To be young, to be in love, and to be in Paris.
He once asked me, “When you were a little girl, did you ever think that you would be strolling down the Champs-Elysees?”
With a huge smile of wonder and amazement, I shook my head and answered, “Not really”.
Today, years later, I stroll the Champs-Elysees, alone with memories of the man who gave me Paris.
It is a beautiful day and I am happy to be here.

To me, the only thing better than being in Paris is being in Paris on a Rainy Day

Aww, I have memories of a man who “came to Paris with me” by way of London. It was last September. And ever since, I’ve been daydreaming of going back – perhaps this August. Love, love.

I too spent a very precious few days in Paris with my husband – it was our first weekend away on our own for sixteen years (having spent our time on family holidays). We re-discovered our relationship and what we loved about each other wandering the streets of Paris and it’s a time I treasure and can see that you do too.. x
