So I know that this is a lame effort to find a theme for the letter L, but what can I say, I am trying to kill two birds with one stone, as they say.
Paris in July is an annual event that is hosted by Tamara at Thyme for Tea. This is the tenth year that the event has been run. I think I have done it maybe three times over that period. I always intended to do more.
When I started blogging again this year, one of the things I was looking forward to was this event. A whole month of posts about Paris and France, and the bonus was I would have been in Paris in April so would have lots of our own stories to tell about the fabulous time we had in Normandy and Paris! Alas, destiny had other ideas!
Instead, my plan is to share some quotes, some memories, maybe a little of this and a little of that. I do have a ton of books set in Paris on my ereader so maybe I will read one of those. Your guess is as good as mine, but there will be something over the next few weeks!
And I am looking forward to seeing what the other participants share over the current month.
I'm sorry your trip was cancelled. We just got in under the mark in February when we took our trip.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay. We would have been back for months by now, and already planning our next trip.
DeleteI'm so sorry you weren't able to go to France this past spring. I've never been, but I do enjoy this monthly challenge, which I've participated in a few times.
ReplyDeleteThere'll be another chance once the world starts to go back to closer to normal.
DeleteMy Family was due to Go to Italy this Month. Losing out does hurt. Looking Forward to Reading your posts
ReplyDeleteIt does, but it's outside of our control!
DeleteYeah we went to Normandy in 2018 and really had a great time taking in the sights and studying the history of WWI and WWII & the battlefields etc. Who knows when anyone can get back there! Not traveling is harsh ... though if you can't go -- it's nice to read Paris novels.
ReplyDeleteWe were so looking forward to the Normandy part of the trip..
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your trip. This year has been a tough one!
ReplyDeleteIt has been tough. But I have my family, my health so it could be worse.
DeleteI'm sorry you guys had to cancel your trip. Hopefully we can all get to travel again next year. Looking forward to at least doing some armchair traveling through this. I'll be posting about it soon.
ReplyDeleteWe have the start of a plan for where to go next year but it is going to depend on a lot of things.
DeleteI can see the M for memories, n for notre dame, o for opera national de paris posts coming our way :-D
ReplyDeleteNow if I could only think of something for p?
Haha! You are right on at least one of those!
