Paris in the springtime

Apparently last Sunday was the warmest day of the last two hundred days. Now that is over 6 months of bad weather! BUT.... things are looking up! However, before the meteo goes back to normal - i.e. Parisian grey - a fun-loving International bunch of ladies decided to hold a picnic. Our American-Japanese friend suggested we visit the Jardins de Albert Khan in pursuit of blossoming cherry trees. What a brillant idea! For a short while we felt as if we had been transported to a garden in Japan. We might have gotten told off for picnicking in the gardens but we were allowed to finish our alfresco meal and we thoroughly enjoyed the first rays of this seasons' sunshine.
