O Bj, so sorry, it should have been Napoleon, not Nelson, I will change it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sending pm.

Ah, you lucky lady Cinderella, thats looks wonderful....Happy New year xx

Thanks Moti.

Hb. Thanks, it was quiet on the water but not in the city.

HNY Cinders....What a smashing way to spend Christmas -pictures are super. Please you had a good time :)

You lucky lady, although we have visited France many times we have never been to Paris, so pleased you had a good time, loved the photos, so clear, obviously the weather was good to you, a very Happy and healthy New Year to you. x

HI Sylvia,
What a difference, you do sound perked up and chirpy...It did the trick then, nice tonic...Glad you enjoyed yourself...
Lovely clear shots too...
Sue xx

Thanks Scottish, Happy New Year to you too.

DD, thank you, it was such a busy place, and the lights in the evening were fantastic, especially the Eiffel Tower.

Thanks Sue, I enjoyed it very much.

Happy new year, so pleased you had a lovely time, i love coach holidays but never been on one at xmas time.

Thanks Clarice, first time for me at Christmas too. Everyone so friendly, and we had a raffle for charity, drinks and mince pies and sweeties on board too.

Nice when it's all organised for you,Cinders..no hassle of all that preparing at home.Two of my neighbours have just come back from a Christmas and New year break too.Both widows,and aged 81 and 85 ! had a great time at a hotel in Bispham,near Blackpool..not far from you,Carol ..and a mini bus included to take them there and back !I think we will be doing coach holidays here,this year,and not going abroad..just been browsing through brochures :o)

Yes, more and more I am thinking along those lines Sandra. You meet nice people too. I'm not really bothered about going abroad either. My friend likes to go where it is hot, but I would rather have the english weather when it can be relied on, and there are so many places in this country that I haven't seen yet.

I know what you mean,Cinders..and lots we haven't seen yet either..although if we had a windfall at some point? ..and I don't mean apples..could do both !:o)

Lovely blog, Cinders ... beautiful blue sky pics ... sounds as though you thoroughly enjoyed your Christmas break in Paris ... well done! ... :o)))

Thanks Shirley, I did enjoy it.

I meant to ask you if the food was good French cuisine ... or traditional Christmas Day fare for the Brits?! ...

It's nice to do something different. It looks as though you had good weather during the day as well.

We were very lucky with the weather Frybo, and it wasnt really cold either.
Shirley we had Salmon the first night with a cream sauce, Lasagne the second night and chicken with mushrooms and onions and dauphinoise potatoes on Christmas day, and roast veal the last night, but it was very lacking in vegetables really. Couldnt wait to get home for good old veg.

Well, it reads like an interesting varied menu ... shame about the lack of veg. though ... I hope you have not had any storm damage to your garden? ... :o)

No, I've been lucky really, no major problems, except a short power cut.

Thank goodness for that, Cinders ... just means re-setting anything digital ... grrr!

F inally got to look at your blog, its beautiful, so glad you had a wonderful time, got your email last week, will PM you shortly

Glad you enjoyed it Yorks, thank you.

Ohh! How'd I miss this! I didn't know you were going away, Paris is lovely, isn't it! We went on a college trip way back in 1980, and Keith took us for St Val's day a few years back. It sounds as if you had a magical time! I hope the rest of your year is as happy and healthy!!xx

Thank you so much Libet, thats very kind of you, and I hope you also have a lovely and healthy year.

Cinderella WoW! Thanks for sharing with us this wonderful historical scenery
