A peek at Mrs Bok!

So I've thought long and hard about whether or not to post a pic of myself, not wanting to scare you away and all...

But I had to show you my French haircut!  It's much shorter than it usually is so now Miss Bok and I sport the same hairstyle! If you could see behind me you'd see my feathers. Being part hen and all. Ba-kark!  Bok bok bok...

 

This morning we are about to head off to the Loire Valley.  So sad to be leaving Paris behind. Am waiting for Mr Bok to collect us.  Driving is going to be an adventure...we've experienced wonderful French kindness and friendliness so far (people stopping us on the street to ask if we need help when we are looking lost, kind waiters, sweet shop assistants) but I'm prepared for this to all change once we start driving on the other side of the road...argh!  I'm scared!

Yesterday we visited the Musee D'Orsay, my favourite museum so far and walked around the Palais and the gardens eating ice cream.

 

 No photos are allowed in the galleries of the d'Orsay (so amazing!) so you'll have to be content with photos of the ceiling instead! 

 

Having a bite to eat in the sunshine 

 

Wonder where this violinist is headed to...?

  

 

 Lavender is in bloom and it smells heavenly

 Always gardeners tending to the perfectly manicured garden beds

Instead of pigeons on the squares of lawn where humans aren't allowed to tread for fear of ruining the scenery, I think chickens would make a much more attractive picture.

Statues are so elegant but pigeons find them handy too

Sigh, how lovely. Someone's boat with a car for the occasions they want to venture onto land!

Amazing shops

 

A dog's life in Paris is pretty special!  They are everywhere, lovingly cared for by everyone from waiters to shop assistants. And so beautifully groomed...

 

 

 

Oops! That's the car honking outside I'd better run.  Sorry my posts have been so brief but so photo heavy, haven't had a lot of time to write prose or anything thoughtful.  I'll see you in the Loire Valley next!  I hope my photo hasn't scared you away...please come back and visit!  I promise gardens of the French chateaux!!
