Neglected blog!!

This blog has been sadly neglected over the last week due to lack of time, opportunity and photographs! Sarah and I have been in London and Paris and she was the official photographer with her own camera. So...I am awaiting some picutes from her when she returns home to Oz. She is in the air as I write. We have had a fabulous time over the last 3 weeks and tried to make up for the 6 months that we have not seen each other. Highlights I guess were catching up with my nephew Andrew and girlfriend Kitty in London, seeing Billy Eliott in the West End, and also visiting the Louvre again. On our first night in Paris we went to an outdoor cafe for an evening meal. A Parisian guy about my age and his mother sat very near to us and a conversation sprang up in broken English and very broken French. After about an hour of this the elderly lady who spoke no English at all, insisted on paying for our drinks! So much for the arrogant French..our experience was the opposite. This is our last working week for 6 weeks and we begin a 3 week adventure in Western Europe next week.
