Last weekend I was back to France to attend one of my oldest friend’s wedding. As usual it took me a bit of time to adapt again to life in France. I know it happens every time but I still can’t get used to it. This time it was even exacerbated by a combination of too much work – even to my standard – and difficulties sleeping. This made the whole trip feel a bit surreal. On the bright side, I met with people I haven’t seen in a really long time : my friend and all his family. Unfortunately, I don’t have a chance to meet them very often. The other positive aspect of the trip was that I ate a lot of good food and drunk a lot of nice wine and champagne. But also as usual, the end of the trip came too quickly and it was time to go back to rainy London.
