the latest
++ The last time I was in the old Le Petit Village, I noticed this Corsican flag waving in the wind… Child Bride’s parents hung it from the top of their apartment building. They aren’t from Corsica by the way, they’re from Marseille, but as every south of France dweller knows, there are some people…

France
A list of some places here in France that I’ve mentioned in posts (and where I can be spotted wandering around looking confused)… Aix-en-Provence – without a doubt one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s beautiful, charming, with great shopping and restaurants, and it’s main thoroughfare, Cours Mirabeau is considered the Champs-Elysees of…

the birthday boy's weekend
When I asked The Husband what he wanted to do for his birthday this year, he said, “relax“, that’s all he wanted. No BBQ or big party like years gone past, just a quiet weekend chilling out, preferably with a pool if I could swing it. Luckily I knew just the place… we could hang…

Lyon: one bite at a time
The last time I was in Lyon was over two years ago. The Husband and I had gone to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Unfortunately when we arrived home from our weekend away, we found out my father was gravely ill. My father’s passing has kind of marred that Lyon trip for me. I remember…

are we there yet?
This post is the result of three overtired ‘adults’ in a car on a road trip from Devon to London and our attempts at entertaining ourselves. The ‘adults’ in question are; Mrs. London, one of Mr. London’s little brothers (I don’t have a name for him yet) and me. Mommy London was doing the driving…

my trip to Devon
Sometimes you find yourself in places you never dreamed you would be (hello, Le Petit Village), life’s twists and turns dropping you off in some curious spot or another. A few weeks ago my path led me to a small fishing town in Devon in the southwest of England where Mr. London grew up. (Mr.…
