Back in Scotland

We've made it back to West Linton and slept in this morning. My camera is filled with pictures of Paris, but I'm not sure when I will have time to upload, so please bear with me. The short version is that Paris is amazing. Le Louvre about killed me, L'Arc de Triomphe is better than I ever thought possible, Parisians are surprisingly kind, and le Metro is not all that exciting but very functional (except for the double-decker underground trains, which were very exciting to Gywnneth).

We spent our last day walking in Le Bois de Bolongne, a huge park in the Northwest part of the city. "Bois" means woods, and it was precisely that, with long interconnecting footpaths, a lake, horse-riding trails and more. The highlight was renting a rowboat for Gwynneth, the kids, Andrew and me. :)

So, apologies for such a short entry, but we're off to Peebles to buy scotch in a few minutes. Much love to you, especially mummies who are struggling with renovations.
