Les choses de la beauté...

Well, here we are again; another week where time seems to have been on fast-forward. I have been having those sentimental thoughts again - you know how partial I am to them. You see I am returning to work next week...whaaaaat? I know, I KNOW, but hey, it's time. More of that next week, but in the meantime I am wallowing in the 'this is my last free Friday' feeling. I have a quiet weekend planned; settling in to a book and eating well. Conserving energy and getting fresh air.

Thank you to my wonderful guest bloggers this week...I have really enjoyed these diaries of others. More to come, but in the meantime thank you so much for your kind and supportive comments.

Things of beauty this week is en français, well just because, juste parce que pourquoi pas? So chic...so why not? You know how French women have that style, that elegance; how do they do it? Oh to be more like them! Enjoy...

    I can teach you how to do French plaits Lou .... I used to do them every morning after breakfast for my daughter !! I'm a dab hand at them and, although it's been some time, it's a skill you never forget !!
    Trés jolie images as always ..... have a lovely weekend and enjoy work when you return next week. XXXX

    Hello my friend! I hope you are enjoying this weekend very much—before the new week and work! As for your post today, it is lovely... I want to be in the picture by The Sartorialist right now, enjoying a lunch in Paris... *sigh* soon enough!

    Warmly,
    Sarah
