Ah, as you should! Montreal is so beautiful. I used to love the same thing about NYC. Winters were often bitterly cold and yet with that big blue above, it was do-able. It was why I was so shocked by the Parisian winters afterwards! I'll take the cold, thank you, but not the grey. <br />And ps; saw my first almond tree blossom yesterday!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-29556338967695913152014-02-03T19:52:20.559+01:002014-02-03T19:52:20.559+01:00I saw Elizabeth's photos of a rain sodden camp...I saw Elizabeth's photos of a rain sodden campo del fiori!

That is going to be a big transition but if that is what needs to happen, I am confident that a sharp woman like yourself will find the way to make it work. Light lamps and excercise included.

Our budget is so limited that there isn't that much to visit here in Arles and we are still trying to decide if we should move beyond the area or not (more about that soon). Did I know that your husband is from Arles?? Does he still have family here? I would just say one thing about your house-hunt. As beautiful as parts of it are (including good deals for real estate), I personally wouldn't live in downtown Nimes. That is just me! But Uzes and Arles? Absolutely!<br />And Remi and I LOVE Vancouver. We did a story on it for the French magazine Grands Reportages about ten years ago. But the grey part? Not so much. ;)Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-23340120189248067472014-02-02T04:56:54.816+01:002014-02-02T04:56:54.816+01:00Grey days, here, too.
