I don’t think that anyone’s life is quite complete until they have visited Paris. It’s the city of romance, of glamour, of sophistication, of fairy tales. And I’ve never been there.

Which, when you consider how close we are (well, relatively) to it, and how many times I’ve visited France (8), is a little odd. But easily remedied.

So next week, we are off to France! We’re going to spend a leisurely few days winding our way down to the South of France, then we’re having a week in St Tropez, then travelling back up through France, finishing up with the highlight of the trip (for me), two days in Paris. City of Light. City of Love. Gay Par-ee!!

Why am I telling you all this (apart from to make you pig-jealous, oh and also because I tell you everything)? Because it means another shop update this coming Sunday. Just a little one, small but perfectly formed, enough to tide you over until we come home. The next shop update after that will be September 21st.

So, lots of yummy previews to come this week. Then I’ll be bidding you au revoir for two weeks. And when I come home, I’ll be telling you the Big Secret. See, I do tell you everything. Just not all at once……
