Home time.

So, after a good 11 months my French life is ending, with mixed emotions.

Things France has taught me:

1) That I can live alone no problemos and more importantly that I can remove my own spiders.
2)To like salad dressing, fresh figs, duck and square pillows.
3)How amazing pain aux raisins are.
4)That English banks, whilst annoying, are really not that bad.
5)That I am not a surfer and never will be.
6)Useful French, not university French.
7)Think how long your paperwork for something will take then times this amount by 3.
8)French music and TV leaves a lot to be desired.
9)I can live without bacon but I can't live without cheddar cheese.
10)I dress 'English'.

Things I am looking forward to back home:

1. Family
2. Friends
3. Cheese on toast
4. Straight hair (my hair straighteners broke about 2 months ago)
5. Wearing socks
6. Duvets
7. BBC iplayer
8. Bible studies
9. Speaking English in public places
10.Talking endlessly about my gap yah.

:)

And then there were four.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I managed to lock myself out of my blog account. Clever I know. August here has been great apart from this weekend's sadness of saying goodbye to three members of staff, my french roomie and our lovely australian couple. We are now down to four of us working here, so I'm being kept busy.

I have spent the last few weeks living round the corner from the hostel in a friends house (no room in the inn) which was a nice break from the house of madness and boys who like to go surfing at least twice a day. I spent a lot of time watching Gilmore Girls on the sofa eating Golden Grahams and thinking how great my life is.

I thought I'd show a few pics...
