The weather has also taken an arctic turn this week - the infamous mistral wind is absolutely freezing. So much for the south of France being warm! Rather fittingly, I've been carrying on with teaching the weather at school and they've definitely mastered how to say "Today it is cold and sunny" (everyday's weather forecast out here).
Over the weekend Annie and I took the bus to Isle sur la Sorgue for the Sunday market. I stocked up on fresh seasonal veggies to make soup, clearly getting the hang of Provençal living now. So bio.
On Wednesday the Annies hosted 'Friendsgiving' and a group of us assistants got together for another pot-luck evening. As always, there was an impressive selection of food (especially desserts) and the lasagne made by Italian assistants Lavinia, Diego and Alice was belissima!
Thursday was Thanksgiving itself and with so many American friends out here it couldn't go without a celebration. Cece, Rose and I went out for a meal at a swanky restaurant called 83Vernet. The place was really classy with trendy yo-pro vibes, we will definitely be back.
I'm off home this weekend to surprise my Grannie for her 80th birthday celebrations! After a 2 hour delay agitatedly waiting on the runway at Marseille airport, our flight finally took off. Things went very smoothly the other end - got a free ticket home from Gatwick and had a blissful evening watching Pointless and catching up with the rents over a home cooked meal. Dreamy.
Early start this morning as we head off oop North.
Bisous,
Katie x
