Here we go... I stayed in this apartment for 10 years and as of today it's totally empty! I'm so exhausted that I don't even know if I'm sad, excited or just acting like a robot... Moving is not a piece of cake, I knew it, but I had forgotten...
I know I pop in every now and then only - but I always enjoy my visits. And I always say your photography keeps improving because yes, it keeps improving ! And reading you is also a delight.
This makes me a bit sad because in case I never told you I really loved your apartment—I only wish I could have bought it! Trust you'll both be just as happy in your new digs and hope to visit you there one day soon. :~}
Eric, wishing you all happiness for your new future,in Malta...you defiantly wan't complain about the weather there?!Sadly no more daily photo and information of Paris...I will miss that really,and what a pitty we did not catch up in Paris last year in May...c'est la vie ...we all will miss you...but I really wish you a wonderful time in Malta..and a lot of joy....Merci beaucoup ,Eric...good luck!!!

WOW, first I think you should be very PROUD! Second you may feel you'll miss such a nice apartment but you should not regret your decision! And thirdly a feeling of vertigo would be the feeling I would personally feel the most (along with a rightful exhaustion !!). The first one is the most important. Well this is said in my humble opinion because I can evaluate what you are experiencing with the move ! Bravo.
Having just done the same thing after 9 years of living in Paris, I can fully commisserate! We've now been in our home in Blois for a month. All the cartons are unpacked but I am completely exhausted and still feeling my way. I hope all goes well in Malta!
Adieu (ou plutôt au revoir?) cher Eric I have been moving more often than I care to remember, we're in our 3rd house now in the Paris region - houses are even more trouble than appartments. BUT I so wish you only THE GOOD STUFF for your future. I'm jealously hanging on to your photo blog because I still hope to find the time sometime in the future to visit your entries I haven't discovered yet, so you'll still be 'with me' also after you've gone.... And maybe it's now that I should again say THANK YOU for the wonderful infos, pix, and the fun you've given your readers - I learned a lot about Paris thanks to you and I only joined you (far too) late. Bless you Eric, gros bec et meilleurs vœux, Kiki
Your photos are like a wake up smile delivered to the inbox...I also move Saturday, but local upstate ny...wishing you happiness, peaceful journey and rest! Lisa W
WoW, looks like a very beautiful apt. Bonne expatriation et j'espère que vous retrouverez votre bonheur à Malte. L'air de la Med vous fera du bien ainsi qu'un petit saut à Nice de temps en temps. Hopefully we will get to know Malta through your lenses . Good Luck in your new home.
Thank you a million times for your wonderful sharing of Paris with us. My sympathies on the many emotions and total exhaustion of moving. And best wishes in your new chapter of life! I hope we will be seeing you online from Malta!
I wish you every happiness! Thank you for sharing your artistic gifts and always making my days brighter. Am hoping for Malta Daily Photo. (hope this isn't a duplicate post...my first one disappeared)
I too empathise with your mixed up feelings, but it will be worth it un the end remember, when you think you will never get straight others have survived to tell the tail!
wishing every happiness to two lovely people. I hope your new adventurewill be successful andcyou find the contentment you deserve.
I too look in every day. I will miss my daily glimpse of Paris. I hope I will now get glimpses of Malta as its a womderful place, bt I still look forward to seeing you in Paris some day. Xxxxx love Denise from England
Wow. If those walls could talk, how many Paris Daily stories would they tell? I wish I were there to listen in on the echoes.
It's sad to see your apartment empty -- and I've ever even set foot in chez vous! That's how much I've come to regard you as an ami and your world as my "happy place".
It's Thanksgiving Day here on Long Island in the great state of New York and I am thankful that I've been able to visit and learn and be entertained and be inspired by your daily Eric-ness all these years.
Many hearts are are wishing you that all your days in Malta are as wonderful as the ones you've shown us in Paris.
What a very special glimpse into your life, Eric - thank you for all you have shared with us over the years! We send you every best wish for an easy transition. Perhaps you'll post a photo or two of some of your new sights in the months to come ... ?
I understand the exhaustion and frustration of moving, but it will all be worth it in the end. Best of luck with everything in Malta, and thank you for sharing your beautiful city with the world for the last (almost) 10 years. I will miss you too, but at least I can keep PDP in my favourites to look back on when I need a Paris fix. love Debs ps. My goodness I think I have just found my dream apartment!
Wow Nice Job! Congratulations in getting ready to move, I see all is pack and clean! I am ready to see Malta Daily Photo! In Texas we said " Howdy sweetie pie and Farewell darling...all I know that Paris won't be the same without Ya'll!! Vayan con Dios, mis amigos!!!
What a lovely apartment! Moving is difficult. I always feel sad when moving from a place, especially one as lovely as this. Not that I've ever lived anywhere comparable. I wish you happiness, contentment, peace and health. Change is good, saying Goodbye is so hard. xx
I wish you a happy new life in a new town, in a new country! Safe travels! I'm very excited to hear about this new chapter in your life. :)
ReplyDeleteI know I pop in every now and then only - but I always enjoy my visits. And I always say your photography keeps improving because yes, it keeps improving ! And reading you is also a delight.
ReplyDeleteOh, may your move go as smooth as can be !
Ouah, je vois un escalier rouge qui dirige à quelque part. Votre appartement possède deux ou plus d'étages? :)
ReplyDeleteWith all that moving, the exhaustion is understandable. I hope your photoblog morphs into the new phase of your life is taking shape.
ReplyDeleteEric, this is such a huge change. The Germans probably have a word for being happy, sad and tired at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me a bit sad because in case I never told you I really loved your apartment—I only wish I could have bought it! Trust you'll both be just as happy in your new digs and hope to visit you there one day soon. :~}
ReplyDeleteMoving is exhausting physically and psychologically.
ReplyDeleteMay all that's good move with you and all your dreams for your new home come true.
Hugs,
Merisi
Love, hugs, bises. Et merci.

Wait a minute... Does this mean the 2015 PDP picnic is cancelled ?

ReplyDeleteMalta, sounds like an island I could live on for a while. Tough to leave Paris after all this time I guess.
