Sacre Coeur, flea markets, catching up with friends

This morning Jess came for breakfast. Jess is a gorgeous girl, friend of  Mel's, I met her last year. English, went to drama school in Paris, works in France in theatre, so much fun. Then we have Stacey and her mum Ann, lovely new friends from Palmy who bumped into Crys on the Eurostar and after chatting, realised they were connected via Amelia! So after breakkie we all met up and headed to the northern flea and antique markets.
Interesting area, wouldn't come here as 2 girls alone, but there were 10 of us. Antique markets were just fascinating. Other markets full of typical hawkers, some rather pushy.

Since we were in the vicinity of Sacre Ceour we walked there, buying baguettes for lunch on the way. Sacre Ceour was crowded, but still one of Paris' beautiful sights. Christmas markets at the back - we bought mulled wine which went down nicely. Family photos, then Jess and Mel headed off, the rest of us came back to the apartment in dribs and drabs - Paul & me first to get dinner in the oven, then the others. Lovely to see Stacey and Ann, they made today more fun.

They left, Mel arrived, Ali and I went for a long walk, special times. 
Home for dinner, the  new game Crys taught us - video on FB - hilarious, thought we would go through the floor at times.



So, another full, fantastic, family day is over. Loving this. 

Heads up!
