More cheap travel



Having visited Greece with my novel before I got on to the computer yesterday, I then went on a quick trip to France, Paris in particular. This I did by jigsaw.

The picture is a very idealised watercolour image featuring the inevitable Eiffel Tower. As I complete the image I find Cole Porter’s song “I Love Paris” reverberates through my mind/soul. I think I hear my own voice singing, but maybe it’s Ella’s. Ella Fitzgerald’s version is the only one we have a recording of. Though I’m not sure it isn’t really Fred Astaire I hear. No matter whose voice I hear, I find myself smiling, my spirits lifting, a certain jauntiness coming into my movements.

This cheap travel is good.
