Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who upgraded to a paid subscription this past week which resulted in over €300 donated to the United Nations Population Fund to send emergency birth kits where they’re needed most. It’s a drop in the ocean but everything we can do to help a mother have a safer birth experience helps. Mille mercis!
HAPPY 40th!! and congrats on your ability to coerce (sorry, steer;) your husband to such wonderful stays!!! I am happy you enjoy life among the sometimes arrogant and grumpy Parisians (I lived in Paris for 2 years, but without the support of French family)… it is a joy to read about it ❤️🍀
When you said Eze, I thought, “Someone visiting Bono, no doubt.” Such a glam 40th! I think a weekend au deux beats a massive bash. As my mum would say, he’s your date for life.
Wait - I wasn’t done! Like your husband, mine treads softly around the birthday! So tell us, who was the Hollywood star??? I figured out the President.
Happy birthday, albeit belatedly! Like you the age with a “9” on the end has always bothered me more than the “0” round-number year. And like your husband, B
Happy birthday! You know how to celebrate! I’m glad you’re embracing what you’re calling “middle age!” My birthday is Wednesday—the first day of spring—and I’ll be 68. I, too, have much gratitude for my family, friends, and life.❤️
Belated birthday greetings 🎉 Always love your missives from Paris and especially like the line: ‘copious amounts of coffee and some top quality eavesdropping.’ Excellent!
Welcome to middle age.
Is that François Hollande?
