A very cold and windy friday evening in Place Verdun on one of the main square in La Rochelle. We are running towards the nearest cafe…well the rest of the tribe is, I am left behind …taken by the moving exchange between the sun and the windows squaring off the square…

    Thanks Sylvie, for the gorgeous ‘glimpses’. We are planning to re-locate from u.k. to La Rochelle later this year. I feel like I’ve got a friend already! (Don’t worry, I shan’t stalk you!) When I’m having one of my, ‘oh god, what are we thinking, tearing our daughter from her friends, expecting our dog to pick up a new language, will I cope without Topshop?….’ moments, looking at your pics, makes it all seem like a fab idea again. Ta.

    Hi Betty!

    Great we will have to meet over a cup of tea!
    Your fears are still very fresh in my head, you will be amazed how quickly your children/dog will adapt…I will have to be brutally honest…Top Shop (lack of it)is the hardest thing yet to digest lol….UK is never too far though….

    DP: You just can’t help yourself can you? Milk, sugar?

    What kind words. I feel as though I have just managed to sneak an extra dunk from a Bourbon.

  13. sylvied, on March 26th, 2008 at 6:26 pm Said:

    lol forget Bourbon and embrace Pineau ;)
