September already!!

I always think of September as the start of autumn, but the summer weather we had in June seems so long ago now. Having said that, this September weather is glorious and, without the excessive heat of June, is far easier to tolerate.

 I have been a little naughty recently and not posted as much as I should have! It's not that I haven't been doing anything - I've been quite busy. It's just that maybe I've been a bit too busy and haven't made as much space for blogging as I should have.

Last week Mr Dreaming and I went on a short break to Paris. We travelled out on Eurostar and stayed in a part of the city we have not explored before. Porte de Champerret was a good neighbourhood with plenty of brasseries and other eateries. Having been to Paris on several occasions we have done a lot of the touristy must sees and are more than happy to explore some of the less well known areas.

We revisited the Rue Moufettard with it's wonderful market stalls....

Admired the frescos on this House at the bottom of the street....

and then went on to the Jardin des Plantes where we liked this potager planted to inspire kids to grow their own.....

decided we thought the conservatories were not nearly as beautiful as they are at kew

admired the borders.....

and enjoyed some of the wildlife.....

Whilst there we strolled through the Tuileries.....

to the Louvre....

and also got a view of the Eiffel Tower....

and the Arc de Triomphe

I've not been idle with my knitting either. I have completed a couple of baby jackets, have another in progress and have started on a blanket throw - but more of that next time!!!

Thank you for dropping by.
