre Dame Cathedral in the beautiful evening sun. Funky fashion just inside the door of Galerie Lafayette On Sunday morning we wandered down to the the area known as the 'Marais'. Lovely little streets and plenty of little shops open too. In the Place des Vosges there were a number of little Arty shops and I was really fascinated to see these wonderful sculptures in one of them. You may have to click the picture larger to really see them. La Tour Eiffel at night (obviously) but when the lights all dance on the hour. R...
