I know - it's been a while since I posted, and that's not like me. Sometimes I post more than once n a single day! But I have my reasons, and it's not just the spinning, though I have been pretty busy with it.
I've actually been in Paris for a few days. Paris, France. Yes - the one with the Eiffel Tower...
...and I met my blogging friend Quilterliz for a coffee. How cool is that?????
I love this World Wide Web (thank you Tim!)
It was the first time I've been in Paris when it has snowed - and it was a magical experience. We were going out for a birthday celebration meal (not mine) and decided to walk and then get the metro rather than use the Autolib' car system that we had planned...
...but that was OK.
We had the MOST fantastic meal at the Roseval restaurant in the 20th arrondissement - I do wish we had some decent eating places in the limousin!!!!!
I came back home on Saturday evening and woke up on Sunday morning to another white world...
...but it almost all melted away with a bit of rain today, so at least I can get out of my house now!
I stayed in the fantastic Canal Apartment which is next door to my son's flat and a very convenient location.
I took my knitting, of course, and managed to finish Marcus' socks while I was there!
Now I'm back to my spinning and trying to knit almost as fast as I spin the yarn (a new problem for me)!

Looks like you had a great time in Paris. Fab snowy pics too. :-)
Maybe you would like to snap something that has made you smile to link on my blog?....after all we can't have too many smiles can we?

Lovely snow and great socks - I've just started my very first pair and have won the battle of the heel!
Looks like you had a great time in Paris - I am soooo jealous!
'the one with the eiffel tower', lol.
Gosh Penny, those snow photos are absolutely stunning! Especially the first one.
I loved this post. Whisked me away, it did.
cheers

Sounds like a fun trip. Of course, the big question is: "did you go to La Droguerie?!"
As opposed to Paris, Texas?
I've only ever been to Paris in the spring. Glad you had a lovely time. It's nice meeting up with online friends.
We've had snow here in the UK too. It's still here, no sign of a thaw yet.
It looks like a wonderful trip Penny and your garden looks so pretty in the snow. Love those socks - one day I must get around to making some myself!
It's great to read your news - I think I need to encourage one of my sons to move to Paris too; it sounds so convenient... only a few years now. I've mentioned you and your helpful advice on my blog post today. Bet you can't guess which bit of advice it was!
