Today it is a steamy hot typical Brisbane February day. How different it is to this time last year; then we were in Lyon France, more than two weeks into the experiene of a life time. It was nesessary to rug up in all our layers of warm clothes, before we ventured out in freezing temperatures.
One funny memory is our attempt to have a picnic... in the snow. In such an idyllic setting we quickly found plastic knives, frozen butter and a french baguette don't work so well so we retreated to the warmth of the car. Oh well, it was a laugh all the same.
A year ago today, we were shopping in my local market in Lyon for rabbit, a lovely casserole was for dinner. Beans, mushrooms and mashed potato accompanied the rabbit perfectly!
Tonight, back in Brisbane, we will escape the heat by relaxing on our back deck, rissoles on the BBQ and a couple of yummy salads is the plan.

Wow what an adventure! I love the idea of home exchanges, hopefully one day we get to try it out and see more of the world. And on a hot day like today, I certainly wouldn't mind being rugged up by a fireplace on the other side of the world! Great article Karen :) John, when do we get to see more of your beautiful photos from Europe?
Looking forward to catching up at Sarah and Matt's wedding in September, and hopefully some time in 2011, all going well, we'll be organising a shoot for a baby Stopa :)
