Since moving to Paris my schedule has changed dramatically. I now have a lot of ‘down time’ during the day, something which I obviously didn’t have before when working a regular job. Some of this time is spent at my French classes, some of it doing homework and some of it (a lot of it) … Continue reading WHO I’M FOLLOWING / ACCOUNTS I LOVE…
Back again with some life lessons this week and something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. We all know how difficult it is to stay connected with your friends at the best of times but how about when you live in a different country?

No, not the band. The two week holiday they have here at the end of October/beginning of November. For those of us from the U.K it’s also known as October half-term, although we only get a week. For these two weeks the kids are off school and for one of them I am off-work too. … Continue reading ALL SAINTS…
I took a little hiatus last week. It was my birthday and I decided that I would take a break to enjoy the weekend fully with my sister who was coming out to Paris. This was my first time celebrating a birthday abroad and I wanted to make it a memorable one! I’m very lucky … Continue reading MY FIRST BIRTHDAY ABROAD…
This week I started school. At the age of 27 I became a student once again, although this time around will be a little different from my university days, no staying out drinking late and then rolling into lectures hungover.
