Wobbly Bits and Beyond
Tues 13 June 2023 Walking gives me space to think. And to dream. And of course, it helps to burn off all those extra calories I consumed over our time away. Clive has managed to come back fitting his clothes a bit more easily. I, on the other hand, have not. I imagine it has

Bonjour and thank you for stopping by. My name is Renie and this is the story of my first trip (avec mon mari) to France. We flew into Paris and then journeyed south-eastward by car, through so many beautiful villages, to arrive in Nice. It was four weeks of amazingness.
