The five weeks that Juliette has been away has crawled by, but it is finally over and in a few hours I will be grabbing my camera, my bag and my passport and racing off to France. Juliette is already travelling and is probably sitting on the beach in Port Gentil having a drink right now before catching her flight out of Africa to Paris where she will meet me in the morning.

We will spend the rest of this week in Paris, then fly down to Pau to meet her parents and stay with Bob & Frankie. It sounds like the snow is holding in the Pyrénées, so we should be skiing next week!
