Entre Les Murs

Farewell to Mum

I took Mum to the airport bus today.  Four weeks with one's mother sounds like a lot, and to be honest we thought it might be, but if anything it was too short. 


After I left her at the bus stop, I walked Southeast for a mile or so.  I had to pick up a package that I left at the restaurant on Saturday night, but I walked because I don't know that area very well and after almost two years in Paris I still love to find new areas to explore.  There aren't many places in any city I've lived where after this much time there are still charming and historic neighbourhoods to stumble across.

These periodic discoveries have gained poignancy since we decided to leave this summer.  Janet has accepted an offer to be a VP at a prestigious company whose headquarters is in New York, so entre-les-murs will be within-the-bridges-and-tunnels come August.
