Yesterday was my birthday and today is the 4th of July, but more significant than either of those events is the fact that we've now been in France for 11 months and will soon be hitting the one year mark. This is still the best decision we've made since getting together.
Street scene in Lille, looking down the street from Le Capsule.
Pictures of Bailey, just because she's pretty.
Our recent Le Creuset purchase.
My first dish cooked in it—poached salmon.
Followed by a simple chicken pot pie a couple of days later.
Our other recent purchase is this indoor air conditioner. It arrived just after the first heat wave ended but we are now better prepared for the next. France is reluctantly beginning to embrace air conditioning.
This is an open doorway we passed when just walking around town. The mail slots outside and the corresponding mail boxes inside were something I hadn't seen before.

It was getting dark so this is hard to see but those are two sheep or goats grazing on an elevated area at the Citadelle. They use them to cut the grass and control vegetation.
