Picnic with a view



I decided to enjoy the spectacular sunshine & treat myself to a luscious picnic in the park. Except that it wasn't just any park. It was the lawn with the killer view.

I carried myself off to a Carrefour (yes mum, they're the chain who took over Pryca) and bought myself a sandwich, some raspberries and a single serve bottle of Rose. Indulgent, right?

I plonked myself down on the lawn in the Parc du Champs de Mars and settled to enjoy the meal. It was simple but super delicious. I was quietly going about my business (snooping on all the tourists who were all doing the most peculiar poses in front of the Eiffel!) when a little gypsy kid comes along and tries to steal my raspberries! But I beat him to it - quick as a whippet and threw one at him as he ran away... 

Then it was back to my people watching & sipping on Rose. Gee, this is the life.
