Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary
cooking up a storm at the edge of the world
The third, and final, post in my Paris series. The morning of my last day in Paris dawned bright and clear. I walked what had become a very familiar route over the last four days along the Esplanade de Villes into the city centre, enjoying the tranquility and the golden glow of the early morning. …

I lost my blogging mojo a little bit since the New Year. Things have been incredibly busy of late, with me often working on several different projects at the the same time in between juggling home and child-rearing responsibilities (oh, and getting married!)
