Dreaming of France.

I've always been in love with anything French - from the music, their pastries, to their furniture.  So, as a 1st wedding anniversary gift to ourselves, my husband and I headed for the land of Pastis and pastries.


Planning the trip became my favourite obsession and I spent every moment when not at work, researching, comparing and booking our route.  


The plan was to walk Paris flat for 3 days, before making our way to Provence, where we'd rented a little cottage, from whence to explore and experience their gorgeous wines, chateaus and truffles firsthand.


The hardest thing for me to do, was that of leaving my little Yorkie, Molly, behind. She fits snugly in her little bag that goes everywhere with me and has grown up with French music constantly playing in my home - so she would have fitted in perfectly amongst the other Parisian ladies and their pooches.  


In the end, after a frantic half day at the office, I left Molly with very willing 'puppy-sitters' (aka my parents), and we boarded our flight to Paris.  


Vive le France!
