Catherine says:
The Little Mother and I have now returned to Australia. Our wonderful month in France is but a memory, but one that we hold dear and close to our hearts. It was the experience of a life time and I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to share this with my darling mother – my best friend, my confidante, my Clayton’s big sister (that is, the big sister you have when you really don’t have a big sister). We were inspired, awestruck, enthralled, mesmerised, captivated and spellbound by all that we saw. And we laughed endlessly!
I know that this journey – although over – is really just the beginning of a bigger one. The past month has changed my philosophy on life, shown me opportunities I had never considered and reaffirmed that life is not about finding oneself, but about creating oneself. But the most important thing is that I shared all of this with my mother and created a story with her: a tale interwoven with laughter, love, good food (and the occasional good wine!), amazing sights and new friends.
So I will not say au revoir to La France, because my love affair with her has just begun and I know it will not be long before I return to the land that has captured my heart and soul and brought me so much joy and happiness.
