Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Little acts of kindness. By now, you might be thinking, what is she on about, and how are all these little stories linked? Well, they aren’t really except that they all qualify as random acts of kindness to make life a bit easier/more enjoyable for someone else. I gave copies of Breathing Out. Now there’s an idea.

Franglaise Au Sud: The Over 40s Guide to Surviving Teens
http://franglaiseausud.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-over-40s-guide-to-surviving-teens.html
Thursday, January 15, 2015. The Over 40s Guide to Surviving Teens. Yesterday morning, I was rolling up in bed reading the funniest myths on new baby motherhood busted by the very talented and acerbic witted Zeena Moolla. Allow me to continue the case for not having children, sorry I mean surviving the teenage years. 1 You will never be right again. Remember those dinner table discussions when they were going through that fairly irritating phase of asking why, why, why to everything? 9 Do not leave loose ...

Friday, March 14, 2014. What a week it’s been. Last Friday night, I was nervously sipping a cheeky glass of Champagne for Dutch courage and wondering if my book launch would be a success. So many people turned up, it was amazing to see so many friendly faces at the Donjon in the village, many of whom had flown in from London to be there on my special night. It was a combination of thinking back over that fabulous evening, recalling the wonderful emails I’ve received this week from people who have r...

Monday, June 23, 2014. In about five minutes, it's my baby's birthday. Issy is 15 and the fun started a few hours earlier as you can see when I taught her how to play backgammon while we barbecued fish and duck and drank Charles Lafitte in a little family pre-birthday celebration. It felt good to put a finger up at the lowlifes who ran through our house on Sunday afternoon, stealing whatever they could carry as we sat by the pool in blissful ignorance while Issy enjoyed a siesta in her room. Usually I am...

Thursday, July 24, 2014. Forgive me blog readers, it's been a month since my last post, where has the time gone? I intended to write an update before we set off on our road trip two weeks ago, but the pressing nature of cleaning the house and making it boutique hotel quality ready for renting out while we travel around Europe took precedence. If cleanliness is next to godliness, I am destined for great things. Much as the food is a big draw and Bar Jean. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://franglaiseausud.blogspot.com/2014_05_18_archive.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. It's been a whirlwind few weeks. Superyachts in Antibes and Genoa were swiftly followed by surfing, eating and cycling (eating definitely ruled) in Forte dei Marmi and book signings for Breathing Out in the UK, after which I barely had time to draw breath before it was Cannes Film Festival. Signing books in the UK last week, I met an amazing and inspirational bunch of women all with their own stories to tell. Simone. One, a bubbly, vibrant force of nature who is younger than me, tol...

Monday, September 1, 2014. Bye bye Eel Pie. After two months travelling around Europe, we are almost at the end of 2014's epic summer road trip. Biarritz was a blast but surfing in July feels like a long time ago now. Next stop was Spain and a journey that took us through Breaking Bad style arid wilderness skirting the Pyrenees and heading through the centre of Spain to the coast near Alicante. To Gary and Phil, Mel and Bill, Karin and Paul, Jean, Fiona and Steve and Clare, thanks for being such excellen...

Franglaise Au Sud: Je suis Charlie
http://franglaiseausud.blogspot.com/2015/01/je-suis-charlie.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2015. It’s hard to put into words the devastation and sickening fear I felt watching Sky news this afternoon as they showed footage of the extremists who massacred a newsroom of journalists and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo in Paris. I'm not sure, much as I still love the job I do. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Le Bar sur Loup, Alpes Maritimes, France. View my complete profile.
