I am 19 years old and living in France for a year as an au pair. Thought i'd start a blog, helps keep family and friends up to date on what i am doing.

Hmm Well I thought as I haven't updated anything on here for such a long time, that maybe now is the time to do just that. I seem to have a lot fo spare time right now, I got to work 2 and a half hours early! (Don't ask!) So finding stuff to do now, along with all the bookwork of course!

Well as would be expected a lot has happened in the past 8 months. I am no longer in France, but working back in my home town of Cambridge, for a football club. I am officially catering and fixture but I basically do anything and everything! Have to feed the players each day, which I love. Seem to have built up a good relationship with them very quickly. They are farily amusing and we've enjoyed a couple of practical jokes!

So in September after being offered this job I had to decide whether or not I wanted to come back to England. I love France, I love the people I was with and the kids, well i'd do anything for them. Literally. However there were a few factors which swayed my mind. Obviously there is the obvious friends and family, I like to think that I am a fairly sociable person, and in France I did enjoy going out, but it isn't the same as your friends who know you and who you know really well. Another reason was my favourite football team...Cambridge United! I miss watching them, it just wasn't the same listening to a radio (with crap commentary!) every week! The last big reason was a close friend of mine who isn't very well. However he is doing fantastically now, and we all have our fingers crossed for him.

So I came back to the land of cold and rain in December! Just before Christmas. Since then I haven't really stopped, seen The Kooks again, then Christmas and working non-stop really! Crazy times. If I do have free time I will be online talking!! Or out socialising, once I've tempted myself away from the computer!

Anyway I might just dissapear offline and do some work for now! Plenty of paperwork to be getting on with!
