Its so hot today - not that I am complaining as Auckland has had the absolutely lousiest summer imagineable - its rained and rained and rained. Today however has been a beautiful day, but too hot to go outside and do things. I have been reduced to sitting outside on the deck, under the wide umbrella, reading the paper and letting smell of my new Eyoca candle waft over me. Normally I am a 'vanilla'or 'floral'candle kind of a gal but this time, I stepped outside my comfort zone and bought Lemongrass and Ginger - beautiful.
I had heard about these candles and wanted one for ages but just too expensive - but now I am a convert. Think I might buy shares in the company!!

Well its been a long time
but I am still here and still loving all things French - sorry my friends that I have been absent for a while - well nearly a YEAR but literally, STILL, not a day goes past that I don't meander over a website about my favourite country, see something about it in the news or do some french dreaming... So I have decided to reconnect with myself and do what I set out to do, some writing about the thing that I love to dream about. Do check back again as I reconnect with myself!!
Writing (and day dreaming) about France was not my only purpose for this blog - for years there has been a desire buried deep down in me to do some writing but what to write about? I think so many of us think we have the next thoughtful novel buried in our minds or just want to take to the page to put things down and make sense of things.
I read some regular blogs and one of my favourites - French Essence - she had a great post which I printed out and kept which talked about the discipline of writing and how its like any skill that you gotta work at baby! So stick with me for a bit longer as I hone my thinking and explore. Apart from being a mental traveller I want to ask myself "is there a writer in here somewhere"....
Plus its my last year before the big 50 so if that does not get you thinking about your life and goals (well known and secret ones) I dont know what will.
Speak soon
