Amy, Sally and I went to Paris to visit Nell. We arrived on Friday morning and, after checking into Jack’s Hotel, met up with Nell for a walk around her neighbourhood. We were drenched in a torrential downpour on the way back to her apartment, and sat eating cheese and drinking the Bordeaux she had picked up on her trip down there with friends. The next day we went to the Saxe-Breteuil marked near where she lives and picked up food for this picnic in the Jardin de Luxembourg.
