Paris
Warm. Cloudless blue skies. Leaves of every colour gently floating to the ground.
The outdoor café at the Louvre. Stone angels gazing on as the sun shines on the glass pyramid. The sound of water fountains, coffee cups and quiet chatter. Good coffee and good chocolate. Utter contentment.
A leisurely stroll down the Champs Elysees. A drink by the Seine. Mass at Notre Dame. Candles. Chatting with the rugby fans. Meeting friends. Admiring the view from the Eiffel Tower. An open topped bus tour on a beautiful autumn day.
Margate
A long evening walk on the beach. The twinkling lights of the ships settling down for the night. The moon shining over a still sea. Breakfast on the cliffs.
Emergency medical treatment for a severe allergic reaction to an insect bite. Consolatory chocolate.
Lunch by the beach. An afternoon mocha and cake.
An evening drive through the countryside.
Hastings
A Georgian country house. Dinner in the garden room. Sunset over the trees. A solitary breakfast in the conservatory.
Tea and cake.

Sounds like a wonderful trip (sans the allergic reaction to the insect bite!).
Welcome back!
Wow, you slid that medical treatment in there like it was nothing more than a walk on the beach. Glad you're ok, and otherwise it all sounds fabulous!
