I love France but I have never been there... my life is New Zealand is about 24 hours flight away...

Join me if you love to travel in your mind and appreciate all things French whilst being based firmly in 'your ordinary life'.

Happy Birthday to ME...

Today is my birthday, I have just turned... are you kidding?  think I would tell you??

Its been a stunning day all around and I feel tired from the heat and just getting out and about. Of course there was a bit of French flavour on my special day - firstly a trip to Yvonne Sanders Antiques in Auckland at 474 Manukau Road. I checked out the French tiles, chandeliers and furniture - nice, nice, nice but nothing really grabbed my fancy.

Then we made our way along to Newmarket where we checked out some shops we dont normally browse - book shops (oh my god, so many nice books on you know where), kitchenwear shops (French knives...) and ended up along in Parnell at Corsa De Flori (hope I  have spelt it correctly) and Cavit Interiors. A $46,000 dining table reduced to a mere $27,000 on special - I kid you not. Didnt buy that!!

Home now to relax for a bit and maybe read some of my new autobiography about an Aussie woman and her French boyfriend... bliss.

Enjoy your day - I certainly have
