France

Rain Drops

While our guests were pointing their camera lens at the horizon, I had some fun photographing the tiny. The photo above is clichéd but it still looks great.

Carpet of Petals

For a few days, this tree carpeted the street with its falling pink petals.

Unexpected Recommendation

So, when Amazon.fr recommended a replica gun after we bought an induction hot plate, I have to wonder, how is the French store doing in comparison to the UK or US stores?

Singing

There have been more than a few disturbed nights since moving to Lyon. Noise from the street or neighbours disrupting my much needed quiet.

So Many Flowers

Each visit to our nearby Parc de la Tête d’Or brings a new wave of spring flowers to delight in.

Another Squirrel

Squirrels are out and about across the Parc de la Tête d’Or.

Escaping My Enclosure

I have looked forward to my first walk since surgery with delight. We often walk in the local park to escape our apartment and the trials of the day. So I dreaded being stuck inside while I recovered.

Recovering

I am back from surgery and recovering nicely at home. Megan is looking after me and doing her best to keep me from injuring myself. If anyone deserves sympathy it is Megan.

An Unwilling Encore

The week has been a swirl of emotion and activity. Once again I have found myself venturing into the French medical establishment. This time for something a touch more serious than a simple fall.

A Hint of Spring

The first spring bulbs are starting to appear in the Parc de la Tete d’Or.
