Printemps et Pique-nique

The sun and spring have arrived in Paris. I have now gone an entire week wearing only my light coat sans scarf, I mean I was actually almost TOO warm the other day...

So of course, one must 'profiter' or make the most of the good fortune, hence as much time outdoors as possible, and even when indoors, gazing longingly out the window. But also organized fun in the sun is a must, so it was a lovely saturday afternoon with a picnic in the park buttes chaumont, complete with fabulous friends, excellent conversation, and of course food and drink (along with some excellent bubbly, thank you Joyce and Richard!) I especially enjoy sharing specialties from home, such as whip cream that we did use mostly for the strawberries (yay strawberry season) but also for the tip the head back and spray a nice whirl into the mouth trick. Admittedly it was mostly the americans who were enjoying (thanks for joining me, Em), but still I know the rest went home with plans of trying the same :)

Then it was an evening meal to bid adieu to Peter who will be heading off to another internship in England soon. He and Clara made an amazing Austrian dinner for everyone, which I have plans to try and duplicate soon.

All in all, well fed and a bit tired from being in the sun all afternoon, I will sleep soundly, xxoo
