SDP on tour - Meeting Paris DP


 
I have thought a lot about whether to continue with Sydney DP and, yes, I want to. But I have very few pictures of Sydney I would consider worthy of publishing, so to fill the gap in transmission from Sydney I am going to go all self-indulgent and publish some pics of which I am particularly fond from my recent travels. And I want to tell some little stories.

Here I'm meeting a familiar face to many. A late afternoon cocktail in a lovely bar in Paris. And, no, he didn't get me drunk; despite appearances I could still walk a straight line when I left, and anyway, I ordered before the lovely, friendly Parisien appeared on the scene!

This was my first day in Paris (July 7) and I had already hit the sales and am here wearing a new dress from Le Bon Marché! (The cardigan made the journey from Australia, and very nice it is too; it was waiting for me to buy that dress)

    I gather that you are back in town, yes? I have no problems with a travelogue from other places. I do it all the time. Other CDPBers do it also.

    Go for it!

    After so many years its really difficult to find something you haven't shown before. I have no problems with looking at pics of elsewhere, do it myself whenever I can get to elsewhere.

    Sydney's smiling Sally sipped some scrumptious, strong summer sensation!
