Montpellier mon amour...

I got back from France last night, after having spent three days or so down south in Montpellier. I love the south of France - I haven't been there that often, but when I have it's been wonderful. The sun! The wine! The tapenade! And this time there was the beach, as well... It definitely made a change from getting up at six to go to talk to schoolkids. (Nice as they were, I hasten to add.)

Anyway - we were there because the French Boyfriend's grandparents live there, and were celebrating various birthdays en famille, so we spent lots of time with FB's relations. And actually that was perfectly nice. It made me realise how well my French has come on - a year ago it would've been absolute purgatory. And then there were a few moments round the edges when we (FB and moi) could be alone together, pretending to be properly on holiday.

But now I'm back. And back to work.
