Grateful!

My title doesn't just refer to how grateful I am to have such lovely (and patient) blog friends. Your comments are always appreciated and I will be getting around to visiting soon I hope!

While we were away I had two falls - one which led to me having bruises on my knees, arms and nose(it's the part that sticks out furthest and I fell flat on it)I had been putting my purse away in my bag and tripped over a metal divider where workmen were fixing the car park - I fell into a fence but went down onto tarmac!
Fortunately hubby and some lovely Asian gentlemen (from London!)helped me up. My nose still hurts even though it was two weeks ago!
The second time was as I tried to push my suitcase off the escalator when we arrived in Paris - the exit ridge was higher than usual and I fell over my case and sat down hard on my bottom - it was really hard to get up and hubby was behind me - along with half the folk off the train!! A kind lady and a young man helped me to my feet - and I got some dirty looks from the people coming past me off the escalator! This time my other arm was hurt along with a toe and my bottom (which still hurts…a lot!!!)

While we were in Paris we visited some churches and while sitting in one of them I was able to collect my thoughts and give thanks for how grateful I was that I hadn't broken something or been cut badly!

My journal page for Elke's theme this time at Art Journal Journey - Landscapes Of The Soul.
  

Over our time in France we have visited some beautiful churches and I am always in awe of the way these churches were built and decorated, especially the Mediaeval ones.
I am still struggling to get my photos off my camera - I am having to go via hubby's phone and I took…..A LOT!!!!

These were all taken in a chapel with the Cluny Museum which is dedicated to Mediaeval History,(you can access some pictures but there will be more here …eventually!)

Thanks for looking, Chris
