At last!
Spring has come and I’ve gone to the Park of the Sceaux Castle for my first hanami! I’ve been invited each year to do so, and never was free but this year, I set my mind to go see these famous cherry trees.
I wasn’t disappointed : they were numerous, a whole “bosquet” to [...]

一人でも大丈夫とあなたも私も同じ
Saying you’re fine by yourself, you’re [...]
