Left my heart in Paris










Bonjour :)

So a few months and no bloggin'...thank god says you ;) well I am back, and I will try not to stay away so long next time. These are just a few snaps from Paris, where I was for a few days earlier this month. I'm sure it needs no introduction, and I absolutely loved it, and I am very pleased with how the photos turned out! I can't speak for the friends I was with but I am faaaaar from the most photogenic person, and so most of the photos I have are from the landmarks, such as Notre Dame (I also got one of the back of it when we were on the boat ride along the Seine). I also got a beautiful coin to commemorate the 850th anniversary of Notre Dame, Our Lady. She's not looking a day over 21, haha! If you're wondering what the planes are in the sky, it was Bastille Day in France on the 14th July (for any of my Northern Irish readers, that's basically the French version of the 12th July celebrations). It was an absolutely fabulous day, I kept singing the songs from Les Miserables in my head, haha! We also saw the Montparnass tower, and the Eiffel tower from a distance :) no trip to Paris would be complete without either of these beauties!

Overall we had a lovely few days, and I am so thankful and grateful. I also got to catch up with some lovely friends we have over there too. I am especially proud of my friend who organised the entire thing as part of her Queen's Guide Award! It's now my turn to organise my exploration, and I am officially bricking it, haha.

I hope you are all keeping well. Where have you all been travelling this summer? :)
