Romance and Beyond

Romance and Cupcakes

March 15, 2013 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

If it’s Friday, it must be France …

Last Friday I had the immense pleasure of keeping company withDSCN0821-300x232 the talented and oh-so-sociable writers who host the Romance and Beyond blog.  Sherry Isaac, Sharon Clare and Carole St.-Laurent are women with a zest for life and a talent for writing stories that go straight to our hearts.

They invited me to write about how I became so obsessed … er … how I first discovered the romance of France. Magnifique! As you can imagine, they only had to ask once!

Here’s a little taste – un petit goût!

Antibes-Be still my heart!
Antibes-Be still my heart!

First of all, full disclosure: I love France. I love everything about France. I need to state that right up front. To me, everything about that country oozes romance. When I am in France my senses are embraced and caressed by the romance in the scenery, the architecture, the food, the wine, the sea, the language. I’m a fool for love there and I can’t help myself. If you didn’t know this about me before, you do now.

It all goes way, way back.

For the rest of my guest post, please click here to be transported into an enticing world of romance.

To make your visit there even more pleasurable, I’m serving up some scrumptious virtual strawberry cupcakes. Be careful though, they are addictive!
