I am French but have spent most of my adult life in England. I now live in the French Alps with my two children, trying to survive in the aftermath of a very abrupt separation in January 2011. In reaction to the destruction, I felt the urge to do something creative, and because I am useless at knitting, or pottery, I started this blog.
At the end of most of my posts, you will find a link to one of my music choices, which you can listen to on Deezer (a free web-based music platform), or on YouTube.
If you are new to this blog, find out how it all started here.

Here’s the story in dates:
1997- Move to England after finishing university in France. Spend six months wondering why people said “cheese” when they mean thank you. Study nasty little viruses.
2003- Parting present from Useless Boyfriend: A baby boy. Oh, really, that’s too much, you shouldn’t have!
2005- Hang up my lab coat for good to become office-based UK government staff. Take two months to recover from trauma of having to wear clothes other than jeans and free biotech company t-shirts.
2008 August- Meet T on holiday in France. Wow!
2008 November- Selected for UK government course to become a senior civil servant. Yay!
2009 January- Decide to take a career break and move to France to join T, plan to potentially move back to England once his course is finished so I can complete mine.
2009 March- Pregnant. Understand the true meaning of morning sickness.
2009 August- Move to France. Understand the true meaning of leaving your life behind.
2009 November- Give birth to Baby girl! I am never ever doing this again (ever).
2010 October- Discuss plans for baby Nr 3 (Yes yes, I know alright), and house-buying.
2010 December- T works too much, becomes depressed and very crabby.
2011 January 1st- T leaves. Forget sleep, forget appetite, forget baby Nr 3, go directly to hell, do not collect 100 EUR when you pass Start. This is when this blog begins…
