Jude - The Mad Widow Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Well I spent the evening in Paris, dinner at a brasserie with great wine food and company. I shall get the train home in a couple of hours. The weather here is disappointing and my coat is in my car! Here are a few pix just to show my parallel journey. 5 Quote

Popular Post Jude - The Mad Widow Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Posted June 6, 2019 HOME!!! Hoping for Binky to follow soon then I need someone to rebuild my engine... 🙄 Thank you to the guys who were my companions on the Switzerland tour particularly Gary and Geoffrey who worked so hard and so long. The driving was awesome, I will always remember the hairpins and chasing Geoffrey round the bends! I had disturbing bouts of ptsd particularly when my car was taken. I had to leave Brian's body in Scotland and bizarrely it felt exactly the same. A quick trip back on the euro star and lunch at the pub... What an adventure, I'm already planning my next one.. 11 Quote
