But the point of this is that I have been a paresseux paresseux. A lazy sloth. Because when I have a lot of time on my hands I tend to do absolutely nothing with it. So here is a little update.
February
we went to this sort of 'bed and breakfast' where we stayed on this farm for one night and had a very awkward meal with the family there.
but here you can see these little balls of leaves that grow on trees here in France. I am told that they are some sort of invasive species/weed but I like the way that they kind of look like Christmas ornaments.
April
The cherry tree bloomed and the garden started to sprout.
Then the tulips.
And then I my contract came to an end. And I got piles of drawings from cute kids. And took lots of pictures with each class.
These were one of my favorite CP classes (1st grade) The little boy in the front row in the green shirt is named Corentin. He is the tiniest little boy. And when I would come into class he would just smile and smile. Well, they all would. And it was very good feeling to see how much they liked doing English with me.
Then a little spring get-away to the country house to see the sprouting fields and the new lambs.
A visit to Père Lachaise Cemetery to see Mr. Wilde.
A free trip on the escalator of Centre Pompidou for one of the best views in Paris.
June
A Sunday afternoon walk across Pont Alexandre. If you look closely you can see someone getting arrested.
Favorite new coffee shop. Coutume. It takes about an hour to get there, but it is worth it.
A trip to Musée Rodin. And thinking.
A trip to Perigord.
Where we swam in the river
And Bernadette became Thelma.
Hmmm...
The prettiest hotel in all the world.
July
An exciting offer and a big decision to come home.
my last trip to the house in Champlemy
A little last minute rearranging.
And remembering many good memories.
