So what's this all about?

Well...I'm off to spend the year in Montpellier and I thought writing a blog would be the best way to keep everyone up to date with what's going on, plus it's something I can look back on when I have to return home. So here goes!!

NOEL ARRIVE!

Exam period generally means rarely leaving the house, finding anything possible at all to do in order to avoid the one thing you should be doing and being on the brink of going crazy at any moment, just because. Oh, and getting through enough cups of tea to keep Tetleys going strong for another year. So what better way to take a revision break and escape the impending onset of cabin fever than to have a wander round the Christmas market at Comédie and get truly into the Christmas spirit (yes, I'm aware it's only just turned December, but hey).  

France has decided to go its own way on this and has its very own version of a German market – only instead of the huge pints of beer and cheap sausages, it’s the much more civilised options of vin chaud and tartiflette (imagine some kind of concoction of creamy cheesy potatoes with bacon... YUM), rounded off with a crepe (with the omnipresent nutella). 




Because every Christmas market needs an igloo. 





Christmas is on its way! Got to get these exams out the way first, just wish that I cared slightly more about them than I actually do...
