I just had to blog to say how amazing it is to experience seasons. Today it was 18C with snow on the piste but the sun was shining. So I put on my t-shirt and dragged the kids to the park. Everyone was there. It's really great to see people enjoying the sunshine, when you live in Africa you take it for granted. Boy it really has an amazing effect on people. Mom's who have never spoken to me are saying Bonjour. I feel like snubbing them just because but I was also taken with the sunshine. I'm sure it will snow in a couple of weeks and everyone will be trudging up the hill with there kids on the way to school in the foulist of moods but for now it's heaven.
I can't believe how I've settled, sure I have my down days, and I have literally no friends, but I think having my husband around most of the time and being a full time mom really suites me. I don't feel guilty anymore just sitting down with a cup of tea and doing nothing. When I think back over the past 10 years of owning a restaurant and working lunch and dinner till I dropped, leaving my kids with a maid, missing story time, bath time, dinner time, I deserve this and I am enjoying every minute.
