Paris will always be Paris

We’ve had a devastating few days here in Paris. Today is Monday November 16th – 3 days after the deadly attacks in the city killing so many and wounding us not just physically but emotionally. We are grieving but also bravely living and carrying on as I return to the office and the children are back in school.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that, we are standing back up and moving on not with hate or fear in our hearts. But with courage, living because we’ve got life, and will not allow others to take our joie de vivre.

On saturday there were few people out when we ventured outside around 2pm, but on sunday at the same time, the streets were back to normal. We walked over to one of the cafe’s, Le Carillon, that was affected to pay our respects and walked along the Canal Saint Matin with the rest of Paris, enjoying a coffee or croissant with the little ones.

We are somehow carrying on the best we can.

Thank you for all the Facebook messages and emails of kindness. We are truly touched by your humanity and know that love will always prevail.

Paris will always be Paris.
