So i'm writing this on the way to picking my littlest sister up from Bordeaux. She is the latest in a long line of visitors and for me her arrival really does mean that i am now on holiday - my work is over and i have 6 days left to profit from in France. I feel as if my 2 week hiatus has rendered the majority of you ill-informed. As such before any kind of entry about the ending of my season, i feel i should detail various ventures undertaken with a variety of visitors. My aunt and cousin arrived about 2 weeks ago now and stayed for a grand total of 5 days, during which we kept as busy as possible. 15yr old boys require constant diversions to prevent boredom descending. For the avoidance ... read more

Good day my lovers, I hope this extract finds you all well. I'm sorry i've been so severely negligent the past 2 and a bit weeks - i've been trying and apparently succeeding in keeping myself occupied and we've actually been having some decent weather so i've basically just been loath to take the time inside to type this up. I have so many things to write up now though and so I am sorry if I bombard you with a few entries in quick succession. My love of the sun (and sunbathing) has been noted by everyone here as "very weird for an English girl" and has earnt me the nickname 'Lizard'. It's not a very flattering creature to be named after I know, I would have preferred something a bit more powerful e.g. Lioness ... read more

I wish this was a melodramatic title - unfortunately, for reasons which i may possibly never understand, this is exactly what has happened to me for now the second time in my life. Exactly a week ago now, minus a few hours, Ed decided to call time on our 18 month relationship. As it can safely be said that his decision to finish it was unexpected (after only 5 weeks of separation and up to that point a really lovely day) i did not handle the news well. The hours after he told me are just a blur now, I know that i cried and that i threw up but mostly i just remember pain and the desperate desire for him to take it all back, to let me lay my head on his chest and ... read more

Salut World!!!! (I have been in a quandary about what to do with this entry - i started writing it last weekend and stopped only to go and pick Ed up from the airport. Unfortunately my mindset has changed a bit since then, had a bit of a nasty surprise which i can't quite laugh about yet. I thought it better to post it now anyway and I will write a small, more current, entry soonish letting everyone know how i'm doing. When i feel more up to it. Especially as I promised myself that i would record my year as truthfully as possible. However we can't have two depressing entries in a row. Hope this makes you all laugh - send me love, need it at the minute.) Im sure you will all be glad ... read more

Good day to all fans, friends and followers. (Family is a given). I have been curiously quiet recently i know, however i would like to reassure all those who are envious of my summer in the south west of france that i (apart from on 2 very brief occasions) have not been lounging around the pool casually. In fact we have worse weather here than England! It has done nothing but rain for days. Also if the timeline seems a little off its because i've written this over 2 days and have only just got a chance to publish it. Nonetheless- last wednesday i went surfing despite torrential rain- you are already wet in the sea anyway so who cares really. Anyway i raised myself to my knees 6 times for lengthy periods of time but ... read more

Bonjour my lovers, It is Saturday, my day of repose, which means i am all alone (marie has gone home to Bordeaux) and i'm minorly bored. The weather is terrible so here i am again - about to regale you some of the latest embarassing episodes of my life. It always stuns me that theses things continually happen to me. I feel like Bridget Jones. Am currently wearing comfy clothes including some bizzarre brown/violet aladdin pants i purchased here and Ed's blue checked canada top. Just to give you all a mental image. So my afternoon job is starting to pick up a little. 16 kids the other day. And mostly its fine- i smile and nod a bit still with the littlies - but they don't seem to notice my lack of comprehension so i ... read more
