At first it was quite frustrating, but now I've started to really quite like it. Everyone is forced to slow down and spend time with their family and friends.
This Sunday, we spent the afternoon chez les Américains eating Californian burgers and frites. It's so nice to have some English speaking company who we can really relax with, which I find difficult to do when I'm constantly concentrating on speaking French. Although it's always a bit chaotic and noisy when we get together due to the four little boys aged two and under!
The lovely Mike and Emily
It's been raining all of this weekend, which is good news because on higher ground it means snoooooow! The surrounding mountains look like they've all been dusted with icing sugar, and Decathlon is full of people stocking up on ski gear. We're planning on going up to La Féclaz this weekend to do a bit of sledging.
Lily is off to Paris in the morning on a school trip for the day. It's a great opportunity for her to see the city and hopefully she'll have a great time, especially as we have to get up at 5:30am to get her to the station!
Nothing much else to report on so far this week. It's actually taken me two days to write just this much as Stu has started reading my blog back to me in a slow, posh English voice, which makes everything I write sound really stupid. I hear it in my head now whenever I'm typing, a bit like Carrie Bradshaw does. Argh! That sounds terrible!!
