Greetings from the UK.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Thank you, Andrew! Although the Paris Journal hasn't revealed it yet, my wife and I were in the UK for four nights during our month "in Paris." At some point sooner or later, I will post accounts of our crossing of the English Channel with a Welsh friend, driving with her to Cardiff, visiting her there, her driving us to Ealing, our walks around Walpole Park there (where we met a jeweler named Alfred, who I though for a moment might have left your comment), and our visit to Kew Gardens.
