One Day

I haven't done a photo every hour post on here for a while, and thought it might be nice to share what a "typical" day is like here for me in Bordeaux. Let's be honest though, life is anything but typical right now!

I really like looking at these kind of posts by other bloggers. Did you enjoy an insight into one of my working days? Of course, weekends normally involve red wine, travel and going out for dinner. I hope to feature one of those soon!

    1. Yes Rosie, the genius of Tuesdays means I get over half the working week done with, and then I can get on to more important things (naps, daytime wine, cat-hunting...)
