Spring is coming!

Spring is coming!

Greetings from Bures-France! We are already in the second week of March: Spring is coming! Although we have had a lot of “bad weather” lately…

I am now in my eighth Spring since I got my stem cells graft! Last week, I had my regular blood analysis: perfect results! I will never thank enough the people at Saint Antoine hospital, and specially my fantastic graft doctor, who made this miracle possible! I don’t forget my anonymous stem cells donor, and my wonderful family and friends! I hope, one day, my anonymous donor will read this blog… I miss her…

Here are some photos taken in my garden… it is still early in Spring, so more photos will come later…

With love

Spring is there (April 7th) with a lot of rain!

Lily of the valley is coming…. one month earlier than May 1st…

Heading for The South: the Chagall Museum in Nice

Heading for The South: the Chagall Museum in Nice

During one of the rainy days in Nice, we visited the Chagall Museum. Such a wonderful place! Don’t miss it if you have the chance to visit Nice!

We really enjoyed the visit, although, because of the bad weather, it was kind of crowded…

It was time to go back home. We are looking forward for the next “holidays”, although we, as retired people, are always in vacation :-)!

I would not leave this without saying a big thank you to the people who saved my life almost eight years ago: the doctors and nurses at the Hematology Department of Saint Antoine Hospital, and in particular my fantastic graft doctor, my anonymous stem cells donor, and my great family and friends: I love you all so much! You are always in my heart…

Heading for The South: Nice and the costline around

Heading for The South: Nice and the costline around

After visiting “les calanques” (a very small part!), we went to Nice, the birth place of my wife! It was the time for “le carnaval”- de Nice”, so we attended it! We also visited the Old Nice, and several small cities along the cost, enjoying a few sunny days! I took also the oportunity to be in a big city, to visit several churches, taking photos of statues of my good friend Saint Antoine :-)!

During our time in Nice, the city experienced the record high rainy day since the year 1945! We used this un pleasant weather to visit the Chagall museum…

Heading to the South: Marseille and “les calanques”

Heading to the South: Marseille and “les calanques”

Greetings from Bures-France!

Usually, at this time of the year, we become depressed because of the lack of sun in the Paris area. This year, we decided to stay in France, heading for “the South”!

We spent a few days in Marseille to visit “the callanques”. It is a famous area, known to be crowded during the summer. In February, of course, it is not the same!

We have been lucky to enjoy a “good weather”! Here are some photos taken in several calanques:

Enjoy!
