Everyday life, set against a bigger (& better) than average backdrop xx
When you’re in Paris, it’s worth looking up xx
Is there anything more French than the plat du jour?
It's freezing in Melbourne today. So I'm day-dreaming about sitting on this particular terrace. I'm not sure the owners would appreciate me just dropping in unannounced, but that doesn't matter if you're day-dreaming. Happy Sunday team xx
I don’t fully understand why, but Scotty seems fairly adamant. Apparently I can’t have chandeliers like these ones in our dining room. Feeling slightly disappointed with our low ceilings right now xx⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every arrondissement in Paris is ‘attractive’ in its own right. But the ones that make up Paris’ Marais district are particularly magnetic. It’s one of favourite areas to wander through in the early morning. But I also love to visit on a Sunday when the energy is super high. For the record, this photo wasn’t taken early in the morning nor on a Sunday - but I feel like it captures the beauty just the same xx
We were very tempted to head back to Lyon on our next trip. The food is awesome, and it’s an excellent base for day-tripping. And the light is beautiful. In the end we decided that we would save it for another time - but it’s safe to say that there is a whole lot to love about Lyon xx
Parisian details - they’re a feast for the senses xx
We’ve been able to travel from Australia to France for a little while now. Much to the surprise of many though, Scotty and I didn’t book flights the moment borders opened. For us, there was still too much uncertainty. We have lots of commitments here, and didn’t want to get stuck. Nor were we keen to book 24 hour flights while the prices were initially as high as they were.
