…Mes amis, I have been having so much fun with the book. I still have lots to do so I will not be back here in the (blog)house full time just yet, but I wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you! And that all is well.
I must confess, taking this blog break has been wonderful. For the first week or so I fretted, then I found a certain clarity, then all my ideas, words and vision came flooding forth – what a fabulous feeling! For the first time in a long while I don’t feel like time is running too quickly.
Anyway, I won’t chat for too long as I have photos to edit, just this little message for now. Oh, and I have still been checking out blogs every now and then when on my tea + chocolate breaks, and I found this gorgeous illustration by Krista Nyberg above from post carden – check out what it is exactly (hint: think portable garden gift), I love it! I found it via the beautiful read baron.

PS French Boy has just made crêpes for dinner – the smell is wafting through the boat. He is making crêpes au jambon and then we will have the rest for dessert with nutella. I’m quite sure I am in heaven.
Love it Pia, thanks for the link!!!

hi pia – – glad to hear the writing is going swimmingly, LOVE the mini garden (going straight out to get me one tomorrow – beats a window box!) and wonder if french boy has a brother that can visit london to make me some crepes too…deeply envious.
take care and look forward to your return when all’s said and written..

Sometimes a break from something can be so therapeutic, while you are greatly missed I’m so pleased you are having lovely moments…. and I’m sure the outcome will be so wonderful XXX

a new book? how dó you do it? and you seem to do it…
i have thoroughly enjoyed the paris one. as a young girl i visited paris often, having a dear friend in town, and well, loving paris. it was never too far away, from belgium.
now [if thalys is running accurately], paris is soooooooo much closer… you and your blog always remind me a little of the city.
i did go and find a shop you talked about in your book, in belleville! thank you for the tip!
