No place like home!


Bonjour mes Amis,

I am back home again after having the most fabulous holiday.
The joys of traveling, when people around you are not well and pass the flu on.
While we were waiting in the transit room about to board the plane from Sydney back to Auckland there was a gentleman coughing and not looking well.
We seem to have now developed a cough, sore throat and running a temperature so we visited the Doctor on Sunday morning. We are feeling much better today after drinking water, cups of tea and plenty of rest.

I want to say merci beaucoup for all your kind notes you left.
It seems as though I have been gone such a long time and I must say that I am very happy to be back home.
I'll be back soon to announce the winner of my giveaway and to share the photographs of my trip.

Have a happy week.
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. It's so nice to welcome you home dear Carolyn, I've been thinking of you enjoying your romantic escape to Europe!
    I'm sure it was all you dreamed of and more!
    Were there any brocantes or was it too early - I suppose Paris has them all the time now.
    Good to have you back safe and sound except for the sniffles, that's the downside of air travel... C'est la vie
    hugs

  5. Hi Carolyn! Welcome home! Hope that nasty cold doesn't get the better of you. Honestly, it seems to be kicking its way around our household a lot over the past many months. Somehow I missed your previous post! I changed the way my sidebar updates and time just seems to slip away of late. I have no doubt you had a wonderfully magnificent time. How did it go driving on the wrong side of the road? :) Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

  29. BIENVENUE MA CHÈRE CAROYLYN!!!! HOW WAS YOUR TRIP????? I am so happy that you came by to visit, even having perhaps a bit of jet lag and things to unpack!!!! Oh, I missed you! Now, let's start creating and blogging! I am glad you are better. THIS IS AN AWFUL TIME, at least for us here where it is 25 below zero farenheit! To be sick in this weather or any for that matter is NO FUN! Lots of tea does the trick, doesn't it?

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT and have a splendid day! Anita

  34. Carolyn,

    I do pray that you and all or you family are safe and unharmed. Saw the news of the earthquake this morning and immediately began to pray.

    I know Deanna will be doing the same.
