Quick visit from Paris

We didn’t get a lot of time to recover from our lovely holiday in Italy, until it was time to welcome some visitors. Sarah and Bruno, our dear friends from Paris, were stopping over for a night this time, on their way to Corsica for their holiday.

It gave me a good excuse to get out of the office for a late lunch (due to some car trouble, our guests arrived a bit later than planned). Gave me a sort of “soft start” to life in the office…

For dinner, we sampled some of the Italian delicacies we’d acquired during our road trip. Tuscan wine, a rather delicious-looking snake-shaped Umbrian pastry was on offer, and some ice-cream with balsamic vinegar (the real thing, from Modena) to finish off… As always, we had a great time with Sarah and Bruno.

The next morning, it was time to say bye bye, and wish them a good holiday on “L'Île de Beauté” (and good luck with their car).
