Joy in simple things
Tonight’s title is, as is my custom, inspired by my latest digital scrapbooking layout.
I used a lovely new digital elements kit from Weeds and Wildflowers called I “Heart” You as well as one of my favourite kits Loving You.
If you follow me on Twitter or FaceBook, you may have read that yesterday we went to a go-kart track to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday. I have made a mini slide-show – I declined to take part in the driving, but was official photographer instead. Having seen some of the bruises some of the competitors suffered from, I know for me it was the right decision! Appropriately the birthday boy was the winner, and we followed the karting with a great meal.
Did you notice my new Blog Header? I finally decided it was time for a change, and I have used a photo from one of our favourite picnic spots and view points from the north coast of Northern Ireland, close to Dunluce Castle. Now that I have learned how to do it, I will try to update the picture regularly.
Due to overwhelming demand (a few nice comments) I will continue to share some more Paris pics. Tonight’s photos are all about restaurant food, so if you aren’t hungry as you read this, you will probably be soon!
Part of the joy of a holiday for me, is wandering the streets looking at menu boards outside restaurants, guide book in hand, choosing our restaurant with care. My husband however, usually is too hungry to enjoy this contemplating, and just wants to eat, NOW! So it is a fine balancing act between us, where I have a limited time to consider the options, then we have to decide without further prevaricating! We seemed to have got this down to a fine art, as we had some delicious meals in some lovely atmospheric bistros, without major disagreement. Our meals included some classics of snails in garlic (not for me!), wonderful french onion soup, coq au vin, salmon risotto, rocket salad with baked goats cheese. We both share a passion for creme brulee and strawberry tarts and were never disappointed in Paris.
So how do you choose your restaurants on holidays? Let me know!
Hope I have whetted your appetite, and that you will return again for more foody photos, digi layouts and who knows what else…….
Until then, take care, and you could of course leave a comment!
