Just a gentle reminder for those of you, like me, whose winter days are currently swathed in near darkness…Above the clouds, so close to Earth, is a shining sun-filled sky. It is just there, on the other side, lest we forget. I know that I can. But that thought came to me this morning while walking the dogs on the quay of the Rhone River and it cheered me immensely. It was like taking a plane from drizzly Paris only to pierce into the Great Blue beyond…
There is still beauty here.
More on Tuesday with a By Invitation Only post, until then I will send you off with some lovely Schubert to keep you company. As a bonus, you can imagine yourself walking along the beach below instead of the quay above.
Have a lovely weekend…
I think we're going to be washed away by the rain here in the UK. Biggest rainfall for a century or something. I need some blue sky, some warmth – I'll go anywhere; I'm desperate, haha.
Yes hubby has family in Arles, Saintes Maries, Nimes, and Bellegard. Maybe one day…..meanwhile I will continue to go to Alliance Francaise and try and learn the language.
I did think the apartment in your secret location with the large patio had great possibilities. The outdoor space was amazing.
HANG in THERE GIRLFRIEND DIVINE……..The SUN will appear!
XOXO
The Shubert is a lovely gift for a sunday morning in Montreal…snow again on the ground…skies overcast…but when the sun shines here..it comes with a beautiful blue sky, so no matter the chill and endlessness of winter…I truly love being here.
Besides…February is the time ones starts to dream of Spring……
A welcome reminder as the rain in Rome continues to fall.
I would love to meet up. Yes we are headed to Provence at the end of the month. Heather, we have not spent much time in Arles or any time in the Camargue although red rice from Camargue is a staple at Bistro Des Copains. I say this to tell you we would be happy to come your way.
Beautiful walk with photos. I'm trying to decide if I can live in Holland 12 months fo the year. I usually spend 5 months in Texas in the Winter with my family. Hubby says we can't afford that anymore. I just don't know. It is soooo dark and wet there plus cold for a loooong time. But, I enjoy your blog so much. xo Jenny
Heather, that is a lovely reminder; that the grey sky is only a layer; that there is light on the other side.
When I opened up the shutters this morning there was-surprise!-sun outside! But cooold. So hang in there Lorrie and have a lovely Sunday.
Oh good, so glad to hear that Mrs. Abstract is home safe and sound–and that you no longer have to eat microwaved meals! And I really do think that you and Michel would get along–go say hi! I bet you would get a fine meal out of it to boot. But keep in mind that they are coming over here soon for a few weeks, so it might be worth a call to set it up. 🙂
