"I KNOW what you did this summer" a sinister voice trills down the phone line. Horrified, my head automatically rears up, my eyes widen in horror. ( Cue theme music from Psycho shower scene or Uma's deadly snow scene in Kill Bill) I stare helplessly at the receiver "You know what I did?! How...do you know that?" I gasp. Oh, that's right - there are no secrets these days, what with all my twittering and online social networking. Here's a flash-back of how my summer was spent - are you ready?
My summer was spent in London- Milano-London-Norfolk-Paris-London. It went something like this -
Sweltering-Heating-Milano-Shopping-Sunshine-English-Countryside-Rain-Clay-Pigeon-Shooting-Spa-Rabbits-Ducks-Family-Sailing-Mother-Paris-Croissants-Lust-Hermes-Heaven-Sunshine-St-Pancras-Station-Home. Deep sigh.
I posted a few snaps on my earlier enchanted Paris post,
here - and as promised, below are a few more pictures from that trip, for your pleasure. My Milano trip, I have blogged my pictures
here, it was mostly for work in a parallel universe but I got to check out the famous designer shopping streets in the evenings and the old town when I caught with a dear friend who lives there.
Lucky him! I hope you had a wonderful Summer!

A/N: I could rabbit on about Paris, its a beautiful city, perfect to walk around and after a day of trekking and shopping, my favourite thing to do was relax in my local hood early evenings, so many lively cafes to hang out in and of course, old friends to catch up with. You must go there! I am already pondering my next trip.
Thank you to the lovely
Michael Di Gesu for hosting this Super Summer blogfest, do check out the other entries! Wishing you a lovely weekend! Talei xox

I just love Paris. My fave is waking up to a cafe crem and pastry. No one quite does it like the French.
And I do believe Musee Do'Orsay is my fave museum in Paris.
Thanks for sharing your great pics!
I am so ready for a stroll down the Champs Elysees and to sit at a cafe with you for a lovely latte.
Wouldn't this just be the perfect place to meet a blogger friend?
Thanks so much for sharing Paris with us. Enjoy the weekend with a martini in one hand as the sun sets over London.

Pk, merci beaucoup! I love waking up on holiday in Paris and not rushing about - slow breakfasts and lazy strolls. Me please! x
Michael, Paris would be the perfect place to rendezvous with a blogging buddy - DO let me know if you're ever in this neck of the woods, we shall have that latte on the Champs Elysees... and some champers! ;-)
Erica & Christy, you're welcome! Hope you're enjoying the Fall where you are! ;-)
