T Stands For The Start Of Our Trip To Paris

Hi everyone, I missed you last week. Our journey home took longer than expected thanks to Avanti West Coast trains!

Our journey to Paris went very well though! 

We had time to have lunch at The Hansom at St Pancras Station.

It is somewhere I have wanted to go to for a while but usually we only have time for a quick snack.

It was quite a warm day so we both chose salads - mine was my favourite Caesar and hubby had Niçoise. We shared a pot of fries. We both opted for water as our drinks and it is these I am sharing at T Stands For Tuesday at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's Altered Book Lover blog.

It is quite a grand place as it used to be part the entrance for the station and is accessed from the station from the old booking office which is a rather grander restaurant. 

We had a good journey to Paris and when we arrived had lovely welcome from the receptionist

In our hotel room there was a lovely, surprising welcome from the manager.

She had written us a lovely welcome note and left us some chocolates.

We saved them until Easter Day and can report that they are delicious. 

We had a good catch up the next day before setting off on a very long walk.

Here is the view from our room.

We took a better photo of this at ground level - it is part of an art trail and this particular wall art changes every year.

This is on the opposite side of the road

I love to look out over the rooftops - were on the fourth floor of the six storey hotel

The roof garden at the centre of this photo fascinates me. The owner has added new things over the years.

Here is a close up I took a few years ago. 

That's all for now.

Next time I will tell you about our long walk.

Thanks for looking, Chris
