On saturday PI Costings took a group of 8 clients to Paris for the day and kindly invited me along for the ride which was spectacular. The best rail journey is the Eurostar to Paris and that was followed by lunch at the new Mandarin Oriental and a gentle stroll and shop.I promised to mention Aunty Ellen Parry at Leigh Day who has a propensity for going out dressed in red ballooons (don't ask ).She has some amazing photos on her phone (do ask ). A great talent is evident .
