Reading this felt so lovely and indulgent, reminded me of why I love London, and that I'm desperate to go back to Paris

If I’m inspiring a Paris trip I’ve done my job. Thank you for reading ❤️‍🩹

Truly beautiful. You described yearning in a way that is exactly how I feel when I get hit with deep nostalgia for when my daughter was a baby and toddler.

I felt like I was in London and Paris with you.

Such a great post like always! London it’s the love of my life, I really loved living there. I laughed how you wrote about the accents and how the brits talked! Please let us know if you take the au pair thing ha!

God I wish I had too much self respect to feel nauseous

I chalk it up to a glass of skim milk every day between the ages of 3 and 14.

Don't know what else to say besides your newsletter is the only one I don't scroll through reading haphazardly but hang on every word! SO GOOD.

Ah this was beautiful! I’ve just moved back to Sydney from London and found myself right there with you reminiscing on all the unexpected, small things that make the city so hard to forget 💓

Thank you, Kate, for taking me with you to London and Paris. I am so glad that they are still there.
