Winter reflections

Friday
As yesterday, I dropped Laura and her friends off at the station fairly early this morning, for them to take the train up to Paris for the day. Today, however, her friends were taking their bags with them, as tomorrow they are moving on, and so they had booked a hostel for tonight more convenient for the airport. I spent a quiet morning at home, then after lunch, when the grey skies had given way to clearer skies and sunshine, I went walking along the River Seine and round the village of Samois-sur-Seine, where I took my blip, looking from Île du Berceau to the riverside homes in Samois.
