We've arrived in Paris!!

After 15 weeks of living out of a suitcase, we have finally moved into our fantastic new home in Paris. YAY!! This also means that we have been reunited with 40 boxes worth of our stuff!


Here's Catherine hard at work unpacking the boxes. Everything was wrapped carefully with paper, hence the huge piles of it! I'm obviously just overseeing the operation :)

Catherine has started her work at the Embassy and is now having to put into practice all the french language skills she's learned. Where I've just finished the first term of my course and have started my exciting part time job at St Michael's Church.

Paris is very cold right now with some days having a high of 2 degrees! Eek! So I haven't been as trigger happy on the old camera, as my poor fingers try to avoid exposure to daylight/blizzard like conditions. But here's one just for you :)


This is from the Metro (underground train) station near my work/our church. You can see the pretty cool imitation 'London Eye' they have here, which is nicely lit up.

Here are a couple pictures from our last few days at the language school in Avignon.


A group game (so we weren't the only silly looking ones!) we played on our last night at the language school, which was lots of fun.



This was taken on on a day trip we took in the Provence region, close to where the British TV series 'A Year in Provence' was filmed. A couple of hours drive from our language school.
