Yes, it’s been a while, that’s for sure. To do a quick sum-up now is far too daunting for me, so I’ll just start with the easiest thing…What’s now, what’s next.
I got to London on Wednesday and spent the evening with Ellen. My connecting flight had gotten canceled due to snow in Atlanta, so they had to rebook us all on different flights. Luckily for me, that meant a rebook on a direct flight through British. I had 4 hours to kill in Seattle, so mom picked me back up and I went home and repacked a little better. When I got to London, Ellen and I went to a Greek place and had the eat what they bring you option. It was delicious. We got up early and I was off to the airport again.
I arrived in Poitiers and Nash picked me up from the Airport. The chateau is just the same as always. The highlights of my 4 days here have been stacking wood from the recent storm along with constant burn piles, trying to speak french to Tom, the groundskeeper, good, exotic meals thanks to Linda, relaxing.
Low lights are IT IS FREEZING COLD!!! and the other night, I was carrying two glasses (only one had wine in it) and I tripped over the rug and fell into the wall. I couldn’t drop the glasses, so I stopped the fall with my face. I scraped all the skin off my nose in two places and got a huge bruise. After two days of concussion watch, I am convinced I am in the clear. However, in combination with my fur hat, I do look a little like a domestically abused, purchased bride. Luckily, Mike isn’t here to receive any inquisitive looks.
Tomorrow I will set out on my one-man journey from St Julien l’Ars to Coaraze to pick Mike up from the olive farm. I will drive in an early 90s Ford Escort, which has neither a speedometer nor an odometer and what I don’t consider to be a reliable gas gauge. All in all, a perfect vehicle for the 900km drive.
A bientot!
Sad face.
drive safe azure xo
Wait- are you and Joana corresponding by picking up vibrations in the ground with your faces?? She did the EXACT same thing – just on the street – on Sunday as well.. Weird!
