On this occasion some of the others were struggling against him finding a place to eat. Part of the reason was that for some reason they decided that going out at 6.30 was a good idea even though most places didn't open until 7... We have traveled to France with them on many occasions and we always met to go out for an evening meal between 7 and 7.30. Maybe we should have laid the law down ;-) Off the main streets we have always found the best places to eat or sit and relax with a drink soaking up the atmosphere :-) I have a particular memory of a meal we had on one of the streets off the Champs Elysees. On that occasion we were treated very much as locals and given preferential treatment over some of the other customers ;-) Mr C is very good at it ;-) He has always loved Paris, he first went as a teenager.

We did all have a great time :-) At least I know I did and I think everyone else did ;-) Thank you :-) Your story makes me smile too, I think group holidays always encounter some problems along the way, people always have different ideas of what the want to do and someone always has to take control and that doesn’t always go down very well.

Group outings are nearly always fraught with difficulty. A friend of mine keeps reminding me what 'a laugh' we had on our last break. 'When will we do it again? Why doesn't anybody want to come with me?' It's so hard, because although I kept the peace (the other six people we went away with had massive rows with this person) the tension was palpable, and I cannot understand how she doesn't realise this obvious fact. So, you did well. And had some fun. Had a heavenly time with Mister C. It doesn't get much better than that. Cheers! You do make me laugh, you kind person you!

A telling reminder that both heaven and hell can be found in the company of other people, often the same people just at different times and in different moods. Do your other people read this blog, I wonder? A fantastic capture of the tower.
