Be Inspired!

Between the ten-day getaway with my dear hubby up North – yep, I hit Finland again – and some blog bugs, I unfortunately haven’t  been able to write sooner. You dear blogland buddies have, nevertheless, been on my mind. I also recently learned that many “real friend” folks pop in on my world. How nice, a little ‘yey’ here to you too! So now I’m back, as renewed and refreshed as ever. Ready to take on some new wondrous adventures, for the near future mostly here on the beautiful French soil.

The symbol is strong. So pure in color. So simple, thus timeless. That must be why tourists keep on photographing the London underground logo – and locals keep shuddering their heads.

My enchanting ramblings about continue… tomorrow at dawn my best Parisian pal Sarah and I are heading up to London for a gals weekend out. On the program, the Tate Modern and the Tate Britain – comes as a no surprise that I absolutely feast on the former, all in doting on the latter too. Equally in view is a stopover at the Saacthi Gallery – some more modern art, a musical – we’ll get our places cheap on the same day since Sarah knows where to go, drinks at an inviting looking pub – we’ll choose one the go, and of course a dash of shopping as well as a Sunday stroll over to the Camden Hill park.
