(I'm also glad he loves blue, because so do I!)<br /><br />I come to your blog after visiting Paris last month and Peter kindly showed us part of the city. I've followed his blog for a long while and when we were talking blog, he mentioned you. I'm finally getting the opportunity to follow up on his recommendation!

It's also been interesting to see you explore lately some of the negative or difficult aspects of actually living in France - I guess this is the result of you seriously considering a move there? If you do make the move, it will be fascinating to see life in Paris through your lens, that's for sure. It can't be an easy decision, and though I've moved countries so many times in my life, I know it's never easy to carry out either. Though I've never yet regretted the experience!Pas Grand Chosehttp://athousandmiles-k.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-13960101380647086582012-05-27T17:19:52.537-04:002012-05-27T17:19:52.537-04:00The book is going into my shopping basket.

We painted our sun room's Ceiling light blue. One way of feeling like its sunny out, when its Winter gray, with yellow walls and a blue sky feeling. Maybe that's why I get more ideas out there. :)Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-50455340006562169522012-05-25T19:26:49.229-04:002012-05-25T19:26:49.229-04:00Couldn't finish my post.watched a Netflix movi...Couldn't finish my post.watched a Netflix movie where Parisian pools figured a lot..<br />Disappointing..but not the pools because it reminded me of your pool posts...La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-72047662881376294662012-05-25T19:24:59.443-04:002012-05-25T19:24:59.443-04:00I love blue.I do.
