Friendship

The sign hidden in the ivy outside this tiny house in Gorbio says:
'Qui vient en ami,
Arrive toujours trop tard,
Part toujours trop tôt.'
Arrive toujours trop tard,
Part toujours trop tôt.'
...which roughly translates as: 'a friend is someone who always arrives too late and leaves too early.'

enchanting door way with a welcoming and inviting sign.

If I saw that sign upon arriving I might wonder if I should be one of the first people to leave the party.
And they surely do not want people to arrive late for a dinner party.
Ah, here's to a life filled with such friends.
Love this picture!!! The framing by the vine, the saying...well done!!!
I like that phrase, think I will use it
Not easy to catch... I gather from Malyss's comment that you've tried before :-)
