Paris


Well France was amazing. An incredible place and I was very reluctant to leave. It was rainy on arrival at Cardiff airport, there's a suprise!!! And it was straight back into planning for the term after Easter. The weather has been glorious the last few days but mostly been attached to the computer, my eyes are definitely going square, so not much opportunity to enjoy it.


Beginning to count down the days now, they seem to be getting fewer and fewer but not really at the speed at which I had hoped they would!

Vive la France!!!

Bonjour mon ami!

If you hadn't guessed (or been told by me, several hundred times!) I am going to Paris for the weekend. Never been before although I have been to rural areas of France (by ground and by air in an old French Army Lynx feeling very ill and looking green!) and am very much looking forward to having a break from: people under 4 foot tall, work and computer screens and am anticipating spending a few much needed quality days with the other half.

I speak no French at all, Emmet very little and we have quite a lot we want to do in very few days so it will not be at all restful and I sense more than a little arguing as we try and navigate just to the hotel!

The Easter break is long overdue for most of us and the last week has been on autopilot.

Happy planning and good luck in school next term. I have some great subjects to look forward to: the 60's and 90's, Africa, PE and the usual suspects of MMMS and Pie Corbett to impart to the darlings. Hopefully the sugar high will be waning after the mound of Easter eggs they have no doubt started to plough through already.
