THE MARCH’s BLANKET IS ABOUT CELEBRATIONS AND MACAROONS…
So where to start with my March’s blanket…
I thought my March’s blanket is going to be about celebrations..and macaroons…
On the beginning of the week, I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary! I have been married and also I have been living in Scotland for 25 years!
Now I bet you are wondering what macaroons got to do with it? Well, there is a little story behind it all.
I met my husband Michael in Paris in 1988; we got married four years later in 1992 on the 29th of February! A funny date I know, but it is not too bad as, in nonleap years, we celebrate our anniversary either on the 1st of March or the 28th of February.
Paris has a special place in my heart; it is a city I always felt very comfortable in, it has been my home and my work place, and now is a regular destination for long weekends, holidays and shopping expeditions.
I met Michael in a French speaking course at the Sorbonne University, (that is my daughter Valentina in front of the main door ..) 
where I attended while living in Paris in the summer of 1988.
More ‘memory lane’..
.the next picture is us then.I can’t believe that it was nearly 30 years ago! Below our lovely class. We were a group of 18 different nationalities, a wide age range and many reasons why we were all in Paris improving our French. Our teacher was called Elisabeth, and she was so lovely and friendly. She is the one sitting, I am just behind her with the black jacket and the cream trousers, and Michael is far left with the blue and white shell suit..( magical 80s! loads of shell suits!!!).
All those years later and that is ‘our group’ now! 
I havent forgotten the macaroons.. It is just I was wondering what reminds me best of Paris, there are loads of things that remind me of Paris, but one especially does… those little pastries called macaroons. I love them! So they are going to be my inspiration…
in the next entry, I tell you how and why for now have a lovely day xxx
