We enjoyed a continental breakfast in the hotel before going out for the day. The decision is to join the L'Open Tour bus to see the sights. Yesterday's walk was difficult for John so we will spend more time sitting and getting off where we want to see something or change buses. Our ride starts outside Moulin Rouge. The bus takes us back to the Gare Du Nord (station) where we arrived yesterday to Place De Madeleine. It was interesting listening to the history ...

Rise and shine at 3am. Two hour car journey to Ashford Eurostar Station and then 2 hours on the Eurostar to Paris. The four hours passed very quickly. We arrived to the chaos that is Paris.

Whenever Les' attention was on Dee and me Mulder would sit on his haunches and want attention. They really have a close bond. He has many...

I had a quiet day today. Dee had started catching up on the washing from our trip to the Isle of Wight while she doing a few clients hair. Dee has a busy day today with more clients so I finished the washing when she left. Trevor spent some time sorting wedding photos and some from Megan so they could be printed. We made our way to Portsmouth where Trevor gets his photos printed but they won't be ready till about 2pm. This calls for another lunch out. This...
