Just before I met you

.
Breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien (order the hot chocolate, it comes with a block of dark chocolate to dip into the bowl of already outstanding chocolately goodness) and the windows at Collette on Rue Sainte Honoré. I ♥♥♥ Paris!

Lazing on a sunny afternoon ...

Wednesday's in the park with Julie WITH NO NEED FOR A JUMPER (well on my part at least, she is French and therefore needs a bit more of a temperature push to expose unnecessary flesh in March) ... life can't get much better.

Epic fail VS epic win?


Nothing will be written about St Patrick's day, apart from the fact it was EPIC!

I broke my belt 10 mintues after this photo, in case you wanted to know!

It's monday and I'm so exhausted I almost asked my students if they wanted to study the art of napping, the general consensus was HELL YEAR but then I realised I don't really want to get sacked. Fun times. So powering through and looking forward to my bed at 7pm tonight. Not really sure what the point of this is either ...

Over and out

.

Winter is officially over (it's like 19 degrees today in Aix) and although I have long been impatient to break out my Birkenstocks and banish my winter coat to the deepest darkest depths of my military issue metal wardrobe I have to say that this winter has been quite an incredible one!

I have spent two glorious weeks over the past 3 months skiing in the French Alps with the lycee and the patience and dedication of my then monitors, but now great friends never failed to amaze me. The English girl did good, and can now ski like a French girl however there is only so much abuse one can take for being English and apparently singlehandedly responsible for my countries failure at most team sports. Also, despite my efforts, I still can’t manage that “looking remotely attractive in the snow” vibe which most Frenchies manage; I much prefer to channel the abominable snowman look.

So these are my favourite snaps of winter; woolly hats, snowmen, an English White Christmas (the first in a decade), and of course a bit of skiski.
