Return to reality

Well a rather belated Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to you all! (Do you see what I did there? I switched the 'happy' and the 'merry' round, but it didn't work, because people really do say Happy Christmas, and I don't like it at all, so I won't be doing that again.) I hope the holidays treated you, my doubtlessly huge readership, very well. I certainly had a very nice time, although it did seem to pass extremely quickly.

So I'm back in France after two very lovely weeks at home for Christmas. I'd like to say I'm pleased to be back, but I feel at the moment that would be a lie, mainly as my tasks for the day include a trip to the supermarket, taking down my Christmas decorations (also known as "the most depressing chore in the world") and a mountain-sized pile of laundry.

It will be nice, however, to see all my lovely well-behaved children tomorrow again, and once everything gets back to normal and I'm into the swing of things again and my laundry bag is empty I'm sure things will be just fine.

Obviously not much has happened to me yet on the next step of my Great Adventure, as I have only been back in France for approximately fourteen hours, so I will leave it there and just hope everyone is enjoying the start of the new year, and next time I will try and have something more interesting to say. A bientôt!
